Breast Cancer from Indonesia – a recurrence

Dear Prof. Chris Teo,

I am a sister of a cancer patient. I am from Indonesia. Last year, in February 2011, my sister (36 years old) got a surgery to cut the tumor in her breast. But several months ago, she got another tumor (that’s
what the doctor said). Doctor recommended she has to go to another surgery. But because it is costly and we worry a lot that the cancer may come again later, we haven’t sent her. She consumes herbs but they haven’t worked. Today, her breast turns red, its skin is like orange skin but she is not really in pain yet.  Then I found Ca Care, it gives us hope.

Prof. Chris Teo, We need your help. Would you be so kind as to give us some advice?  I am looking forward to your reply.Thank you very much.

Breast Cancer – gone to the lungs and brain

My name is R. I got your card from my neighbour. I would like to know when you will be coming to KL. Can you please give me your address?

Reply:  What is your problem or do you have any problem? Where are you from anyway?

I am suffering from cancer, I had breast cancer in 2006. It relapsed in 2010 to my lungs and this year to my brain. The doc also found lymph nodes near my neck. Even my adrenal gland on my right kidney has expanded. The radiotherapy on my brain done in March 2012 had affected my voice box. I have not recovered fully after the radiotherapy. I was told by my neighbour that you specialise in curing people with cancer.

I was supposed to go for another chemo or radiotherapy but I opted out cos I am still weak to go through this.

Recurrent Breast Cancer from Brunei

Dear Dr Chris,

You may remember me from Brunei who wrote to you detailing my wife breast cancer some 6 years ago where she had one of her breast removed. She was under medication but not chemo and it seemed ok.

Last year she had a relapse and she had to undergo two cycles (4 sessions each) of chemo treatment. Her last CT Scan 3 months ago showed no traces but her cancer marker reading went up to 80+. She was then coughing. The Dr here say Bronchi Spasm and so gave her medication inc steroids. Her coughing persisted and the Private Dr said she had Asthma.

Today she had another review and her cancer markers went up again. This time her liver enzyme reading went up too. The Dr  here is treating her Asthma first and then will consider what to do next.

Would it be possible for us to make an appointment with you. Few months ago we were there on Sat and Sun but then your bungalow office was closed in Penang.

Please let us know the best dates so we can book our flight and make other transport/Hotel arrangement. Her coughing seem to be increasing and we hope you can advice us what herbal medication she can start esp to stop the persistent coughing.

We have been praying for restoration and total healing for her. Our Father in Jesus Name has been so gracious and merciful all those years. Thank you – hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

 

Breast Cancer and Sabah Snake Grass: A Cruel Joke At Best

Hi Dr Chris:

My name is E and I am writing in asking you for advise on the condition of my wife. We both stay in Singapore.

She was diagnosed in November 2011 and the biopsy came back with her being ER/PR-HER2+. At that time, her tumor size was about 5cm and multiple lymph nodes involvement. Her breast skin was also involved (orange peel appearance) and the breast surgeon said that he will not be operating on her due to the extent of involvement. He recommended neo-adjuvant therapy and a couple of oncologist we saw also said the same thing. We did a PET/CT scan and there was no other organ involvement.

Knowing that chemotherapy is not the most effective treatment, we decided to seek alternative in natural herbs. We managed to find the Sabah Snake Grass and my wife has been taking that since.

In April 2012, we decided to go for a follow up check and see if there is improvement after taking the herbs for 5-6 months. The oncologist scheduled a CT scan as well as another biopsy and the result came back not that great. The primary tumor has increase to 7cm. There is multiple lesions in the liver and possible early bone metastasis. This indicates that her disease had progressed to stage 4 with a not so good prognosis. The oncologist over in National University Hospital of Singapore is recommending that she should start treatment as soon as possible to arrest further spread. The oncologist is recommending Paclitaxel + Herceptin for at least 6-8 months. We are really at a lost and are frantically going everywhere looking for cure.

I love my wife so much and I really hope you can help us. Our daughter is still very young (18 months) and the thought of losing my wife is just unbearable.

Please help us. Thanks.

 

Breast Cancer Gone Wild

Dear Dr. Chris,

My mum, based in JB, had been diagnosed with breast cancer almost a decade back. As part of her treatment, she has been taking Tamoxifen. The doctor informed us that 1 in 3000 women will suffer from cervical cancer as a side effect of taking Tamoxifen.

I’m certainly no doctor, and I don’t know all the mechanics involved in my mum’s treatment. All I do know is, almost 4 weeks ago, fluid was found in my mum’s womb. A week later, she had her entire womb removed surgically. I believe her uterus and 16 lymph nodes were removed. Of the 16, 2 of the nodes were found with ‘tumours’.

That’s what I’ve been told, and the medical report is obscure with jargon I don’t understand. My mum will be seeing an oncologist in a few days, but she decided she was not going to wait for an oncologist to tell her what treatment she needs and is seeking all avenues of treatment, including your very successful natural method.

I understand that you require your patients to visit you for consultation in Penang, and my mum is willing to fly or drive down. In lieu of meeting you, I’ve also attached her medical reports. From everything I’ve read on your website, the patient must be ready and willing to change their lifestyle and habits permanently in order for treatment to work. My mum is definitely willing and able to do that.

