The second stage of Colorectal Cancer Drehteile terminal after chemotherapy

Henry (T 546, not real name) is a 52-year-old male. Sometime in August 2004, started his problems with altered bowel habits and there was blood in the stool. An endoscopy revealed Sigma cancer. Henry undergone surgery to remove a 10 inch of his infected intestines. It was a Stage 2 cancer. CT showed that his liver and spleen normal in size and appearance. Both kidneys and adrenal glands were normal in appearance. The bladdernormal. There was no mass in the pelvis or lymph node swelling. The lung bases showed no knots. Based on these findings, the doctor came, that it does not remove any evidence of metastasis.

Following standard protocol, Henry underwent six cycles of chemotherapy. The treatment lasted six months and was completed in February 2005. A follow-up CT on the 18th March 2005 scan showed "possible metastases in the left lung base" but the liver, both kidneys and bladder were allnormal.

In October 2005, Henry suffered severe pain due to suspected urine infection. A CT scan on 8 October 2005 to scan to the word "left hydronephosis" which could be due to the doctor for "mid-ureteral stone." However, the CT of the chest revealed at least five well-defined nodes in both lung fields. This result clearly shows that Henry suffered multiple lung metastases.

Earlier, the doctor suspected kidney stones. But it was not to be. A more detailed examinationshowed tumor in the left kidney. A biopsy report of 31 March 2006 indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the left ureter. This was suggestive of metastasis from colonic primary. Henry was asked to undergo another operation to remove the infected kidney, but he refused.

On 4 April 2006 colon cancer biopsy showed recurrence of the cancer. The doctor had to install a stent in his bowel tumor is blocking the passage to prevent. CT scan also showedPresence of a 1.5 cm node in the segment 8 of his liver. It was a tiny hypodense focus in the segment 3 of a new suspicious lesion.

On 15 July 2006, a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis scan was performed. It showed a 2 cm in diameter in the middle of the rectum extending to the rectosigmoid junction. The report once again confirmed a recurrent carcinoma of the region with rectosigmloid local infiltration and metastasis to the lung, liver and left ureter.

Henry underwent three cycles of chemotherapyand every cycle cost him more than 15,000 marks. Unfortunately, the treatment is not effective. The oncologist suggested more chemotherapy with another drug regiment. This new treatment will cost RM 25,000 per cycle. Henry had two cycles of this treatment and was completely bald. He developed acne with pus all over his face and some parts of his body. He was given antibiotics, which worsened by a dermatologist but his condition.

On 7 March 2007, MRI of the lumbar spine indicated severalFocus metatasis the bony sacrum and Illium. There was also direct involvement of the bladder. A biopsy of the bladder tumor at 30 March 2007 indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and was liable to an extension of malignant tumors of the colon. In essence, Henry finished with more cancer itself - this time to his bladder and bone.

Henry said his doctors installed three stents in his body - two colonic stents and stent for his kidneyPrevent further tumor blockade. Henry was asked to undergo more chemotherapy or radiation therapy. He declined and came to our aid, rather than search.

Comments: This is a sad story indeed. Let me point out that Henry started out with Stage 2 colon cancer without metastases at all. After surgery and chemotherapy, his luck turned for the worse. Compare this story with other cases that I have just told. These people were more seriously ill than Henry, but theydeclined chemotherapy. And she had no recurrence or metastases. The question is: "Why do not relapse or metastasis."

This has always been my theory down to watching patients for more than a decade: "Could all of these metastasis and chemotherapy have caused devastation?" I have no way to argue, because I do not support data of observation. Let me, however, you have the following three quotations:

A small, insignificant column in The Star on 7 April 2007 had thisHeadline: "Study: Treatment may fuel cancer 's to spread." 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 can sometimes cause tumors to spread. In her work, they used doxorubicin (a common chemotherapy drug used for breast cancer) or radiation and found that these treatments raised levels of TGF-beta, which in turn helped breastTo spread cancer, tumors of the lung. The researchers wrote: "The repopulation and progression of tumors after anti-cancer therapy (eg radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery) is a well-recognized phenomenon." Is the research relevant to Henry's case?

Is Andrew Weil wrote (in Health and Healing): "There are never-ending struggle. The patients are drawn in the same way of thinking, there are more and more dependent on the system at any treatment afteranother. "How true are these words as applied to the case, Henry's?

Professor Jane Plant (In Your Life In Your Hands) said: "That sounds like a fight between the disease and treatment - with the patient as a battlefield. Conventional treatment of cancer patients can, to the extent that they no longer understand what is actually done is to process them. "

Finally, I want these words: For colon cancer, might be the right way only to change one's ownLifestyle and diet in addition to taking herbs. It could be much more effective and more humane than the so-called scientific medicine. Read the cases I have presented so far, and make your own conclusion.

Note: After three weeks on the herbs, Henry reported that his health had improved, and he decided to continue taking the herbs.
