As Terry Hamblin has pointed out, "alternative" is just another word for "unproven." Because if it becomes proven, then it is no longer alternative.Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420873277607900142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-74732029194137207372007-08-05T00:46:00.000-04:002007-08-05T00:46:00.000-04:00Vance,I had both a PET/CT fusion scan, and accompa...Vance,<BR/><BR/>I had both a PET/CT fusion scan, and accompanying CT scans of everything from my neck down to my pelvis. The radiologist's report I'm quoting here is informed by all those scans.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540884672406337833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-70959906388234768272007-08-05T00:44:00.000-04:002007-08-05T00:44:00.000-04:00Thank you, Dee, I'll take it under advisement. I'...Thank you, Dee, I'll take it under advisement. I'm glad you think low-dose Naltrexone is working for you, but I have a preference for trying mainstream treatments - the products of carefully monitored clinical trials - first, before moving on to therapies like this one.<BR/><BR/>I realize that, in your case (with the oncologist having said there's nothing for you but palliative treatments), you may feel you have nothing to lose. And, you're probably right. Which makes the benefits you're experiencing all the sweeter.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I'm not in the same place you're in, so I'm going to stick to the conventional treatments. Unless and until I've exhausted all other possibilities, I don't want to take any medication on my own that could jeopardize the success of other treatments.<BR/><BR/>My good wishes and prayers are with you for continued healing, wherever it comes from and whatever form it takes.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540884672406337833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-67622945951322878272007-08-05T00:33:00.000-04:002007-08-05T00:33:00.000-04:00Did you have a simple PET, or did you have a PET/C...Did you have a simple PET, or did you have a PET/CT?Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420873277607900142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802617.post-75165355527242808012007-08-04T22:04:00.000-04:002007-08-04T22:04:00.000-04:00Hello,I have been following your blog and a few o...Hello,<BR/>I have been following your blog and a few others linked with cancer. I feel you could really benefit from Low dose Naltrexone. <BR/><BR/>You seem to do your homework in researching material so this might be the solution for you now to stabilize the lymph nodes. <BR/><BR/>I have stage 4B ( metastases lung)Oncologist said nothing further could be done only palliative chemotherapy. My blog with link, my scans, charts, story, etc. www.ldn4cancer.com/<BR/><BR/>I was told of my terminal metastases in February 2007 with no chance to survive as no treatment would benefit. My good friend told me about Low dose Naltrexone and have been on it since. It is inexpensive only about US$38/per month and non toxic, no side effects.<BR/><BR/>I am doing great and feel fine and shouldn't be typing this to you now as I had only 4- 9 months. Your oncologist/doctor won't know about it. Mine didn't and dropped me as a patient. I contacted a local GP who didn't know about LDN but was interested and did his research and now he is prescribing it for many of his patients for various ailments.<BR/><BR/>LDN can stop /or regress cancer but not a cure for metastatic cancer. But stops it right where it is without any further progression.. I take it for cervical cancer now metastatic to my lungs and have slowed and stopped progression.<BR/>The websites below explains what it is and what it does...<BR/><BR/>http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/<BR/><BR/>http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ldn_and_cancer.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.susiemaui.com/low_dose_naltrexone.htm<BR/><BR/>http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/LDN_4_cancer/<BR/><BR/><BR/> I recommend reading this book-<BR/>http://www.marybradleybooks.com/LDN%20Book.htm<BR/><BR/><BR/>Be well,<BR/><BR/>DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
