Look at ZendaT, GmKraft, Stilty. I think they are all involved in lung mets. Zenda has been around a while. There are a few more as well. Ideally you get into a trial and are able to extend your life for as long as possible and potentially something or someone will come along with something that is successful.

There was a guy in Nova scotia here with a liver tumor that was wrapped around his liver in such a way that it was inoperable.
He went through all conventional treatments and in the end they told him go home to die. (they gave him 6 mos)

He looked into a different treatment offered at a hospital in calgary (clinical trial?) did the full regime. I didn't shrink the tumor just stabilized it.

He finished they said we've done all we can do. go home.

He went back home. His wife put him on an alkaline diet. and he lived his life hoping that something else would come along before he got worse. Jump ahead 10 years. (he had small kids too) they'd moved to Toronto and he told his new family dr. about his situation - they sent him to princess margaret thinking maybe he should be assessed again. they too said... there's nothing more we can do. It's inoperable.

Well then his dr. referred him to a transplant specialist who was doing amazing work at toronto general.

the dr. decided to try and operate.

removed the man's liver and lowered it's temperature to the point where there was no cell damage. Then he operated on the liver alone (like they would when they do a transpant) and was able to remove all of the tumor.

Now he is cancer free.

it's all about holding on.

As a side note. They don't know why his tumor stabilized... the clinical trial he had was short - 6 months. he changed his habits and lived on his diet for 10 years with no tumor growth.

regardless. He is looking forward to seeing his kids graduate and get married.

never give up.

hugs.
