Hi everyone,
My mother has stage four gastro oesophageal cancer, on first diagnosis the doctors at Royal Marsden said it has spread and enlarged her periaorta lymph nodes. They said it was inoperable and incurable. She is only 56 and was the bread winner of our family and the doctor even commented that she doesn’t look like she has stage four cancer.
They started her on palliative chemo ( cisplaitin and Capecitabine) but after three rounds they found that it had spread to her liver and the one in her stomach had also enlarged. They said she could try an immunotherapy trial but again we’re very pessimistic about the possible outcome.
Her cancer team said she would start the treatment in 4 weeks and assured my worried mother that four weeks won’t make too much of a difference to the spread. 4 weeks became 8 weeks due to unnecessary delays made by her cancer team. She had another CT scan and found everything had increased in size and there were now deposited in her lungs. Her doctors do not seem phased by this and has not triggered them to work harder for my mother in fact it seemed to play into their narrative of ‘ there’s not point trying.’
She is now on the trial, but I would just like to know if anyone at all has gone through anything like this? And also if people have any suggestions of what sort of diet can complement immunotherapy. Because I am determined my mother will somehow get through this with or without medical professionals help. If I’m honest they failed from the start.
Thank you for listening
I can thoroughly recommend trying Essiac Tea combined with dietary changes and supplements. It worked for me. Happy to discuss if you message me.
