Hello. Does your mother have lung cancer? Does your doctor know about the herbal medicine? Please be careful of unauthorized medicine or medicines that haven't been proven to work. Are there plans for any treatments for her? Unfortunately back pain can come from a number of things. Please keep us updated!

1 ReactionYes she was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer in the month of May ......can you tell me your diet
Hi- Let me tell you a bit about myself. I have a type of cancer that has recurrences. So I have had 4 lung cancers over a period of 21 years. I just found out that a new lesion has changed and it might be my 5th. I wont know more until Feb. when I have another CT scan. There are many types of lung cancer. Do you know the type that your mom has? Before we get into my diet I am concerned about your mom taking Oncotame. This is an herbal remedy for metastatic cancer. Has your mom's cancer spread to another part of her body? Was Oncotame prescribed by her doctor? Are there plans for further treatment at all, or has your mom chosen not to do anything but control her symptoms such as pain. My diet isn't very special. I eat in moderation- 4 times a day with protein, starch and fruits and vegetables and nuts/seeds. I drink lots of water. I quit smoking 21 years ago and I really only drink alcohol when I go out to dinner, which isn't as often as I would like. lol. There aren't any special "cancer" diets, really there aren't. We can only strive to stay as healthy as we can. I also walk, and do weights. Even with a very healthy person diet alone wont keep someone well, they have to move. However if your mom has chosen not to have any treatments and ride out the cancer than if I were her I'd eat anything I could tolerate, and anything I'd want.

1 ReactionHello ...Oncotame is been advised by the doctor ....it was said that the medicine will start working by three months.....my mum has that very pricking pain on her left shoulder and arms ....so the doctor also prescribed painkillers ....so she is taking Oncotame and painkillers
Can you tell me what treatments have been suggested? Is the doctor that she is seeing an oncologist?
Surgery chemo or radiation......but she won't undergo all those treatments.....
This is good. Best of luck to you and your mom of course. Please keep us updated
Keep us in prayer....our God is a miracle working God.....praise God
I'm sure that we all are wishing and praying for the best for your mom.
On the month of May she has undergone all types of scan and there she was diagnosed with lung cancer stage two......and after that we have gone through only natural treatments....just a month back she has started taking Oncotame an ayurvedic medicine for cancer .....the doctors of this specialist told that this medicine will start to arrest the cancer cells after 3 months
