Taxol, Carbo, Avastin and Zometa Did Not Help His Lung Cancer

This is a fax I received:

L met you earlier at our place. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in November 2009 with metastases to the pelvis. He decided to do chemo and take the lung and bone herbs at the same time. He started the herbs on 6 November 2009 and stated chemo on 20 November 2009. He was given Taxol, carboplatin, Zometa and Avastin.

In late March 2010, he finished his 6th chemo and was started on Tarceva for maintenance. He suffered lots of rashes as side effects.

Today his CT scan showed the tumour has grown bigger and there was more pleural effusion. The oncologist is suggested Alimta, a new drug or Taxotere. But the doctor pointed out to him that he survival change is only 20% with plenty of side effects and a few months of prolongation.

Both patient and wife ask where we can offer anything further. Would you like to offer the e-therapy in this case?

Please advise.

Reply: I remember this case. He will only go on e-therapy if he decides not to take more chemo, otherwise let his oncologist take care of him.
