New Information on a Treatment

I am hesitant to put the link to a blog about a treatment for cancer that I just learned about. Some will condemn it, others would laugh. But I'm starting it Saturday, along with my Oncologist's perscribed Ibrance. All I'll say for now is that God sent me into a situation that led to my being told about this treatment, along with getting proof of it's benefits, from a very trusted and knowledgable medical specialist. It has no side effects other than killing cancer. None. And if I get the results I anticipate, I will shout it from the rooftops!

I won’t laugh - what is it? You can private email me if you like. I’m searching for alternative treatment all the time x

Listen, let people laugh, condemn, whatever the they like, if it feels right for you just do it. It sounds like you've checked into it with side effects and stuff - Id always check the effects with the meds Im on etc and if that side of things proved ok Id do it. Ive just started reading Radical Remission and there's a chapter about listening to our intuition which makes a lot of sense. Go with your gut feeling. And of course share if you feel able to and keep us posted.

Good luck and take care x

Oh Barb I cant put it down. Its everything Ive thought about but couldnt articulate properly, right there in black and white. I draw the line at Shin though , sending love to his cancer every day, Im more in the 'Kill the buggers' camp lol but so far Im loving it. I've started (trying) meditation which I find extremely difficult because my mind is always so full and on the go but Im using the focus technique with a candle which really helps. I already have acupuncture but Im thinking about going to our local spiritualist church and looking into their healing. Im not sure if thats a step too far for me and dont believe for one minute on its own that would cure me but Im open to try anything that wont hurt me but may help 😄. Sorry, Ive gone off at a tangent lol.

How are you now? Have you done all 5 sessions? Hope youre not feeling too bad and the ginger helped your tummy. Xx

Hi there

Last session this morning...hurrah!!

I was much better yesterday...did a yoga class (well sort of!!) in the morning...was hubbys burthday so went out for lunch and I had a vegetarian risotto and ice cream..no wine though and I went riding with my daughter...quite a fast ride as well as the horses were lively

Knackered now though so I’ll have a lazy day today

Thanks for thinking of me

Oh glad its your last one today and sincerely hope it yields the results expected. Im sure it will. Also that you felt well enough to go out for lunch and even attempt a yoga class. Well done you 👏.

Talking of riding, Ive always fancied learning to ride and never did. Recently my friend asked if I fancied an adult class so Im finally going to do something Ive always wanted to. If nothing else this disease makes us seize the moment doesnt it 😊.

Take care and keep us posted. Xx

Do it!!!

Also if you’re an animal lover..horses are therapeutic...I know I’m biased but I have a friend who has a horse therapy business...her clients just spend time around her horse...grooming..leading about and often not riding if they have anxiety problems...it’s an amazing confidence giver

Barb xx

Mindysooty profile image
Mindysooty in reply toBarbteeth

I know. The thought of ambling through countryside on horseback appeals to me so much and just seems so....peaceful. Maybe Im romanticizing it but Id love to find out. And yes, even the leading, grooming etc is probably therapeutic. I must confess Im a bit nervous about the grooming and getting near their hind legs -maybe cos theyre so big but I really would love to try X

Barbteeth profile image
Barbteeth in reply toMindysooty

Don’t act nervous as they pick up on it...we had a big stallion on our yard years ago and just for a week or so

Everyone was wary of him and just carefully avoided doing much with him...my daughter aged 6 at the time just wandered into his stAble and started to brush him with a hard brush...he did nothing behaved like a lamb..because she didn’t know he was a stallion and was confident around him...they know!!!

thank you, Barb! I love horses and often forget about them. One of our favorite shows is Heartland, I just can't get enough of it! I love horses, their smell, their eyes, their heads rubbing against my shoulder ... and we have a place in the country that rents horses so my plan is to go once a month and enjoy the therapeutic effect these beautiful beasts have on my soul! How are you feeling? Is the ginger helping like it helped me? Hope this finds you well! God bless you and heal us all in Jesus name, amen! <3

Hi,

I am familiar with this protocol too and actually emailed the man who used this drug to cure his metastatic cancer. I believe it can work.

Yes. Please share your cure information. Thanks again Reenie

in reply toRbeth

Hi Reenie,

The drug is called fenbendazole. The original poster answered someone's question about it, so I feel I can share too. It's a dog dewormer that a vet recommended to Joe Tippens. He started taking it and it cured his metastatic cancer. I emailed him and told him about what I was taking (one of which is mebendazole, which is the human version). He has a blog, where you can learn more about what he has done. I might start taking it too if my current protocol doesn't work.

Sophie ❤

in reply toAndersl

You're welcome. I feel we should share when we come across different treatments, off-label drugs, supplements and other advice that can help us. I hope the fenbendazole works for you. It's also known as panacur c. I'm sticking with the mebendazole (human version) for now and then I may also try the fenbendazole later on. I'll see how things go.

