  • I am really distubed at whats happening to Louie, a breast cancer patient. Recently, I found out that she has disseminated pulmonary metastasis, and its causing her dyspnea. This is exactly what happened to my patient before, she was so out of breath 24hrs a day, on 5L of O2. It wasnt a nice thing…

  • I have been seeing a 65 yr old female with metastatic breast cancer for about a month now. She came back coz the cancer grew back from the MRM. It was growing fast but the patient didnt want to do chemotherapy anymore. So it was decided that we try homeopathic medicines. After about 1 month…

  • Again, had a 39-yr-old mother of 2 (6 yr and 1 yr) who had breast cancer but now has metastisized to the lungs. I know and felt the pain and dejection after knowing about the metastasis, aside from the worry of raising her very young kids! Fortunately, her sprits are back up again and wiling to fight…

  • Last week, I saw a patient who had inflammatory breast cancer, she was given radiotherapy and chemotherapy. No surgery was performed. After a year of the treatment, the cancer seems to be in remission. However, the sad part is due to the high doses of chemo and radiotherapy, her whole left arm is now completely paralyzed…

  • I’ve been closely monitoring my breast cancer patient for the past 2 weeks now. Its hard for me to see her having a difficult time breathing every and then.

She is very brave. I don’t think lesser persons can be able to handle…

  • Its sometimes so hard and disconcerting to discover and realize that one’s work and patients’ achievement can be suddenly wiped out in a matter of minutes. This is exactly just what happened to my patient with breast cancer. After nursing her back to health, physically, mentally and emotionally; her sister-in-law who is also an MD…

  • I took pictures of this patients before and after 3 weeks of treatment. I was taken aback at the speed at which the tumor has shrunk. Upon measuring this mass, it was at the beginning around 13cm, and at the time I took the second set of pictures, it was already around 6cm. We did…

  • After much discussions, my patient has decided to have the CT scan that I have requested. At first she was reluctant, wary of the dye for contrast CT scan. I knew when she first consulted that her cancer has metastasized. She was still trying to deal with the pain of the tumor as well as…

  • I recently had a Breast Cancer patient with an already oozing lesion on the nipple area. She was advised to have chemotherapy prior to surgery. She refused to do the chemo, feeling that it will hasten her poor health. Instead, she opted to have all those Vit C, B17 injections. Lost and unable to express…
