Dear Ted and Patty,
Thank you for your kind words. I wil look into the IP-6 as it is mentioned quite a lot on this site. Here in the UK there is not a great deal of emphasis on alternative therapies, or if there is Iit has never been mentioned to me.
I hope Patty is feeling well at the moment – and that you are both keeping strong.
Ray will be going for his next CT scan on Friday this week, then I suppose we will have to decide whether he can continue without treatment or whether to go with the chemo.
Fingers crossed it has not grown too much.
Sue.Dear Val,
My husband also worked with Trichloroethylene, he used to service dry cleaning machines as part of his job, again this was probably in the 70s – he has been wondering if this was to blame for the cancer?
It may be a coincidence but TCE is classed as a carcinogen now.
SueDear Joyce and Jeff,
Thank you so much for your kind massages, I cannot tell you how much it means that complete strangers care enough to offer comfort. My husband has a CT scan on Friday this week and we will see the consultant on Tuesday to discuss the results. We will keep an open mind and I will also bear in mind your experiences. The consultant is great he is letting my husband make up his own mind and not pushing chemo at the moment, but if he does suggest it might be a good thing, we will be guided by him. I think he said he would start on Gemcitabine first as this is best tolerated but if that didnt work he may add oxiplatin or cisplatin. I asked Ray if he wanted to do anything while he was still well and he said that he had done everything he wanted to do, just would have liked to do more of the same. He has three beautiful daughters and thre lovely grandchildern so he says he has left his legacy to the world!
Many thanks
SueDear Mike,
So sorry to hear about your son, you must be devastated. I have been giving my husband Grapeseed extract – it is a very strong antioxidant – it is important to get a good quality one with a high OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin) content – if you are in the US Meganatural Gold from Polyphenolics is a very good one. You can give it a try
Wishing you all the best.
