HI there, I'm Michael Jacobs and have squamous cell carcinoma that metastasized from my neck and first landed on my liver then went to my sixth rib and pelvic area. I have found that the chemo we just tried is too much for me. I did three different compounds that put me in the hospital for six days with my immune system wiped out. I've decided NO MORE CHEMO for me. My oncologist wants to put me on immunotherapy but after reading up on the side effects I'm not doing that either. Does anyone here have any experience with ivermectin and fenbendazol? My wife and I have been reading some life experiences of people that have had their cancer go into remission and are completely clear with this. It certainly can't be any worse than the chemo.

Treatment decisions after difficult chemotherapy experiences are deeply personal, and it's completely understandable to seek alternatives when standard treatments have been challenging. While some patients share stories about various alternative approaches online, it's important to discuss any treatment changes with healthcare providers who understand the full medical picture. Many cancer centers offer integrative medicine programs that combine evidence-based treatments with supportive therapies, and some patients find value in seeking second opinions about treatment options that might be better tolerated.
