This is miraculous. What are the after-effects? Why don't you need to take Ibrance, etc., and an aromatase inhibitor? My Ibrance stopped working.

Hey Blackcat,
So, I was told that I had allot of cancer and too much for surgery. My two oncologist said they had one chance and only one chance to kill the cancer. With that said, they explained that I would be hit with the heaviest dose of treatment that they could give but my life would never be the same.
I’m thankful to be alive and I’ve pretty much adapted to my life as I know it now.
I have chronic migraines which I’m being treated for with Botox; it has helped greatly as I now can tolerate the 5-7 pain rather than constant 9-10.
I have brain fog which slows my thought processes and reaction time. I am fatigued most of the time. I have chronic joint pain and I generate zero saliva which really makes talking difficult.
My throat muscles are very weak and the left side of my tongue is paralyzed which makes eating very difficult.
I’ve had 3 dilations but it didn’t help much so the doctor doesn’t want to do that anymore.
My jaw is very tight and difficult to open my mouth very wide but I’m on a muscle relaxer which does help.
But again, I’m alive!
