Today, we honor and remember Kimberly Smith — a pillar of the Cancer Warriors community and someone who meant everything to so many of us. With heavy hearts, we share that Kimberly has passed away. Her oldest son Troy and her husband Bob were kind enough to reach out, knowing how much this community meant to her. Troy shared: “This group was a big part of her journey and her fight. She lived to inspire others to do the hard things and take control of how they treated their cancer, to question standard of care and seek valid alternatives to chemotherapy. Thank you all for your support.” Just two months before her passing, on October 25th, Kimberly shared a post here that now reads as a powerful reflection of who she was: She wrote about living 22 months progression-free, with periods of NED, and about having outlived her original prognosis. She celebrated meaningful victories — her son returning safely from Iraq, time spent at the farm, and a life still being lived with intention. At the same time, she spoke with honesty about progression, fatigue, uncertainty, and difficult decisions — always thoughtful, informed, and grounded in patient autonomy. She closed that post the same way she lived her journey: “Love and healing to you all.” That was Kimberly. She was deeply loved, deeply respected, and profoundly impactful. She wasn’t just an admin — she was a leader, an advocate, and a steady voice of reason and courage for countless people navigating cancer. She contributed immensely through sharing her journey, her research, and her unwavering commitment to patient awareness. Kimberly believed in empowerment. She believed in asking hard questions. She believed in doing the hard thing — even when it meant standing apart from conventional paths. Through her posts, her constant support of others, her leadership, and her role as host of the Cancer Warriors Podcast, Kimberly helped educate and inspire so many. Those conversations, shared publicly on YouTube, remain part of her living legacy.

Hello everyone, I’m relatively new here. I will start radiation therapy for my triple positive BC. I’m wondering if the HBOT sessions are allowed during the treatment. Impossible to get medical high pressure sessions in France but there are private centres with pressure going up to 1,5.

Hi fam, just letting you know China has some really cutting edge treatments for cancer that we don’t have in the West. Recently Australian diplomacy with China has declined, so this info isn’t well known. Some cancer clinics in China are so much more advanced it’s almost mind-blowing. They do photodynamic therapy (using a photosensitizizing agent and then having either or both molecular oxygen and red light), CT-guided percutaneous cryosurgery (where they literally freeze the tumour to death), TACE and HAIC combined with traditional Chinese medicine and bicarb, ultrasonic wave technology, microwave ablation, “green” chemotherapy (agents mixed with traditional herbs or cryoablation combined with herbs), non-thermal ablation with nano-knife, and even implanting tiny particles of radiation into a tumour. So if anyone is not responding to treatment in their countries and/or is option-locked and want to investigate precision integrative therapies, definitely do some reading up on facilities in China. I can’t go there as last time I was detained at the airport for talking shit about the treatment of Urgurs and Falun Gong (the CPP sends spies pretending to be intentional students in Aus and I said too much, so one of my fake students reported on me lol). ✌️

Hi everyone, I’m just sharing questions I have for my oncologist as he’s a colorectal cancer researcher. I’ll report back on Jan 6 after my appointment with him. I’m not asking questions to the group - I just can’t be fucked changing it to statements because it’s 35 degrees today, feels like 40 degrees and I’m dying 🤣. Hopefully if you have the same risk factors, this could help guide further research. Also, a 10 year HBOT study shows if you do it before and after radiation, side effects were reduced or non-existent in 80% of participants (rectal cancer). It’s only subsided for brain cancer patients in Australia and the TGA are cunts here. But if you can get a subsidy, go for it! It also reduces drug resistance and can improve chemo efficacy. Questions: Have you had any patients on Rapamycin? I have been looking into this and believe there are early stage clinical trials going on for its use in drug resistant colorectal cancer and specifically its synergistic effects with 5-FU, e.g. inhibits mTOR, increases senescence, decreases thymidylate syntheses and angiogenesis etc. Have you ever used or researched inhibitors of ABCG2 pumps to reverse MDR1 over-expression? I noticed the cells in the length of my tumour decreased (assuming these are the neoplasmic cells sensitive to capecitabine) but the width snd height have grown quickly, so perhaps these are the more resistant populations. What is the best way to target VEGF and ANG overexpressions? These are the highest risk factors for angiogenesis that came up on my Onconomics testing, along with FGF, PDGF, and ANG1 and 2. Vabysmo looks promising but can impact eye health. Have you ever used Avastin as an adjunct outside of its use along side other immunotherapy drugs to block VEGF? I have 35% sensitivity to this and there’s promising data when used with chemo or metabolic therapy and HBOT, but Keytruda, Opdivo and Yervoy were completely useless for me because I have normal expression of MMR genes and no MMR deficiency.

Hi warriors! 👋 I have disease progression for the first time since initial diagnosis in June 2023. During the past 5 months I stopped HBOT and drugs from the ReDO protocol. I feel strongly vindicated by this result (albeit a setback) and affirmed that my research, inferences, learnings and previous strategies had me on the right track. This is because I now have strong evidence that the repurposed drugs I selected (based on drug sensitivity testing and oncogene analysis) in conjunction with a fatty meat-based ketogenic diet, HBOT, nutraceuticals etc. works. I think people also need to be warned that there’s lots of “natural healing” crap on social media that isn’t genuine in the context of cancer care - the natural elements are often overstated and used as clickbait and the influencers hide the fact they actually also used SOC (chemo, radiation, immunotherapy and/or surgery) to resolve cancer. It’s only after reaching NED status that they start promoting adjuncts as if they are a stand-alone solution and this is dangerous and deceptive. Yes, I declined SOC and still don’t want radiation, colostomy surgery or intravenous chemotherapy. But everything I have done is backed by scientific literature - I’m not blessing celery juice under a full moon and singing kumbyaya! Clearly, my attempt at “healing” did not work! Stopping the strategies in my previous protocol and eliminating pharmaceuticals did NOT heal my gut. Eating more vegetables for polyphenols and eating less animal protein did not work for me (and I don’t care about all the pro-fibre propaganda - it’s nonsensical to promote eating copious amounts of indigestible plant matter when you have an inflamed colon, compromised permeability, dysbiosis and an ulcerative bleeding tumour!). Just like that after over two and a half years of stability (no growth) and/or results of gradual tumour size reduction, getting closer and closer to NED status … and BOOM: the tumour doubled in size when I followed more “mainstream” medical advice! 💥 The recent PET scan indicates there is 4cm of high avidity in the tumour microenvironment (confirmed by MRI measurements of 20x17x36) so shrimpy boy (my name for the tumour as it literally looks like a mangled bleeding prawn) is certainly still gobbling up glucose! 🤣🍤
