Mass in the mouth: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy failed

Sometime in March 2005 he noticed a small lump on the underside of his left tongue. The lump grew bigger with time. He then started taking some Chinese herbs. After six to seven months, the lump appeared to have gone smaller in size but did not go away.

Not satisfied, he went to a private hospital. An MRI indicated a 2 x 2 x 3 cm mass in the left paracentral aspect of the floor of the mouth. A biopsy was done and the doctor told him that it was moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.

According to the doctor, KT needs to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy first before surgery was to be attempted. Trusting his doctor, KT underwent seven cycles (7X) of chemotherapy and thirty sessions (30X) of radiotherapy.

Unfortunately the treatments were not effective. So KT was asked go for another four cycles of chemotherapy. Again, the treatment was not effective. However this time, his jaw swelled and turned red. Then the swelling ruptured. The doctor gave up and told KT: Go and try Chinese herbs.

TK came to seek our help. His condition is best illustrated by the accompanied photo. There are three lumps below the jaw. Notice also the “burnt marks” due to the radiation treatment. TK could not eat any solid food.

Bone Cancer from India

 Dear Doctor,

My brother was diagnosed with pleomorphic sarcoma in the pelvis (stage -4 ). He is 33 years. He first noticed the first pain while running in a cricket game. Neglected the pains for 2 weeks. It became worse. Not able to walk. Saw an Orthopedic and Oncologists and undergone chemotherapy for 3 days. Everyday he is taking pain killers.

He went through chemotherapy and still suffering with very severe pain. We would like to try your herbal treatment. But he is not in the state of traveling. Is there a way he can be treated without meeting you? Please help us.

----------

Hello Doctor, I am his wife from India. The doctor here advised chemotherapy and radiotherapy just for a trial not for the cure or lifesaving. He told that his life time is maximum 1 year, because it had spread even to the skull.  Please do something, your treatment is the last hope for me.

-----------     

Hello Doctor,

I am the wife. Chemotherapy sessions are over. The present condition is very bad. He walks a little bit, get tired fast, can take only liquid food, motion is regular, disturbed sleep, difficult to pass urine without a catheter, suffering from fistula in anus, foul smelling pus discharge along with the motion, blood reports are like this

Hb     - 9.8

WBC  - 32,000

ESR   - 90

Urine - pus cells are seen

We like to start your medicines. Shall we start the same medicines or any changes you want to make? Any medicine for fistula in anus you want to suggest. Please do the needful. Waiting for your kind reply.

Comment: It is indeed difficult to us to do much – there is the distance and the slow communication between us making our response rather slow. Please ponder the following:

1.        What is the cause of this cancer? No one has the answer.

2.        If the cause is not know, how can anyone “intelligently” cure it?

3.        Ask the onocologist and he recommends chemotherapy, ask the radiologist he says radiotherapy. But all of them say the treatment will not cure.

4.        Would it not be more humane to do nothing than do something?

5.        In this case the treatments caused more harm than good? 

Message from a Very Happy Lady from Indonesia

Warmest greetings Pak Chris and Pak Teddy,

Here are the results of my last pap smear test and cancer markers that I had in Malaysia in mid August'10. The results for my pap came back pap class I (one) which reads negative. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a good result right? This is an improvement to the previous pap test which reads pap class II (two). I'm so happy if it is :) Thanks to God, Pak Chris and Pak Teddy of course :)

Once again thanks so much for all the help and continuous support that Pak Chris and Pak Teddy have given me these past months, to encourage me to change my lifestyle and changed me spiritually as well. I could never thank you enough. God bless you.

Dear Pak Chris,

Indeed Pak, I'm very grateful and thankful to God for this blessing. Words cannot describe how happy I am to hear this news. I'm also grateful and thankful to Pak Chris and Pak Teddy for being there for me as well this whole time not just with the herbals but also with the guidance and encouragements. I will continue the lifestyle with hope to keep up the good result. Once again thank you so much for all your kindness, I'm forever grateful for all of the goodness I have received. Regards.

From Norway: Her Leukemia Came Back Again

Dear Dr. Chris K H Teo,

My name is JMS. I am originally Indonesian but I live in Norway with my family.

In May 2008 I was pregnant for 5 months and got Acute myelogenous leukemia.  Mid June 2008 the pregnancy was aborted, so that chemotherapy treatments could start.  I had 5 chemotherapy treatments.

