Stomach Cancer: Chemo for 80-year-old
Dear Dr. Chris K H Teo
My father who is 80 years was diagnosed with stomach cancer (stage 3). He had an operation a year ago when the entire stomach was removed. Now my father is very weak and lost his appetite.
I took my father to see the doctor today and did CT scan. It revealed that the cancer had spread to the pancreas, muscles and maybe to other places which was too small to be seen according to the doctor.
According to doctor the only alternative is go for chemotherapy. My father refuses to do chemo because he is too old and weak to have it. So, i just wonder whether you can help my father. Can I also know the estimate cost.
Early reply is very much appreciated. Thank you

Fatal Melanoma That Spread to the Lung and Liver
March 13th, 2009 - double vision. CT scans and MRI showed sinus mass. Biopsy showed melanoma. Further CT scans showed metastasis to lungs and liver. Underwent radiation therapy to sinus. Double vision improved. Started 1 round of chemo in May but have stopped because liver had worsened.
Dear Professor Teo,
You spoke with my husband last week regarding his condition and my sister Connie spoke with your wife who was her former form teacher. R has stage IV melanoma with metastasis to his lungs and liver. Right now his liver is very enlarged and his liver enzymes are off the charts. He is being seen by one of the best melanoma oncologist in Chicago and has been told there is not much left they can do. His abdomen is distended and he can barely eat and drink. We were wondering if there is anything you can recommend at this point?
I just spoke with the doctor. His liver enzymes have doubled since yesterday and his kidneys are starting to shut down as well. She thinks it is now a matter of days, rather than weeks. The plan is for him to go home on hospice care and to keep him as comfortable as possible. I have a lot more to say but can't do it right now. Please just pray for him to not be in pain.

From Cervix to the Bladder
Dear Dr. Chris,
My name is CW. I'm South Sulawesi. I have spoken with you wife last night and she told me to sent you an email.
I want to ask an opinion about my mother condition. She suffers from cervix cancer. She first got her cancer in 2007 and she had chemo 6 times, brachytherapy 4 times, and then radiotherapy. After that her cancer was gone.
But in September 2008 we found out that her cancer returned. And the doctor predicted that her cancer had spread to her bladder wall so if she had to take an operation. She will have to loss her bladder also and carrying a catether for all her life. She don't want that. So she tries alternatives way. The doctor also found out that from the tumor marker, there are something in her chest.
Until now we have seriously tried 2 alternative mehtods. A sinseh from Jakarta and fruit juice therapy. The result is quite interesting. The tumor marker in her cervix, CA 125 is up 15 points from 55 (check in September 2008) to 70 (check in May 2009). But her tumor marker in her lung was down from 150 to 40. I don’t know what that means.
I heard about Dr. Chris from your patient who lives in Bogor. His wife suffered from 2 types of cancer, mesothelioma and colon cancer. Her wife had died last Friday but he keeps recommending me to go to you.
Right know my mother has been hospitalized for 3 days because of bleeding. She suffers a great bleeding. The doctor predicted that the bleeding is from her cancer. Because of her bleeding, the ureter was block by her frozen blood. And this made her hard to pee. Her infection is also very high. Last time we check it was 60.000 (check in saturday). But the doctor predicted that this morning it has go down.
Her problems:
• Bleeding from her cancer that makes her body weak.
• She can't pee. Today I will consult with an Urologist to figure out a way to solve this problem.
• She can hardly eat. She also finds it hard to drink. But we can work that out.
• Sometimes, she feels great pain in her cancer.
• Her stomach is full of gas.
She has been a vegetarian since she started the juice therapy.
I'm sorry to have come to you when my mother problem was uneasy to be handle. But any help from you would be very much appreciated. When my mother comes out from the hospital, I will go to Penang to see you. Thank you,

