Step Two Turned terminal colorectal cancer after chemotherapy
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Henry (H 546, not the real name) is a man of 52 years. Somewhere in August 2004, his problem started with the reaction of the gut, and there was blood in the stool. Endoscopy revealed sigmoid colon cancer. Henry underwent surgery, 10 inches of his colon removed ill. It 'was a stage 2 cancer. CT revealed that his liver and spleen are normal size and appearance. Both kidneys and adrenal glands were normal appearance. Bladder was normal. Uswas no pelvic mass or lymph node enlargement. lung bases have a bulge. Based on these results, the doctor concluded that there was no evidence of distant metastases.
Following standard protocol, Henry had undergone six cycles of chemotherapy. The treatment lasted six months and was completed in February 2005. A follow-up CT March 18, 2005 brought to light "possible metastases in the base of the left lung, but the liver, kidneys and bladder were all normal.
InOctober 2005, Henry suffered from severe pain suspected urinary tract infection. A CT scan on October 8, 2005, have indicated links hydronephosis "that the doctor may be due to a" mid ureter stones. "But for the CT of the chest revealed at least five well-defined nodules in both lung fields. This result clearly shows that Henry suffered multiple lung metastases.
The former doctor suspected kidney stones. But it should be. Further examination showed the tumor in the leftimpairment. A biopsy report of 31 March 2006 indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lower left ureter. This suggests metastases from colorectal primary. Henry was asked to give a second surgery to remove diseased kidney, but he refused to crawl.
On April 4, 2006 colon biopsy showed recurrence of colon cancer. The doctor had a stent installed in his large intestine to prevent the tumor to block progress. CT also showed the presence of aNodule 1.5 cm in liver segment 8. There was a small outbreak in a suspicious hypodense segment 3 of a new lesion.
July 15, 2006, a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis was done. Has a mass of 2 cm at the center of the square only rectosigmoid junction. The report once again confirms an applicant in the region rectosigmloid carcinoma with local infiltration and metastasis to the lungs, liver and left ureter.
Henry underwent three cycles of chemotherapy and then everycost of the treatment cycle of about RM 15,000. Unfortunately, treatment is not effective. The oncologist suggested chemotherapy as a second regiment of drugs. This new treatment cycle of RM 25,000. Henry had two rounds of this treatment and are completely bald. Has developed acne with pus all over his face and parts of his body. Scored by a dermatologist antibiotics but his condition worsened.
On March 7, 2007, MRI of the bone structure of the spine indicated the most centralmetatasis with sacrum and illium. There was also the direct involvement of the bladder. A biopsy of bladder cancer expires March 30, 2007 shows a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and was probably the extension of an intestinal tumor. Essentially ended with the spread of cancer by Henry more – this time for the bladder and legs.
Henry said his doctors placed three stents in his body – the two points, two stents and a stent to his kidney to preventadditional tumor obstruction. Henry was asked to further chemotherapy or radiotherapy, surgery. He refused and will help us press Search.
Comment: This is a sad story. Let me stress that Henry has initiated phase two of colorectal cancer without metastases at all. After surgery and chemotherapy his fortune for the worse. Compare this item with other cases that I previously linked. These people have cancer worse than Henry, but they refusedchemotherapy. And they do not have a recurrence or metastasis. The question is: "Why not duplicate or metastasis."
It 's always been my hump along for observation of patients in more than a decade: "Chemotherapy can cause all this destruction and metastasis? I have no way to support, because I have no data to support the observation. But let I feel the three quotes below:
A small, insignificant column in The Star, April 7, 2007, which read: "Study:Treatment may fuel spread the proliferation of cancer. "The study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Dr. Carlos Arteaga and colleagues from Vanderbilt University, USA, showed that cancer treatment with surgery or chemotherapy, sometimes radiation can cause cancer. In their work have used doxorubicin (a common substance used chemotherapy for breast cancer) or radiation and found that this treatment increased levels of TGF-beta, which in turn helped breast cancer tumorsto expand the lungs. The researchers wrote: "The rebuilding and development of tumors after anti-cancer therapy (such as radiation, chemotherapy and surgery) is a well known phenomenon." And 'this research than in the case of Henry?
Andrew Weil writes (in health and healing): "There is no eternal struggle are sucked in patients think. As more and more dependent on the system, a treatment for a second." How true is thisWords used in the case of Henry?
Professor Jane Plant (in your life in your hands) wrote: "It looks like a battle between the disease and treatment – the patient as a battlefield. Conventional treatment for cancer patients so that they are no longer understand what is really done for them. "
Let me conclude this way: For colon cancer, the way to go, can take only one person change in lifestyle and diet alongsauce. It can be very effective and humane that the so-called scientific medicine. Read the cases I have presented so far and make your own conclusion.
Note: After three weeks on the plant, Henry said that his health had improved, and decided to continue taking the herbs.
