Cancer Treatment Patient Testimonies

Dear sirs,

How I wish I had found your website 6 months ago. I finished standard chemo radiation therapy for late stage t-4 throat cancer 2 months ago and although my tumors are gone, the side affects have dramatically lowered my quality of life. During treatment eating became impossible. Without nutrition my immune system was depleted and I had a serious infection. Hospitalized for a week and the doctors wanted me to get out of bed to continue radiation and chemo. I declined until stronger. A feeding tube was put in and I could at least ingest Ensure which is a nutrient drink high in sugar. After the hospital I regrouped for a week before going back for 4 more weeks of treatment where my throat was radiated until it was raw. The side effects of Chemo where bad enough, but the radiation is much worse for me because of the time it is taking to heal. Now here I am two months after 8 chemo and 45 radiation treatments and I have hardly any taste buds, and no saliva. In these months I got another infection that required antibiotics and hospital stays. I dealt with a month of the worst phlegm and now dry mouth that requires drinking fluids constantly. I can’t eat anything that is dry like bread or cookies. Everything must be moist to get it down. On top of it I have a morphine patch and pills for the past four months and am addicted to where I get withdrawal symptoms if I don’t take the pills. I have to have a special doctor next week to wind me off the stuff. I just packed away boxes of drugs and paraphernalia I have been using to get me through all this. I lost 50 lbs which is 25% of my body weight and only put 5 lbs back on in the past two months. Everyone thinks it is a miracle that I am doing so well, including others who have gone through similar treatments and fared worse than I.
I met a radiologist who was visiting our resort last week. When I shared with her that I just finished treatment for base of tongue cancer, she put her arm around me and said, “this is the most difficult cancer to deal with for the patient, and has the longest recuperation time. Half of my patients quit before the treatment is complete because it is so difficult. You deserve a badge of courage for making it through.” I would much rather have found this alternative and not have to wear the badge of courage! I go in next week for body scans and pray I am clear.

I wanted to share my experience with standard treatment so anyone considering this alternative can hear from someone who did not hear about it in time. I would definitely have come to your clinic and taken this alternative and less aggressive treatment to avoid all that I have had to endure.
