I posted in September telling you all about Smitty, whose initial diagnosis was in Dec., 2001, stage IV Base of tongue; treatment max rad; 2 rounds 5FU/Cisplatin and neck dissection ending April, 2002. After many checkups (the most recent in May,,2004) the cancer has returned. Evidently it is spreading through the blood and/or lymph system. He has 5-6 lesions in the brain, tumors in chest and lungs, and tumors now showing up under the skin in muscle tissue. Prognois was 3 - 6 months in Sept. We started researching alternative treatments when we got the news that there was no cure because he has so much disease. There is so much out there that it is very confusing. And of course they all say they cure cancer and that there is a vast conspiracy in the traditional medical community and drug companies to keep cancer a big business. I really find that hard to believe, but it is frustrating. Smitty is currently taking some of these alternative "meds?" Cantron and Noni juice. Has anyone heard of these things or know of anyone who has had success using any of these alternatives? There is also something call the Rife Light treatment. Smitty actually had 4 of those treatments. Anyway, I just thought I'd ask. He is not feeling well at all (as you can imagine) and I guess we are just waiting for the really bad stuff to start.
Thanks for any info you can give.
Love and peaace to you all, Donna
