Stomach Cancer: Given Up Case from Singapore

Dear Chris,
My mum, aged 72, had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in June and was scheduled for surgery to remove the stomach on 12 Aug 2010. However, laparascopy revealed metastasis to other organs in the abdominal region: liver, intestines. As a result, the surgeon didn't proceed with the surgery. The next step recommended is chemotherapy but the success rate doesn't appear promising. Her hemoglobin levels have been dropping and she's already been given 3 bags of blood since July. We'd like to fly up from Singapore to see you next week if possible. Could you please advise on the following:

1. How many days should we plan to be in Penang?
2. Are there better days/times when we should turn up?
3. How far are you from the airport?
4. What are your payment modes?

Thanks in advance,

Reply: No, you don't have to stay here ... come in the morning and fly home in the evening. Bring all the medical reports and scan, etc. Our centre is in town -- you can get a map in our website, click the Chinese section. It is easy to take a taxi and it is about 20 minutes from the airport … on the way to town. I don’t know what herbs she eventually needs but the herbs are dirt cheap. And I don’t charge consultation fee like doctors. I hope that helps.
