My Victory Over Liver Cancer

 

Dear Phillip,

 

I found a lump in my left breast in June 1997. I saw my GP who referred me to a

consultant. He said that, as the lump was on the left side of my breast, I could

have a mastectomy or lumpectomy and removal of 14 lymph glands. I opted for the

lumpectomy and had the operation in July 1997. One of the lymph glands was

affected but I was assured there was nothing to be worried about as " one was the

same as none " . I gather that is still the case, but the tumour had been looked

at and found to be very aggressive, so had spread before the operation.

 

I had 5 weeks' radiation treatment all through September 1997 and was taking

Tamoxifen, which the surgeon prescribed on the first appointment.

 

I was checked regularly at the breast clinic and had my " 5-year check-up " last

15th April 2002. We all agreed it was wonderful that I had made the five-years'

survival mark and we all congratulated each other! I was told I could come off

the Arimidex, which I had taken for the last year as the side-effects of

Tamoxifen had been very unpleasant, and was told I would be expected to return

for a mammogram in two years.

 

After 3 1/2 weeks I noticed a pain in my stomach when I bent over to tie my shoe

laces and also some discomfort. I saw my GP on 9th May who said it was probably

the Voltarol I was taking for the arthritis in my feet, so I stopped taking the

Voltarol. After 3 weeks the feet were agony and the stomach pain rather worse

and I was beginning to feel generally unwell.

 

I saw my GP on 30th May and had a blood test on the 5th June. I saw my GP again

on the 18th June, as I had been busy organizing our ruby wedding lunch on the

15th June in spite of feeling very unwell. He said the blood test indicated

there might be something wrong with my gall bladder and added as an

afterthought, or your liver. Afterwards he said he was sure it was my gall

bladder and so was I, as I had noticed for some time that my stools were very

pale and I was feeling nauseous.

 

As I was now very unwell and had lost well over a stone in weight, without

meaning to(!), the GP advised an ultrasound scan.

 

I had the scan on 27th June and was advised to see my GP as soon as possible. I

saw him the next morning and he had a hand-written note which said " multiple

metastases " in the liver. We were all taken by surprise and rather shattered.

The cancer had spread! He immediately arranged on the phone that I should see an

oncologist on 11th July.

 

The oncologist was very good and explained that it was not possible to operate

or radiate, so the only option was a very powerful concoction of chemotherapy.

He explained it would take 4 ½ - 6 months for the treatment and there was a 60 %

chance it would work and would probably give me 18 months to live. He said if I

did not have the treatment I would be lucky to live for 6 months. I agreed to

have the chemo. He put me on 10 mg Prostigmine BD.

 

I knew I did not want to have chemo but would rather have the 6 months, and I

wanted to be in control of what happened to me.

 

I talked it all over with my husband and children and they were wonderful and

said they would support me whatever I decided to do. So I rang the oncology

department and said I would not be coming for treatment, and they were very nice

about it.

 

As soon as my family and friends heard I was really ill, I was inundated with

" do's " and " don'ts " and " must's and " must nots " . I put them all in a pile as

each one seemed worse than the last. One was a treatment which said one must

have 5 litres of water a day! Among the pile was your book, " Cancer, Why We're

Still Dying to Know the Truth " !!! I did look at it but only dipped into it and

it seemed to me you were running down all the doctors and the whole

pharmaceutical industry.

 

After a couple of weeks I had a look through the pile and found the " blurb "

about cancer and the diet, which our daughter-in-law's parents sent me. They had

a South African friend staying when they heard about me and when he heard I had

terminal cancer said they must send me all the information about Vitamin B17.

 

Well, I read about it and it seemed to me to make a lot of sense and I managed

to track down the kernels. I also read your book!! I started on page 1 and read

it right the way through and it all made sense to me. (I now call it my

" Bible " !!).

 

I wasn't sure what to do so I started with a few kernels and worked up until I

was taking 60 a day which gave me a very sore stomach, so I reduced it to 40. I

began taking them the first week in August, and I put myself on a more or less

vegetarian diet as well. I gradually began to feel better and later went to see

the GP as I was feeling so well. He was delighted and asked if I would have a

blood test to see what was happening. Of course I said yes and had the test on

6th September.

