I see the person who asked about multiple myeloma natural therapies. I now work at the Phoenix Earth Food Co-op in Toledo and we supply Judith Hendricks (the wife of the well-known "scat" singer, Jon Hendricks) who used the Gerson Therapy to defeat this disease. It's been many years for her.
I'm still doing well without doing the surgery, radiation, or chemo for invasive lobular carcinoma. I follow Dr. Aukerman's regiman (OSU) and also do a lot from my own research. I'm four years out.
Do you know of any trials that are for mesothelioma.Its been a year since that found it so I beating the odds.Its a hard cancer to control I went thur a trial at Hopkins which helped at first then it spread so I was taken off the trial.Im getting Chemo weekly now its holding it but you cant stay on chemo forever.Any advice would be appreicated:smile

Hi I am doing Gerson Therapy for lymphoma and recovering very well. I have about another 12 months to go on the diet but yes it seems that natural therapies are the most successful.
I am a new member to this site as well as to the Cancer World. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of this year and after first surgery refused further treatment until the pain was so severe I could not bear it. I am now on a trial study of Sutent and Taxol which I believe is doing much more damage than the disease. I have always been interested in natural medicine but it seems expensive. I hope this sight will help me and my shared experience will help others. I am not really a "tech type" person so I hope I can learn to navagate the site well. Looking forward to the shared knowledge and experience.
I understand the feeling of watching a lived one suffer. I also know when you feel hopeless it hurts even more. I am a survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma and I want to help other people who are affected by it or the ones they love. I am willing to be a helping hand to those in need.
Michael: In February 2008, I was diagnosed with a primary lung carcinoma. I underwent surgery (lobectomy) right lower lobe. It turned out to be an adenocarcinoma. 1.8 x 1.6 cm. I took cat scans both (3) and (6) six months postoperative. The (6) month scan revealed a mass on my right adrenal gland 4.0 x2.5 cm suspicious for metastatic disease. The lung surgeon said that chemo and radiation was not necessary. He said the surgery was a cure. I am now faced with adrenal surgery (laparoscopic surgery) to remove both the mass and the adrenal gland. This is a very rare and very aggressive cancer. I have searched the Internet and archives and cannot find much information. Any knowledge that you or your friends can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank You. catch223@optonline.net Tony P
