After one year of Issels Treatment Carol Gayle in her own words: March 17, 2008: “I’ve been on the Issels Program for a year. Every three months I have my CT scans and bone scans and every time I’ve gone since a year ago they have been improved. My tumors have decreased in size every time, there’s no new cancer showing and I continue to be on the Issels Treatment and it’s done very well for me.” In March 2009 Carol reports to be in very good condition. TheIssels Treatment is a comprehensive immunotherapy program that integrates the most effective state-of-the-art technologies, such as advanced cancer vaccines, and other safe and scientifically validated therapies.

My grandmother has cancer that has spread to her liver. Her lungs are gathering fluid already, but recently her feet have begun to gather fluid. Is there something we can do to reduce or stop the fluid build-up in her feet?

My mother has this and they’ve said chemo will not change her prognosis. If she gets the chemo, there is a 4 out of 5 chance it won’t work, if she gets it there is a 1 out of 5 chance it will. It will most likely make her sick while she is on it, and if it does work it will only extend her life about 3 to 8 months if it goes into hybernation, but it will eventually return. her life expectancy is less than 6 months, chemo may only extend it a few months. If she gets radiation to the bones where she is in a lot of pain, she will feel better in a few doses, and with her pain meds she will feel pretty well for a while with almost no side effects, except fatique, but it will not extend life and she could have less than 3 months of survival. She doesn’t really want the chemo, and neither does my Dad, for them quality of life is more important then length, and she doesn’t want people to see her go through the chemo. Does anyone have info on this what would u do? we have second opinion friday
