hi there. Im new to this particular subject. Im having an examination done this coming thursday for suspected bccs on my face.
i want to know what sort of treatments are available now for skin cancers, apart from cutting?
I have not much idea at all and would like to know a little bit about it all when the dr is talking with me on thursday. In the drs surgery i may not be able to take it all in at once. If i have some time reading up on various treatments it wont be so strange or stressful for me. I would like to be in a position where I can have a say as well. If i dont know about anything Im not able to comment at all. thanks so much judykaren

| There's a lot here on the forum, both in the background material and in the forum threads. Included are several rather hopeful topical applications that various forum contributors are trying out. You may decide to have surgery to deal with one or more spots at this time, but my suggestion is that you roam carefully through this forum to find out information for the future. Be aware of the SEARCH function, so that if you become interested in a certain topic or treatment, you can quickly find a lot of material that is often scattered throughout the threads. I came to this forum when a facial BCC (near my eye) was doctor diagnosed and surgical treatment was planned (and done). Through reading here I became aware that I would have to prepare against future incidents, and spots then left untreated. Since that original incident, the forum has been of great benefit to me. Good luck with whatever path(s) you follow! |

o.k.... here is an update for everyone.
Im well into my course of tumorX tabs.. taking sometimes ten a day sometimes more. Depends on how i feel at the time... its working well apart from pain in my feet and ankles.. all the arthritic areas are very sensitive right now. Im not feeling much tireder than i was which is good.. no nausea to speak of, only yesterday when i had a high dose of tumorX.(full dosage which was 16)
I have at least four decent sized bccs sprouting around my chest area. The first one to come through is not looking real good. Im a bit confused here with it at the moment. the scab on it is nearly off, there is white cancer underneath but it doesnt look like its wanting to separate at all. In fact it looks to me like its bigger than the open sore on the top..... lol..is that possible??
Im keeping it moist and clean.. using peroxide and then some vaseline. Im not able to use bandaids as im reacting to them .
This particular cancer has been exposed now for about a week. How long does it take for them to come out completely??... can i use something else on it, now that there is an open wound over it?? im not in pain with it...only when i apply pressure.
I do have some petty spurge...i have more bloodroot...so can i apply more of anything to it??. im frightened of ending up with a huge hole there...I dont want that.
How long does it normally take for the ischars to pop out?? how long have others here had to wait??...and, can i hurry it along or am i being too impatient?? all advice greatefully received judych |

| Hi, can anyone advise me, i had a small crusted spot with raised edges close to my nose for around 3 years, as this never healed i went one year ago to see a dermatologist. He said it was a bcc and treated it with laser hypethermia (no biobsy). I had around 5 sessions of this therapy, around 9 months later i went back to the doctor as i noticed a similar spot above the old treatment site, he said he suspected a new bcc so treated it with laser again. Went back for a check up as i noticed there was still a very tiny spot with dry scaly edge, the doctor said we will leave it for now. As i had noticed a slight tightening of the skin on my nose and the skin feld hard with leathery feel i was concerned that perhaps a larger area was involved. After reading the information on this site I started using orange oil 3 days the aubergine & vinegar mix 3 days, now on day 10. When i applied the orange oil on the spot and surrounding area it did sting alot and seems to have highlighted an area from the corner of my eye half way down the side of my my nose, this area is swollen but not open and the skin looks lighter in colour. The stinging is less now but how long should i keep up this treatment and any other advice would be welcome. I am living abroad and the standards of healthcare are very different from my home country. |

| Hi hope123. My experience with orange oil is that it is slow so that treatments last around two months. That is not really a bad thing because there is little fear of drastic changes, but it does try one's patience and faith to keep going that long. The lessening of the intensity of stinging should be a good indication of progress. I think it also helps to take pictures to compare progress from week to week. I think it is great to combine treatments (orange oil, aubergine and vinegar) as you are doing. I wish you the best! |

| Thanks Dan, i will try keep it up although finding it difficult as the area thatis swolen is all the way into the eye socket. I have noticed now that the outline of the swollen area has turned red so something is going on, the other thing is that when i first apply the orange oil after 3 days using the aubergine & vinegar there is again tremendous stinging felt, wonder if anyone else had this experience. Do you think if i was able to purchase some DMSO and mix this with the aubergine & vinegar mix would this speed things up? |

Hi hope123, I do not have much experience with the aubergine (eggplant) and vinegar remedy, but DMSO should help it penetrate better. Be careful to find a pure DMSO source because it potentially will carry any impurities with it into the skin.
Usually inflammation is a good indicator that orange oil is working. Having the treatment define the area seems like very good progress to me. The stinging can get worse for a week or two before getting better. There is a concern about a possible allergic reaction from orange oil but I think that would be very rare. For me, the inflammation greatly cleared up if I took a day or two off. It was just a matter of keeping with it until my pictures at 3 weeks proved I was really on the right track, then it became psychologically much easier. But this treatment is very experimental and you will have to decide if you are on the right track or if you should try something else. Keep in touch! |

