Dear members,

My father is diagnosed with stomach cancer and Chemo treatment did not work for him; no results whatsoever! His tumer grew and got to the area around his lungs. He is considered stage IV. Doctors just gave us the news that he has about 8 months to live. I beg for someone to give me guidance! what alternatives do I have? any recommended centers that treat patients like my father's case, keep in mind chemo didn't work. Any suggestions are highly appreciated! Please, I'm desperate!

Thank you

Hi, I am so sorry about your father's diagnosis and that chemotherapy does not seem to be doing anything. I wish I knew of other options for you. I read in another post by you that your father is at MD Anderson? That is a wonderful research hospital. If any place has other options for your father it would be them. Keep working with your father's medical team.

I will keep you and your father in my thoughts and prayers.

it is affordable and has a satisfaction gaurantee with it

And what exactly do they do when it doesn't work and the person dies because they opted not to go with conventional treatment? I'm real curious as to what they give survivors with the "satisfaction guarantee".

Note that rootsman sent me a personal message pushing the same miracle cure. If it looks like advertising, and it quacks like advertising, it just may be advertising.

Rootsman post with his advertisement is gone. I'm sorry he bothered you with his mess. There is nothing more cruel then someone trying to sell something to people who are fighting the fight of their lives and are trying everything "legit" to help, and all these people want to do is make profit off of this disease.
