Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thanks Bruce and others who replied. I'm asking because it is my wife who has been diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer. To complicate things she is 19 weeks pregnant with our third child. The only treatment proposed by the doctors is a full masectomy and chemo while she's pregnant, the argument being that breast cancer in young women is generally more agressive coupled with the fact of increased vascularisation in her breast. They arn't able to tell if it's estrogen receptive until it's out which seems a pointless bit of information. Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi Darryl This is Capt Dan. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer with multiple mets to the bone. After intensive research on what my options were, I decided against chemo and radiation, and chose to go to the San Diego clinic in Mexico. Thank God I did. Now one year after starting treatment, I had another MRI. The primary tumor in my prostate has regressed and the bone tumors are indolent(stable not growing) I am in excellent health and still working hard in Kuwait. On our last visit to the clinic in November this year, my wife and I met 5 women with breast cancer. Four of them at the San Diego Clinic, and one at a hospital in Tijuana that specializes in the Gearson therapy. Four of the women had a biopsy, and or a lumpectomy. All four experienced immediate increased cancer activity. All four had chemo. All four got sicker and came to Mexico in desperation two in wheelchairs, one to the clinic and the other to the hospital. The fifth lady did not have a biopsy, although she did have a mamogram. She came directly to the clinic. She did not have chemo, radiation or surgery. Now two years later the lump has gone from her breast and she is in perfect health. She comes to the clinic every three months now for a check up. The lady who went to the hospital was able to walk after three weeks. When we met her she was walking, talking, eating and sleeping well, although still weak and will stay in the hospital for another month. All three other ladies at the clinic appeared to be much better than when they arrived. I do not have the experience or knowledge to advise people. I can only tell you this. As a result of my research I discovered that except for some cancers, chemo has a success rate of only 6%. For me 6% is on a par with spontaneous remission. It happens sometimes. The other thing I discovered by analysis of many clincal trials for prostate cancer, was that all the men taking chemo died on time at 16 to 36 months. The objective of these trials appears to be to try to extend the " chemo treated " life expectancy by a few months. Its hard to find men who are long term survivors of advanced metastatic prostate cancer because most men are allready in their fifties or sixties at diagnosis, take hormone suppression and chemo as the standard treatment, and if they survive the cancer die of other things, (like natural causes) before becoming " long term " survivors. I did however find Cliff. Who now has sixteen years disease free survival. Cliff had only hormone treatment for the first three years with cottage cheese and flax seed oil every day during that time and thereafter. Cancer is a very tough, cunning and elusive disease. Every cancer is as different as the body that hosts it. What works for one may not work for another. So, please be careful of well intenioned but uninformed people who give you quick answers. No matter what you decide to do you must get an immunologist on the team to help create a protocol that will work for your wife. Get a thorough blood workup, reviewed by an MD Immunolgist. This will identify the condition of her immune system, and is the first step to take. You might have your wife order the video tape by Dr lorraine Day who cured herself of breast cancer: Heres the link: www.drday.com Also start her on the Dr Budwig diet right away. This is the cottage cheese and flax oil: You can buy her book: " How to fight cancer and win " at Amazon.com Again. Be VERY VERY careful about taking advice from people who mean well. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. CHECK CHECK and CHECK again. The Internet is your rescource. Use it well. Despite what you read on sites like this one. There are medical doctors who are practicing " intergrative complementary medicine " You have to find them. Dr in New York is one. Dr Day is another, Dr Munoz of the San Diego Clinic is another of www.sdiegoclinic.com and Vince Gammill of the Center for Natural Oncology can advise you www.Natural-Oncology.org Dan --------------------------------- Want to start your own business?
