Dear fellow fighters,

I just wanted to share with you words from my fathers oncologyst….

Today he had his 3month check up (and his 5th dose of Keytruda) and his largest (5x5cm subcutaneous melanoma) is now smaller than 1cm (it can not bee seen anymore, just felt under skin)…Other smaller ones have completely dissapeared…. She said he has AMAZING results (we just have to wait for CT in May to see how he s doing "on the inside (mets in his lungs)…. She said she has never seen such good results in such a short period on Keytruda…..

Now, what i am aiming at is: My father hasn t changed his diet at all (he is diabetic – but doesn t follow hid diet rigorously). What we did the moment we realized his melanoma has returned, we made him start drinking aronia (chokeberry) juice every day….I have read that it has amazing health benefits, among them also anti cancerous activity and he has been drinking it every day for past 4 months….

Maybe this juice helped him achieve such good results? I really want everyone of you to give it a go, it really can t hurt, because it is really healthy stuff, but we kinda feel it helped him achieve AMAZING (as the doctor put it) results….

Anyway, i just wanted to contribute to this wonderful forum and maybe help in a way…..

Best wishes to all of you….!

Patrisa

  Partrisa! That is fantastic news! Congratulations to you and your father. You may be the first people on this site in a long time actually looking forward to your CT scans. It certainly looks promising.
  
  I have never heard of aronia/chokeberry before. Thanks for putting it on my radar. Always good to put nourishing things into our bodies regardless of any direct effect on cancer.