Lung Cancer: Chemo, chemo – cancer spread to bone and brain
Dear Dr. Chris Teo,
First of all I would like to introduce myself, my name is Fab, from Jakarta, Indonesia. I am sending you e-mail to consult on my dad's condition. I would like to first give you his medical history up to now as mention below.
Medical History
During a regular check up in April 2007, his chest x-ray revealed a mass in the left upper lobe of the lung, but he was completely asymptomatic. At that time, he has biopsy and was told to be negative for any malignancy. He had also subsequent follow up in August 2007 and January 2008, yet the mass lesion in the left upper lobe of the lung remain the same.
However, in June 2008 he got hospitalized due to pain in the abdomen and also back pain. On 29 June 2008, he had MRI of the spine and was told that he had compression fracture of T11 with possible spinal cord compression. Chest x-ray showed the mass in the left upper lobe was much bigger and he also had pleural effusion. He had re-biopsy and it showed ADENOCARCINOMA. He received accelerate radiation 400 cGy for 5 times to the spine for the spinal cord compression and his back pain got better after he completed the radiation on 8 July 2008.
He used to smoke 1.5 to 2 packets of cigarettes per day for over 45 years. He stopped smoking 5 years ago.
After seeing his condition is not getting too well as he also develop new pain in his pelvis which radiates to both legs and he is weak and unable to move around himself, we decided to admit him to Johns Hopkins Singapore IMC on 12 July 2008. Then he underwent decompression laminectomy on 16 July 2008 and tolerated the procedure well. He also had left sided effusion and was drained on 13 July 2008 with re expansion of the lung. Histology of the pleural effusion showed degenerative malignant cell, likely subtype is adenocarcinoma. He underwent talc pleurodesis on 27 July 2008.
He was started on chemotherapy with Avastin, Paclitaxel and Carboplatin on 14 August 2008. After 2 cycles of chemo a CT scan on 23 September 2008 showed mass in the left lung is smaller, likewise with the pleural masses and effusion with the lytic lesion in the thoracic spine, and left ilium appearing more obvious. He completed 6 cycles of Avastin, Carbo and Taxol in 27 November 2008 and repeat CT scan on 16 December 2008 showed partial responses was maintain on Avastin with last chemo on 7 January 2009.
He was again admitted in hospital on 28 January 2009 due to increasing fatigue and somnolance and imbalance on ambulation. Cranial MRI on 29 January 2009 showed multiple cerebellar and cerebral metastases and started on steroid and RT on 3 February 2009. CT Thorax and abdomen showed disease progression with new findings of ground glass opacity in the lateral segment of the middle lobe and multiple nodules in the left upper lobe suggestive of infective changes however metastases cannot be ruled out. New hypodense nodules in the left lobe of the liver, left adrenal and pancreas are suspicious of metastases. Multiple bony metastases. He was also started on ceftriaxone and prophy latic clexane. He start to feel better and able to recognize us and started to ambulate with assistance. He was also noted to be coughing while eating and was seen by a speech therapist. He underwent videoflouroscopy and showed silent aspiration. He was advise NGT feeding but the was pulling his NGT several times, therefore the doctor change it to PEG insertion on 10 February 2009.
He again felt week and withdrawn while on whole brain radiation. A repeat Cranial MRI on 9 February 2009 showed stable brain metastases with decrease in perilesional edema. Chest x-ray showed an opacity is projected over the left cardiac border with interstitial thickening and nodularity in the left and upper and middle zones. His antibiotic was changed to ceftazidime, clindamycin and azithromycin. He continues to feel week and staying mostly in bed, but we try to sit him up everyday for 2 hours each morning and afternoon and also give some excercise to make his muscle not stiff. A repeat chest x-ray showed persistent of the lung inflirtrates with the left pleural effusion and his antibiotic was change again to Tazocin.
We bring him back to Jakarta yesterday after the completed his radiation on 14 February 2009, and at this moment he is quite calm eventhough every 4 AM in the morning he starts to get cough a lot.
Consultation
With the above medical background, I would like to have your advise on his condition and whether the Typhonium Flagelliforme/Rodent Tuber that you have found can be used to treat my dad. Is there any possibilities, knowing his present condition that Typhonium Flagelliforme/Rodent Tuber can benefit him.
It is really hard for the family to see him in this current condition, therefore when I read about your story, it struck me that I need to consult with you. In a sense that your medicine is somewhat natural product not a chemical one, and I think he got enough chemical running in his body and I know that chemo will never cure cancer, it can only stabilize the cancer.
Please kindly help us doctor, and hope that my dad can be the next person cured by Typhonium Flagelliforme/Rodent Tuber. I hope to hear at least better news from you.
Thank you so much for your kind assistance. Best regards.

Liver Cancer: From South Sumatera - Asked to take Nexavar
Dear Sir and Madam,
My name is H.I. from South Sumatera, Indonesia.
My father; Mr. K.D, 59 years old, suffered liver cancer that had already spread out to the lungs. Doctor said that the cancer is in 4th stadium and has happened in 6 months. In September 2008 my father little bit felt pain on his liver. In November 2008 he always got fever in the night, local doctor in Indonesia said that he suffered malaria. After a few days, the treatment didn't work and my father moved to another doctor. This doctor said he suffered gastritis.
Every things become clear when my father went to Mount Elizabeth Hospital with Dr. on 18th January 20009. He did RFA and TACE procedure. RFA means his liver was burned with needle and TACE means his liver received local chemotherapy with catheter procedure. After a few days the fevers never come again. He must do oral therapy and take Nexavar. However the side effects of Nexavar is called hand-foot syndrome, very annoying on the daily basis. Right now he stopped Nexavar and try to look for herbal
medicine. Since 3 weeks ago he had consumed "daun kelor" parasite and "jamu".
With this, I want to consult with you about the condition of my father and also to discuss another alternative herbal treatment. Did you have any same case like my father?
Best regards.
