I never had surgery. I was diagnosed in 2012 when I was 80. Since then I have taken Gleevec and last Aug/Sept 2014 I had 25 radiation treatments. I have been in remission since then. Praise the Lord! Strange and funny things about Gleevec: It made my fingernails grow:) I always had nice thick hair and received complements, but Gleevec made it limp and frizzy. Now that I am off Gleevec, my fingernails have again gone to pot but my hair is better... still frizzy of top but the rest is returning and curly. I never lost all my hair. I wear a wig.

Graviola Background
Graviola is a stout tree that grows to about 16 feet in height and has dark green, shiny, leaves. It grows indigenously in warmer tropical climates, like South America. It is a fruiting tree and produces fruit that are about 6 to 9 inches in length. The exterior of the fruit is green with white flesh inside. The fruit is edible and known as Cherimoya. Herbalists grind the leaves and stem into a powder and sell it in the form of 600-milligram tablets.
Herbal Properties
Graviola has many "bioactive compounds" and "phytochemicals" that assist the body in fighting disease. Specifically, the extracts are antibacterial against various pathogens. More importantly, graviola is an "annonaceous acetogenin." In the simplest terms, this means it has antitumorous and antiprotozal capabilities. Its antitumorous properties are most notable because they assist in shrinking tumors.

Hi, My cancer has not spread for the first time since last August. I believe my Graviola along with my chemo has kept my new tumor from growing. I feel so good for now. I posting the in formation for you. I have a good friend married to a politician. She lived in Peru for ten years. They used this plant in many recipes. Many South Americans eat it, Africans and folks from the West Indies eat it, and Puerto Ricans eat it. West Indians use the leaves for tea and they seem to live to 80yrs and 90 yrs. I have learned this from my health care workers that the city sends to me. Please read the following, research it, and decide for yourself. I will never stop with my Graviola. (Also known as Soursop and Guayabano.)
