Go vegan...read the china study...compelling stuff....and big hugs :-)
there is no real answer.....Horrible to say I know but your friend probably is aware she is on borrowed time...my only comment based on a friend that recently passed away with prostate cancer is
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY
I have a very close friend going through the same thing, we don`t talk about miracle cures or be unrealistic, it breaks my heart to have those sort of conversations with him because you do want to say its going to be ok and things will work out when you know they might not. His head is in a good place and he has thought quite a lot about his family and grandchildren and like Dean says you just have to make the most of what you have here and now and help them live their last few months/years in loving supporting way.
i have done a few parachute jumps and completed the royal marines 30 miler carrying 15 kg for cancer research.
i always put in a lot of money from myself and do get a bit of sponsorship.
about 20 years ago i was working in a large factory with just my boss. he was a young man, only 32 and just got his first house and had two very young children.
he fell ill just before christmas one year and after we all returned from christmas break i got the news that he had cancer and it was terminal.
it shock me to the core. fit and healthy one week and told your going to die the next.
i felt so sorry for his lovely family that i decided to do what i could.
but when you see someone you know suffering and you can see the changes to them it does make you feel uneasy and unsure of what to say to them.
and i have to admit. there is a smell to death. and its a smell you never forget.
me n my mum are finding black humor works for us... however not everyone agrees with us or gets it .... on a plus note n just had to tell.... consultant app on thurs showed shes got 3 fractured ribs n the cancer has not spread..which is what we was expecting ..so good news all round lol
Hi Kat
I am really sorry to hear about your friend . None of us know the answer to this .
However I have found myself in a sort of similar position searching for answers .
I found You Tube was full of information, a lot from Doctors. I am not saying the answer is there but I learnt a lot . Food seems to play an important role in the whole thing .
We as a nation know so little about food I think you should start your search there .
They are always telling us that early detection can help defeat cancer and this is true . Your friend cannot be hurt by trying some of the many things you will find on You Tube .
Many Doctors tell you to take all forms of sugar from the diet ( cancer cells thrive on glucose ) Also B 17 taken naturally or as a supplement , according to some is extremely beneficial .
All cancers are different as are all humans I don't claim to know anything at all about the treatment of cancer just to say it may help you and your friend to start your search there .
I wish you both the very best of luck .
My very best to you both .
Tony . x
