It was brutal. There have been advances in early detection and treatment of ovarian cancer since then, but not enough. A diagnosis is still a death warrant, with few exceptions.
Your point about the immune system is interesting. I'm certain there is some truth to it. Compounding matters for cancer patients is that the treatment often virtually destroys the immune system, leaving very sick people very exposed to secondary illness. My poor mother lasted only a year after diagnosis... she beat the odds, believe it or not... but was continually sick with colds, flu, infections. Of course, treatments are at hospitals, so the exposure is continual. I remember when I flew to see her after her treatment, my dad made me strip to my skin in the garage and put my clothes in the washing machine before I could enter the house. Then I had to take a hot shower with antibacterial soap before I could even hug my mother.
Yes, the current cancer treatments most likely destroy the immune system.
Fortunate are those who survive it all.
This is one of those times when organic foods should be considered, for sure.
Vicious circle/cycle, isn’t it.
So sorry about your mother.
How did I hear the word ‘disease’ described years ago - ??
Oh - right: Dis - ease . . . . interesting - - -
Consider Googling ‘Mycho Phyto Complex,’ by Advanced Bionutritionals. This is the only brand I can vouch for. I/we have stopped illnesses in their tracks. Read their claims.
HowEVer, do NOT take just 1 capsule at a time, except for maintenance when well. (one a day, like a vitamin)! I take many the first 24 hours.
Four, every 4 hours for 12 hours at least, then taper.
The product isn’t cheap, but illness is ‘expensive,’ so we consider this prodct worth every penny.
Many of our grandkids have parents who give them this product - our recommendation, of course!
Thanks for sharing what you did.
