Hi, my grandmother recently went to the hospital to do a blood transfusion due to anemia. The doctor initially thought she had micro rectal bleeding, there is no visible blood in the stool and her bowel movement is normal (no signs of obstruction). So they performed a CT scan. However, the scan reveals possible colon cancer which may have already spread to the liver. My grandma is in her late 80s and has type 2 diabetes and hypertension but is otherwise healthy and active (She can take care of herself fine and doesn't need any assistance).
The hospital surgeon suggests immediate colonoscopy and biopsy to confirm if it's cancerous, then possibly surgery or chemo therapy afterward. I think even biopsy might be too much for her given her age. But everybody else in the family 'believe in the doctor' and wants her to go through the procedures. My grandma on the other hand doesn't want to stay a moment longer in the hospital and wants to go home. She's not against the idea of biopsy but she said if it's already metastasized and spread to the liver, she rather do nothing.
My grandma is about 4′ 8″ and weighs about 65 pounds. Other than the metformin and ACE inhibitors doctors prescribe her, she also takes vitamin B1 250mg, B2 100mg, B12 1000mcg, E 500IU and 50mg of aspirin daily. She stopped aspirin a few month ago after her blood test showed low hemoglobin. I did some research on the forum and found vitamin D, B3, B1 to be therapeutic for cancer. I am thinking of giving her:
30000IU of vitamin D
1g of B3
A few drops of progest E I got recently.
Up her B1 dosage to 750mg
Maybe 2mg of cyproheptadine, but I afraid it might cause constipation and increase her endotoxin
Anyways, any advice / suggestion / comment will be appreciated.
Thanks
