Who is Care Oncology & How Does it Help?

hopenowandtomorrow profile image

I thought this information would be helpful (pulled it from another site) for all of you who have not heard about these treatment options in addition to your traditional treatment.

careoncology.com. Available in the US & UK.

They have published a five-year study on GBM, an aggressive brain cancer. They found that the average post-diagnosis life expectancy improved from an average of 14 months without their protocol to 28 months with their protocol. That’s pretty good.

They also said that they are near publication of two more five-year studies. One is the most aggressive form of breast cancer (triple negative) and the other is pancreatic. They said the results are expected to be similar to the GBM study.

These studies include people who are getting whatever treatment their primary oncologist is administering. Those therapies attack the fast-growing cells of the tumors. The Care Oncology protocol attacks the cancer stem cells. So, they are working in tandem.

Here’s how it works. You set up a call with them. If you choose the service, they set you up with an appointment with a doctor via Zoom. The doctor prescribes a mix of four drugs and has three months worth shipped to the patient. After three months, they review a blood test, adjust the protocol, and send a new batch of meds for the next three months. And so it goes.

The four drugs block different avenues the cancer uses to feed itself. They try to block them all so the stem cell can’t mutate to an alternative supply. All the drugs are repurposed with low likelihood of side-effects.

Atorvastatin (cholesterol)

Metformin (diabetes)

Mebendazole (parasitic)

Doxycycline (antibiotic)

Hi there

I went to the London clinic last year and was prescribed those drugs which I found difficult to take due to side effects

I wasn’t impressed by the doctor I saw and after 3 months I had stopped them apart from membendazole which they refused to reorescribe until I had another consultation...I was disappointed with it all as I was very enthusiastic about the treatment but in reality it didn’t suit me

It’s also difficult to know whether their drugs are responsible for improvement or whether it’s the conventional drugs...this applies to all other holistic treatments

Don’t let me put you off if you want to go that route but ...we all react to different regimes

I agree with you Barb. I have discussed this with my oncologist and he explained how each drug affects your body which may sound like it would do the same to cancer it doesn’t. Just because a parasite cell and a cancer cell move the same way doesn’t mean it will kill the cancer drug. If people take these along with their cancer meds then no harm done (assuming they don’t interact) but please don’t stop all other treatment just for this. The people who say it cured them were also having chemo and radiation.

Hi

I have been on the care oncology programme for nearly a year along with Ibrance, letrazole, Zoladex and denosumab. The Doctor I saw was amazing! When I went to see him for my initial consultation at the clinic in London we talked for 1hr 30min, He explained everything, answered all my questions and although he didn't promise any cure the aim was to live with my stage 4 breast cancer for a long time.

All my scans have been stable and mets show signs of healing. Of course this could be due to the conventional drugs. The way I look at it is the coventional drugs are great but they are not enough, they eventually stop working so I figure that with stage 4 cancer what have I got to lose? I have to do everything possible to see my children grow up!

I’m glad for you that you have had a positive experience with COC as I had noticed on this site that a number of ladies had tried it but had come off it over the last year or so .

I’m a bit of a sceptic myself as I need to have medical research /evidence ...just the way I am , though I have no medical expertise . But I have been fortunate so far to have had good results on conventional treatment only (Ibrance/Letrozole), so I haven’t felt the need to go elsewhere .

Would you mind me asking you a couple of questions ? How is your oncologist with it ? What part of the U.K. are you in ? Also would you be able to say how much it has cost you , as it’s private treatment . Thanks !

Wishing you well! x

I am in Oxfordshire. I haven't told my Oncologist as when I mentioned that I was thinking about doing COC like most Oncologists he said there was no evidence that it helped. He didn't say definitely don't go ahead but he didn't seem that keen so I decided to keep quiet. My GP knows what I am doing and she said it makes sense. COC is a trial and they are gathering the information together and are getting some good results.

I think it was £400 for the initial consultation which was worth every penny to me as the Doctor I saw was so informative about all aspects of my cancer and made me feel extremely positive. I have a follow up appointment every 3 months either by phone or at the clinic which is £200 I also have to provide my latest blood test results. The Doctor then prescribes 3 months of Statin, Menbendazole, metformin & Doxycyclin for a cost of about £75. Personally I feel that it's value for money.

Have you read the book How to starve cancer by Jane Mclelland? It will help explain the theory behind repurposed drugs.

Everybody is different with their approach to cancer but I feel like I am taking control and doing everything possible to beat this. I have got cancer, cancer hasn't got me is how I like to think.

Hope this helps.

Take Care!

Hi Amanda,

I am also on the COC protocol, and have been taking the four prescribed drugs for 13 months. My conventional treatment includes letrozole, zoladex and zometa. Like you, I know that the conventional drugs alone are not enough and will stop working at some point, which is why I have looked elsewhere for additional help with this disease.

After about two consultations I decided to just stick with one private doctor. As my integrative doctor also prescribes these drugs (along with others that are specific to my situation) I decided not to see the COC doctors anymore. But I still follow their protocol. I've just added a lot more steps to it!

My oncologist and GP both know about my use of off-label drugs and supplements, but as they are not interested in what I am doing I no longer share with them what is going on. I defer to my GP and oncologist when I have a question about my conventional treatment, but my private doctor for all else related to my additional protocols that I am following.

I have a notebook where I write down what I am taking each day, which I revise every once in a while, such as when I am taking a month's break from a certain drug, taking a break from the supplements over the weekend, or swapping one medication for another. It also helps keep me organised. When I add anything new then I will record that too. I want to go back to my lists and write down which pathway each drug or supplement blocks. But that's a project for a rainy day!

Hi Sophie

I am also taking numerous supplements and other off label drugs along with the 4 COC prescribe. It seems like a full time job at times researching and making sure I am blocking all pathways.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Amanda,

I know what you mean! This does feel like a full-time job. At the end of each day I pull my notebook out of the cupboard so I can see which drugs and supplements I need to organise for the next day. I would forget otherwise, as I take so many. I then pop all the pills and line up my pill containers in order for the next day. I also measure my breakfast for the next day, as that saves me time in the morning as I am getting ready for work. I couldn't do all of this without my integrative doctor's support though. I'm so glad he is only at the end of the phone or email if I need help with anything.

I wish you all the best too!

Sophie
