Metastatic liver cancer

I always loved the idea to combat black ants with red ants: kind of let them fight it out amongst themselves!

Biotech gets down and dirty with cancer

So it would be logical to fight cancer cells with other cells as well in stead of trying to kill all but the person himself through chemotherapy. Yet the chemical industry is a multibillion business, so no wonder they venture into all fields possible, including so called cancer treatments.

So I am very happy to see a complete different approach which you can read here. Basically the idea is using micro-organisms found in soil to combat cancer cells. Simple logic: let some little critter beat the other nasty little cancer critter!

There is a taboo when it comes to cancer: as if you did something wrong and … gosh, what is more bad than having cancer that you wouldn’t go in the open with it?

But there is another reason I noticed now since Mom is above the knife and recovering in hospital. Her sister is visiting her a lot. Not like before when she was taking care of her husband suffering from kidney cancer.

This is something I always overlooked: it’s not only the cancer person that get’s isolated in palliative care at home: suddenly the whole family that takes care of the cancer patient becomes isolated. Mom has seen her sister the last few days more than in the 20 years she was taking care of her husband living with cancer. If you can’t let your husband 1 single second alone, then you are stuck, healthy but stuck…

Father made the effort to start his online journal about his metastatic liver cancer at a stage of his life where the energy and life was drained out of his body.

With all respect to father, I am going to re-read his complete metastatic liver cancer blog and try to make it in some sort of e-book.

I would love other cancer patients and cancer care givers to join: leave a small comment about what cancer is in your life or what it means for you.

The idea is that all the people that still have to undergo sooner or later cancer within their lives, have some support from similar cancer stories.

Every cancer story is different, yet it all involves cancer.

Every person is different, yet we all are humans.
