Anyone who is facing prospective cancer should start researching low dose naltrexone as your alternative treatment. It has cured my psoriasis and seems to helping my dog who has red growths/tumors on her head.
Since it is an off label use it takes a lot of experimenting to figure out what dosage to take . Reddit has a thread on it and so does facebook
My youngest son, at 48 was diagnosed with cancerous polyps in 2019. They did a double re-section, taking quite a bit of his colon, along with about 70 lymph nodes, and they did it all laparoscopically. He went through six months of chemo, and was recently give his 5-year clearance.
On a different note, my oldest son has been nursing his cat, who is about 19 years old, for liver cancer for the past three years. She's been on and off kitty-chemo for all that time, and the darn cat doesn't look or act sick. She's caught 3 mice in his flat these past couple of months. She had her recent blood test, and her condition remains stable. She's amazing.
The husband of my long-time friend, and his twin sister had the BRCA test at least 20 years ago. The sister was told by her doctor, that it wasn't a question of if she'd get breast cancer, it was a question of when. She eventually had a double mastectomy. Her twin, my friend's husband, about 10-11 years ago, was diagnosed with a rare cancer...Nasopharyngeal carcinoma and cancer of the larynx, which have a high death rate. It is very rare in the U.S. and occurs more in Southeast Asia. He was stationed in Pakistan with the Air Force during the Vietnam War, but Pakistan isn't a part of that region.
He went through intensive radiation treatments of his face and throat, and had to have a feeding tube put in to be nourished. His wife made sure she gave him food through the tube that would keep his strength up. I'm not sure if he had chemo as well. It's been well over five years for him since he received his treatments, and he's been cleared. The radiation changed his whole facial structure, and it destroyed his salivary glands. He has no spit, and has to drink plenty of fluids when he eats anything. He applied for VA benefits for the cancer a while back. At first they turned him down. He appealed his case, and was eventually approved. Must be there were other Vietnam Vets, that were diagnosed with one or both of that type of cancer. He and his twin sister were born in 1944 or 1945, so they will be 80 or 81 this December. His sister has yet to get cancer. Strange world huh?
P.S. Forgot to mention in my lengthy statement that the BRCA test showed my friend’s husband had no hereditary potential to get cancer. Like I said, strange world. Their family had high rates of cancer, even their nieces ended up with Uterine cancer and died. That was the main reason they took the BRCA test to begin with.

RummyChick...and like the dummy I am, I posted the P.S., then realized I’d never posted the original message yet. Excuse the error.
