Yes, early stage LC can be cured. However, even the earliest of lung cancers can relapse after standard-of-care therapies such as surgery, chemo and/or radiation. Unless the blood test discussed in the linked and excerpted article below is 100% effective, patients will always worry about a relapse.
I am not a LC survivor. I have been living with an “incurable” cancer called multiple myeloma since 1994. I reached complete remission in early 1999 and I have remained cancer-free ever since. I believe taking the four supplements listed below, curcumin, resveritrol, milk thistle and grape seed extract, are the key to my living cancer-free from my aggressive cancer.
Please be aware that the studies below are animal studies and not FDA controlled research. I am not trying to paint the supplements listed below as some sort of magic cure. What I am saying is that the supplements listed below all can reduce the risk of relapse (for both of our cancers). I take all four supplements and have remained in CR from my cancer.
I believe that cancer patients and survivors must look beyond conventional therapy if they want to beat their aggressive cancers.
Have you been diagnosed with LC? Are you in remission? To learn more about evidence-based non-conventional lung cancer therapies, please scroll down the page, post a question or comment and I will reply to you ASAP.
Thank you,
