Since than i was stay in hospital about 2 months than discharge home to do all my duties my self.  Also i have small metastasis spread to my liver i have had Lanrotide injection since May 2022 than they stopped because look like does not help stop growing this tumour reason of this all my pet scan show clear buy unfortunately not my tumour NET without  somatostatin receptor and not catching anything to stop growing.

Still i have very severe pain than went to hospital they check everything and they said i have bowel obstruction again but how answer is food leak to your bowel but how not any one give me right answer. Since than i am not well feeling so weak and lost other 6 kg in 10 days. I couldn’t eat anything last 5 days at all even drink water give me a pain. There is not any explanation for this issue to me yet clearly.

I am very sorry take a bit mess and long story.

But does anyone try alternative treatment from a natural health professional or any other immune system support. Because they have not any kind of treatment to start for me because of nature of tumour. 
please can you share your experience with me if you not clear anything please ask me to explain to you.

many thanks for all of you

  • Hi Umut,

    Thank you for taking the time to post in this forum. I'm Dylan and I work in the online Community. I wanted to reach out to you while you wait for other Community members to reply. 

    How are you doing today?

    I was sorry to read that you have been struggling lately with eating and drinking. Have you been able to speak to your doctor about your most recent symptoms? Do you have other forms of support, Umut?

    In addition to speaking to your doctor or nurse, you could chat with one of our cancer information nurse specialists if you think that would be helpful. You can contact them on our Support Line. Our support team are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00email or live webchat.

    I hope you are able to get some good guidance soon. While we do allow for conversations about alternative treatment, I just wanted to include some of our Community guidelines below. These are in place to help keep the Community safe while these discussions take place.

    When discussing alternative and complementary therapies, you may:

    • Provide anecdotal accounts about alternative therapy use, as long as you do not make claims about their effects.
    • Advocate the use of complementary therapies alongside conventional treatment.
    • Make evidence-based claims about the effectiveness of complementary therapies in improving quality of life.

    When discussing alternative therapies, please do not:

    • Advocate the use of any alternative therapy or for using any complementary therapy as an alternative to conventional treatment;
    • Claim that any alternative or complementary therapy can cure cancer, reduce the size of tumours or in any way treat cancer;
    • Advise anyone to ignore medical experts’ advice on the use of any treatment whatsoever.
    • Promote any alternative therapy.
    • Advertise any alternative or complementary therapy for commercial gain.
