Hi, I had never heard of Black Salve so I looked it up on the internet, you have to wade through the for & against but personally I wouldn't touch it!! Make sure you read: Don't Use Corrosive Cancer Salves (Escharotics) Regards BJS ... View more

I was so sorry to read your story, you must feel the medical profession has let you down badly. My husband has stage 4 Osophageal cancer. He had suffered in the past from reflux, we were never made aware by the doctors that this can lead to cancer of the oesophagus & if we had know this he could have had regular check ups in which case this might have been caught in the early stages. Even when he was having trouble swallowing certain foods & I took him to the doctors they just kept giving him tablets until I'd finally had enough & insisted they investigate by putting a tube down his throat & having a proper look, when this procedure was done they found the cancer. There's so much we don't know & you would think the "experts" would be the ones to keep us informed! Sometimes life really sucks & there's nothing we can do about it! My thoughts & prayers are with you & your daughter. BJS ... View more

Hi Maddie, That will be hard news for your boyfriend, when he was expecting the colostomy bag to be only temporary. I hope you manage to keep his spirits up, as you said at least the cancer in his bowel has gone & he is still alive. Make sure he realises he is lucky in so many ways. Good Luck BJS ... View more

Hi Sailor, I had previously read your blog on Diet Changes as well as others that advocate special diets. I guess I'm just getting reassurance that I'm doing everything possible to help my husband fight his cancer. I did phone the cancer help line the other day & they are sending out some diet information. Thanks for the feed back. Regards BJS ... View more
