Hi,
I came across your website and wanted to get in touch with you.
My father, 77 yrs old, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last October a few months after he had hip surgery. They said they could give chemo but it wouldn't be much use … He had pain in his hand and after several misdiagnosis of arthritis, it turned out to be secondary cancer. He received radiotherapy for the hand and he reacted very badly. His hand swelled up and he was in extreme pain. This settled after a while and he was able to go back to work as a furniture maker/restorer.
When we went back for a checkup they told us it may have actually got worse in the hand!! His primary lung tumor had shrunk slightly though which was good and not the result of any treatments, just good diet and supplements.
A few months later his leg on the operation side was hurting and his left shoulder was hurting. We were told it was arthritis. Months later my dad was in worse pain than ever, finding it hard to walk or get to sleep. They told us two months ago that it was secondary cancer. He has it in his left wrist and hand, left shoulder and right femur.
We are booked in for radiotherapy tomorrow. After the last time, he is very nervous but what we agreed on is that even if it does kill everything off, good and bad cells, at least we may have a chance to rebuild form there rather than just losing the fight.
Many thanks.
Reply: Where are you from?
We live in North Wales, UK.
Reply: Thanks --- North Wales is too far away from us in Malaysia. Also the herbs will not taste good -- awful smell and taste. I don’t think non-Asian can tolerate them. I have some UK patients --- no, they can’t tolerate them.
