The Big C makes some ppl lose their minds
I've had some wild cures suggested when some of my friends and acquaintances have heard my having the big C.
I just have to share this doozy. Within 5 minutes of hearing about my cancer via her mother in conversation this person showed up on my driveway and was not invited up as I am low on cells in chemo so talked up to me and my hubby on the veranda.
She has this 'friend' who had bc who got this special blood test done and sent it overseas to a German laboratory for special dna and enzyme testing or something to accurately tell exactly what sort of cancer it was. Then it was $7000 for this person to purchase the 'cure' to be sent back.
Reminds me of the Batman Dark Knight movie with Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Someone mentions the big C and everyone loses their minds!

I want one of those magnets!
Oh my If I had a dollar for every email, phone call and text and facebook post that my daughter and I received about the oil " it shrinks tumors you know" mmmm her tumor was removed der!! lol
Garlic, turmeric oh! the list goes on even her own stupid father wanted to give her mass amounts of some sort of vitamin c that you cant buy in Australia (um hell NO) and he got really cranky when I told him she couldn't have that with chemo uggg
At least they give us a laugh
Cheers Sue xx
Yes but the sad thing is some people are so desperate they will do anything and people pray on that vulnerability. It makes you disgusted.
Yes those miracle cures!
We all need to be very cautious as there are people out there that are willing to rip off cancer patients looking for that miracle cure. From 'healers' charging $500 an hour to help with positive thoughts to eating and not eating certain foods, i have heard about it all too.

Correct Donna! As if I would be even remotely interested in taking the very drug that has ruined my own sons life! Yes we are still dealing with him on top of my diagnosis! I do understand that the oil used in such treatments has the high producing factor taken out of it and it has pro even effective for children's illnesses. When I objected, my friend said well it's no worse than what's going to get shoved into you anyway! ....?It scary enough without comments like that.... ot helpful at all
Thanks for the magnet giggle Ruth.
Hi Brenda
Interesting topic. It brings out the weird and wacky in people.
My mum, who I used to think had her head screwed on quite well, once told me about the 'miracle cure' of the child of a friend of a friend (there were a lot of people in between her and the child). The 'cure' was mass prayer, and I'm not bagging prayer, but I couldn't believe that she was convinced any of this story was true without first-hand information. She seemed equally surprised that I wasn't amazed.
I have a magnet on my fridge that says 'Did you eat a bowl of stupid for breakfast?'. My threshold for saying that to people has dropped dramatically since this bc nonsense.
Best wishes :)
Yes lots of special diets and illicit drugs suggested on face book. Some times whispered via pm. I just thank them very much and leave it at that. They aren't that pushy and its kind of nice that they do care.
Actually while I am doing next to nothing day by day its a welcome thing to read all my friends face book walls. It helps pass the time.
Hey Brenda, I refuse to give cancer the big c, it stays a little c that I'm gonna stomp all over! "My friend" told me how her mum was cured by a vegetarian juiced diet, I'm really happy for her.
