See? Maybe those hairs will actually grow back after all; you just have to stay patient!!! 🙂👏

That really is wonderful news.
I honestly wouldn't want to have to wear a wig. 😢

Hey everyone,

I have a question, and honestly, I’m at my wit's end with who to ask. About 3 or 4 weeks ago, my dad’s lymph nodes in his neck suddenly started swelling up. He had a full blood panel done and everything came back normal, but then his doctor sent him for a neck ultrasound. They found several enlarged nodes—about 2 cm each—on both sides of his neck and in his armpit. His doctor immediately referred him for a biopsy at a specialized oncology clinic, and now we're stuck waiting ten long days for the results. To make matters worse, two more nodes just popped up on the back of his neck, feeling like huge lumps. I'm terrified of the worst-case scenario. My dad has never been sick and he's never even touched a cigarette, but reading all these horror stories online is keeping me wide awake at night. Does anyone know what could cause lymph nodes in the neck and armpit to swell up like this?

Rachel Cruz9, please take a look at this page. I believe you might find the answer to your question there. http://www.topvita.info/clanak.asp?id=162 If it doesn't load on your first attempt, don't give up. It usually opens after a few tries. All the best.

mistyridge5 said:Look, Susan Diaz91, that whole thing with RI Hospital really threw me—they called us way before everything actually kicked off, and once we had a date, the nurse gave us a ring at home a day or two prior just to confirm. 🤷

Give them a call and check. Honestly, my experience with RI Hospital has been much better than the one in OS. 🙄
Hope you can get it sorted out. 👍
:

Even after Easter passed, we still haven't heard anything. I'm not calling them—not out of principle, anyway. I'm just wondering when they actually intend to reach out. My mom is getting treated abroad regardless; we're paying for her chemotherapy and hospitalization privately... I'd love to know how long one is expected to wait when dealing with advanced lung cancer and metastasis to the Th1 vertebra. 😢

Dear Rachel Cruz9, — swollen lymph nodes are usually just what happens when an infection hits and all the lymphocytes rush in to help out. But, you know, painless swelling can also be a sign of lymphoma, where the cells basically mimic an infection just to stay alive (that’s exactly how my Hodgkin's behaves, for instance). Still, without a puncture or other specific tests, nobody on this forum—or any doctor out there—can give you a definitive diagnosis. My advice? Try not to overthink it too much. If things aren't feeling quite right, maybe just take some Praksiten; otherwise, you'll drive yourself crazy. A puncture, followed by a biopsy if the doctors decide it's necessary, is truly the ONLY way to know for sure what's going on.

mistyridge5 — I'm wishing you so much luck, and thank you for the advice. Honestly, I can't even imagine trying to navigate all of this without the info we find online, especially when our own doctors tend to dole out information in such tiny drops.

Susan Diaz91 — - how absolutely terrifying!

EVERYONE — does anyone know if they use central catheters (like a PICC line) here in the States for administering chemo and drawing blood, instead of getting poked in the veins constantly? Also, what about Nupogen (G-CSF)? Does anyone have experience with it—when did you use it, how was the process, and was it something you requested or something the doctor recommended?

Hi everyone. I’m glad I stumbled upon this thread, because my life turned upside down in an instant, and I wanted to share this with others navigating similar fates. Seven months ago, my three-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To this day, I honestly don't know how I stayed conscious when they delivered that catastrophic news. Since then, my child and I have been confined to a small room at Vinogradska Hospital, isolated from the rest of the world. She started chemotherapy last October. Thank God she’s actually handling it quite well. In these seven months, she’s only vomited twice, and even then, it wasn't caused by the treatment. We had some minor issues with the pills, but we adjusted after a while. Her biggest struggle was really the isolation—the fact that no one, not even her dad, could enter the room; they could only wave through the glass on the door. I managed to explain why it had to be that way, and eventually, she accepted it. I have a younger daughter who was only a year old back then, and now she’s a little girl who can walk and talk. Dorotea hasn't seen her in seven months because young children aren't allowed visits in the ward, and I've only been able to see her a few times during this entire period. She calls me constantly; I miss her and my husband more than words can say. We’ve been hit by a massive tragedy, but somehow we’ve pulled through together, and we're stronger for it. We are finally counting down the days until we can leave. Dorotea has her final session for the first part of her third cycle this Friday, and then we should finally be able to head home. There’s a six-week break between the first and second parts, so I’m truly hoping we can go home... It is long overdue.

