Hello All,
Sorry I have not been around.
My sister-in-law lost her battle with BC. She chose to live her last days at home. We were visiting her regularly. Then, of course all all else that went after her passing.
She chose a holistic approach rather than chemo. The cancer spread and she went to CA from NY for 5 weeks against Sloan Kettering's advise. In CA was a cancer center that promised to freeze the cancer cells. For $150,000. When she arrived she was lacking iron and protein and they gave her blood transfusions and eggs, chicken and vegetables. . It didn't work. She had one operation. The husband (it's my husband's sister), said she was worst after the surgery and did not know what went on in the operating room (freezing the cells attempt).
After 5 weeks of accomplishing nothing, her husband brought her back to NY.
By the time she gave into chemo. it was too late. If she received it, or didn't she would pass. Her immune system was too weak.
Chemo. is a poison, but many doctors are against a holistic approach.
I mentioned this to one of my doctors. He told me Steve Jobs started with a holistic approach and gave into chemo., but like my sister in law, it was too late.
Another doctor thinks the holistic approach to cancer is a scam. Yet, they continue to exist.
I'm not against a good diet nutritious , without white refined sugar. But, the diet she was on consisted of 1 scoop of whey protein and vegetable roots and vitamin supplements. When she first started the diet, surprisingly the levels went down. IMO, it gave her false hope. As it spread, she remained on the extremely strict diet. The nutritionist was very expensive and also recommended her to the holistic cancer center.
What's your take on a holistic approach and chemo?
