Henry (T 546, not the real name) is a man of 52 years sometimes in August 2004, started its activities with altered bowel habits and there was blood in the stool. Endoscopy revealed cancer of the sigmoid colon. Henry had surgery to remove 10 inches of his intestine infected one. It 'was a stage 2 cancer. TAC showed that the liver and spleen were normal in size and appearance. Both adrenal glands and kidneys were also normal in appearance. The bladder was normal. It was notPelvic mass or lymphadenopathy. The bases of the lung showed no nodules. Based on these results, the doctor arrived that there was no evidence of distant metastases.
Following standard protocol, Henry has undergone six cycles of chemotherapy. The treatment lasted six months and was completed in February 2005. A follow-up CT scan revealed March 18, 2005 "metastasis possible to the base of the left lung, but the liver, both kidneys and bladder were all normal.
In October2005, Henry suffered a severe pain due to suspected urine infection. A CT scan on October 8, 2005, the word "hydronephosis left", which could be due to the doctor, "a mid-ureteric stone." However, the CT of the chest showed at least five well-defined nodes in both lung fields. This result clearly showed that Henry suffered multiple pulmonary metastases.
Previously, the doctor suspects kidney stones. But it should be. A closer examination revealed the tumor in the left kidney.A biopsy report of March 31, 2006, indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lower left ureter. This was suggestive of metastasis of colon primary school. Henry was asked to undergo another operation to remove the infected kidney, but he refused.
On April 4, 2006 a biopsy showed recurrence of colon cancer. The doctor was in the large intestine to install a stent to prevent cancer by blocking the passage. CT showed the presence of a node of 1.5 cm segment8 of his liver. It 'been a small fire hypodense in segment 3 of a new suspicious lesion.
On July 15, 2006, a CT scan, abdomen, chest and pelvis scan was performed. It showed 2-cm mass in the middle of the rectum to the rectosigmoid junction. The report confirmed once an applicant in the region rectosigmloid carcinoma with local infiltration and metastasis to the lung, liver and left ureter.
Henry underwent three cycles of chemotherapy and each treatment cycle cost him aboutRM 15,000. Unfortunately, treatment is not effective. The oncologist recommended more chemotherapy with another regiment of drugs. This new treatment will cost RM 25,000 per cycle. Henry had discovered two cycles of this treatment and was completely. He developed acne with pus all over his face and some parts of his body. He was given antibiotics by a dermatologist, but his condition worsened.
On March 7, 2007, MRI showed multiple areas of the lumbar spine with bone metatasisSacrum and Illium. There was also a direct involvement of the urinary bladder. A biopsy of bladder cancer at 30 March 2007 showed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and that was probably the extension of a colorectal tumor. In substance over Henry for cancer spread more - this time on his bladder and bone.
Henry said his doctor three stents installed in his body - to prevent two colonic stent and a stent for his kidney cancer for more constipation.Henry was asked to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. She refused and came to our aid, instead of trying.
Comments: This is a really sad story. I should note that Henry started with a 2 colon cancer without metastases Stage whatsoever. After surgery and chemotherapy, his fortune turned for the worse. Compare this story with other cases I have used here. These people have had to suffer more serious than Henry, but she refused chemotherapy. And they did no recurrence or metastasis. The question is: "Why do not relapse or metastasis."
This has always been my feeling all along that we need to observe patients for more than a decade: "All this could have devastating metastasis and chemotherapy?" I have no way to discuss, because I have no data that supported by observation. Let me, however, the point in three offerings:
A small, insignificant in column Star 7 April 2007, this title: "Study: Treatment may fuelspread> Cancer. "The study reported in the Journal of Clinical Investigation by Dr. Carlos Arteaga and colleagues at Vanderbilt University, USA, showed that treating cancer with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may sometimes cause tumors to spread. In his work he used the doxorubicin (a common chemotherapy drug for breast cancer) or radiation and found that these cancer treatments increased levels of TGF-beta, which in turn helped breast cancerto spread to the lungs. The researchers wrote: "The repopulation and progression of cancer after anti-cancer therapy (eg radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery) is a well-known phenomenon." If this research in the case of Henry?
Andrew Weil has written (in health and healing): "It 's never-ending struggle to be taken in patients in the same way of thinking, we are increasingly dependent on the system is a treatment after the other .." How true are theseWords as applied to the case of Henry?
Professor Jane Plant (in your life in your hands) wrote: as a struggle between the disease and treatment - with the patient as a battlefield. The Sounds "treatment of cancer patients can understand the conventional process, no longer know what is really going on with them.
So let me end this: For colon cancer, might go away herbal to find only a change in our lifestyle and diet will. E 'could be much more effective and humane that the so-called scientific medicine. Read case studies that I have been presented and their financial statements.
Note: After three weeks of herbs, Henry said that his health had improved and decided to continue the herbs.
