I did it

http://livingwithsynovialsarcoma.blogspot.com/2015/05/surgery-update-3.html?m=1

After a year and a half of trying alternatives I finally had the amputation of my left arm to remove my large (and only) tumor. Clear margins and no sign of spread anywhere.

What alternatives did you try? After 2 years, 2 surgeries, chemo( tumors grew from 5 to 17 on that) , and now multiple tumors are back in abdomen with a vengeance, I am ready to try alternatives. Has anyone tried raw food, hydrogen perioxide, Haelan 951, PawPaw or colloidal silver. At this point I am running out of options. Hope and pray all is well with you. This disease sucks!

Great smile! I'm glad the surgery went well. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife for a speedy recovery.

Thank you! It was a long time coming and I wasted a lot of time putting all my hopes in alternatives alone. I now plan to continue most of my alternatives to help keep the cancer from returning. For alternatives I went to medical marijuana, Also an off label investigative drug treatment through wwww.neoplas.org, and finally supplements through a naturopathic doctor who specializes in cancer, www.lexingtonnaturalhealth.com who also had me change my diet. Hope that helps! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Cantrell at neoplas he truly cares. Happy to talk more!

I'm so glad you found peace with this decision and chose to fight for your life. My son has ss in his neck and amputation is not an option, should it ever return. A limb is a small price to pay for longevity and peace of mind. You have your whole life ahead of you now and you know you've done everything within your power!

Here's a link to an interview with Amy Purdy, who lost both of her legs at 19 due to bacterial meningitis. She's proven that she could rewrite the script for her future and reach for even greater dreams: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2huk53

I wish you and your lovely wife the very best.

Johnboy, I am so pleased for you about the clear margins. I hope you will keep posting as you adjust to this big change. It will help others wrestling with the same decision later on. Very best wishes to you for swift healing and a smooth adjustment.
