I was in stage 4 of lung cancer when it was found . I’ve have had a trial cancer treatment of chemo/immunotherapy and it did not put the cancer in remission . I’ve been told that there is nothing more that can be done except chemo that only has a 30 percent chance of putting it in remission . Any suggestion on any other type of treatment that might giving me more time to live ?

Members rallied around someone facing stage 4 small cell lung cancer with limited treatment options, offering encouragement to seek second opinions, explore additional clinical trials, and consider targeted therapies based on genetic testing for mutations like MET Exon 14. Several members shared alternative approaches they have personally tried or researched, including high-dose vitamin C IVs, the Joe Tippens Protocol with fenbendazole, dietary changes emphasizing fruits and vegetables while reducing sugar and processed foods, and various supplements. A recurring theme was the power of faith, staying positive, never giving up hope, and remembering that no change in cancer progression is better than spreading, with many emphasizing that miracles happen and technology is constantly evolving.

Sue Arnold,
What type of cancer do you have and are there any bio-markers or genetic mutations? For stage 4 cancer, systemic therapy (chemo-immunotherapy) is the only course of action. Radiation can be used to reduce pain caused by a troublesome tumor, but not to kill all the tumors.
During the trial, what were the drugs used on you? In trials, one group is given the drugs being evaluated and the other group gets an approved treatment for the type of cancer and genetic variation being evaluated. It is important that you know what drugs you were previously given.

Sue,
I agree with Sunni by getting a 2nd opinion & also seeking out other trials...
Not sure what hospital has been treating you..... But maybe seek treatment elsewhere..... There is always hope !!!! Stay strong 💪🏻 & keep a positive attitude !! & get a team of Doctors that are gonna fight for you.... ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Hugs & Continuous Prayers,
Bonnie

Have you considered a 2nd opinion?

I recommend high dose vitamin C IVs. I have been doing 100g vitamin C IVs weekly and had my blood tested right after the first IV and my vitamin C level was 460ng/dl. According to one study I read if the vitamin C levels are 350ng/dl or higher, cancer cells are killed by the peroxide that is generated by the metabolism of the vitamin c in the extracellular layer of cancer cells. Unfortunately vitamin C has a short half life in the blood stream (2 hours). So even though I am able to get my plasma levels over 350, they don’t stay there very long; maybe a couple of hours. It is eliminated quite rapidly by the kidneys. So if you have any issues with your kidney function you probably would not want to try this.
