[cancercured] Clint, sudden cancer diagnosis....the next day

Thank you all very much for your help and support. For informational
purposes today I took my mother to her primary MD as a follow-up for
her last hospital visit, of course I used the time to bombard him with
questions. Other than the ususal " Alternative options are not proven"
response, he did say that he and other doctors are beginning to open up
to the idea of exploring other, non-traditional, options.

He said she had developed Thrush from the nebulizer treatments in the
hospital, so that has not helped her appetite, so gave her antibiotics.
He also gave her a stronger anti-D med Lomotil. But this is what is
interesting...he put her on Maritol (spelling), medicinal weed, to help
her get the munchies.

Later this afternoon I talked to a rep from the Cancer Treatment
Centers of America in Philly. He was appalled that the specialist here
treated my mom like she was a statistic and then told me how they
celebrate 5 year survivors of stage IV lung cancer all the time...He
looked at my list of herbs and such and said they use them all, and
many others. Should we make the appt. and go see them? I would
appreciate any thoughts on this.
