Hi everyone, my husband is considering Mistletoe therapy for inoperable lung cancer. Has anyone had this ....and how do you feel now? Would you recommend?
Welcome to Cancer Chat Shoulderhigh, although I’m sorry for the reason that brings you here.
I've had a quick look and there appear to have been a number of studies and trials for mistletoe therapy, but it's not currently licenced for use in the UK. We don't have any specific information about this particular therapy on our website, but we do have some more general information about alternative treatments which I'm including a link to here:
If your husband did want to take a treatment that has not been prescribed by his doctor, then we'd strongly suggest he discuss it with his specialist first.
You are also very welcome to talk to our team of cancer nurses here about mistletoe - and other types - of therapy, if you'd like to. They're available on 0808 800 4040 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm).
