Case Report: Metastatic Melanoma, age 58, Male
Fenbendazole as a post-surgical treatment, no other substances necessary, other non-malignant skin cancers
Fenbendazole Can Cure Cancer presents Case Reports of people who have treated their own cancers along with other articles to help understand how fenbendazole works. Previous articles covering other cancers are in the Archives link.
This Case Report is written by someone familiar with fenbendazole who told her cousin about it after he was diagnosed with melanoma. The American Cancer Society’s estimates for melanoma in the United States for 2022 are:
About 99,780 new melanomas will be diagnosed (about 57,180 in men and 42,600 in women).
About 7,650 people are expected to die of melanoma (about 5,080 men and 2,570 women).
The rates of melanoma have been rising rapidly over the past few decades, but this has varied by age. Melanoma is more than 20 times more common in whites than in African Americans. Overall, the lifetime risk of getting melanoma is about 2.6% (1 in 38) for whites, 0.1% (1 in 1,000) for Blacks, and 0.6% (1 in 167) for Hispanics.
July 2022: I interviewed my cousin Chris today. He was diagnosed in July 2022 with melanoma. Growth under right arm and it had spread to his lymph nodes.
August 2022: In August, malignant tumor and lymph nodes removed. Started taking 444 mg per day of fenbendazole starting a week after surgery.
September 2022: Had brain and fully body scans in September which confirmed no cancer. Next scan is scheduled for December. Continuing to take 444 MGs of FenBen once a day.
Q: Any other treatments? Any side effects from fenben? Do you know which brand of fenben he used?
A: He has not taken any other treatment for his cancer. They aren’t going to consider doing any kind of treatment until after his scan in December.
He has had no side effects from FenBen and he’s taking the FenBen that I purchased from FenBen labs.
Q: One more question. How did you approach the subject of fenben with Chris?
A: I texted him and shared with him right after his surgery that I had something called FenBen that may help slow down or even eliminate his cancer. I told him that if he was willing to take it every single day, I would drive over the next day and drop off all of the paperwork that you shared with me describing how FenBen had helped others, including your mother-in-law. He agreed to taking it every day, therefore, I dropped it off the next day and he’s been taking it ever since.
I know FenBen has helped a lot of people and I pray he has a long life ahead of him. There really is no downside to taking it since it can be taken alone or while undergoing other cancer treatments. I was hoping I would be able to get it to him soon enough so that it could completely eliminate the cancer and avoid him having to take any other kind of treatment. Since his cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes, I encouraged him to take double the dose (444 MGs) everyday. I am praying his tests in December reveal he is cancer free.
Ben Fen : I’m going to hold off on Chris’ story until his December scans. I did some research on lymph node excision as a treatment for malignant melanoma and it appears that the surgery is a 50/50 proposition*. Meaning it prevents recurrence in half the cases. Given that risk, him staying on fenben is wise.
December 21, 2022: My cousin, Chris, who has melanoma and has been taking FenBen for several months, just received the results from his latest scans and he is cancer free!!!!! Yahoooooo!!!!!

The risk/reward profile of fenbendazole makes it a relatively safe addition to any ongoing or planned treatment. The next Substack will discuss the literature showing how fenbendazole can potentiate or enhance the effectiveness of radiation treatments and some chemotherapies.
Chris started taking fenbendazole as soon as he learned of it. This is important because, while his surgery was initially successful, the long-term success of sentinel node surgery in preventing recurrence is not encouraging. One risk of surgery is that malignant cells can be released and spread to other locations. So it is great that Chris is ruled cancer-free after the surgery and taking fenbendazole so that additional treatment (most likely chemotherapy) was not warranted. Since Chris has indicated that he will continue taking fenbendazole as a preventative, his cancer-free future is very bright. The takeaway message here is that it didn’t matter when Chris started taking fenbendazole, what was important was that he did take it. Furthermore, since Chris’ cousin already had her stash of fenben she could offer it to him immediately and get the ball rolling on his self-treatment.
Chris decided on 444 mg per day, and did not take any other supplements. Fenbendazole alone, seems to be sufficient for the cancer eradication effects while other substances like vitamin E, curcumin, CBD oil etc. are not necessary to achieve the beneficial effects of fenbendazole.
Q: What is his plan going forward regarding fenbendazole?
A: He takes 444 mg now, once a day.
Non-malignant skin cancers: Finally, one highly useful feature of the Substack platform is the Comments Section at the end of each article. Here is where new ideas from readers originate as well as from direct emails to fenbendazole77@gmail.com. Of note, several readers have written that they have successfully used fenbendazole orally, as well as topically, to treat basal and squamous cell skin cancers. Mixing 222 mg of fenbendazole into a moisturing skin cream like Neutrogena was the method used for the topical treatment. Very nice! It will be interesting for us sun-worshipers going forward to see if we can avoid the knife for every flaky patch of skin we develop by simply treating the spot with fenbendazole.
If you would like to report your experiences with fenbendazole you can do so by email fenbendazole77@gmail.com. Also, if you know of people who’ve tried fenbendazole, and it didn’t work, we’d be especially interested in hearing from you now. Understanding the conditions and factors that impede the success of fenbendazole in treating cancer are just as valuable, maybe even more valuable, than those that facilitate its success.

Preliminary observations...fenbendazole appears to be more effective treating fast growing, aggressive cancers while ivermectin may be more effective with slower growing cancers like some prostate cancers. Again, very preliminary observations on this end.
I am a retired Registered Nurse who is so impressed with the case studies in your FenBen Substack! I have been sharing your information in as many places as l can!
The information you are sharing is such an incredible, worthwhile service to mankind!!!
At this time, l have a personal question....as a fair-skinned person who has live in south Florida my entire life & who has a familial history of Melanoma skin cancer l was not surprised when a spot of Melanoma was found on my left shoulder 3 years ago. It was successfully surgically excised with "clear margins" & l now go for skin checks every 3 months.
I also have had many small areas of basal & sarcoma skin cancers removed over the past 25 years. I have been told that ALL these skin cancers are due to sun exposure from my recreational outdoor time in the Florida sun.
But l've also stumbled across much information that says Melanoma skin cancer may NOT be due to sun exposure & might be due to genetics. My mother died from a malignant Melanoma. Other close family members have (so far) survived Melanoma skin cancer with surgical removal.
This is my question: Because of my history, should l begin (as a prophalatic measure) taking FenBen? Would there be any benefit to doing such?
If so, how much & how often & for how long should l take it?
I will look forward to any recommendations you may have. Thank-you so much!
Eagerly anticipating your reply!
