I appreciate people like you sharing your story and hoping for the best outcome. I believe that a big part of me being a hypochondriac is the mildest symptoms can sometimes turn out to be a very serious illness.

You can do this!! ..I healed from incurable inoperable stage 4 metastatic melanoma brain cancer, secondary to the lungs, bowels, pelvis and hip. 15 metastases in the brain alone. They wrote me off and said I would be lucky to get a max of 6 months. It's coming up 4 years.... wrote a book on my first 12 months to help others with all of my protocols, supplements, therapies etc.... BE YOUR OWN MIRACLE 📖 ✨️ Sending so much positive energy and healing to you beautiful soul 💛💫

Hi! I was originally diagnosed with a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma in 2012, surgery, chemo, radiation. Looked good for twelve whole years. Then this year, at my 4 month MRI it showed that it came back. It came back originally as AA3 again, but my doctor says it’s moving like a level 4 glioblastoma. I did six cycles of the temodar pills, 2 infusions of Avastin, another infusion on Monday, and he wants to talk about a possible new plan. He thinks my tumor may have grown a resistance to the temodar. The 5 days on 23 days off is giving it too much time to repair itself, so I may have to go on a daily low dose of it, plus some other things, I’ll know on Monday!!

[@bluesmoke8826]

How are you coming along?

[@Dravasky]

@ I just had dental surgery so have to pause chemo etc for a while so I can heal, but I’m still kicking!

[@LoraleeArmstrongNunley]

Lots of trials. My brother had a trial chemo. Lost his teeth so many issues. He lived 5 years with colon cancer fenbenzadole was helpful. Dog dewormer made him cancer free. But trial testing stopped working. You are strong. Keep it up. You’ve got this

Hi Amanda.I have just listened to your story .and wondered if you had heard to the work of Matthews friends in UK also the Charlie Foundation in US.These organisations support people with epilepsy wishing to use the Ketogenic diet to control seizures.They now also support people experiencing seizures caused by brain cancers using Ketogenic dietary therapy.

[@lisamccullough5150]

No type of “diet” will help with seizures go pettle your BS somewhere else.

[@angelazabo3543]

I have breast cancer and my doctor took all the cancer out but it still can come back. I dont understand. I would like to know if anyone can explain how can this happen.

[@19th-Nervous-Breakdown]

Cancer can come back after the primary tumor has been removed because there might be some microscopic cells left and because malignant tumors shed cells that can enter your lymphatic system and be carried to other parts of your body where they can grow. Surgery is frequently followed by radiation and/or chemotherapy to prevent this.

[@saraha5070]

That’s why we are in remission and not cured. Cancer cells can still be floating in our system. I did double mastectomy, chemo and hormone therapy, and still have about a 15% chance of a metastatic recurrence

[@rayray7906]

Your diet could be the problem too. Have u cut our sugar abs refined carbs? Have you increase fruits and veggies? What about intermittent fasting? Do u read ingredients before u buy/eat food

[@lisamccullough5150]

@@rayray7906Your diet does not drive cancer that is completely false and pseudoscience.

[@Serenitynow958]

May I ask if you had to use the same medications that is used for IVF ? I’m curious because I went through 5 rounds myself and they told me it could possibly raise my cancer risks. Is egg retrieval just a “ regular “ IVF round and the eggs are frozen or are they actually fertilized embryos? Good luck on your journey!!
