Dear Friends,
Please read this remarkable story of hope. My 92 year old mother beat
stage 4 cancer. Her gynecological oncologist at the University of
Pittsburgh Medical Center gave her no hope. Six months later he called
her "MY miracle" to a group of his medical students.
Ursula Fassbach's cancer was ovarian, liver, and more. But the
information in her story, and another article I will tell you about,
may apply to several other cancers.
You will need to go to my Senior website, http://www.seniorark.com. It
is non-profit, and no ads. I have created this large Senior site as a
labor of love. On the home page, click on the link in the right hand
column that begins "AT 92 she..." to go directly to her story. Then go
back to the home page and click on the link in the left hand column
that begins with "Cancer?..."
Anyone with cancer, or with a loved one who has cancer, MUST read
these two items. I hope they will open up a whole new world of hope to
you. If you have any problems reaching the site, or if you have
additional questions, feel free to mail me at seniorark@aol.com . I
will respond as a speacial honor to my Mother.
Best to all, Bob Fassbach

For those who might be wondering what this is about but
don't want to read the whole story, I'll summarize it.
Mr. Fassbach's 92 year old mother appears to have had
a complete remission from very serious cancer. She had
some chemotherapy that was not expected to do more than
delay things a bit, she drank large amounts of red grape
juice (for the resveratrol), and she had a great deal of faith
in God.
No one knows for sure which, if any, of the above was
responsible for her remission.
Stories like this are great but, unfortunately, we cannot
conclude anything from them.
Occasionally people have a dramatic response to chemotherapy.
Occasionally people have a dramatic response to a dietary
change. Occasionally people get dramatic benefits from
a positive, faith based outlook. Occasionally too, people have
"spontaneous remission" of completely unknown cause with
no treatment or lifestyle changes whatsoever.
All I can say is, I'm glad things worked out for the Fassbach
family.
Alan

I'm glad Ursula is doing well, but I'm a skeptic. My sister died of ovarian
cancer at 55, after a five-year battle that took her to some of the best
cancer centers in this country and Europe. (Taxol then was only available in
Europe.) She had surgery, followed by chemo. The only way the docs could be
certain of the chemo's effect was a second surgery, to visually inspect the
abdomen. I am not aware of a blood test or other non-invasive way to know
for certain that ovarian cancer is present or absent.
At 92, Mrs. F. has a very different metabolism that mid-life adults. My
mother will be 98 next week. She has colon cancer and skin cancer, and has
had them both for years. They simply are so slow-growing that they don't
bother her.
