Jim’s son’s victory over metastatic liver cancer
:-)
Today is special because:
- Jim’s son is in remission for his secondary liver cancer
- father would have celebrated his 78th birthday
Jim has been updating us about his son’s spread cancers for months now. Things keep on looking better thanks to:
- having professional help from his aunt: an experienced oncology nurse with medical certification who survived breast cancer
- eating health food
- doing relaxation
- having hopeful spirits
- having a very helpful family (thanks Jim as always!)
- having a good sense of humor
Although his cancer is under control, Jim’s son is still having a stoma. In other words: victory over cancer doesn’t mean that everything is 100% ok. But father would have loved a stoma and being able to drive a car again much more than being buried for 2 years now…
The best cancer treatment is your healthy body
In the sidebar we summarized what we learned from all our metastatic liver cancer survivors under the title "The best cancer treatment is your healthy body".
Jim gives an update about his son’s cancer treatment with positive results.
Update on Jim’s son
Yesterday we got the results of his PET scan and they showed that there was no further cancer growths in his liver, lung and bowel or anywhere else.
The bowel cancer is dead and the lung and liver are now very small: so lets say he is remission!
He has started another round of Xeloda and will probably have another two of Oxalyplatin after this. His cancers have reduced by probably 95%.
Bowel cancer treatment
We have decided not to operate on the bowel tumour for the moment as he needs to gain more strength and put on more weight. The surgeons agreed with this as they said the bowel cancer is not now a problem.
We want him to get stronger so he can have the operation and hopefully reverse the stoma.
He has gained one half stone in weight over the last three weeks and has today driven himself and his mother to his aunt for his relaxation therapy.
Given that last September he was given no hope and only six weeks to three months all is good at the moment.
He looks good too, back to his normal self with a good sense of humour.
He still takes the alternative therapy remedies and these seem to be helping in a great way.
His aunt is treating another patient with similar conditions to his and her cancers have reduced a phenomenal amount, so much so the oncologist asked if she was taking anything else with the chemo, and she just said health food!
He takes so many type of remedies that I can’t keep up with them all as they are taken at different times of the chemotherapy cycles.
I will say if you are looking for alternative treatment stay away form the ’shonks’ and look for someone who has an oncology background with medical certification as they are the only ones who understand the complete picture of both treatments.
Good luck to all of you; I will keep you posted on his progress.
Best wishes,
Jim
Which alternative treatments to use?
We would love that one day Jim could write down all the alternative treatments his son has taken.
We agree with Jim: stay away from the ’shonks’. It’s utterly disgusting how many emails we got trying to sell us colon cleansing to cure father from his metastatic liver cancer.
There is no miracle cure for cancer and whoever says he has, he should give you the guarantee of your money back.
Listening to all our metastatic liver cancer survivors, all they have in common is that they have a mixture of treatments and lifestyles in order to keep one step ahead of the cancer.
Like Jim says: eat health food. If you have no clue where to begin, go to a bigger supermarket and look for the organic vegetables section and organic meat section.
Yes you will pay more for health food. But if you have ever seen cancer up close, you know that the extra money for organic food pays back well it keeps the cancer away.
If you buy books about cancer treatments, then only buy cancer books with a money back guarantee. These are the only kind of books we offer on this homepage.
We recommend My Victory Over Cancer because:
- it’s the cheapest cancer treatment book we have on offer – only 19.95$
- it has an 8 week money back guarantee – no questions asked
- it’s not only about food but has what we advocate: an holistic approach towards health and cancer using prayer, stress elimination, detoxification, building the immune system, proper nutrition, easy cooking methods and
- it’s written by yet another liver cancer survivor Magalie Hall:
My Victory Over Cancer is Magalie Hall’s story of going from having 6 to 18 months to live, to total victory over liver cancer 10 years ago through nutritional and faith-based methods.
She believes in:
- prayer,
- stress elimination,
- detoxification,
- building the immune system,
- proper nutrition and
- easy cooking methods.
Her method is based on her own experience and can be used alongside conventional cancer treatments.
Like we always say at metastaticlivercancer.org "I don’t know exactly what works, but something is working" is far more better than a chemotherapy that doesn’t work for you.
Some parts of her book you could argue is not needed. Always listen to your gut feeling and if you have better alternative ideas than the ones listed by Magalie: by all means use them! We all carry a piece of the puzzle to treat cancer.
The bonus gifts are two email newsletters:
- Victory Recipes and
- Victory Tools covering Magalie’s new tips, methods, products and resources.
This book has very detailed detoxification and nutritional information, written by a woman who has survived liver cancer.

We wish you well
We ask Jim’s father and any of you who survived cancer, to write down everything you think helped you in your victory above cancer.
A big hug for all of you, we know that cancer is a killer but be inspired by Jim son’s story and our other metastatic liver cancer survivor stories.