Seven months ago, my three-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To be honest, I still don't know how I stayed upright when they dropped that bombshell on us. Since that day, my child and I have been essentially trapped in a tiny room at Vinogradska Hospital, completely cut off from the rest of the world. She started chemotherapy last October. Thank God, she’s actually handling it incredibly well. In all these seven months, she’s only thrown up twice, and neither time was even caused by the treatment. We had some minor issues adjusting to the pills, but we got used to that after a while.

I know how brutal this is, but hang in there just a little longer. You're going to pull through. Childhood leukemia responds so well to treatment. Soon enough, you'll all be back together, looking back on this nightmare as just a dark chapter that's finally closed.

My mother would probably comment something like, "It is such an injustice to see a sick adult, but what did these little sick children ever do to deserve this?"

I am so deeply sorry you are experiencing such an injustice; my eyes welled up just thinking about everything you are going through... Please, continue to be brave and may everything proceed as smoothly as possible. Keep fighting, and keep pushing forward. I truly hope you are released from the hospital as planned, so you can get some much-needed rest and move forward with strength... I sincerely hope so...👍

Hello everyone!

I just caught up on the posts now that I've finally hopped back online... it really warms my heart to see all the positive vibes you've sent my way.

Things are moving along here; Mom has recovered quite a bit from her first round and is getting ready for the next chemo session in two weeks. She decided to shave it all off yesterday so she wouldn't have hair everywhere once it started falling out, so today we're in Washington, D.C. picking out a new look (maybe even two🙂).. she isn't a fan of the style she rocked after the first round of chemo anymore. Now she can actually choose whatever she wants!

So, we just keep moving forward... the fight continues..

Wishing you all plenty of strength to weather your own storms through sheer willpower!

Taylor Morgan4 - oh man. 🙂 A nurse over at the hematology department was just telling me the other day that she finds it easier to cope if she tells herself everything happens for a reason. Honestly, what kind of "reason" could there possibly be for getting a malignant illness? Especially when it involves a child... it's hard to wrap your head around. But hey, like everyone says, those little ones are incredibly resilient. Modern medicine is doing such incredible work with these things nowadays, so you just have to stay brave and keep pushing forward.

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR EVERYONE - in the US, Zofran costs about 35 dollars which is nearly half of what we pay here. 👍

While that may be true, there is undeniably less waiting, the approach feels far more professional, and certain medications can be up to half the price—not to mention one specific example I know where a hospital day here actually costs more than a hospice stay in Italy (comparing an American patient in the US to an American patient in Italy, naturally, since we foreigners always get hit with those stinging prices)... and sometimes, it isn't even about who you know, but rather the level of professionalism involved...👍

Megan Chase63 said:>>I'm dealing with a similar situation myself—my mom was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer with metastasis everywhere. The doctors basically said surgery or treatment wasn't even worth it, so we went out and bought this herbal blend from a phytotherapist in Karlovac (he uses 180 different types of herbs!) who insists his tea will heal her and that we should ditch conventional medicine entirely. But after getting the tea, the doctors actually decided to go ahead with surgery, and tomorrow (20 days post-op), she starts her first round of chemo. She’s been taking the teas since the surgery, and now we’re stuck—do we keep going with them alongside the chemo, or are we risking making things worse because of potential contraindications? We asked the herbalist, and he said there's absolutely no issue and she can drink it all she wants while doing chemo, but then he added that if we asked doctors, they’d call us crazy because they don't recognize anything outside of mainstream medicine. So now we're lost on what to do... has anyone else tried the herbal treatments from the phytotherapist Jaramaz Branko in Karlovac?

I was actually just looking through an online list of herbalists from Karlovac and stumbled upon this forum by total accident!

I really hope your mom is feeling a bit better in the meantime and that she makes a full recovery very soon. Fingers crossed!

About a year ago, I heard about this specific herbalist, and honestly, everyone I know who consulted him has been super happy with the results so far.
I’ll give you three examples—thank God they aren't related to cancer, but they were definitely serious health issues.

In the first case—which was a bit more minor—it involved a close friend of my uncle who had incredibly high cholesterol. The doctors kept prescribing him all sorts of meds and putting him on strict diets. He followed everything to a T, but his cholesterol just kept climbing. Then, I don't even know how he heard, but he found out about this herbalist in Karlovac and went to see him. He got this specific tea he had to drink, along with some little lifestyle tips he had to follow.
His cholesterol dropped incredibly fast—like, scary fast.

