Cancer count down from 2100 to 35. Jim happily updates the results of his son’s metastatic liver cancer treatment just before his next PET scan in March.
How to cure secondary liver cancer?
Jim’s son is one of the way too few secondary liver cancer survivors that are contributing to our site.
For those new on this site, we recommend:
- you read all our metastatic liver cancer survival stories and see what works for you:
- CJ metastatic liver cancer survivor (1)
- Dan Metastatic liver cancer survivor (3)
- Jim’s son metastatic liver cancer survivor (5)
- Patti Metastatic Liver cancer survivor (1)
- Ray Metastatic liver cancer survivor (2)
- Trish Metastatic Liver Cancer Survivor (5)
- read Jim’s son’s update below or
- have a look at how we summarize the cure for this cancer:
Summarized holistic metastatic liver cancer treatment
- 1. believe there is a cure : believe it like you believe the sun will rise tomorrow
- 2. use conventional medicine like chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation therapy
- 3. use alternative cancer treatments to boost your immune system and overall health:
- the healthier you are: the better you can fight of diseases and
- the healthier you are: the better chemotherapy could work for you
- 4. follow an holistic health approach: having a healthy spirit in a healthy body:
- focus on less stress,
- more relaxation,
- more exercise (Jim’s son is swimming twice a week for both exercise and relaxation),
- a healthy diet based on organic products
- make sure you have a hobby to pass your time doing something you love
- 5. make sure you have money or good health insurance to buy what you need to better achieve all of the above
- 6. surround yourself with as many loving and helpful creatures you can find: according to pancreatic cancer patient Patrick Swayze: you also:
"gotta have a dog"
Swimming pool companies and cancer research centers should note that swimming twice weekly is part of Jim’s son relaxation. He also has a hobby to keep him occupied during the long hours sitting at home.
Don’t forget the pain…
I never heard anybody talking about cancer treatments without talking about severe pain. Jim’s son is no different.
When his pain is bad, he takes opium-derived Endone:
Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic medication synthesized from opium-derived thebaine.
It was developed in 1916 in Germany, as one of several new semi-synthetic opioids with several benefits over the older traditional opiates and opioids; morphine, diacetylmorphine (heroin) and codeine.
It was introduced to the pharmaceutical market as Eukodal or Eucodal and Dinarkon. Its chemical name is derived from codeine – the chemical structures are very similar…
(read more about this pain killer at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endone)
Picture of a stoma
Words can be deceptive… Above a picture of a stoma.
A stoma is a temporary opening in the abdominal wall that allows the end of the small or large intestine to be brought through the abdomen and fastened onto the surface of the skin. This enables waste materials from the intestines to pass through the stoma and empty into a bag called a colostomy bag.
Stoma’s can get infected, stoma belts can help you to get around easier having a stoma.
And Jim’s son is able to do some swimming having a stoma.
Next colon cancer treatment
So far Jim’s son bowel tumor is still inside his abdomen and will be (surgically? – please update us Jim -) removed in March.
This illustrates that:
- treating metastatic liver cancer is a ling journey that takes a few months
- you need to do everything right
- metastatic liver cancer can be treated!
Jim’s update about his son’s secondary liver cancer
Commented at Can chemotherapy cure metastatic liver cancer?
Update of my son.
He was hospitalized four days prior to Christmas for an infection and again two three weeks ago.
On the last hospitalization they found nothing, no infection or any thing else but he had a very watery discharge from the stoma as the bowel lining was not absorbing properly because of the chemo, that has now stabilized but:
Whilst in hospital they decided that his condition had improved and that the bowel cancer was breaking up and upon results of a CTI scan (already done) and a PET scan in March they think they maybe able to remove the bowel tumor and some of the liver mets as they are about 75% reduced on last scan could even be more by now.
The antibiotics made him tired but not enough to stop him swimming twice weekly in his aunts indoor swimming pool, which gave him great relaxation.
His condition is stable and his attitude positive; he is also continuing on with the alternative treatments especially the immune system booster and mushroom extracts.
He has some pain in the stomach but this only to be expected as the bowel is reforming after chemo (which he has stopped now for three weeks, as four weeks is essential for good PET scan results. When the pain is bad he takes Endone, but only when it is really bad and that is not that often.
He is staying positive and talking about when he will be able to get back to his IT job as being at home is a bit boring. He makes very complicated models imported from Japan for therapy and to keep himself occupied.
I will update after the PET scan to let you know what is happens.
Thanks Jim for your update:
we wish you and your family well!
We wish your son’s cancer story inspires other readers to add our holistic cancer therapies to their metastatic liver cancer treatment.
