Treating lymphoma and melanoma?

My dad has been diagnoised with both, what next? I was just wondering if anyone else had gone through this?

Treating lymphoma and melanoma?
Hi,





Most lymphoma/melanoma are addresses using radio or chemo therapy or both. Success rate depends on the stage of cancer, and the response of the individual to the regimen. The problem with this approach is that after the chemo/radio, the patient usually gets the undesirable effects associated wih it, directly weakening the immune system and the individual in the long term.





You need to have some kind of supplementation or nutritional intervention that will help him go over any chemo or radio. Try incorporating polysacchrides for him so that he can go over his treatment lighter than the usual, diverting the chemo and drugs to the target area. A large part of patients undergoing chemo/radio die from the treatment itsef rather than the cancer because their healthy cells (blood cells) and the rest of the immune system are also down during this time. The result - weaker body and psychological profile.





If you dad is open to alternative medicine coupled with his existing regimen (now called integrative medicine), you can achieve better results and higher survivability! Some of our patients even use only polysaccharides and nothing else and still successful in getting negative cancer! Polysaccharides from the goji berry (juice in form) is a great source of natural polysaccharides that can address and reinforce the immne system. Most of our patients take 120ml three times a day and get very good results! Usually the cancer is negative after 6 to 10 months. This of course varies from one individual to another. After being cancer free, a maintenance of 60ml three times daily is recommended.





Hope this info could help. Now there is life after cancer.





God bless!

Reply:To be honest, a lot depends on what stage the melanoma is at and if the lymphoma is Hodgkins or non-Hodgkins. I do know of some people have been through lymphoma with differing treatments but none that have been through both. Cancer is such an individual that not everyone will respond the same way. It never hurts to get more information or others experiences, just don't hold them to be absolute truths. If you haven't already, try and accompany your dad to his next appointment and ask your questions. It also helps to write things down or bring a tape recorder (with the doc's permission) so you can refer back later as it is easy to forget what is said.





Good luck to you and your dad.
Reply:Wow, I never heard of anyone having both at the same time. I am a melanoma surviver. I had the lesion about 14 years ago. A dermatologist cut it off of me and sent me to an oncologist. The guy he sent me to was a clinical oncologist. Fortunately, I have a close friend who is a General Surgeon and Surgical Oncologist. The only problem is that he lives in another country. He recommended a Dr. at the well known and respected Roswell Park Hospital in Buffalo, NY.


I went there and the Dr. suggested a wide excision and removal of the sentinal node. They inject blue dye around the site where the tumor was removed and then go in search of a blue lymph node. The idea being that this is the first place downstream so to speak where the cancer is likely to have spread. If the sentinal node has cancer, then they remove all the lymph nodes in that group. Fortunately, my sentinal node was benign. The wide excision was to capture any individual cells that might have migrated out through the tissue as opposed to the lymphatic system. The procedures supposedly raised my odds of living cancer free from about 90% to about 96%.


But because I have had one melanoma, that means that I am at a greater risk for another one. So, I get an exam once a year from head to toe, even where the sun doesn't shine.


There are different types of lymphoma, some the Dr.s have better results with than others. I have known several people with Hodgkin's disease and 1 that had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One of each of them died from the disease or from complications of the disease at any rate.


Success in treating cancer is always early detection. I hope that they found your father's cancers early.


Feel free to email me if you think I might be able to answer any questions.
Reply:I suggest you look up and do research on "resveratrol". M. D. Anderson Cancer Center has done ton of research. Have friend who was given three months and he stopped all chemo and just takes it and that was over two years ago. A good link is www.oldsouthwinery.com. they have links to all types of sites. Anderson is also doing research on tumeric and with good results.





This resveratrol is natural and in grapes, the root of the knotweed root (Chinese and Japanese studies) and many other plants. Research shows that it is able to stop most cancers. It helps and cells recognize the cancer cells and destroy them and also tells the cancer cells to go away, in a nut shell. Also use google and yahoo and put in "aggrawal resveratrol" and look for a 58 page report. This report lists all the cancers the stuff will heal and what mutatuions and pathways it will fix.





You can buy it at most good vitamin and nutritional shoppes. My friend swears by the muscadine type as he states it is the most powerful type. You may also want to look at the "trans-reversatrol" in the product.





How it works I do not know, but I know people that were given up on before and are ok today. It's like taking a vitamin. It does not hurt other cells as chemo and has other beneficial uses.





You don't hear about it because it doesn't cost $100,000 and the drug companies have not been able to patent it in a synthetic form yet. Hope all is well.
