Denise, the only thing I can reply to regarding your question, is the fact I am a member of Daily Wire, and recently someone on that site recommended I look into fasting for my cancer (lung). She had stage 3 cervical I believe. She was a scientist, so she knew how to deep dive into research. She said she did a 3 day fast before chemo (I'm not sure the course time of her treatment) and when they finally checked her again, the cancer was gone. She has been in remission for 2 years. She too is all for alternative medicine. She fully believes the fasting helped. I surely hope something works for you.

@nannybb Personally I am not into alternative treatments unless they are backed by clinical trials in humans, not mice. I am aware that Mayo Clinic was holding such a human clinical trial but I don’t know what the outcome has been. Perhaps someone knows?

I was diagnosed with stage 4 appendix cancer in 2021 - a rare and aggressive disease. After substantial treatment including chemo and immunotherapy I have been NED (no evidence of disease) coming up for 4 years.

My oncologist is also an associate professor who was happy for me to try alternative treatments if I wished to as long as I worked with him so he could ensure what I was proposing to do wasn’t undermining my conventional treatment (which also included holistic remedies such as aromatherapy, massage, nutrition, exercise etc).

I ended up not using any alternative remedies. With me we found my best approach was not to fast but to eat the most nutritious food in about 6-8 small meals when I could.

I too am interested in what the latest research shows as my cancer isn’t curable and it will come back. Every tool we can add to the tool box is wonderful