The best cancer treatment: having a healthy body
As long as there is no bullet proof cure for cancer, it all boils down to Darwin's survival of the fittest. The best way to get ahead of cancer is:
- making sure you don't get cancer
- making sure your body has all it can get to kill cancer cells
Cancer prevention boils down to eating and living healthy, keeping a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Easier said than done in a world were your job stresses you out, car smoke pollutes your air, food is filled with residu's and water is polluted.
But if your life is dear to you, then you cannot use all the above as an excuse. Father had been smoking, had worked with asbestos and didn't eat much vegetables nor fruit. Father died with metastatic liver cancer in a way I wouldn't even wish my worst enemy.
When your life is dear to you, start doing all the things that our metastatic liver cancer survivors are doing:
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 gotta have a dog"

Update on Jim’s’ son. He is doing ok and is now back on the Oxalyplatin and oral Xeloda. He is looking well and in good spirits and enjoys a joke most of the time. He has also gained 25 pounds in weight!
When he recently went for his PET scan we had time to spare before the appointment and we went to see his ‘old boss’. He nearly fell over when he saw him walk through the door and said afterwards “I never thought I would see him walk through that door again”.
Yesterday he took his car for a spin when he took his mother to get her car from being serviced.
All is good at the moment. His aunt is still treating him with all sorts of stuff; but has said he must always take the Grifola mushroom compound even if he has nothing else. One of her patients who had to make economies stopped the mushroom extract and her cancers started to come back. I know we are lucky and not paying the A$140/bottle for it but if you can afford it try it.
I don’t have much more information at the moment as things as I said earlier are as good as can be expected, we are hoping for a good outcome; we are going for the minimum of the 5 year target at this stage.
This is afar cry from the 6 weeks to 3 months last September. His cancer counts have also gone from 2300 to 100 a slight rise in the lowest of 35.
Remember cancer patients need relaxation and no stress and have no worries about anything else but getting well. I know it is stressful on the carers but it is worth it. My wife and I both have jobs to keep a hold of and we share the care between us. She works shifts and finishes early weekdays by 9 am and then works all day Sat and Sun when I look out for him.
Best wishes to you all, and I hope your outcomes are all good too.

Update on Jim’s son.
It has been 10 months since my son was diagnosed with liver mets and colon cancer and he is still with us thank God.
He is on his 10th round of chemo and has had is oral chemo increased to 1500mg/day. He is doing ok and is in good spirits even though some days he is down.
His cancer counters have stabilised at about 300 from a low of 80 and a high of 2300 which is good. The oncologist has said he wants to make sure the colon cancer is ‘dead’ and then they can make some decisions as what to do and has said there are quite a few opitons open to them. His liver mets have calcified and as far as I know they are no longer a threat at this moment; which is good.
He is still taking all the alternative remedies prescibed by his aunt and is looking good. No hair loss no sickness. etc.
That’s about all at the moment. I will keep you informed. Good luck to you all, and if you can find a good alternative practitioner which I a sure in our case has helped immensely.
Jim
I was diagnosed with Metastatic liver cancer in January 2009. I had 5 rounds of chemo – Carboplatin, Etoposide. I started eating only organic foods, very little meat (occasional organic chicken) – basically vegetarian. Took supplements (CoEnzyme Q10, selenium, Zeolite, apricot kernels). Went to the Gawler Foundation in Melbourne which encourages meditation, diet etc for cancer sufferers and is a wonderful, hope-filled place. I am now in remission (they never found the primary), and feel better than I have in 20 years. So metastatic liver cancer I think can be beaten – but it takes a change in lifestyle to do it!
[...] We have a handful of metastatic liver cancer survivors contributing to our site to show by experience that people can survive a stage iv metastatic liver cancer. The first step in surviving cancer is believing you can survive cancer, that’s why we want you to get inspired by Jim’s son’s victory over metastatic liver cancer. [...]

Update on Jim’s son.
Tomorrow will the the first anniversary of my son’s diagnosis of colorectal cancer with liver mets, and today he has just had his 15th round of chemo. His is still on Oxalyplatin and Xeloda; therefore he is still with us, and in good spirits even though he has his ‘down’ days about one week after the intravenous.
We found out the other day that he is still in stage IV but the cancer is not advancing and the oncologist said on Monday that he is surprised at his condition considering the severity of the illness. His blood pictures are good and he is retaining weight and his cancer counts are quite low; my wife forgot to ask what they were, but low, and not as low as the lowest they have been.
I would love to tell you what is keeping him alive and I think it is all the alternative remedies supplied by his aunt which compliments the chemo; she changes them on a regular basis so I can’t keep up. But the main one is Grifola and also liver support and immune system support drops (nothing on the bottle so I don’t know). I think you have to find an alternative practitioner who prescribes for you what you need and I don’t think there is a one for all solution. We are just very lucky his aunt is so well qualified in cancer nursing and alternative therapy and understands what is required.
One thing I think that helps is that we eat quality food (not organic) and a huge variation from steak to salad to roasts and lots of Asian style and heaps of veggies; his main love is hot curry with spicy papadoms (maybe good for cancer sufferers, who knows!).
I don’t know what else to tell you; but lots of love and care help. My son doesn’t have to do anything but try to get better.
Best wishes to you all. I hope success is with you too.
Jim.

My husband just recently diagnose with liver cancer that mets to the lungs according to a hepatologist and advice us to consult a hospice. We cannot take it so I consulted an Oncologist and we are waiting for biopsy to start his treatment but looking at my husband makes me feel like hopeless. So as I was reading this stories at your website, it gives me hope. So please guide me on what to do first. I need your answer right away please.
Thank you!
Sheila
Dear Sheila,
We have been in a similar situation. When doctors say: consult hospice they say: “with normal efforts and with our limited experience we won’t be able to cure the disease”.
If you would have a doctor in front of you that has a cancer survivor patient with a similar cancer as your husband, he would say: “we can cure this disease although the statistics are against you.”
What our cancer survivors say is: you need to 100% believe you cn cure the cancer and then you need to do everything right. If you have that mindset and energy, then you need to step to an oncologist who believes as well and do everything right.
If you don’t believe there is a cure, what we happened to believe when our father was diagnosed with secondary liver cancer, you need to contact hospice asap and organise your life knowing that tomorrow will be more difficult than today.
Hugs and please ask more questions, which I will answer faster than I did now.
