SURVIVOR ~ Breast Cancer Stage IV

My Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a little over two years ago. She had a mastectomy, from which the incision became infected; chemotherapy, which made it hard for her to heal, and then radiation. It's been about a year since her final radiation treatment, and she had a tumor marker which reported elevated levels. Her doctor then made her take a cat scan, bone scan and several x-rays, which showed cancer in her lumbar spine and pelvis. They've diagnosed her with breast cancer stage IV.

When they told her, they didn't do it in a loving way... they let her know that there wasn't much that could be done at this point, aside from testing different drugs on her, and "finally" chemotherapy to ease any pain. She's 66 now, has had a hard life but STILL keeps her head up and looks for the good in anything that happens. She's afraid and I know it. She raised myself and my brother on her own, with no type of support whatsoever. I couldn't just say "ok, this is it . . . we just wait now" I HAD to have hope and search to find ANYTHING possible on the internet.

We found an alternative medicine doctor. She's wonderful and changed my Mom's diet completely. There are a LOT of things that oncologists don't seem to tell people. Diet is definitely a factor for all of us, let alone people who have or have had cancer in any form. Anyway . . . I found a website about a vitamin (B17), laetril. It was something that was actually "curing" cancer. I had to put that in parenthesis... because apparently the government doesn't believe that it helps and has actually tried to ban it from our country. It's very sad, because it's made from seeds... mostly apples and apricots.

Anyway, I called a few health food stores to see how much the vitamin cost and if they had it in stock. Most people didn't even know what I was talking about, finally I found a guy at one of the health stores that said "Oh, laetril? it's illegal in the states." I said, "Why would it be illegal?" To which he replied, "It cures cancer. The doctor that made it won the Nobel Peace Prize and was later harrassed and even put in jail for treating people with cancer." I asked where I could get it, and he said, "It's still legal in Mexico" and hung up on me.

I was so excited, I started searching as many websites as I could on this vitamin. I finally found a Hospital in Mexico called, Oasis of Hope. They didn't act as though my Mom was "just going to die and there was nothing left to do"... they acted as though there WAS A WAY! I needed to share that with you all. As soon as I can get enough money together to send her, that's where she's going. I hope that maybe some of you will check out the hospital or at least the vitamin. God Bless You all!
