For future consideration - certain foods can prevent or diminish the anti-cancer action of statins:

The publication @Chronos Tempi mentions contains valuable info on which food stuffs diminish the effect of statins. Especially geranylgeraniol present in may common things we may eat or drink like green tea, lettuce and many more may be damaging if statins are needed.
The full article is also in europepmc.org if you type 35111242 .
It makes me reconsider the use of green tea as an anti-oxidant

This is important because Geranylgeraniol (GG) Supplements have been recommended here when taking statins to relieve muscle discomfort and fatigue, if CoQ10 doesn’t work. GG is promoted as a more effective CoQ10. Pitavastatin is supposed to have little (or no) muscle effects. From the paper:
We have previously shown that the potential activity of statins as a cancer treatment depends on the reduced production of geranylgeraniol. However, several human foods have been reported to contain geranylgeraniol, potentially bypassing the effect of the statins on the cancer cells.We have previously shown that geranylgeraniol, but not farnesol, reverses the activity of pitavastatin or simvastatin (6,8). Here we extended this and tested other products of the mevalonate pathway whose biosynthesis would also be anticipated to be blocked by statins. However, addition of coenzyme Q, dolichol or cholesterol had no effect on the activity of pitavastatin whereas geranylgeraniol did. Thus, we acknowledge that it remains a formal possibility that the ingestion of foods containing geranylgeraniol has minimal effect on the activity of statins as anti-cancer agents because insufficient geranylgeraniol reaches the systemic circulation from dietary sources.

Review Thomas Seyfried published work, He “has over 150 peer-reviewed publications and is the author of the book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012).”
In my view he is correct.
A quote he uses in his lectures / presentation…
“It is difficult to get anybody to understand something, when their salary depends on them not understanding it.”
~ Upton Sinclair

My father in law has just passed.
The doctor was accurate in his prediction of 4-6 months until death. It was nearly 5 months.
He died in the hospital.

This is a late reply but if he is still with us maybe it will help. Google Gallium Maltolate for cancer. Gallium resembles iron, which cancer cells need. They take up the gallium and starve. It has been used successfully on several types of cancer, including brain cancer in children. It kills iron dependent bacteria too and it breaks down biofilm. Gallium is just an element. The nitrate form was used on horses with laminitis and navicular with great success.The maltolate form was developed (and is patented) to be more available orally. Gallium nitrate was used to reduce high levels of blood calcium in some cancer patients after chemotherapy. I found you need to supplement a lot of calcium if you take any form of it. It puts the calcium into the bones so it is being considered as a treatment for osteoporosis. It is supposed to reduce inflammation and pain. There is a cream (Galixa) that is supposed to rejuvenate the skin.

Thanks for posting and great to know, but it is indeed late in this case. He passed away couple weeks ago. Do you know if there is any studies or reference papers on such claims?
