Repurposed Drugs Protocol?

I did weekly doxirubicin, which is a slightly different mix than the neoadjuvant which has a curative intent. I was on it for a year. Fairly tolerable but they will watch for heart issues on it as there is a life time maximum. They added the heart protectant drug Dexrazoxane to the protocol.

And I am now doing a trial BRTTRIO036 but I don't think she would qualify as she has already been on paclitaxel. My MO has indicated that we will circle back to drugs that worked for me in the past, could this be an option?

MBC Husband, I would suggest to find a good Naturopathic doctor to help you. I have taken several off label drugs in the past but just take mistletoe and ldn now. I also take a few supplements that have shown to have anti cancer properties but I work with my doctor to make sure it doesn't interfere with my cancer meds. There is a really good fb group called repurposed drugs for cancer treatment that has a lot of information. You still have to do your own research though because some of those drugs can be harmful.

Thanks Olma61, I'll check those out. Yes, Jane McLelland et al.

ldn is low dose naltrexone. Not sure if your on Facebook, but that group I mentioned has members from all over the world and they may be able to recommend a Naturopathic doctor who specializes in treating cancer near you. One problem I find is there is a lack of studies on some of the off labels and a lot of people guess at what dosage to take.

MBC Husband, other groups I follow on FB is Healing Cancer Study Support Group and Always Hope Cancer Protocol Support Group.

Good books to read if your interested in using off labels are:

Naturopathic Oncology by Dr. Neil McKinney. This is an excellent book.

Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha Winters. This is another excellent book. Dr Winters has been living with stage 4 Ovarian cancer for 20+ years.

How to starve Cancer by Jane McLelland. I found this book hard to read but It does have some good info. It might be easier for you since you are a doctor.

One thing I don't like about Jane's approach is that a person has to take so many pills and dosages are not listed in her book. There are so many paths cancer uses to grow I don't see how they can all be covered. It requires a lot of your own research because some of the supplements listed are not good for er+ bc.

Good luck. I hope you can find a good Naturopathic doctor to help you.

SImone80,

Do you know which supplements are not good for ER/PR positive cancers?

MBC Husband, I would also suggest finding a NP. My husband was skeptical as well but they know more about the body than my regular doctors. In fact, when first diagnosed with Stage 4 it was my NP that told me to ask my oncologist to run my Vit D levels bc connection with low levels and BC. So I did and he told me no that I didn't need that. Three years later he writes and publishes a paper on low Vit D and breast cancer. I don't think you can approach cancer from only one side.
