My mom has stage 4 ovarian cancer

More specifically, Uterine serous carcinoma.

Confirmed today.

Spread to 7 nodules on her lungs.

All of this came from going to the doctor over severe acid reflux. If you have that, get checked asap.

I'm so, confused.

She doesn't smoke, drink, do drugs. She doesn't even take ANY medication.

She's a babysitter, Sunday school teacher.

My angel and best friend.

Never on any medications. Not a fast food addict.

7 nodules on both lungs ranging up to 7mm.

Rare uterine cancer.

How? Just how?

We have convinced her to do chemo. Does anyone have any herbal supplements or anything that they used?

From coworkers that are cancer survivors/spouses this is what I've heard:

Soursop tea (2x a day)
vitamin c
align pre and pro biotic
echinacea goldenseal
apricot seeds
curcumin
ginger
gingko
cayanne
garlic

She will be doing chemo too.

There's no rhyme or reason with cancer.
And the 'Why me ?' question could be down to anything from genes to former working environments to carcinogens in the materials used in building your home.

Oncologists are smart folk.
All you can do is follow their advice and try and ask questions as they occur to you.

I'm afraid i know nothing on the benefits or otherwise of natural remedies but I suspect they might have more of a psychological effect than a medical one.
Ginger for example has long been used as an aid to counter nausea or vomiting.

@Picklebobble2 We are being poisoned in a multitude of ways. Everything from what’s in the tap water here in the USA to chemicals and heavy metals that are being found in foods, supplements, hygiene items, cleaning products, cosmetics, air (industrial pollutants), etc. Well water here on campus was found to be have one of the highest levels of arsenic in the entire USA. I had lived in a campus apartment for over 11 years while working on campus. They shut down the wells as a result and switched over to the city’s public water supply. About a year after I moved to an off-campus apartment water testing results were made public. After I lived in other parts of the city for about a decade water testing revealed that the city’s water was found to have high levels of chromium hexavalent, one of the highest levels in the USA. Both arsenic and chromium hexavalent are linked to cancer formation. The chlorine that is added to water is another carcinogen. Two of the lipsticks I had used starting 17 years ago for a couple years were tested by an independent consumer agency and found to have lead in them. I was anemic during the time I was using them and was very anemic despite taking a good iron supplement daily. The anemia stopped after I stopped using the lipsticks, they had been discontinued by the manufacturer. Lead is also considered a carcinogen.

There is a lot of research being done on foods and other things that are anti-angiogenesis (things that stop the formation of cancer stem cells) with good results so it is not a psychological thing. It’s a new branch of medicine. Blackseed oil (from the Nigella flower plant) has been the subject of over 400 medical research studies around the world. Boswellia is another herb that is highly anti inflammatory and said to be an anti carcinogenic. Meriva turmeric high in cucurmin has been recommended by some oncologists before breast cancer surgery because it has some anti-cancer properties. Many more, in fact a long list of foods, herbs etc that are anti-angiogenesis.
