Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hi, A former brother in law [My first wife passed away in 1973] was found to have a chronic Leukemia in 1993 or 94. The doctor's watched the white count and when it got to a high level administered three rounds of chemo. After that [my knowledge of the exact course of events is a little sketchy] he developed Lymphoma. There is speculation that the chemo for the Leukemia eliminated enough of the immune system that the Lymphoma was able to get started.] Since that time Jim was on all kinds of chemo. When we heard about it we sent a tape and Jim had also used Flaxseed Oil faithfully. My contact has been very limited, but I understand that several times in the past years he was told to get his affairs in order. The doctors could not understand how well Jim was holding up to the chemo treatmenst and how well he was doing as the chemo did not appear to be successful. They knew he was using Flaxseed Oil but dismissed that as of no consequence. A few months back he was told that they could do no more chemo as it would kill him. They put him on some kind of cancer medicine in pill form. His wife did not know what it was. He went down hill and the time left was not long. If it were possible to go back to the time the Leukemia was first detected and go with Flaxseed Oil from there I wonder what might have happened. Unfortunately, we can only go around once and we can't do it both ways. Chemo can be deadly stuff. The idea is, I understand, that the chemo will hurt the cancer cells more than the rest of the body and the rest of the body will hopefully recover. Jim went into a coma and passed away March 1, 2000. Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
