Hi Scott,
Thank you for the email. Of course I am pleased with the results, but the disturbing reality is when the local doctors still keep recommending Radiation too. Why? Because it has been their experience that patients also need Radiation was their answer. What nonsense! When asked if they were familiar with this treatment or have ever treated anyone who has had this treatment, of course the answer was no.Why would a doctor want to recommend a treatment which would compromise your immune system, kill your salivary glands giving you permanent dry mouth for life, and be very expensive when they are unfamiliar with your treatment program? The lymph node was full of cancer prior to the treatments and was now benign. My cancer was at the doubling stage and now the area is decreasing in size, slowly, but decreasing. My neck swelling is hardly noticeable - you remember what it looked like when I first arrived in China. It was very noticeable.
Scott, it just goes to show that the patient has to be in charge of the treatments they wish to receive. And, that advise from a doctor is not always the best for you. There are lots of opinions and lots of information to sort through. What a shame that too many people fall victim to the "Jedi mind trick" performed on them, parroting the recommendations of their doctor without any thought of the necessity or consequences. I know you see the results far too often and are left with treating patients after they have been "treated" previously.
I think you were provided with the results of the biopsy, but if you were not, let me know.
History:
Mid March 2011 a lump on the left side of the neck, the cervical lymph node, appeared overnight. A trip to the local walk-in clinic doctor resulted in a diagnosis of a tumor and a CT scan was recommended, but antibiotics were tried first. After the CT scan results were read, a local ENT doctor was consulted on April 1. After an Endoscopy was performed and based on this result, another specialist, who specializes in cancer, was seen in this office mid April and gave the cancer diagnosis at that time. Upon the diagnosis, I scheduled a trip to China for treatment. April 25, I started my first course of PDT treatments, on June 15 for the second round of treatments and again on August 13th for my third round of treatment.
I have included a couple of photos of the notes from the doctor. Kind of interesting that even with presented with the biopsy results, he refuses to acknowledge them and still feels there is active cancer - even when the PDT liquified the cancer in the Cervical Lymph Node and none is present.
Thank you for all of your help and hope treatments are going well for your patients. Please feel free to use my email address and phone number freely.
Best wishes,
Richard
