Before my mum underwent any treatment, a month
had passed, during which time I was already underway
on my hunt for information. By chance I came across
a Reflexologist who casually asked me “is
she going to go ahead with chemotherapy?”
and “are you aware that chemotherapy can
actually create many health problems, as well
as damaging the immune system that the body relies
upon to defend it from further cancers?”.
Hearing this I was obviously very concerned. I
just “presumed” orthodox treatment
was the best direction to take. At this time,
he told me about an alternative, non-toxic treatment
named “Laetrile” (also named “Amygydalin”
and vitamin “B17” which is derived
from apricot kernels (see laetrile)). He told
me of a lady who had fought off cancer for 12
years with laetrile alone, and also explained
how chemotherapy can actually cause further cancer
because it destroys our precious immune system,
which protects us from cancer in the first place.
He also told me important aspects of diet that
will increase mums chances if we followed it strictly.
That night, we all sat down and
discussed this in depth. Eventually we decided
that for us to put our trust In someone we hardly
knew, we would be very foolish. So, we opted to
take the chemotherapy route. After all, isn’t
that the direction everyone takes when they get
diagnosed with cancer? If there was anything better,
surely it would be shouted from the rooftops,
it would be announced on the news woudnt it? If
not, why not? Well, we will come to that later!
After mums very painful biopsy,
she was diagnosed with an unknown primary, although
they believed the cancer originated from either
the Pancreas, Gall Bladder or billiary ducts.
Therefore, Mum started a chemotherapy combination
of Cisplatin and Gemcitabine, February 2005. Basically
they never really knew where the primary was.
The type of cancer was described as “adenoid
carcinoma”.
Mum was given steroids to increase her appetite,
anti-sickness tablets to stop nausea caused by
chemotherapy and medication to prevent diarrhea.
All these drugs were in addition to the toxic
chemotherapy. This amazed me, considering the
liver is the main detoxification organ of the
body, which was already impaired by the illness.
After mum’s first treatment, she started
to lose her hair - this was an extremely emotional
time for her. The whole situation was bad enough
without this. Within a few weeks of mum having
treatment, she started to feel really weak, tired
and looked poorly. The first night she had treatment
she experienced severe lower back pain. I contacted
the chemotherapy hotline, where they explained
it had nothing to do with the chemotherapy, just
take a pain killer, its more likely her condition.
Quite coincidental, considering mum had NEVER
had back pain or problems until this first day
of treatment.
With all the negative news we
had heard about chemotherapy, we became more and
more concerned as mum showed signs of bad health
whilst on the treatment. We were given information,
just as you are reading this now, but still we
put our trust in orthodox NHS treatment. We waited
eagerly to find out if the treatment had actually
done anything.