Second case—a friend of my parents had heart issues about a year or so ago. Even in America, the doctors did everything humanly possible, but they weren't seeing much progress. The guy was feeling absolutely terrible. After months of bouncing around hospitals and trying every therapy under the sun, he decided to try the herbalist. Every time I ask my parents how their neighbor is doing, they always say the same thing: "It's like he was never even sick!"
He didn't tell the doctors, obviously, that he was using the teas, but every time he goes in for a check-up and they prescribe his "regular" meds, the doctors act totally shocked at how great he looks and feels.

The third case is my aunt, who deals with a type of schizophrenia. Ever since I can remember, it’s been a constant struggle—God forbid, right? The last few years have been the worst. I lost track of how many times she ended up in the hospital for one thing or another. The pills she gets always seem to help for a tiny bit, but then her condition just crashes again. Plus, the side effects from the medication made her look awful—she was constantly swollen and just looked so poorly.
She’s also been using those teas for maybe a year now. Since I don't live in the same city, I haven't seen her lately, but my folks tell me she’s never looked better and seems way more "normal" (if that doesn't sound rude, haha).
If I remember correctly, she has to take breaks from them after a certain amount of time—since it involves mental health and all that. Of course, once she stops, things decline really quickly. The dosage is always changing, too—she calls the herbalist regularly to let him know how she's doing, and then he tells her whether to dial it up or down.

So, yeah, that’s my "experience" with it.
I sure hope I never need any of this for anything, especially not for something serious, but if heaven forbid it ever came to that, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I’d run straight to him.

Amanda Grant56 said:I was just browsing an online list regarding that herbalist from Karlovac when I stumbled upon this forum by accident.

I first heard about this herbalist about a year ago, and everyone who has sought their advice since then has been genuinely satisfied with the results.
I'll lay out three cases for you. Thank God they aren't related to carcinoma, but they involve illnesses that are just as much not to be trifled with.

In the most extreme case, we’re talking about a close friend of my uncle who was struggling with incredibly high cholesterol. The doctors threw everything at him—piles of prescriptions, strict dietary regimens, you name it. He played by all the rules, followed every instruction to the letter, but his levels just kept climbing higher and higher. Then, out of nowhere, he heard about this herbalist based out of Karlovac and decided to make the trip. He ended up getting a specific tea he had to drink, along with some minor lifestyle adjustments he needed to stick to.
My cholesterol levels have absolutely plummeted—and I mean, incredibly fast.

Here’s another one for you. A friend of my parents went through a massive heart issue about a year or a year and a half ago. Even in this case, the doctors over in Austria threw everything they had at him—they ran every test and tried every procedure under the sun. Honestly? It didn't yield much of anything. He was feeling absolutely terrible from the Covik. After months of bouncing between hospital wards and enduring endless rounds of therapy, he finally decided to just walk away from the clinical stuff and go see a herbalist instead. Now, every single time I ask my mom or dad how he's doing, I get the exact same response: "You'd never even know anything ever happened to him."
Of course, he never mentioned he was using those herbal teas. But every single time he shows up for an appointment and they prescribe their standard "medication," the doctors look absolutely stunned by how great he actually looks.

The third case involves my aunt, who struggles with some form of schizophrenia. Ever since I can remember, it’s been a total nightmare—God forbid. The last few years have been the absolute worst. I honestly lost track of how many times she’s been hospitalized, bouncing from one clinic to another. Every time they put her on medication, things seem to stabilize for a tiny window of time, but then the whole situation just spirals downward again. On top of that, the side effects from those pills were brutal; she looked terrible, completely swollen and bloated all over.
She’s probably been using those teas for about a year now. Since I don't live in the same city, I haven't had the chance to see her in person yet. But my folks tell me she hasn't looked better or acted more "normal" since they've known her. (Maybe that sounds a bit harsh, but you know how it is.)
If I'm not mistaken, she eventually has to take a break—I mean, we're talking about mental health here. But obviously, once she stops, things go downhill fast. The dosage is always a moving target, too; she’s constantly calling up her herbalist to check in, and he's the one telling her whether to scale it back or ramp it up.

