Etoposide

[SheilaAD]

Hi all, was diagnosed with OC stage 3c jan 2016, after many chemo’s have been told that there is nothing else that can be done to halt the cancer and have been given Etoposide to try and slow it down. Anyone else had these ?

No experience of Etoposide, sorry. I hope that it helps.

Since I started treatment, I have continually met strangers through weird coincidences who have suggested alternative therapies, such as CBD oil, black seed oil, changing diet and so on and using herbs and spices from the Bible. I don't know if any of this will work. Oh wild mushrooms, organic veg, hibiscus tea, ginger and Biona cranberry juice. I haven't had time to try any yet but fully intend to.

I wish you all the best of luck. Stay strong. Lots of love.

Hello candyapplegrey

Thank you for your reply. If you're thinking of trying any complementary therapies, dietary changes or supplements, it's important to discuss this with your team first to make sure that they're safe for you to use. They may have their own side effects or could potentially interact with medications, and your team will be able to advise you.

If there's anything that we can help with, or if you'd like to talk anything through, please get in touch with our Support Service.

Hi,

I don't know about Etoposide but could you ask if there are any Clinical Trials you could try. Take care and all the best Sue xx

I can only add to candyapplegrey !ook at Jane McLellands facebook if you could afford it speak to Care Oncology Centre in London to see if they can offer alternative supplements. If you search on here you will find posts about Jane McLelland and others that perhaps give a balanced view. Truly feel for you and hope that you will find help. If i can get any links will post for you. X

Hi Sheila, did Etopside work for you? My mum has been offered this.