 

I got the result back on Friday 13th! And it was very good. Everything had

improved but the liver function had improved considerably which was odd as I was

9 weeks into my 6 months, so I should have been worse and not better.

 

We were all thrilled and I really was feeling better. The GP said whatever I was

doing, it was working. Because of this, it made me think that if I could improve

by just eating kernels and going vegetarian, what would happen if I went to the

Oasis of Hope clinic of Dr Francisco Contreras for his three-week treatment? We

talked about it and I didn't want to go before hearing from someone who had been

there and, I think thanks to you, I was put in touch with Ann Ryecroft who sang

its praises and encouraged me to go.

 

I and my husband John went to Oasis in Mexico from 3rd -24th October 2002. It

was the most amazing experience and everyone was wonderful. When I left I

brought enough oral and liquid laetrile (Vitamin B17) to last me until the end

of May. It is very reassuring to hear we can get it in this country (at least

for now!).

 

Since returning from Oasis I have had wonderful support from my GP and all at

the surgery, supplying me with syringes and dressings etc.. I was very worried

on New Year's Day when I did the flush on my Hickman Line. It was obvious that

there was a leak somewhere inside me, I saw the GP who referred me to the

hospital where I had the surgery and saw the oncologist. The GP said I might

meet opposition as I'd had it put in in Mexico. To the contrary - they were

wonderful and very supportive and tried their best to operate that day but the

list was too full. I had a new one put in on 15th January 15th 2003 and it has

been fine ever since.

 

I give myself 20cc Laetrile (Kemdalin) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I

take 500mg Kemdalin tablets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and rest on

Sundays. I also take Arimidex each day and Voltarol as prescribed by Oasis and I

take Maximol Solutions, Cascading Revenol and Revenol, Vitamin C tablets, garlic

tablets and glucosomine tablets!!

 

I eat mostly fruit and veg but some chicken and fish as much as possible

organic. I have also invested in all safe household cleaners, soaps, etc., and

personal soap, toothpaste, etc.

 

I had an ultrasound scan on 22nd January and to everyone's amazement all the

tumours had gone! I had never seen the result of the first scan but I did see it

that day and it was plastered with lots of big, black shadows and looked really

sinister. The doctor doing the follow-up scan couldn't believe they had all

gone. I was thrilled, needless to say.

 

I went to see the oncologist on 4th February which was a month after the

deadline he had given me to live! He was delighted to see me looking so well,

but unfortunately he had not seen the scan as it had been at another hospital.

(My problem is that I live on Dartmoor and had the first scan at Torbay

hospital, the surgery at Derriford in Plymouth and the radiation at Wonford

Hospital, Exeter and the second scan at Newton Abbott Hospital!!) He had a

meeting with both doctors who took the scans and then wrote to the GP.

 

" The scans have confirmed a quite marked improvement in her liver metastases

although there is still some residual disease remaining. Clearly this is an

impressive result. " The underlining was his!

 

That completes a rather long account of my experiences and I would like to put

in a good word for the poor old National Health Service. I cannot fault them at

all. I have had wonderful care and treatment from everyone right from the very

beginning, and have been very fortunate since I went alternative in the support

and encouragement I have had from the GP and all the surgery and from the

oncologist and all his staff. He was very interested in what I was doing and

made notes about the kernels and where to get them as well as all about the

treatment at Oasis.

 

He has since referred one of his patients to me as she was quite keen to be

alternative as well as having chemo.

 

Best wishes

PHILLIP DAY'S COMMENT: Mary's story is an inspiration and a great example of a

cancer patient taking the reins and steering their own ship, with some help from

their cancer specialists. It's a partnership, and Mary was fortunate that her

doctors were so understanding and helpful.

 

When my book Cancer: Why We're Still Dying to Know the Truth came out in 1999,

it was hammered up hill and down dale by the medical fraternity for being

'quackery' and 'extreme'. Yet all it points out is the failure of modern

oncology to beat the major epithelial cancers with poisons and radiation, and

nutrition's prime role in giving the body the raw materials it needs to fix

itself. Testimonies such as this have been flooding in since the launch of my

book four years ago.

 

If you are reading this and you have cancer, don't despair! Find out the facts,

just as Mary did, and then act on them, and then we'll see what nature is going

to do for you. Perhaps your story too will have an inspirational and happy

ending.
