Kevin, welcome to OCF! If anyone needed our group, you and your sister do!!!

Im going to be brutally honest with you and hope you understand this info is given out of caring. Anyone who has attempted to choose alternative treatments for oral cancer has passed away or on the road to doing so. This is NOT the type of cancer to fool around with! It can be very fast moving, checking out all kinds of "alternative" treatments could cause delays making her chances of survival slim. The only scientifically proven ways to eliminate oral cancer are thru surgery or radiation with or without chemo. This type of cancer is so strong that even chemo alone wont completely kill it.

The clinics in Mexico are there to steal patients money. Its all a big racket with treatments not proven to succeed. PLEASE tell her to avoid these types of things like the plague. If your sister wont believe me then all she has to do is type in Mexican cancer clinics in the search bar of Quackwatch and find out for herself what those places are for. The clinics in Mexico or other countries are often just money making schemes. PLEASE print this out and give to your sister!!!

Quackwatch... Mexican Clinics

If your sister would like to speak with someone over the phone I talk to patients and caregivers all the time. Ive been doing it for several years speaking to hundreds of patients and caregivers. I will send you my info thru our private message system (PM).

Even if your sister isnt used to working on a computer you can still help her by printing out replies and giving them to her.

Best wishes!!!


PS... Hers a list of CCCs for anyone who needs it. You can search by state. Many hospitals will do charity work for un/underinsured patients. You have to ask whats available.
