Question
My Sister age 52 was diagnosed with malignant melanoma  3 years ago on her face it was cut out 3 years later a lump appeared on her back numerous scans showed it is in both her lungs,her brainher bowel and ? her spine through the back lump
how can you determine 6-9 months  the symptoms are tyred and feeling sick in the stomach and if it is in so many places why are they putting her through such horiffic treatment  .also have you heard of zeolife it is said to kill free radicals passing through the blood   please help

Answer
I'm sorry to read about her and your problems! Unfortunately with such an advanced disease it will probably kill her and the time frame given unfortunately looks reasonable! Even so they are trying with what they have to prolong her survival though I doubt it will work. The method you mention just does not work AT ALL as a cancer therapy I'm sorry to say! I'm sorry I have nothing better to tell you!
