NPC - Chemo and He Died

Hi Chris,

A friend just passed on with nose cancer that had spread to the lungs, Stage 4.

I attended his wake last night. His brother was so angry with the doctors, saying that the (...doctors…) told them that his brother, at Stage 4 nose cancer, had a 60% chance of survival. They asked him do chemo, do radiation. Some more, for radiation needs to make a face mold for him. After 1st chemo, he was ok. After 2nd chemo, whole body became worse and he died.

Chris, my question is: Why do chemo for Stage 4 patients? I thought once it is Stage 4, doctors can't do much already – so why still ask people to do it? This will kill them faster? Am I right?

Sob... my friend was only 40 plus. Saw his young wife. So poor thing. He also took TCM herbs. It helped him to feel much better. But I think it was chemo which killed him.

Dear JT,

That is right CHEMO can kill, but what to do ... people believe in doctors!!!!! I have one chap with NPC. He came to see me many, many years ago for a week and ran off to the doctors after that. He did 6 x chemo and 36 x radiotherapy. The cancer came back. Chemo again! This time 18 x. After that the cancer came back again and he did chemo again, for 8 x more. Again the cancer came back. The doctor said more chemo. This time something got into his head and last week came back to me again to ask for help.

See, chemo never cure ...and it can kill like your friend. But what to do? The world is such.

Take care. Take it easy. Be angry but don’t can upset. It is not good for you. Remember, that is the way it is ...at the end, I always say: I can only help certain people, but not all people. Smile and take life easy. Ho, ho, this weekend we are going to relax in Bali.

God bless,
Chris
