Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi everyone, After reading your post on the cancer cure groups regarding the osteosarcoma, I checked with my sons doctor in Mexico regarding alternative treatment for osteosarcoma with metasis to the lungs and he says the best treatment would be stem cell therapy combined with a metabolic therapy. if you want to discuss this further feel free to give me a call at: 269-876-8475 or respond to this email and I can go into more detail with you.

I so admire your courage and strength, especially being a single mom myself who has fought many battles on behalf of my kids. You are just amazing! Where can I get a copy of your book? I would really love to read the whole story. You are an inspiration to both cancer patients and single parents everywhere! Congratulations for all you have accomplished (and suffered) for your child!
