Just so you know, I was actually in the exact same boat as everyone here, and I managed to go from being seriously ill to completely healthy in just three months.
Nancy Hernandez43 said:I called my mom tonight just to check in. She’s been such an incredible support to me lately, and I’m doing the same for her. She mentioned they ordered some Noni juice for Grandma and she’s thinking about getting some for herself too. The thing is, neither of us actually knows ANYTHING about Noni juice!
Since she’s fighting cancer so successfully right now, I don't see any reason why she shouldn't try it. What do you guys know about Noni juice? How does it work? When is it most effective? Thanks for the input, though I'm pretty sure there's probably been stuff written about it already!

slymoose4 said:B17, Laetril, or amygdalin—it’s all just one complex molecule made up of two glucose molecules, a molecule of benzaldehyde, and a molecule of cyanide.
Because certain enzymes exist only within tumor cells and not in healthy ones, Laetril breaks down into its component molecules, causing those cancer cells to lose the fight. The FDA famously banned Laetril as a medical treatment, so it seems like you can only find doctors still practicing this in Mexico. While B17 has helped plenty of patients, it appears much more effective when administered intravenously rather than orally. You also have the famous Hun people in northern Pakistan, whose diet is loaded with Laetril, yet they don't suffer from cancer.
Even if this supplement actually works, you shouldn't be touching it without an experienced doctor overseeing the whole process. We need specialists who truly understand how this stuff functions. The problem? Those kinds of doctors are becoming harder to find every single day.
quietwalker50 said:Nothing is lost; there's still a fight left. My mother had surgery back in 1998 for stage four ovarian cancer and a uterine tumor. After the operation, she underwent chemo, and for three or four years, she was doing fine. Her markers were normal, but starting in 2002, they began to climb steadily. No one could figure out why they were rising. Instead of jumping straight to more chemo or radiation, her doctor wanted to find the underlying cause first. In December, she went in for surgery, where they had to remove her right kidney, and they found a massive tumor in her large intestine that couldn't be removed. It caused a total obstruction, which is why she ended up with a stoma. She also has metastases in the liver and small intestine—carcinosis peritonei. The surgeon didn't tell her the full truth, so we've been keeping it from her. We actually used Photoshop to edit her discharge papers, removing the parts that didn't fit just so she wouldn't realize how dire her condition really is. Her main struggle right now is the stoma and her desperate wish to go back to how things were before. For now, she’s okay; she doesn't look nearly as bad as she actually feels. She stays positive, thinking she's cancer-free. I just hope she can hold on for a long time if she remains unaware of the metastases. The surgeon didn't recommend further chemotherapy, but she wants to check her markers at the oncology clinic. Does anyone know what the effects of taking B17 are on malignant cells as an alternative treatment? Apparently, B17 is most concentrated in apricot seeds.
and has anyone tried treating cancer this way?
The fight goes on.

I started typing out a reply and then my computer just died on me!!!
So I'll keep this brief.
What can I even say? I’m still here, checking in whenever I get a chance. I spend most of my time googling, trying to find some miracle story about someone who actually beat this or extended their life... But nothing.
We don't mention the tumor around her. She won't allow it. She insists it isn't there... she's in denial.
Mom is losing weight rapidly, even though her appetite is through the roof. She also gets terrible back pain, mostly at night, which is typical for pancreatic cancer. (She thinks it's just her scoliosis acting up, so we let her believe that.)
Every so often, she gets some swelling around the base of her nose and these tiny dark bumps all over. Could that be from metastasis?
It's been nearly five months since the diagnosis. They told us we had two to five months left... She's still taking B17, reishi, and noni.
And me? I’m just stuck in this state of disbelief, perpetually sad and physically exhausted.
I'm trying to brace myself for what's coming—the increased pain and the moment she finally realizes the pain is from the tumor and that she's dying. I'm terrified she might give up entirely because of how she used to view people in her position... why suffer, right?
So, that's where I am... just hanging in there...
Wishing you all the best
and hope