Hi Dan, thanks so much, it is so encouraging to be able to find information from someone who understands the problem. I am not sure that i will be able to purchase dmso here and for sure i wouldn't be able to tell if it is pure or not so i will leave this out for the moment. The orange oil does seem to have highlighted a large area at the side of the original lesion and the outer area is becoming more defined, the center is raised so it does seem to be bringing it to the surface. I took the first pics today so i can see the progress week to week, i will keep you informed and after treatment i will post the pics.
Thanks again |

I would like to have some DMSO, but I don't know the best place to buy the pure kind? Any suggestions? Also, is the gel the best? I read that it makes you smell like garlic, is that true? Thanks |

Hi all, just thought i would give you an update. I am still using the combo treatment orange oil 3 days then egg plant & vinegar mix 3 days, now 3 weeks into treatment, initially experienced alot of a lot of swelling, the skin is quite dry and the area highlighted seems to have reduced slightly in size, the orange oil not stinging imediately i apply it but does after several minutes so i guess this means that any surface problems have diminished and it is now targeting the lower layers. I have also made drastic changes to my diet as recommended. I have placed an order for cymilium to be at the ready just in case as it seems many people have had great success with this. Just another question for any of you out there, i have been using black seeds and black seed oil (nigella sativa) daily for a few months now as it is easily available in Egypt and claims huge health benefits, i am feeling so much healthier in myself and just wondered if has anyone has tried this.
Hi Judy
There is alot of information on this site about DMSO sold as a solvent but acts as a carrier agent with chosen treatments to take it deep into the tissue.
Hi Lily44
I have decided not to purchase DMSO as i would never be able to tell if what i can find here it is pure or not. |

Hi hope123, thanks for the update and the nigella sativa lead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigella_sativa It has been traditionally used for a variety of conditions and treatments related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal health, kidney and liver function, circulatory and immune system support, as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidants, anticancer, antiviral and for general well-being. It is good to hear your favorable experience. I think diet can make a big difference over time.
I am a proponent of combinations and have another one to consider that I have used myself. You also might consider applying rosemary essential oil topically along with orange oil. I applied rosemary oil 20 minutes after orange oil and it seemed synergistic to me. Like anything else, I would keep it away from the eyes, but I would put rosemary in the same category as orange oil for general non-toxicity. Rosemary oil does not sting like orange oil and I felt it is actually soothing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary
Rosemary contains a number of potentially biologically active compounds. The anticancer ingredients of rosemary include caffeic acid, ursolic acid, and carnosol which target initiation, growth, and apoptsis (cancer cell shutdown) mechanisms. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8306331 |

Thanks for that information Dan, i will see if i can find the rosemary oil to back up the treatment. Someone local who practices natural & holistic therapies recommended i use the black seeds and oil, one teaspoon black seeds in a cup of hot water daily in the morning and a teaspoon of black seed oil in the evening and i must admit i feel much healthier.
I want to say Thanks to all who contribute here, this site has been a godsend to anyone facing the unknown and i have found so much information here to allow me to make an informed choice. |

Hi, i just thought i would give an update on my progress, now 8 weeks into topical treatment and although i have made progress i haven't managed to knock it out. Treatment started with a combination therapy of pure orange oil and vinegar & egg plant mix. Orange oil highlighted a more extensive area, no longer stings so much however i am left still left with 2 small pearl like bumps on the original lesion site. I have received my cymillium and started to apply this yesterday. Photo taken after laser hyperthermia 5 months ago shows the original lesion, after first starting to using combination topical treatment this shows a more extensive area than initially thought. The topical treatment appears to have knocked out the extensive area, hopefully the cymilium will finish the job.

| Sorry folks, i am no expert in uploading pics and i see they didn't upload in the order i expected and some i appear to have uploaded twice, just to recap, the 3rd & 4th pic shows the original lesion site 2 days after laser hyperthermia treatment. I had 6 sessions of this first time round and after 6 months it returned and the doctor told me this was a new bcc above the old treated site. This was again treated by laser hyperthermia but i wasn't convinced it was erradicated. The first & 6th picture shows what happened 1 week into using combo therapy of pure orange oil & eggplant/vinegar mix. The other pics show during treatment with this combo therapy and the last pic shows a marked improvement after 8 weeks of treatment, now i have started using cymilium to try to knock out what is left so will keep you posted. |

| Sorry I haven't been around for a while, my life became very complicated due to the revolution in Egypt and I have now returned to UK. I am happy to say that I had success with one box of cymillium and apart from a small scar left from the laser there is now little to see. I just want to say thanks for this site and everyone on here for the sharing of information and support. |