So, that’s my experience.
I sincerely hope I never have to rely on any of this, especially not for something serious, but if heaven forbid I ever found myself in that position, I wouldn't spend a single second overthinking it. I’d just walk away immediately.

Look, can you do me a favor? Reach out to your friends and family and ask them to grab copies of those medical histories. Once you have them, just shoot everything over to my email address. ivana@zanovidan.hr Look, within our Association, we’re actually building a database of "vetted" alternative practitioners just so people don't drown in this absolute sea of misinformation. Stories like yours are everywhere—they're practically the bread and butter for every amateur herbalist, bioenergy healer, and self-proclaimed alternative "doctor" out there. For the vast majority of them, history has already proven they're nothing more than charlatans.

Look, I have to drive this point home: you can't treat every illness with the same logic because different diseases carry entirely different levels of complexity and indication. Cancer isn't just some minor ailment; it is an incredibly complex beast that is notoriously difficult to combat. If you decide to abandon conventional medical treatment, you are essentially inviting a fatal outcome. It is a galloping disease—it moves with such aggressive speed that it becomes practically impossible to bolster your immune system or overhaul your lifestyle and circumstances fast enough to get ahead of it.

Angela Wright said:Could you please ask your friends and family members to photocopy their medical histories and send them over to my email at ivana@zanovidan.hr? You see, our Association is compiling a database of "verified" alternative practitioners to help people navigate this overwhelming sea of information. Stories like yours are everywhere, surfacing behind every herbalist, bioenergy healer, or similar alternative "doctor," most of whom have been proven to be nothing more than charlatans...

However, I feel compelled to emphasize that various illnesses present themselves differently based on their specific type and complexity. Cancer is an incredibly intricate disease that is notoriously difficult to manage, and abandoning conventional treatment often leads to a fatal outcome, given how rapidly the disease progresses; when it moves at such a gallop, it becomes nearly impossible to bolster the immune system or overhaul one's lifestyle and environment in time...

I’ve been keeping an eye on Future TV, and perhaps those who watched the segment on explosives (I believe it was this past Saturday) more closely can correct me if I'm wrong regarding the discussion on alternative versus scientific approaches. An oncologist mentioned a sobering fact: unfortunately, there are no revolutionary methods that will lead to a total cure for everyone, but modern medicine—unlike alternative therapies—has been proven to potentially extend life by five or six months. They brought up the famous case of Charlie, who, let us remember, was no ordinary man from the street, but someone widely loved, which surely meant he was treated with much more care in the hospital; yet, in the end, he placed his faith in some herbalist who promised a cure within two months. But as his condition deteriorated over those two months, modern medical interventions were no longer able to intervene, and he passed away shortly thereafter...

What am I trying to get at? It seems to me that heart conditions, such as heart attacks, or diseases like diabetes, simply cannot be compared to a disease like cancer. If any of you have ever seen a microscopic image of cancer cells, you would see just how destructive this disease truly is, and personally, I find it hard to believe that any tea could possibly influence cellular regeneration or halt the progression of destruction, at least not at the speed required to compete with actual medication...

Nancy Hernandez43, Amanda Grant56 mentioned how doctors had no solutions for the people she brought up, even after they went through numerous therapies prescribed by them. What does that tell you? It shows they aren't all-knowing. Even when they claim they can't help, there is always enough time left to try something else. There is nothing to lose once they have already said "it's impossible." Have you looked at other forums? One of those that discusses herbal treatments is this one: http://www.svetbiljaka.com/Forums/vi...c/start=0.html. If you have two hours and the will to do so, dedicate yourself to reading it. You will find both positive and negative results regarding herbal therapies, which simply proves there is no universal cure. Every person is a unique story, and everyone requires a specific approach. If a medicine is meant to work for someone, it should show effects within 20 to 30 days. If it doesn't work by then, it won't work even after a year.
I hope that slyseal28 called old man Jovo. If she didn't, she is contradicting herself; she was looking for proof that someone was healed using his drops, yet he certainly has that evidence right there. The very people who were ill and found relief through his drops would have visited him and left documentation regarding their illness and recovery.
The difference between conventional and alternative treatment methods is this: if they actually work, there is a much higher chance the disease will return if treated with conventional medicine rather than alternative ways (assuming, of course, that the therapies "succeeded").

