HI U GOOD FOLKS DOING, , , , , , , , , , , , this is a pass on from what I've read. All who are to have a biopsy or cancer surgery should understand that when a cancer tumor is disturbed, then the cells can move to other places in the body and start anew. I have many late friends whose doctor told them, " I think I got it all".
The lowly OTC drug, Tagamet, can help you with this problem. Read this.

Thank you ORH, seeing that this BCC is on the mend with clay poultices (not directly on the skin, but in a wet cloth), I now have all the more reason to cancel the surgery.
I sure wish I had read this when you posted it a year ago, ORH.
Last month (December 2015) I had an intestinal blockage. Turned out it was colon cancer. Since then I have read about, and started taking Cimetidine (Tagamet). The studies show that 800mg a day helps keeps stray cancer cells from metastasizing.
It also ups the ten year survival of (all) colon cancer patients from 60% without it....to 93% with it according to one study! That's HUGE!
If I had known about it earlier I would have started taking it directly after my resection...As it is, I have read it is still good to take for up to a year after surgery.
I have never believed in PPI's, in fact have always been against them....but the evidence seems to be clear. Even though I was told my lymph glands and liver were clear, my cancer had not spread, and the surgeon "got it all", I'm taking The cimetidine For the next 11 months.
I wanted to post this as a Heads UP to anyone with cancer, especially of the colon variety. Google "cimetidine colorectal study" to read more about it.
Best wishes to you, and I thank you for posting about it. :)
