Hey all,
Just a quick rundown, but unfortunately my sister was diagnosed with an aggressive leiomyosarcoma cancer a few years back. She had been off an on several chemos when some seemed to work and then would gradually stop working. This year they put her on a chemo that was very strong, so strong that one dose sent her to the ER... twice!
We can't always judge how our family members with cancer react to things or what they will or won't do, but after enough time on chemo, the throwing up and the misery she decided it's probably better to just die that stay on it, which is a very hard thing to take.
Thankfully though, we discovered my cancer story dot rocks and followed the protocol and it seemed to be making progress, I could only hear second hand from her that her doctor felt the cancer was then in remission and possibly shrinking. Then the above super-chemo was implemented and it felt like the fenbendazole treatment stopped working after that? I'm confused about it, though my sis kinda took a fatalistic attitude to it that her cancer learned how to survive through Fenbendazole.
So here we are today, a few months later and still having done Fenbendazole (heck, Ivermectin and HCQ too!) three times a week, but unfortunately where they needled her back to get a lung tissue sample has been hurting more and more and more lately. Her required pain meds just keep increasing and she's now in the hospital with a morphine drip. I'm really hopeful she'll come home some time in the week but as bad as the cancer is, I want to know if there's anything we can do about the pain. I'm not even sure what's causing it... can cancer grow into nerve endings and just cause relentless pain spikes?
I had heard from here about treating pain, back pain, broken bone pain and nerve pain with with Comphrey, which I ordered and it even got here Tuesday, just in time for me to get super sick with something and unable to help her apply it. I'm looking to rub comphrey where her back is hurting when I can, but... well, I feel at a loss. Is there anything else we can do?
If you don't want to give direct medical advice, that's fine. You can just say what you would do if it were your situation.
Thank you friends!
I went through cancer treatments in 2013 and used a prescribed opiate liquid compound from a local pharmacy. It worked but because I am also a long-time recovering addict/alcoholic (clean and sober MANY years) I used it exactly as prescribed and with my doctor began weaning off it it quickly after the treatments ended. My thought was that I feared addiction again more than mere cancer. So my doctor worked with me on that.
As I began using lower and lower doses of the opiate liquid, the pain was still there but I started using an old friend that I had used for many years for sports pain (I'm a weight lifter and rowing maniac), believe it or not, "Arthritis Strength BC powders. These come in 1,000mg packets and are fine for muscle aches and especially headaches. But I found that the body can tolerate up to 4,000mg of aspirin a day, so during my final cancer days as I diminished the doses of opiate, I found that 2,000mg of aspirin powder seemed to work just fine.
Today I am cancer free and now only use 1,000mg each morning with my morning coffee and the aches from intense gym workouts becomes manageable. I hope this might work for your sister.
