Hello and thanks for your post

I'm sorry to read about your situation and can appreciate you are going through a lot and hope you have plenty of support.

People vary in the side effects they experience. It is important to let your chemotherapy department or GP know how you are feeling. They can assess you and prescribe you some medications to help manage your symptoms.

You might find your hospital has a Macmillan drop-in or a well-being centre where you can get support. Maggie's provides a variety of support for people affected by cancer. The cancer care map also lists local support services.

If you were looking for support in the way of counselling, Macmillan Cancer Support along with Bupa offers four free counselling sessions to cancer patients.

There is no scientific evidence to show that fenbendazole (deworming tablets) work in people and tablets that are used for animals can actually be dangerous.

Some time ago there was some anti cancer data with fenbendazole, but the work was done on cells and mice in the laboratory and not in people.

There is also no scientific evidence to prove that any type of alternative therapy can help to control or cure a cancer. Some alternative therapies might also be unsafe and cause harmful side effects. 

We would always encourage people to talk to their cancer doctor, GP, or specialist nurse if they are considering using any complementary or alternative therapies. Some treatments may interact with current medications.

I hope this is of some use. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes,

Celene

Hi Celene, I wonder if Cancer Research UK could consider funding research into Fenbendazole and antihelmintics more generally? I'm a cancer survivor full belt and braces chemo, radio, surgery.., but my aunt who was diagnosed after me was not doing well under regular treatment and things were looking increasingly dire, until she additionally went on a regimen with antihelmintics prescribed by an alternative practitioner - and her cancer markers that were ever rising (metastatic bc) are now plummeting (to the surprise of her regular docs who would likely have warned her off like you did above).

I imagine some people turning to you are patients for whom other treatments have stopped working, and who have not much to lose. So it would be great if CRUK could be really careful not to blanket warn people off treatments that may in fact work. Even I would have read your statements on it and thought 'reasonable' if it weren't for my aunt. Her success also makes me totally believe Joe Tippins. If you have not read it, please do read his entire blog The Blog – Get Busy Living. You might also wish to read these case studies, to see some verified examples of successful cancer treatment involving fenbendazole: https://www.scitechnol.com/peer-review/fenbendazole-enhancing-antitumor-effect-a-case-series-2Kms.php?article_id=14307

I know it's true that "there is no clinical evidence", but where will this clinical evidence come from since pharma companies will not make money off a medicine that will then be available off-license (and may even reduce the need for their current licensed drugs). A charity needs to step in, I think, for the good of the patients. 

Would be great to hear your thoughts.