I knew this day was coming, but the disbelief isn't going away anytime soon.
I spent Last Night crying my eyes out, and all I can hear echoing in my head is my Grandfather's wail: "Reach out your hand, honey!!"
I am so incredibly attached to him. There is no way—just like Melissa Kim45 said—that I could ever call him my late Grandpa. He’s still so present; I can still see him laughing, eating my soup, and telling me, "Grandpa loves you." Most of my childhood memories revolve around him. He was the one bright spot in a pretty dark upbringing, which is saying a lot. For the year following his diagnosis, we had this little ritual where we’d "test" the day by having him sing his favorite song. We’d rate how good the day was based on how strong his voice sounded. We’d get so excited whenever he sang at full volume. It was our secret code, our way of gauging everything.
I feel terrible burdenng you all with this; it feels pathetically heavy, but I just need to vent like this to breathe. I have this desperate urge to relive every single memory of him—his blunders, his little quirks. I want to etch his movements, the way his eyes used to crinkle when he laughed, the way he’d stroke my hair... I need to let it all pour out of me, because maybe then it will be easier. Maybe then I’ll go numb and finally be quiet. But I can't talk about this with my own family; it's just too hard for everyone right now.
Thanks again for the selfless support. I’ll keep coming back here because I can't break this routine; I can't just close the Tab in Firefox that leads to this thread. I lost this battle, but the experience left something massive behind. If anyone needs advice regarding small cell lung cancer or anything that might ease the struggle, please reach out. It would be my pleasure to help if I can.
Stay strong!!!
Nancy Hernandez43 said:Everyone handles struggles differently. My dad did the same thing—just let himself go and left everything to Mom. His main priority was making sure she had everything she needed at every single moment... he’d even go hungry just to ensure she was taken care of. After six months of 24/7 caregiving, his health finally gave out three days ago. I honestly can't wrap my head around why this is all happening.
When people ask how I managed to fight through my mom's battle—I can tell you, it was through tears. Between being blindsided by issues at college and dealing with endless drama from a hundred different directions, I was right on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Every time I felt it coming on, I just took a deep breath and told myself I was stronger than this and that it wouldn't break me...
Hang in there and please, look after your own health!
Megan Lewis said:Unfortunately, my dad passed away from this. It started with jaundice, followed by surgery, then palliative care. The prognosis was grim since he had metastases in his liver, pelvis, and kidneys. He was discharged much like your mom was—they didn't even send him to an oncologist; I actually took his test results to the specialist myself just to get him started on treatment. Sadly, the jaundice didn't clear up enough, so he had to undergo radiation, which is absolutely brutal when it's in the abdominal area. I truly believe if his liver enzymes had been different, he might have been able to start chemo immediately, which could have changed everything. They prescribed Gemzar for his chemo, which is supposedly easier to handle than other drugs.
Basically, he went through 12 radiation sessions, which he struggled to endure, and he passed away just two months after the diagnosis.
I don't want to scare you—I know the doctors have already told you how heavy this diagnosis is—but if I were in your shoes, I would fight. Go see an oncologist, look into alternative options, arm yourself with patience, and just go for it. Based on what you wrote, the fact that there are no metastases makes this a slightly more favorable situation, and it’s definitely worth getting a second opinion. Also, there are two types of this malignancy: one progresses rapidly, while the other is slower. Maybe your mom has the slower type? To offer some comfort, a friend's father lived for four years with this diagnosis without major issues.
Regarding diet, the best thing is to follow a liver-friendly diet to help the jaundice clear as quickly as possible. That means strictly white meat, nothing with peas or anything cooked with onions, day-old white bread, cooked fruit, moderate salt, no fried foods—everything should be lean. Also, try some tea or a supplement to detox the system. Any dairy used must be low-fat.
You have to stay strong. Don't let your mom lose heart; that's the first requirement for successful treatment. You simply have to maintain hope.
Carol Ramirez said:We buried my Grandfather today. He was like a second father to me, my absolute rock.
I honestly don't know how to move forward. Everywhere I look, there’s just a reminder of everything we went through—his pill bottles, all the meals I used to prep for him, the prescriptions, the lab results, his glasses. If I could, I’d just run away to Mars.
