I just have to let this out. I am so tired of people sending me cures for cancer, have you tried this or that. Some are eating leaves of the moringa tree. One of them is Ivermectin which is a horse and sheep de worming tablet. I know that there is research on this but it is only research. Also I have had You have beaten this once, you will beat it again. And the worst is Be Positive you have to Be Positive. I know this I live with it every day. If I hear this once more time, I might scream.
Hi Coddfish, all these strange supplements I stay away from, some I tried and they atr not good for my diabetes, depends on the person. I do take Iron, Magnesium, Vitamin D and calcium, a good diet and alot of green vedge. All the vitamins as I keep getting deficiencies in my blood when on treatment, but there not bad now I'm off it, and cancer free. Scan on the 19th. XX take care. XX

Oh, your post made me laugh and I am totally with you on this! Of course you need to let it out so you can remain sane.
There have been multiple similar posts in many groups on here. They are always busy! Then someone new stumbles across them and they burst into life again.
I've not had the scenario you describe above (I've told no one so the scope for being a prat is very limited!). But it is very comical that people think you can just do A or B or your onco is missing a trick because they haven't done [enter treatment option here eg surgery, radio, chemo, miracle drug].
Be positive is a funny one. The inferrence being that people who have a tough time - it's because they were negative. People need to have a think about what they are saying before they blurt it all out.
I'm going to go and read the rest of the posts in this thread now. They always contain howlers, sometimes excellent retorts. Hope the chat has helped. Good luck and best wishes to you!
you have used a word that means you might be in danger?
Yes! This happens because the site is designed to pop up with that - when it thinks there is a situation developing. It shocked me at first until I realised what was going on. The trigger word I encountered was t-h-e-r-a-p-u-t-i-c. Now it's just an annoyance.
