My meeting with a survivor who used alternatives

No this is the only place. I thought I would put it here because she did do chemo and rads, but then after I thought about it I thought it should probably go there. I typed the whole thing on my phone!

I think it depends where it is located. I work in med recs and have seen charts with them described as very aggresive with poor prognosis. this is from pubmed.

Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors of the uterus are rare. When present, the majority is found in the uterine cervix. Several theories on the histogenesis of these tumors have been proposed including an origin from local neuroendocrine cells or from reserve cells. The latter hypothesis is supported by the fact that not too seldom uterine neuroendocrine tumors contain other histological components including adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma or even both. A firm diagnosis can usually the rendered when immunostainings and/or electron microscopy are performed, in addition to conventional light microscopy and Grimelius stain. The tumors react positively for a diversity of so-called neuroendocrine markers and several hormonal substances. Ultrastructurally, they contain dense- core neurosecretory granules. Prognosis is usually poor with most patients dying within one year from diagnosis. Survival can only be achieved in patients who present with early disease.

Wow, that's awesome! I hope I have the discipline to do it. I made the tea yesterday and its not very tasty but its tolerable. One thing I forgot to mention, I asked her if she ever did get the hysterectomy and she said no. She had kidney problems from the chemo she had but its improving.

No but I would say 50 something. Low 50s maybe.

I haven't looked into it but some people do say that the red clover should not be used by people with ER+ cancer. I've never taken tamoxifen but I'm taking AIs right now.

Hi Karina, I have not done the cleanse myself. I did so much research and couldn't figure out what was safe or not and just never got around to it. Then I went to holistic Dr and he told me how the body detoxes itself and what I can do to help the process. So I have been trying to do it that way, with what I am eating. Basically you want to eat plenty of methyl groups which is colorful and leafy vegetables, then you want to eat plenty of sulfur groups which is the cruciferous family like broccoli, brussels sprouts, kale etc. I have been having probs with constipation due to the meds and that's another reason I keep putting off doing an acyual cleanse, because the toxins will just go around the cycle again and be reabsorbed until I can get this problem solved. I have seen a lot of youtube videos about the epsom salts. I was kind of afraid to do them, not sure why. So without having done any myself, it seems like people really trust the Dr Schulze cleanses. I have also seen people use psyllium and I think the idea there is that the psyllium will absorb toxins that are stuck to the intestinal walls, as opposed to just making you have a bm. The psyllium gets really thick in the body which is why I was afraid of taking it because of my off and on constipation. I didn't want a big blob a psyllium full of the toxins that it has absorbed to get stuck! So anyway for now I'm doing the foods that are cleansing and taking senna laxatives as needed until I can figure out a better plan to get things moving in a reliable consistent way. The holistic dr also said to avoid fumes and avoid plastics. I also drink hot water with juice from half a lemon which is supposed to help digestion and be cleansing to the liver. Sorry I couldn't be more help with the cleanses.

Thanks Essa, yes, I keep this lady in mind every time I get scared. Everything doesn't work for everyone but she proved to me that its possible. I wondered about the poly mva because it was so expensive. She lives about 3 hours from me in the town where my parents grew up. I've been back once since and plan to stop in at her store and visit whenever I go there to see relatives. I buy a few batches of tea when I go in. They have a store full of all kinds of discount items and a small section where they sell some of the herbs and supplements she takes. Not many though, just the tea anf graviola. She really believes in the graviola and gave me an article about it. She had some capsules but I found the extract at Swanson. Going to start that when I run out of maitake extract. I was surprised she didn't take turmeric.

Yes it is sneaky! I am doing both as well. This lady did say that she thought radiation saved her. It was after the chemo and rads that they told her there was nothing more to do and then she started on all of the alternatives.

I have noticed that too, and back in the day they used to take muscle and do a more radical surgery. I have to wonder if that made a difference.
