Alternative medicine

Hello! My mother has a lung cancer. It was founded 8 months ago. She started immediately with chemotherapy, because a surgery wasn’t possible in her case, because the tumor is placed exactly in the middle of the two parts of the lung. After the first two months of chemotherapy she was feeling better, but after that the effect of the drugs stopped. After 6 months of chemotherapy she was not feeling very good anymore and the examinations showed that her bronchi got stick. Then she started radiotherapy for some days, but was feeling worse. So she decided to change the doctor and the kind of medical treatment. About two months she didn’t have any treatment, because she was put under different examinations in order to find another treatment. About 10 days ago it was found out, that she has two metastases in the brain. A surgery is now also impossible. So she is making now radiotherapy to the brain metastasis. But at all she lost a lot of weight and doesn’t have appetite. She is also breathing very hard and coughing a lot.
So we are trying to find some medicine, which could be taken along with the radiotherapy and the chemotherapy after that in order to strengthen her immune system and make her breathe better and have appetite. Can somebody recommend something? Thank you very much!

Have you all tried the integrative approach?  I have been doing this for 6 months and feel just great.  

Look up Dr. Keith Block at the Integrative Cancer Center in Evanston, IL for more information

dear i recommend you to keep your mother busy in constructive activities. i know its difficult to do so because she is facing two severe problems at the same time but ask you doctor to refer you some healthy physical activities that your mother can carry out.
