Alternative Treatments for Ovarian Cancer?
Question by .: Alternative Treatments for Ovarian Cancer?
Well the news 5 months from diagnosis is in…mom asked and he said the cancer is very agressive and they have to try an ‘experimental’ drug that is out there (clinical trial I assume). Anyways he said he gives her 1 to 2 years and there will be no cure. she was on carboplatnim and went from (after surgery) the 1000’s to 125, now it is going up again.
So is there anything that can be used to help out chemo and give my mom a fighting chance? I’ve seen stuff on Maitake D-Fraction, I3C, ginger, etc.
Is there hope? Can we use alternative treatments to compliment the drugs/chemo?

No. There is nothing like that. Please check the clinical trails website to see what other experimental treatments they are working on:

Best wishes to her.

I’m so sorry. Nothing that I know of. My mother died from breast cancer & I just had a total hysterectomy because I had fibroid tumors in my uterus & a cyst on one ovary. Since I had them for at least a year & have cancer in the family, I opted to get everything removed rather than wait & see what develops. I’ll ask a friend of mine who is an organic gardener & knows a lot about these things. She doesn’t check her phone call/e-mails every day, so give me a couple of days. e-mail me.