Godbeforme profile image
Godbeforme in reply to

Yes, I read about him. I also read that he was taking keytruda along with it ... I think I will take fenbendazole if my treatment stops working. I take my ibrance 5 days and off 2 and I can tell you one thing about that is that my neutrophils have not been below 1500 and last week were up to 1800, and I haven't been overly tired at all either. I'm almost done with my second cycle. They have a study going with aforementioned alternative dosing, but the trial won't be over until August of this year, with results not out until next year. I take 100 mg. of ibrance and letrozole, plus calcium, multi vitamin and ginger capsules. I sure get tired of swallowing pills! love and healing for all! My onc was okay with it but said, for the record, he could only prescribe it 21 on 7 off as per pfizer's prescribing specifications. God bless and heal us all in Jesus name, amen! Romans 10:9-10

in reply toGodbeforme

Yes, that's right. He did mention the trial he was in when I was reading his blog. But I seem to recall he was the only one who had such dramatic results, so it would appear that the fenbendazole was responsible for the dramatic improvement and complete remission. Of course, it's not possible to say for sure. But it seems to be the fenbendazole that cured his cancer.

Godbeforme profile image
Godbeforme in reply to

yes, and if the day comes when I need to try something else that will be my first choice because of it not having any harmful side effects. I might not even wait ... but may take it with the rest of my pills. thanks for the info, I couldn't remember exactly how it all worked out for him. one thing I try to remember is how different we are, just like our fingerprints look similar to one another's, I think our whole body chemistry is unique, with some similarities but some uniqueness as well, and that's why some things work for some people and not for others, even though they have the same disease. more deep thoughts ... I have alot of them these days <grin>! God bless you and heal us all in Jesus name, amen!

in reply toGodbeforme

As time goes on I have come to understand that metastatic cancer is not the death sentence it once was. Many of us are able to live for a very long time post diagnosis. Some people have been cured completely. It isn't as rare as I used to think, as I have read of so many. There is Joe Tippens, whom we have discussed in this thread. There was Judy Perkins, who, like us, had metastatic breast cancer but was cured after she tried immunotherapy, and there are many others. So we should not give up hope of either a complete cure, either from the doctors, or through our own research, perseverance and efforts.

Godbeforme profile image
Godbeforme in reply to

amen! I heard on the news yesterday they have come up with a cure for HIV that will only require two shots ONE TIME instead of the poor souls having to take pills everyday. Glad for the people who are sick with that, but really? you have cured HIV only around since the 80's but still can't quite put your finger on a cancer cure? The answer lies in the fact that a cure is NOT profitable as the article I posted the other day suggested. Again, I am very happy for the people with HIV, although the treatment is still a few years down the road, they have solved it! It just really put things into perspective for me concerning the cancer INDUSTRY. Here's the article again. God bless you, Sophie! <3 thenhf.com/2019/05/06/a-can...

in reply toGodbeforme

Hi,

Oh wow! Really?! I didn't hear about the cure for HIV. That is such wonderful news. I hope it will come quickly for people who are suffering from that disease so that no one has to die from it anymore. I agree that cancer should also be curable for us all, not just for people who are diagnosed during the early stages.

When you look at cases of radical remission some of the things that the patients all have in common is the fact that many of them tried different treatments outside the box of conventional medicine. Some were cured in conjunction with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and so on, while others tried alternative therapies and medicine.

I want to carry on with my integrative approach and continue to add different things to my protocol. I will start taking aspirin (75mg) soon. I have been thinking about it for months and have consulted lots of doctors and a pharmacist. I always do tonnes of research and consult as many professionals as I can before I start anything new.

I agree that cancer is big business, so there isn't really much of a financial incentive to cure us. So that's why I don't trust my medical team 100%. Yes, I am sure that the doctors first got into medicine to help cure people. But the reality is that their hands are often tied. They will not cure me, so it is up to me to do all I can to get the best possible treatment for myself.

Hi I’m with NHS but went private for second opinion, was advised to take 75mg aspirin a day . I’ve not done COC yet but got appointment soon with homeopathic clinic. I do a fair bit of research ( I have to say discouraged by my NHS team!) but my private second opinion was pretty positive

I’m hormone positive with low volume bone mets. X

in reply toGlas0824

Hello,

I started taking 75mg aspirin today. I sought three opinions before I started taking it, not to mention all the medical research I did too. All the best with your homeopathic appointment. I don't just rely on my NHS team for everything. They have a role to play, but so do the other doctors I see privately.

I'm the same as you in terms of being hormone positive with low level bone metastases (I counted two small spots on my PET CT scan).

Glas0824 profile image
Glas0824 in reply to

My NHS won’t do a PET on me ( thinking it might be cost?) but rely on CT and bone

I had heard also about sending tumour sample to get tested privately to a place called CARIS molecular but NHS said wasn’t worth it. Have you heard of them?

in reply toGlas0824

The only reason a PET CT scan was ordered in May 2018 was because every time I had an MRI or CT scan it would flag up something else: my ovaries, womb, bones etc. So the doctors gave me a full MoT so to speak! I even had a full bone body scan.

