So you are still in India and have chosen to go to an herbal cancer clinic. May I ask if this was your mother's choice?
I'm in India only....the doctor prescribed to take Oncotame twice a day but from today she is is gonna take only once in a day
ah- are you in the US now? My mom visited India way back in my young adult life, before I had cancer.
I'm from Indian , Nagaland
Good morning. I was going to write you to see how your mom is doing. Morphine is a good drug for pain. If she is still in pain then your doctor should be told. Also maybe warm compresses might help, or a heating pad on low. Can she move her arm at all? Has her cancer moved to other parts of her body? May I get personal and ask if what region you live in? I am here in the USA, Rhode Island I travel to see my surgeon and oncologist to Boston.
Hello .....to ease her pain she is prescribed morphine by the doctor .....she has started with 10 mg
@samanthaezu, I searched for research articles and clinical trials regarding Oncotame. Currently, there appears to be no scientific evidence that this herbal formula is effective in treating cancer. The Sino Vedic Cancer Clinic has a research page, but has not published any research articles to substantiate their claims.
I am not disputing that herbs may play a role in complementary therapies along with cancer treatment. However, I caution about expecting herbal forumlas alone to cure cancer or to alleviate pain.
It is difficult to watch our loved ones suffer. I applaud you for searching for answers for your mother. I encourage to seek the advice of a cancer specialist (oncologist) and, if possible, a pain specialist. Is there a cancer center in your region?
I did check on it when you first wrote about it. It says nothing about pain Samantha. It says a lot about what it can do but I have googled this asking several things and there is no information about medical testing or reviews to see if this even works. There is a lot that can be done, through science, that can help with stage 2 cancers. By the time that the 3 months takes to work with Oncotame, the cancer might have spread beyond what can helped. Are you sure that this is the route that your mom wants to take? Please know that I am not judging you, but what she is taking is not working, as you said. I can only offer advice that has been proven by s.cience that works to help with pain
Oncotame you can check in the internet
As I mentioned she is taking Oncotame....I think you didn't get it....
