HI- I am stg 3 NED after a PET scan week before last. I still have a drain from a Dec 8 surgery to remove an affected lymph node in my groin. I also have a post on this site titled "Which way to turn, Interferon or surgery?". My nodes under my arms are swollen still also.
In any case, I'm a long time advocate of "You are what you eat" and have had a fairly healthy diet all my life. I haven't had a hot dog since the World Series of 1978. I have also done a considerable amount of research and have had several friends hunting and filtering alternatives for me.
To cut to the chase and respond to your question, I would say that your concept is valid, and from what I have seen, vitamin therapy in large doses, alkaline food and water, exercise, elimination of all junk from your diet,organ cleansing, etc are all contributing factors in prevention, and sometimes (maybe rarely) in curing cancers.
I think you are on the right track but need to be educated by someone who has the knowledge and experience to tailor a more specific and intense regimen. This disease is insidious and more than likely will pop up again. You should step up your research and try to find a naturpath / nutritionist familiar with your situation and get a consultation asap. Get a good alkaline water maker…
Best of luck Pepper

Wow…You are experienced Charlie. I still can't beleive I'm 60! Your advice seems very sound and your comment re: drains is well taken. This was not really explained well by anyone I have seen. Just – "You could experience wound problems and fluid could build up in the surgical area".
I will also take your advice and demand more thorough explanations.
I am seeing another group at Sylvester Cancer Center in Miami, but am also working on traveling to New York and D.C. to see someone at Sloan- Kettering before I embark on anything. i hope I will find someone I am confident in soon.
Thanks for your commentary .
Take care and best of luck to you

King- thanks for the vote of confidence..I guess. I am wondering about what you mean by Melanoma hospitals. Do we consider Moffitt a Melanoma hospital, or are you referring to hospitals that deal only with melanoma?
I have several friends filtering internet research for me and there are some really amazing stories, testamonials, and convincing programs out there. How many of these do you suspect are sales pitches, wishful thinking, or straight hogwash?
I am really looking for a team that incorporates medicine and nutrition. Someone that sees the value of combining the successes of the traditional & alternative . I hope I find a group I can have confidence in before long…
Hang in there King. Sounds like you are a tough and determined man.
Thanks for your thoughts

Thanks for the comments King.
To answer your questions…The 3-5% figure is what my surgeon and a medical Oncologist he works with have stated. I have not explored further.
As far as the "incomplete" surgery goes, no, there was no melanoma left in the area. I just had a negative PET scan…
The wound problems the surgeon at Moffitt spoke of would include everything from infections, to backed up lymph fluid requiring periodic drainage and physical therapy, and even possible auto-immune diseases (colitis, etc.). This is what I have understood in any case.
I am going f5f to get an appointment at another hospital for a third opinion but am leaning towards the Moffitt option. I wish I could find a Dr. there that included nutrition geared for the disease in the plan. It seems none of the M.D.'s hold much stock in nourishing the body with clean food, etc.
I thank you and the other people that have responded to my question for their interest and kind words.
Best of luck to you