By the end of November 2008 I was finished with all the chemotherapy treatments and declared free from leukemia.  

I am now pregnant again, 27 weeks on the way.  Last Friday (October 1, 2010) the doctor took bone marrow test and confirmed that I have got a relapse of the leukemia.  They plan to wait until my pregnancy is 28 weeks (on October 11, 2010) and they will take out the baby by caesarean operation. Then they will start with 2 treatments of chemotherapy and the bone marrow transplantation.  

From previous experiences I know the chemotherapy treatments are extremely hard on my body.  I also heard that bone marrow transplantation is an extremely high risk operation.

I heard you have helped many people so that they are cured from cancer, without chemotherapy and transplantation. I would highly appreciate your advice if there is anything else I can do in this desperate situation?  Best regards.

Lung Cancer from Singapore

Dear Chris,

My friend recommended that we approach you regarding my father-in-law.

I am emailing from Singapore. My father-in-law was told by the doctor about a month ago that he has a 4th stage tumour pressing against his right lung. Last Monday, a biopsy was done on him and the results will be out this Wednesday. We've been told that because he is 83, an operation is out of the question. The doctor has recommended radiotherapy which our family is not keen on. We are therefore exploring the possibility of having you help him manage his pain and to control the spread. He has been experiencing a dull pain in his chest for the past month and more recently, he has been losing his appetite. The doctor prescribed him morphine which he hasn't taken.

We would like to take him to see you so that we can get him some herbal concoction and perhaps the pain tea. What would be a good time this week for us to see you, please? 

Thank you and we look forward to your help, please.

Metastatic Lung Cancer: She Refused Medical Treatment

Dear Dr. Chris,
 
Hi, my name is WSP, I would like to seek your advice on my mother's case.  My mother is 66 years old.  She is a lung cancer patient since first diagnosed in Sept 2007.
 
We declined any western medicine (chemo etc) as we have no confidence in the chemo.  Instead, we brought her to Zhu Hai China Cancer Rehabilitation Center for 3 months of herbal treatment. 

My mother is taking the Chinese herbal medicine from May 2008 till to date. Other than that, she is controlling her diet, eats light every day, talking multi-vitamins, doing 'Kok Ling' qi gong etc.  There was no medical checkup during the 3 years from 2007 to 2010.  Simply, my mother felt that it is stressful for her to do so.
 
Two months ago she has back pain and resulted in some difficulties in movements. We brought her for CT scan yesterday and I just got the report. We will be seeing the doctor on next Tuesday only.
 
I would like to bring my mother to see you but prior to that, I hope Dr Chris can kindly review my mother's report and inform me the best thing that I should do now. Next Tuesday, we are seeing the Oncologist. Honestly, I would like to decline any chemo treatment or radiotherapy for my mother. She is already so weak and low spirited.  I am worried that the drugs that they use will further damage  rather than improving!
 
We just hope that my mother will not suffer any pain and will further improve her quality of life.
 
I thank you in advance in your time and your assistance.  
Thank you very much.
 

Prostrate Recurred

Dear Dr.  Teo, 
 
It has been 4 years since we spoke to you abt my father prostate cancer. And since then (on and off) he has been taking your herb for his treatment. He is hospitalised now because his hb dropped to 5.4 due to bleeding urine. But tho the doctor had given him the medicine to stop the bleeding, he still has it. His urologist said, the bleeding is the result of the spreading cancer to the ureter , that’s why suggested us to remove the cancer. by the way his hb now is 11.4 after transfusion and his PSA is 297. Recent test showed his lung, heart and kidney are clear.
 
The hospital only allow him to drink 1 litre per day with the reason afraid he will more experiencing bleeding urine if he drinks a lot. I don't know if this is the reason why he can't pass motion (constipation) . But he is complaining his stomach full of gas (flatulent?). His doctor said this is because of his bladder swollen, that’s why the doctor put catheter on him. 
 
I need to get your advice about this matter:
1. Is it true the cancer spreading to ureter causing his bleeding?
2. Does he need the catheter?
3. How to stop the bleeding?
4. What should we do with his swollen prostate? 
5. What is your mobile number that i can reach?
6. Do you have schedule to come to KL?
 
Thank you for your advice. I can reachable at xxxxx

Reply: Since you are in the hospital --- do what the doctors ask him to do. There is nothing I can do or advise. And he was not really following my advice and serious with the herbs? ~ Chris
