Nancy’s liver cancer story

My grandmother died of liver cancer in 1990 -no drinking, no hepatitis C. She went really fast.

I’m glad that there’s a blog like this getting the information out there on different treatments.

Anyhow, I have heard of many people having luck with the original whole fruit mangosteen juice, which has natural anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.

I wish my grandmother could have tried it.

Metastatic liver cancer prevention

Being aware that there is food and fruits out there having anti cancerous properties is the first step you can take in preventing yourself from getting cancer.

But you shouldn’t stop there: drinking a bottle of mangosteen won’t change that you are breathing polluted air or eating other food with pesticides.

So if you go for mangosteen, then go for an entire organic diet and include lots and lots of tomatoes (organic ketchup or puree is even 100 times better). Also eat avocado’s: although not that delicious on their own, combined with a tomato, pepper, salt, cumin and a pinch of garlic it makes a delicious guacamole which in my case replaces mayonnaise on fresh salads.

Live healthy because
your body is your best asset
when it comes to killing cancer cells.

I am sure there are plants out there in the rainforest that are even better than mangosteen when it comes to cancer prevention and maybe even cancer treatment. Unfortunately the human race is only interested in the wood the trees can produce, and destroying in their path plants that could carry the treatment for metastatic liver cancer.

Who else knows your environment is the primary cause of cancer?

Reading Barbara’s cancer story about her father having bone cancer and liver cancer at the same time, I googled to find bone cancer early symptoms. Because when you detect cancer at an early stage, chances of having a successful treatment do exist.

Sadly, primary bone cancer is relatively uncommon in comparison with secondary or metastatic bone cancer. And just like father’s metastatic liver cancer had an unknown primary, it seems that in a lot of cases the primary cancer is not yet recognized at the time when the early metastatic cancer in the bone becomes
painful and people go see their doctor.

Primary bone cancer

Cancer that begins is the bone is called a primary bone cancer. But when you or your loved one has cancer, you will hear a lot of terms and it feels that "everybody has his own idea what kind of cancer you are dealing with".

With primary bone cancer, the word sarcoma will often be heard. Sarcoma is a malignant tumor (which is another way of saying a cancerous tumor or bad tumor) arising in the bone, cartilage, fibrous tissue or muscle.

Most people will now criticize my idea that we have cancer due to living in an unhealthy environment, breathing in unhealthy air and eating food filled with pesticide residues. Why criticize? Because children and young people are more likely to have bone cancer than adults.

So my theory that an accumulation of bad residues over the years will cause cancer in older people holds, but how does it explain cancer in younger people?

For this you have to go back to the best pesticide ever DDT: it killed everything and was "oh so practical". What DDT also did was killing the embryo in the eggs of bald eagles after the Second World War:

…Along with the passage of the Endangered Species Act, the US ban on DDT is cited by scientists as a major factor in the comeback of the bald eagle in the contiguous US…

So as long as adults have to bear living in a sick environment,
adults will bear sick children.

…as long as adults have to bear living in a sick environment,
adults will bear sick children…

Barbara’s liver cancer story

Barbara left her cancer story in a comment at love your parents you only have 1 pair of them.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I just learned last night that I am facing the same with my father. His cancer spread to his bones and his liver.

I am trying to learn what he will face in this last year or so of his life and none of it looks good.

I know this will be the most difficult thing I have ever faced, but I pray that I can stay strong for him and my mother.

They just celebrated their 54th anniversary and have had many honeymoons.

He says he is okay with the end of his life, but I don’t think I am.

Oh well, I guess I don’t have any choice in this.

Metastatic liver cancer story

Our father seemed to be a bit younger than Barbara’s father when he got diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

Father kept a stiff upper lip saying that he did live a good life, but the tears in his eyes didn’t really say the same.

You do need to be strong for your mother, because she will be the one loosing her partner for more than 54 years. Loosing a father is bad, but cannot be compared with loosing a partner of 54 years, so try to keep that in perspective.

Mom could really become angry to people coming with a story like: oh, when my husband had a terrible flu I also thought he was going to die and felt so afraid blablabla…

Of course you feel afraid, but with a flu you have hope for a better outcome, with terminal cancer you have no other options…

When Kistan2 asked in her Liver Cancer story about alternative liver cancer treatments, we immediately had to think about hepatocellular chemoembolization.

• chemo-embolization are 2 treatments in 1:
• a chemotherapy through the artery feeding the liver cancer +
• a closing of the above artery feeding the liver cancer
  

Immediately, because we went through the same quest when father was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer. We searched the Internet for any cure, we found a few "promising treatments", but :

• they were extremely expensive, a long waiting list and not at all nearby
• they were promising because you tend to hold on believing in miracles
• they were all quite useless in our case because the doctors couldn’t find father’s primary cancer. In other words: even if we replaced the liver with a new one, the primary cancer sooner or later would attack it again (although nobody knows when, so you might say: if I can prolong my life with 5 extra years, why not…. Which is true, but the medical world doesn’t operate like you think…)
• one doctor even told us to stop reading the Internet and spend as much quality time as possible with father…

What is Hepatocellular Chemoembolization?

Chemoembolization is an innovative treatment for cancers of the liver doing 2 things at the same time:

1. block the tumors’ blood supply and at the same time
2. deposit a concentrated form of chemotherapy at the site of the cancer.

A catheter (a thin flexible, spaghetti sized tube) is placed through a tiny hole in the skin and directed through the pathways of the body’s arteries straight into the portion of the liver where the cancer is located.

Chemotherapy and particles which block the blood supply are then infused through this catheter.

Advantages of hepatocellular chemoembolization

Fist and foremost: it is a chemotherapy, so it’s not a guaranteed cure.

It is also used to reduce the size of the tumor to decrease the pain due to the growing liver pushing against the other organs.

The main advantage is that the chemotherapy doesn’t go into the entire bloodstream, so a higher dose can be used without the patient suffering from terrible side-effects if this dose was given with a normal chemo-therapy.

How does that work exactly you say? Well: the liver gets his blood:

• 75% from the so called portal vein
• 25% from the so called hepatic artery

Tumors in the liver typically get most of their blood supply from the hepatic artery. So:

• drugs or embolic material injected into the hepatic artery kill or greatly inhibit the tumor and
• spare most of the healthy liver tissue that is fed via the portal vein.

In father’s metastatic liver cancer case unfortunately: his liver didn’t have 1 big tumor, but looked like a raisin bread filled with little tumors. Trying hepatocellular chemoembolization would have been a daunting task…
