TESTIMONIAL Re: lung cancer
Hi Tom,

Congratulations on making the changes needed to stop cancer growth! Thank you for sharing your very positive experience with us. You've sent many helpful messages to the group and I'm sure this one will be very inspiring to other members.? Nodules can take a while to dissolve and disappear even though the cancer is no longer active. At this point they are benign. As you stay on the Budwig plan, they will eventually melt away. I hope you're able to keep stress at a low level. I'm very happy for you! ?You must feel relieved. I look forward to more posts from you as you continue your journey.? Kind regards, Sandra Olson ---In FlaxSeedOil2@..., <thuber6@...> wrote : Hello Monica, ?I am sorry your friend has lung cancer. I too have lung cancer. I was diagnosed one year ago, and have refused all conventional treatment ( I am 77). The onocologist gave me two yrs if I did nothing, which was one year ago and I still feel fine. I opted against a biopsy because it may cause spreading of the cancer. No more PET or CT's either because of the sugary dyes used ( and radiation). I changed my diet to no meats,dairy products, eggs or sugar. I eat vegetarian and follow the Budwig diet fairly closely. I do have an occasional xray (every 6-9 months) to check nodule size. So far the nodules have not increased in size. Also I have HCG urine tests done. After about 8 months the HCG showed a 20% reduction in cancer activity. THe HCG urine test will show cancer activity, so why , in my opinion do a biopsy which could prove harmful. There are other blood tests that will confirm whether your friend has cancer or not. You don't need, at this time, to specify WHERE the cancer is. You already know that. Your friend just needs to track it. On blood tests etc. others will be of more help than I. I hope this has been helpful.? Tom H -----Original Message----- From: monikanne@...

? Dear Group I am hoping that a few of you out there who have experience with lung cancer can help me. I have a relative (in late 80's) who recently had a pet scan with a finding of "lung mass is consistent with malignancy." ?The size of the mass (also termed "nodule") in the report is" 2.6 cm x 2.4 cm, maximum SUV 5.8" ?and "abuts the major fissure and has two pleural tails" (not sure what the latter means) No other nodule or mass was identified. An appointment is scheduled with the pulmonologist next week. ?In preparation for that appointment, I would like to ask the following questions:? 1. Is a biopsy the only way to definitely determine lung cancer? ?My concern is that a) this is invasive and b) one test seems to be leading to another and then additional scans are scheduled
.... it never ends . ? 2. Since we know that the body uses "encapsulation" to ?sequester irregular cells, ?what are the dangers with a biopsy for lung cancer -- e.g. could it cause metastasis elsewhere? 3. ?Assuming the answer to 1 is yes, ?given the size of the nodule, would it be prudent to just go straight to alternative treatment such as Budwig Protocol? 4. ?The doctor has mentioned something like 6 radiation treatments but I don't find a lot online about radiation. Seems like it might be external beam radiation? Does anyone have any experience positive or negative that they could share with radiation treatments for lung cancer? ? 5. Given that the patient is late 80's and lung cancer seems to have a high tendency to metastasize ,
what questions or factors might guide your decision as to whether to proceed with mainstream or alternative treatment? ? When I have tried to research lung cancer online, all that comes up are a lot of medical sites devoted to mainstream treatment. You rarely see patients blogs which is why it is so nice to be able to come before this group and ask these kinds of questions. Thank you very much Monica |
