Dear Georgia,


Seek alternative therapy as fast as you can! This cancer is fast.
Faster than you can imagine. My father was diagnosed with it in
December 2000 and he was put on chemo for 6 consecutive 3
weeks off, 3 days on rounds since then. He instantly became so
ill, I too like yourself, immediately realized the chemo was going t
o kill my 83 year old sweetheart of a Dad. He immediately couldn't
eat, constantly vomited inspite of enormous amounts of antivomit
meds, and consistently kept losing weight.


I wanted to get him out of the chemo program but I had my mother and
brother to contend with who Dad was living with that preferred to believe
the monster oncologist....he IS a monster...no feelings, just "let's do this
chemo and that chemo" and " that didn't work". The monsters at hospitals
are more concerned with following guidlelines and not getting sued that
they lost sight of the Hyppocratic Oath promising NOT to do harm onto others.
The chemo DOES do harm onto others, kills people in itself but you will yet
find a doctor that will admit it!


Well, the tumors both on Dad's lung and liver did shrunk but as soon the
chemo stopped, the ones on his liver started to grow again. Of course, the
chemo does work for a certain number of people, but nothing holds a promise
for small cell lung cancer and presently, the chances of survival past 2 years
is a dream for MOST of its victims. All the while my father was receiving
chemo,
the cancer cells had not stopped moving through the spinal column to the
brain where it metastasized and caused permanent brain damage within 10
days after the chemo had stopped. Now the monster-oncologist wants to do
a spinal tap. He explained to me the logic is that if the spinal fluid shows
cancer cells there is no use for further chemo or ANY treatment because it
doesn't respond at that stage so they would pronounce him a hospice
candidate. So this is where we are now! And you know what the asswip_
onc will ultimately say if I sue him and the system??//....they'll all say
that I
had to let my anger of loss out on someone so it had to be them. YES!
But with reason! There is really NOTHING out there, within FDA approval
that can retard the growth of this cancer for long...it mutates and it has
numerous
escape routes through proteins, antigens and factors in the various human
cells that make it hard to stop. Yet, if there is a discovery for us out
there, the
FDA and all the pockets of anticipated donation-recipients would empty if
one would be let out of the bag. We are living in a bought society.


We had asked the monster to put Dad on Gleevec which also has some
record that it responds to at least 70% of small cell lung cancers, but he did
not do this with the excuse that it would not work (no clinical trials on
it) and
that it would do harm. I ask you...WHAT HARM is worse than losing him
anyway???


I tell you, this whole treatment thing for small cell lung cancer is a
complete hoax. Chemotherapies consist of carcinogenic substances.
I advise you to take Leonard's advice and waste no time to multiple
alternative treatments.


Now, 8 months later after diagnoses, after a long nightmare, we are awaiting
for our father to pass. In fact, I pray for this because I can no longer
bare to
see this once strong, full-of-life, intelligent man suffer and waste his
dignity.


I remain purely disgusted with humanity


Litsa
