My Mother in Law has inoperable colorectal cancer. The dr. says 6 months to 18 months. But for a couple of days she has been bleeding. The dr. says it is from the cancer and suggested hospice. could this suggest the time is shorter than 6 months, as someone suggested to me.

I have colon cancer and had an operation to remove 2 feet of the intestine followed by chemotherapy in 2000.

However in 2002, the cancer came back with malignancy in the original colon area and more metastasis also in colon.
Again, I went through chemo but after that the cancers developed complications with bleeding and infection and there was no more hope from chemo or anything.
My doctors' prognosis for my case was poor and I only had 4 to 6 months to live.

Struggling through experience articles by cancer survivors, I came through a posting using alternative medicines.
Her article is at
http://waroncancer.tripod.com/

The author's experience with various alternative meds are valuable because there are a number of alternatives on the internet and magazines but which one should I choose?
In a situation when my condition was deteriorating I don't have time to waste. A decision had to be made.
I would rely on someone who had experience and hope for the best.

From her recommendations which lists 20 alternatives,I started w/ the Homeopathics by LuxHealth.
Together with this treatment, there was a need for switching to a mostly vegetarian diet and refrain from sugars to hinder the cancer from growing too fast.
This is the first time I felt I was headed for healing because the bleeding in stools stopped and the infection went away.
The above author whose name is Grace said in cancers that are advanced or in terminal cases, it is recommended to use 2 alternatives to fix the cancer.
I followed her advice and added the Paw paw by Natures
sunshine and that really added to healing because I begun feeling less and less of the pain. With relief from pain and discomfort, I knew that this was real improvement.
This therapy has gone on for about 9 months now and I am still going on with healing. At this point in time, my health is stable.
Also I feel comfortable enough to go out and do what I want like shopping and do my normal routine. Then my doctor said my case is not terminal today.
I am grateful that there are remedies for cancer other than from modern medicine. If your situation is beyond the doctor's help,
my advise is read the above survivor's article and make your decision.

Good luck,

Alex

Talking about the alternative medicine or treatment, I also got some sayings. One of my friend who has been to China to study TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) also recommend some Chinese anticancer drug made from TCM to treat cancer. He said one of the great advantage of this kind of therapy is its little side effects. He also told me there were some promising anticancer drugs from TCM with good effects.

Since chemotherapy is not tolerated well in advanced patients and of course it is not possible to get surgery,why didn't we go to the intermet to do some search on this kind of anticancer drug. Maybe it is another hope.

I would like to have a try and are willing to share my knowledge on that if I really find something.
