First hand observance with my mother

Severe juicing with a badass juicer like a Norwalk cold presser which will set you back over 2500

But if you’re Nazi regimented and don’t cheat it’ll buy you six months on most bad assed cancers and is far easier to tolerate than chemo and avastin etc

Seen it with my own eyes daily....

It confuses how cancer feeds which is usually taking all the nutrition from healthy cells

But it takes discipline and will

It can on occasion create miracle results but at least buys some quality time

Chemo does not

Unless I’m 50/50 three years extra life after surviving chemo and radiation I’m gonna pass in favor of opioids and cocortisteroids

Who cares about Cushings at that point.

My understanding is that Neurontin is an effective drug against the symptoms of Cushing’s.

#4. Don’t know what a Norwalk cold presser is but at that cost, wouldn’t it be a good idea to get a group of cancer patients/insurance to chip in and buy one or two for all of them to use on an alternating basis, or to put one in a common place (i.e. hospital) where they could come in and use the machine.

I had the end of Stage 1 pancreatic Cancer (Whipple Procedure to do a vegematic chop job inside to remove part of the Pancreas, some of the liver, bile duct, fats, etc), followed by Chemo pills (Capecetabine), Infusions and then Cape and radiation therapy.

Given an 85% chance of the cancer not coming back. If it does, more infusions, pills and radiation without any guaranteed results.

Have found that there are foundations which help pay for or help defray some of the costs for very expensive meds including Capecetabine and Eliquis.

Check with your doctors and pharmachists/pharmacy attacked to your insurance policies for further information about this badly needed financial aid program.

Hope everyone gets all the help they can. Fighting cancer is worth it, even if you lose in the end (both my parents died of resp., liver cancer and Leukemia - my father died shortly after his operation because his internal systems were too badly damaged. My mother got a year and a half to spent with her grandchildren).

Otherwise, you’ll surrender too early and lose precious time with your family and friends.

I’ve had Cushings three times from lengthy high dose prednisone. Not fun, but it will eventually go away once you’re weaned off of it. Of course in the cancer situation you’re speaking of that wouldn’t matter.
