Don’t take for granted that feeling tired a couple days after Chemo is always normal. I had 4 Chemo Infusions. Out of four, I needed three (3) blood transfusions.
I had eight chemotherapy,and twenty eight radio therapy sessions for breast cancer. The first four sessions of chemo were alright,the last four caused me severe pain.The physician prescribed b complex injections,and pain killer profenid.The pain used to last for two days.The radiotherapy was OK. I did not suffer any complications accept of the discoloring of the skin,and towards the end I had some skin itching. All in all it was not too bad as I had been anticipating.Wish all cancer patients quick recovery and strength.The best medication is to have a good faith In Allah
Look into alternative therapies before poisoning yourself with Chemo!! And definitely pray to GOD everyday because without HIM all is nothing!
I under went A biopsie and surgery and that was still not enough. First I had four sessions of Chemo in three week spurts. The injections weren’t so bad it was finding a vein that was tricky.(no dieting during this or they wont find any veins.)Make sure they give you something like predizone to come down off the chemo. If not, it’s like an entire week of the drug rehab feeling.At the end of a week they give you a drug to pull your white cell count up.They usually give you only about two or three weeks in between the chemo and radiation treatments.When they set up my radiation treatments they wanted to mark the area with three tatoos , just so they know where to aim the machine. I said I don’t think so . Use a magic marker, and that leaves no mark in the future.They didn’t like it but they did it!
SENDING MY “BEST WISHES” TO MICHAEL DOUGLAS.
BUT I HOPE HE HAS HAD A 2ND OPINION…..I HAD A DOCTOR TELL ME I HAD CANCER, HAD A 2ND OPINION AND #1 DR DIAGNOSED ME WRONG….”BOZO”…..I DON’T HAVE CANCER !!! I’LL SAY IT AGAIN….HE WAS A “BOZO” !!!!! REMMBER DOCTORS DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING…EVEN WHEN THEY ACT LIKE THEY DO…
Cancer is a business, and like any business the doctors are in it for the money by pushing poison. You will never be the same if you take chemo and radiation. I know, I did it. Difficulty swallowing and heartburn are common side effects that never go away. Extreme fatigue even after chemo ends. Chemo will age you 10 years in 1 year. The body will hold on to fat around the middle even if you were never that way. Good luck and look for alternative means that are healing, not poison. Amen!
My advice to Mike Douglas is to go for removal of the cancer by surgery has the top option.
I’m so shocked about this. God bless him, hope he gets okay again.
You have to have faith in your Doctors, and as long as they have a good reputation and a professional in their field, you should listen to their advise. I did chemo and radiation and I worked through my entire Chemo of 8 months. I was a fighter..The radiologist advised me to take time off if I had the time, as I would tire, and I was, then I was back at work in 9 months. My own hair and all
Best wishes for Michael…I had breast cancer and underwent lumpectomy and lymphnode removal. Had the full chemo and radiation treatment. Make it easy on your poor veins. Have a port put in for the chemo. I worked while going through treatment. A positive attitude helps tremendously and let your loved ones and friends do for you while you are going through treatment.
Listen to your body – stay hydrated – rest and rely on close friends and family to help you through it. I had 6 chem treatments and 42 radiation treatments in 2001. It was very rough and you do feel alone but you are not. I also 7 years later had another type of cancer and went through 24 radiation treatments. The first time radiation caused no skin burns the second time it was 3rd degree burns. Good skin care also is important. Even though, from chemo you do loose your sense of taste – eat small mulitple meals with no hot spices – for you can’t feel the burn of the spice – good filtered water, fresh fish, and high protein fresh fruits. Pain management is also important – talk to your oncologist until you feel you are blue in the face – for sometimes no matter who you are they have tendencies to become detached from you – since they see and deal with so much sorrow that cancer puts a patient and family through. Your life won’t be the same but you will be wiser for it – even after treatment – the fatigue is daunting for quite awhile- casual walks, short naps, and a healthy diet. Good luck and God bless
Too much to talk about cancer; from me; but for some reason, everyone are in the world with greed for money, and that already a big issue. The same would be; of the money coming to research, and never would going to find the cure for cancer. Many types of them; and the main reason are the types of food people eat..
I do believe much could be done in the near future I am not a doctor and not sick yet; but I do not like doctors because they prescribe drugs from the pharmacy, and from labs that has been discover for money and not to cure. It is a billion dollar business, and many times I have said. If a air plane fall in one island without pharmacy; and many people are sick and doctors on the air plane, everybody will die because the Doctors do not have a pharmacy around.
Money has been the main issues today; even so wars has being created for business, and many diseases too just to make vaccines to make money by the billions..
Wrote a post…lost it…will try again.
I am a recovering cancer patient.
In looking back…many things I would change…its different for us all….but if I were in your situation…with every option available…I would begin by haveing a weekend with these peole with the express understanding that you want to make use of their advice….Dr.s Oz and his partner Dr. Roisin…Dr. Weil…Dr. Chris Northrup…Suzanne Sommers.
Suzanne might just as well have an M.D. after her name…she is wonderful at research and keeping up with the latest…I have her books. I do not believe everything or everyone I read…I believe her. She has a good heart…she will help you. Get in touch with Spirit…however you perceive the Divine….and forgive…forgive…forgive.
God Bless you Michael and your family…May Angels of Healing attend you . p.s. online Unity …contact them…they have round the clock prayer..nondenominational…..powerful. V.
I am a cancer survivor and chemo did not help me at all. I still have horrible side effects even though it has been 15 years. There are lots of other things that you can do, but you will probably have to battle your doctors at the same time as you are battling the disease. There are two books that I would like to recommend:Knockout by Suzanne Summers and “the Cure for all Cancers” by Hulda Clark PhD.
Remember it is your own body that you are fighting and remember to be kind to yourself. You have always been a warrior, but this may be your hardest fight ever. God Bless you
I am a cancer survivor of 11 years. Yes, 11 years; of HELL! My advice to Michael Douglas, and I sincerely hope he conciders it is: Before you have ANY treatment, please read Suzanne Summers’ book “KNOCKOUT” she has met with and interviewed MD’s who know how to cure cancer without horrible chemotherapy which poisons your body and radiation which burns you alive. As a result of the chemotherapy I endured, I have developed congestive heart failure because the chemo destroyed 63% of my heart muscle. I am 63 years old and developed breast cancer at age 49. I wish I had known about Suzanne Summers then, I wouldn’t be dying of heart failure now!
Its all about the water ..Alkaline water is the key..go to

