    Hi,
    DID YOU PERSUIT CHEMOEMBO OR RADIOEMBO thru consultation by an interventional radiologist before deciding on alkaline diet ? It seems you are not .
    It is hard for me to see this is happening,when treatment may extend life with quality of life better than chemotherapy is available but not persuit futher; but then again we can only suggest. it is not our function to ask people to do things even though better evidenced-base treatment is available for such cancer if qualify .
    Good luck and God bless.

    Dear Mark, I do agree with you. Teddy was 78 when we were told that there was nothing more that could be done. We were told 4-5 months and the ONC suggested Palliative Chemo to which Teddy asked, “How much longer will that buy me?”. The ONC said a month. Teddy opted NOT to do the Chemo as he preferred what quality time he could have over Chemo time. I am not much of a believer in the natural way but perhaps some other members can come forward with some suggestions for you. TO me the bottom line is Dad’s comfort and there are some very good Meds for that should he develop any discomfort. Mark, be strong, stronger than you ever thought you could be and do not look back and ever feel regret for any decisions you helped to make. We are all doing the best we can with a Cancer we don’t know much about. Thoughts and prayers being sent your way.

    Hi all,I’m do depressed coz the onc told me that the reccurence of my da is bad there is many spots on the liver after just one year after resection and that his prognosis is poor he could have 3-4months to live:((( and a new surgery is not possible,the onc said that he should start on folforinox regimen but heard that is hard chemo combination,I’m afraid coz when I see him he is looking good and not loosing any weight and have good energy he doesn’t look tired so I was thinking that maybe the chemo will make him very weak and the outcome is poor prognosis even with chemo so why to make him feel bad from chemo since he is ok now, we decided to switch to a alkaline diet to boost the immune system maybe he can fight the disease naturally can anyone help with the decision since the chemo doesn’t heal for what does he need more pain and frustration I think that it would be more peaceful to live as nothing happened and keep it for the faith of god, please help me for a better desicion ,waiting all your thoughts thx
