Colon Cancer?

February 6th, 2010

Question by Hold-Em: Colon Cancer?
My brother-in-law has just been diagnosed with colon cancer. Apparently it’s already spread to his liver and lungs. He also has some cysts formed on his kidneys and pancreas. They’ve told him it’s terminal and he has about 3 years to live. The man is only 41! He has 4 young girls, the youngest being 3. He hasn’t started any treatment yet, but they’re going to do a colonscopy, and will remove the colon, then he’ll start chemo. My question: Is there anything out there that could possibly fix the damage done? Any sort of herbal remedies he could try before the doctors start their treatment? What about life insurance? Does anyone know of a company that will cover him? Has anyone recovered from this illness personally? If so, how? We refuse to let him die without first trying every available resource possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If it’s metastastised to other vital organs as indicated by his doctors, it is most likely terminal… no treatment is effective once the disease has gone so far… ask him to enquire from his doctor about Taxol or Baccattin III… these are probably the best medications he can get (Taxol is the best) but they are very expensive and very hard to come by… takes 6 200 year old pacific yews to extract enough Taxol to treat just one patient… Baccattin III is a synthetic drug similar to Taxol but only 1/19th as effective. Best thing in my opinion is for him to take time to come to terms with his condition and try to make the very best of his last few years with his kids, and to prepare them for his inevitable departure.