Go for a 2nd opinion before you do anything.
Go with YOUR Heart.
Have a positive attitude.
Think of your loved ones and yourself and everything will be a piece of cake.

Michael check out the effectiveness of PAW PAW in capsule form is OK but PAW PAW concentrate is remarkable I know from experience no side effects all the very best Clarrie
Take care Michael.
I am in the health & wellness industry and would strongly recommend an antidote to Chemotherapy – which is BETAGUARD followed by Phytonutrients: CAROTENOIDS, FLAVENOID COMPLEX & CRUCIFEROUS. These are GNLD products that really work in building up the immunity. A small price for big miracles !
I was diagnosed with throat cancer a year ago I had surgery it was hellish but so far clear no Radiation or Chemo good luck Michael I would have the surgery first God Bless
Lose the Chemo and Rad. Thoroughly digest what Bill Henderson for one has to offer on his website.
Once you have choosen your course of treatment, do what the doctors tell you to do. This is a very difficult cancer cure to undergo and you need to eat properly, sleep as best you can, swish, swish and more swish. Be as proactive as you can and let your family help you. Going through this is a full time job and you’ve got to trust your people. All the stuff they tell you to do perserves your speech, the muscles in your neck, your bones and your teeth. When it comes to listening to the healthcare team your response needs to be “Just Do It!”. This is no time for quackery.
My husband went through throat cancer treatment in ‘98. It was a rough treatment, but he is doing great now. He had radiation and chemo at the same time. Then he had surgery. He had two really great doctors and they took very good care of him. Keep the faith in God and stay optomistic and you’ll get through this.
I wish Michael Douglas the very best and hope he fully recovers. I believe a natural remedy can really help him. It’s the Tibetan Milk Mushroom and I have info on it and me and my husband use it regularly to keep up our health and we feel great. It really could help.
I was diagnosed stage four throat cancer in 2005.It had spread to my lymph nodes. I did 39 radiation treatments and eight weeks of chemo. i lost a hundred pounds and almost died. the treatment is devastating and full recovery is a myth. i had all my teeth removed and have not eaten solid food since 2006. i lost my taste and smell senses and my saliva glands were destroyed.my hair fell out. this is devastating treatment but i survive one day at a time. i wish michael well and would love to talk to him as a survivor. no one else understands. be strong mike and good luck. walter
My brother-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer this summer and after agressive treatment with chemo and radiation, he recently went in for his check-up and was told he is cancer free, no signs seen. So my advise for Michael is to have faith, determination and good doctors and treatment, and I believe he too will come out cancer free. May God Bless. Judy
i just want michael and catherine try to get in touch w/ my homeopathic doctor and see what he has to say; he will tell you if he can help or not; bring him over to see michael; money is not the issue for him, you have to give this a chance if he can help it’s up to you to reward him for his effort otherwise just give him money to go back home, no fanfare on this please, i am just trying to help becuz he helped me a lot w/my ailments that an ordinary physician can’t do, he’s word to me is “i’m buying you time”; he is a decent man he doesn’t need fanfare and lawsuit if he is not successful becuz whatever he will give michael that won’t work won’t even hurt him at all so there’s no worry for any side effects. pls email me if there is an interest to meet him and we go from there. p.s. i told him that i want to help michael and i want to help him becuz he has a good heart!
Dear Michael and Catherine,

Dear Michael and Catherine,
You are my best actors and I lke you very much both.
I’ve read the comments above. Like the other people I’d like from my whole heart and soule, Michal to be cured from the cancer.
I am a part of the people who are participating in the Universal Energy courses. Our teacher and master was prof. Luong Ming Dang. The Universal energy is a Heavenly energy, which ocupations in the space. It could cure the people through the chakras. We lay our hands to the chakras /or a tender space / and make a transmission 3 to 5 minutes. It could be done 2-3 times a day. in 2007 I saw in our site how Metre Dang cured peope form skin cancer in France.
If you wish, I can connect to our centre of UE here in Bulgaria / Humanity, Love, Enlightment/ to see what
are the real opportunitys to help to Michael Douglas.

Dear Michael:
I received info a few years back that a Doctor Munoz of Tijuana spent years studying cancer and developed a cure which placed terminal cancer patients back to work in a few days. His method was to raise body temperature to 300 degrees which allows the cancer cell to be removed from its shell then is zapped with a low chimo, killing the cancer. Am sure I still have the article if you’re interested.
In the late 80″s a good friend of mine and myself were having lunch from back of my station wagon at Wawona in
Yosemite when I thought it was you in a Mercedes conv. with a young lady. You stayed in the 2-story apartmts.
If this was not you, no biggy!
Best thoughts, Elmer (Also check with Homeopathic Dr.)
I think mr. Douglas should move to remove all meat products from his diet, and juice organic grown vegetables including brocklii and red apples as the most frequent. He should also keep his blood as alkaline as possible, retreving to a nature reserve. He can also contact the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church organisation for more information.
