  1. Good Evening All, Thanks for all of your responses. It is very much appreciated. CindyA, I don't believe I was told exactly what type of Lung Cancer it is (Just another reason for a second opinion). The amazing thing about this Oncologist is that he makes a statement, then looks me in my face for a reaction. I guess he is so busy attempting to push my buttons that he is neglecting to tell me everything. Cheryncp123 - I believe they did a genetic testing with my blood sample in order to see if I was to take the oral chemo, and was told that I could not. Don't know if that is the same test, but, I will ask the next time I go back. RandyW, I appreciate the insight. I have done some research outside of these forums, and found that it is all based on an individual basis. I believe the common thread of it all is, once you make the lifestyle changes (food, prayer, excercise, etc), you cannot revert to your old ways. I will you all posted on my progress, and my methodology used. Thanks again
  2. Good Morning Good People! I am very new to this group and discussion board. I was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer. While I am attempting to read the diagnosis with all the different terminology, I can say that It has metastasized to my liver and more recently parts of my brain. I spent a bit of time researching alternative methods (So against Chemo), from the Gerson method to medical cannibis drops. I am really looking for a holistic approach and have attempted to change my diet as well. I have been attending what I would consider a "teaching school' hospital here in Long Island, New York. With that being said, the Oncologist is just bent on (1) there is no cure, (2) chemotherapy is my only answer, and (3) this may buy me an additional three months or so on my life. I have an appointment with the radiologist next week to discuss the approach to the new nodes in my head. I guess my question is; am I looking to deeply into the process? Does anyone have any great solid advice or leads that I can look into? I have heard, read and seen a few survivor stories even on CNN and Al Jazeera America about the success of medical marijuana and would rather take my chances with that. Am I wrong?
