Looking for success stories for Uveal Melanoma Metastasizing to liver?

Posted by Marlene Eckert @me1229, Aug 4, 2024

I was diagnosed with OcularUveal Melanoma in 2023I had successful radiation treatment. My recent scan of the abdomen shows 8 highly suspicious lesions in my liver yet none are big enough to biopsy. My next scan is 8/9 and I see an oncologist 8/12. I also have a 2nd opinion scheduled at MD Anderson in Jacksonville, Florida, my hometown. I am trying to remain positive that I can beat this. I have changed my diet to reduce all sugar, trying to eat very healthy, walking, and trying to reduce stress. I have 2 books, one I just finished titled How to Starve Cancer and another The Metabolic Approach to Treating Cancer. Anyone out there with advice or success stories they can share with me? Do’s and Don’ts ?

Please enjoy your life. Give your fears to God. Follow-up when asked to for MRI & CT Scans. Do virtual visits with your oncologist.
It was 7 glorious healthy years before c showed up on my scans in my liver. I now am carrying a very heavy cross. Jan 16th 2025. April now and decisions on Y90 with 2 immunotherapy later. With this treatment it could possibly give me 4 years.
I have Big Faith that God has shown up and will do wonders so that I can share my testimony of Faith to others through this journey. I believe!!!
I am very healthy. No ailments. No one can tell what's going on inside of me.

@borschtgirl17, there are a few discussions about Y90, also called radioembolization, regarding liver metastasis, not all are related to melanoma. See the search results here:

PectaSol-C modified citrus pectin is said to slow down the spread of metastases. Also, lactoferrin might be of use. I use both. Best wishes, Paul