Drew Allen said:Nancy Hernandez43Amanda Grant56 mentioned how doctors claimed they had no solutions left for those individuals, despite the fact that they had already cycled through countless therapies prescribed by them... What does that tell you? It suggests that even medical professionals aren't omniscient, and even when they declare that they can no longer help, there is always enough time remaining to try something else. There truly is nothing left to lose once they have already said "it can't be done." Have you looked at other forums? This particular one is one of those that focuses on herbal treatments... http://www.svetbiljaka.com/Forums/vi...c/start=0.html If you can find two hours of free time and have the mental energy to spare, I suggest you sit down and read this... It’s worth the effort. You will find plenty of conflicting reports regarding herbal therapies—some people swear by them while others see absolutely nothing—which only serves to prove that there is no such thing as a universal cure. Every single person is a unique story, and every individual requires a treatment plan tailored specifically to their own biology... If a remedy is truly meant to work for a particular person, they should start seeing results within twenty to thirty days. However, if it isn't going to work, it won't start working after a year either...
I certainly hope that it is... fajterica I reached out to Jova because, frankly, if he isn't, she’s just being contradictory... She was demanding proof that someone actually recovered using his drops, but he naturally keeps that documentation right on hand, since those very individuals who were once ill came to him personally to provide records of both their diagnosis and their recovery...
The fundamental distinction between conventional and alternative treatment modalities lies in this specific nuance: if the intervention actually succeeds, there appears to be a significantly higher probability of the disease returning when one relies on conventional medicine rather than an alternative approach... though, naturally, I am speaking only in those instances where the therapies are deemed "successful."

I am fully aware of all these nuances, and I certainly don't hold the rigid belief that doctors are the sole possessors of correct solutions... In fact, regarding the specific conditions Mary mentioned, it is entirely possible that alternative approaches could provide significant relief. To be perfectly clear, I personally carry a risk factor for developing diabetes, so I am clinging to seaweed supplements like Fucus—along with plenty of cinnamon, pineapple, and salmon, not to mention anything else worth noting—with the desperation of a drowning man, simply because I have read so much about them... I can only sincerely hope they prove effective before my next check-up, so that I might avoid becoming a patient myself...

Unfortunately, I simply don't have two hours to sit here and read through all these alternatives right now, though I’ll certainly set them aside for when I actually need to dive deeper into the specifics... Thanks for the link.

Everyone bases their judgment on their own personal experiences... As for my own perspective regarding cancer, my views are tied exclusively to modern medical methods, because when I asked the doctor what would happen if a mother were unable to undergo the specific protocol she had been following up until that point—the answer was that... There is always a way forward, and one simply never gives up... I am certainly no ignoramus, and please rest assured that if a universal solution actually existed, we wouldn't be here trading personal anecdotes; we would simply be listing endless praises for that single, miraculous cure... As far as my own knowledge is concerned—which is all that matters—I know one thing for certain: my mother is alive today, and she will continue her heroic fight, solely because she entrusted herself to modern medical methods without any attempts to mix alternative therapies with conventional science. To remind everyone, we are talking about a woman who was diagnosed with advanced stage ovarian cancer (IIIC) and was initially met with grim prognoses and shoulders being slumped at her... given they told her she might only have six months left. No matter how difficult or stressful it became, regardless of how poorly she looked during the process, or how unpredictable this disease remains from one day to the next... over these last two years, she has proven to herself that she can fight, that she can live life to the fullest, and that she can place her absolute trust in medicine...

Believe me when I say I am profoundly grateful for every single day that I get to hear her voice; truly, that is my only priority—to ensure she remains with us for as long as possible... I also find myself feeling an immense sense of joy for every individual who has managed to triumph in their struggle against any heavy illness, regardless of the path they chose to take. So... we simply press on...

Can anyone here who (unfortunately) has experience dealing with cancer tell me a bit about Breussov's method—specifically that 42-day fasting protocol?

I’ve heard the core idea behind this approach is basically starving both yourself and the cancer cells at the same time, potentially forcing the carcinoma to retreat.

On the flip side, I keep hearing from so many people that you really need to bolster your immune system during these battles, which obviously requires consistent nutrition and fluids. To me, those two philosophies seem to be in total opposition!

To give some context, a relative of mine passed away from cancer after trying this method, though it didn't work out. Mind you, he wasn't strictly following all the instructions, so that might have played a role in the outcome.

slyseal28 isn't being contradictory. As soon as I get my hands on any evidence regarding whether this works or not, I’ll publish it—not just here on the forum, but on national TV as well.
