Taking chemo with a poor prognosis is not at all a good idea in my opinion. The oncologist has basically admitted defeat in advance yet is going to go ahead with a treatment that kills more people than it saves and only has a 2% overall success rate across the board for cancers (and a virtually zero success rate for metastic cancer). I would venture that besides the fact that doctors have not been trained in how to really cure and prevent cancer other than the failed mainstream methods of trying to cut out, burn out or poison out the symptoms of cancer there might be another consideration: 75% of the income of oncologists is derived from the markup of the chemo drugs they sell and administer. While 75% of oncologists surveyed said they would not opt for chemo for themselves or their family due to the lack of success and horrific side effects, they nevertheless prescribe chemo for 75% of their patients. Is something wrong with this picture?
The first thing chemo does is attack the immune system - most of which is in the stomach and digestive system - and that is the very thing that needs to be protected and boosted to help effect a long term cure.
Okay, off my soap box. How long does the doctor give her? If it is at least a few months or more then there is a good chance she might be saved by the protocol listed below this post. The chances would be much better if she did not have chemo, but if she is determined to have the chemo, oleander helps the success rates of chemo a great deal and also either eliminates or greatly lessens virtually all known chemo side effects. Essiac tea also helps with chemo side effects.

I can assure you that the women who left to have a natural treatment did not have the one I suggest. I can understand her attitude but to condemn all natural and alternative methods because one failed makes little sense if she thinks about it. That is akin to saying someone she knew ate a poisonous plant and died and so she will never eat vegetables. There are over 350 different natural and alternative cancer treatments. Because one treatment failed for one person does not mean that all treatments fail for all people.
Does she understand how chemo works? It poisons the entire body and devastates the immune system and major organs, especially the liver, in an attempt to poison out the cancer before it kills the patient. More people who opt for chemo die from the chemo damage (usually liver failure) than die from the cancer.
I don't mean to be grim here, but I would like to help you save your mother's life. Chemo will not do it and is a mistake. If she has Chemo by itself it will be a fatal mistake. Not MAY be but WILL be.
Now, if your mother uses oleander with the chemo, she might survive and be cured. There is a decent chance. Her chances will be considerably greater if she uses oleander and the protocol I suggest without chemo.
Take a look at the following table for chemo success rates. It shows a five year survival rate of ONLY 1.4% for breast cancer - and the ones who survive are virtually all patients who had not had prior cancer and did not have metasticized cancer. Chemo and radiation both are almost never successful against cancer that has spread.
The following table was published in the journal Clinical Oncology in December 2004. The results of this study were astonishing, showing that chemotherapy has an average 5-year survival success rate of just over 2 percent for ALL cancers!
If you are concerned about preventing cancer - and it appears that you should be - my strong suggestion is to take the anti-cancer protocol I posted here and follow the advice about diet, lifestyle (though you could be a bit less strict with the diet), removal of toxins (especially amalgam fillings) and strress removal and then take all the general vitamin and mineral supplements recommended (or make sure you get them via your diet and, in the instance of Vitamin D3, from daily sunshine). They are all important - particularly Vitamin D3, iodin and the trace minerals.
The only "strong" cancer fighting and immune boosting supplement you should need is oleander - and you can take a much lesser amount for prevention that for actively fighting cancer - perhaps a single dose or less every other day should be plenty. What I do is once or twice a year, just in case, take a full cancer fighting dose two to three times daily for a month and then back off to a single dose every other day in between. A good cleanse and detox three or four times a year would also be a good idea.