I haven't heard of CARIS molecular. I wouldn't expect any support from your NHS team. Mine are dismissive of anything that is not conventional. Whenever they do that I remind myself that their intention is to put a plaster over the problem. They will not cure me. That's not me being cynical, just realistic. That's why I'm following an integrative approach.

Survivornow in reply toGlas0824

I would insist on a PET scan

in reply toSurvivornow

Unfortunately, you can't insist on a PET CT scan on the NHS. That's down to the oncologists to decide that. I asked for a second PET CT scan recently and was told it would not be ordered unless the CT scan results were not clear. My oncologist also mumbled about the cost, so I know that was a factor too! I only had one because there were so many question marks over what exactly was wrong with me when I was going through the diagnostic stage last year. But they are not routinely offered to everyone.

Hi Marianne,

I mentioned it above. It's a dog dewormer called fenbendazole. The human version, which I take, is mebendazole. But there is evidence that the other variety can work at killing cancer cells too.

in reply toGodbeforme

I see what you mean. It's illegal in the UK to practice without a licence and insurance too. Even if you're a retired doctor you have to be very careful. You can advise someone to seek additional help and support, but you cannot diagnosis or treat someone without insurance.

I’m almost 100% sure that the COC prescribed this or similar

Barb xx

in reply toBarbteeth

It's a similar drug, Barb. Fenbendazole is intended as a dog dewormer. Mebendazole is licensed for human use. That's the one I take as part of the COC protocol. But if it can also help with curing cancer in people then that can only mean good things! I might add it in future.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for sharing your insight into PET CT scans. It's an unpleasant test, so it's probably just as well I don't have one every three months. You're right, they do light everything up and cause unnecessary concern. My womb and ovaries had to be investigated, so I had a pelvic ultrasound, followed by an endometrial biopsy which didn't gather enough cells for analysis. So then I had a hysteroscopy. It turned out to be uterine fibroids and a cyst on my right ovary, nothing cancerous. But I was worried the cancer had spread to these organs and I was preparing myself for a hysterectomy.

Sophie

Survivornow profile image
Survivornow in reply to

It's true that the PET scan can show up things that cause concerns when they are false. My first one showed up a questionable mass on my right lung. Turns out it's scar tissue from repeated pneumonia infections. I've learned to take each test result with a grain of salt! The main reason we do the 3 month check ups are because they are watching to see if the cancer has spread from my chest. So far, no spreading and my tumors are reduced down to almost nothing. After this next PET Scan, if all is well, they won't need another one for 6months to a year. My son in law has just finished non-hodgkin's lymphoma treatment and his Oncologist refused to do a PET scan. He said blood work will show him everything he needs to know for at least 6 months. His concern is that PET scans are shooting more chemicals into our bodies.

in reply toSurvivornow

Yes, that's true. You must have been scared when you thought that the cancer had spread to your right lung. I know I was when I thought the cancer may have spread to my ovary and womb. I was so relieved when I read the word "benign" in my letter from the hospital. It's good news that your tumours are shrinking. It sounds like your son-in-law is doing well too. All the best to you both!

Hi Sandra,

So you have been through a similar experience? It's pretty stressful, isn't it?

I know the gynaecologist was just doing her job and everyone was being very thorough with all the checks I went through, but the endometrial biopsy was agony (I wasn't offered a local anaesthetic) and then as she had not been able to gather enough cells she ordered a hysteroscopy. I had the endometrial biopsy performed right after I had met my oncologist and learned that my disease was metastatic. She asked if I would prefer to delay the biopsy for another day, but I told her she may as well get on with it as I was already at the hospital. What would delaying it achieve?

When I woke up from the hysteroscopy I had a great reaction to the anaesthetic and had lots of energy when I got home that evening (I always bounce back well from a general anaesthetic!) It was really stressful being under two different departments at the same time, so I was happy when I was finally signed off from gynaecology. Being under the oncology department is more than enough.

I just completed the 14 day beginning of Panacure C protocol. I wanted to hit my remaining cancer hard. I know the original post from the article said no side effects, but I have stomach issues and I did have excess gas and other issues while on the med. Also, we aren't sure if my increase in pain in my chest and ribs was because of the med or the horrible bed in our vacation rental!, but the pain was intense and constant in the area where my chest wall and ribs are effected. I mean a level 10, higher than the amount of pain from the Ibrance. (My family doctor explained that the pain is because of the make up of the ribs and how Ibrance attacks the cancer). So we think the Panacure is also attacking the cancer. Once the 14 days was up and I was off the Panacure for 25 hours, until the next 3 day on, 4 day off cycle, my pain stopped! As a side note, the cost of the Panacure C doubled! (Grrrrrrrr). So the manufacturer has caught onto the use to fight cancer!