I have prepared the First Visit Form and the Disclaimer from Liability Form for her to fill up, and will submit them to you when she goes down to Penang for the consultation. From the medical reports attached, please advise on the next step my mum will need to take.

Thank you and God Bless.

 

Patients come to us: Some believe some don’t

Hi Dr. Teo,

My apologies for taking such a long time to touch base. I have been very sick since I came back from Malaysia  4 weeks ago. I am feeling a lot better now except I that I still have trouble shaking off the persisting cough.

Thank you so much for seeing me. I have stopped taking Tamoxifen since the day I saw you last month and is taking your herbs: Breast M, C- Tea and Capsule A religiously. No problems with C-Tea and capsule A but Breast M gives me the ‘hibbies jibbies’! Too thick, so I reduce it from 6 tbsp to 3 tbsp. I will slowly increase the dose back to 6 tbsp once I get used to it.

The appointment with you has really ‘opened up’ my eyes about chemotherapy and its toxic effects on cancer patients. I have to admit I never gave it much thought before as it is a job which I have been trained to administer the ‘deadly’ drugs. Even my husband is so impressed and convinced by your knowledge on orthodox anti cancer treatments that he started downloading a lot more information from the internet for me. This one on “Cancer Research – A Super Fraud ?” by Robert Ryan,B.Sc. and “The Truth About the Drug Companies” by Marcia Angell, M.D. will make one realize how powerful these drug companies are.

My approach at work now in the oncology ward has changed quite dramatically. I will let my patients know exactly what my thoughts are as far as chemotherapy is concerned. At the end of the day, drug companies are the ‘winners’ and the patients are the ‘losers’ at the expense of us tax payers.

Cancer patients are dying in painful circumstances everyday not because of the disease but rather from the side effects and complications of the chemotherapy. Hope I don’t get into trouble with my oncologists when I let my patients know the truth about chemotherapy.

My uncle, from Chenderiang, who is your patient will be a living proof. I am so glad my cousins took my advice against getting my uncle to have chemotherapy and brought him to see you instead. Had he gone for chemo/radiation, he won’t be still around today. Yes, we know the cancer will take over one day but at least he is still enjoying some quality of life now whereas if he has chemo/radiation, he would probably be bed bound and suffering from the side effects of the therapies and making life impossible for everyone in the household.

Thank God for your CA CARE. The more I reflect on the ‘incidents’ leading to my 1st appointment with you, the more convinced I am that God is in control. As the saying goes: All things happen for a reason. And I have no doubt we cancer patients are in your ‘hands but God heals’.

Thank you for looking after us cancer patients and God Bless.

Breast Tumour

I went for a mammogram and ultrasound. The report was diagnosed as malignant tumor. Please let me know what I must do now.Should I go for a biopsy? When should I come to see you .Tumor is 3.2 cm. Thanking you,

Reply: Where are you from?

Mr. Chris, Thank you for your prompt attention. I am in Singapore

Reply: So what do you want me to do? Go and see your doctor and get the lump removed by surgery.  Only then come and see me. If they want to do chemo or radiation — hang on first and come and see me with all those reports. But no need to come if the lump is still in your breast.

Thank you so much Dr. Chris. I truly appreciate your advice and direction.

Breast Cancer: Side effects of Arimidex – bone pain and stiffness

Hi Chris,

I just browsed through your website and am encouraged by many of your patient testimonies.  Praise God for all the healing!

I plan to visit your clinic but not sure if I can be considered.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2011. Completed all my chemo and radiation in Dec 2011.  I had my pet scan done last month and all is clear.

My oncologist requested I take Arimidex (hormone tablet) for next 5yrs to reduce probability of recurrence. I took it for 4months. The side effect I had was bone pain and stiffness.  The pain was rather bad so I stopped taking last month.

I would like to try alternative medication instead of taking hormone tablet.

Please advice if I am suitable for your herbal treatment.

Thank you

From Someone with Breast Cancer in Singapore: Everyone I speak to says I am mad

Dear Dr Chris Teo,

I am very impressed by your life work. I want to say you have done great work with your knowledge. I wish there were more people like you here in Singapore. I am from Ipoh but my grandparents were from Penang, maybe you have heard my grandfather C T L, who was also a doctor who practised in Kedah.

I have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, 2 days before my 44^th Birthday. I have a few lumps, because it is Lobular Carcinoma In Situ and Invasive as they found some cells in the sclerotic and fat. I was upset initially, but I was prepared 50% when I went to get the news. I did not cry, because a fact is a fact. Sometimes life is unpleasant but then it cannot always be sweet. In my heart I already know chemo and radiation is dangerous, because my father and his brothers all had cancer, they did the cut, burn, and poison thing and died anyway.

My Dad was worse he was in remission, but I think chemo altered his brain, after being in remission for a while suddenly one day he took a taxi to a high rise and jumped to his death. We never knew why.

Since my diagnosis I have resolved NOT  to do any of the treatments, no surgery as it has been documented in the Annals of Surgery by surgeon themselves that it spreads the cancer cells the reason being your immune system will be down and the cells can travel freely to seed themselves else where and then you will have metastasis. Radiation is known to cause cancer so it will be silly to even go there. Chemo is even worse as it is a very strong toxin. Which can alter your DNA and endanger you family as you will be very toxic to them too, which I am not sure is mentioned to either patient of their loved ones.

I am very young and feel super healthy. Moreover, I am not afraid to die, but if I did it will be on my terms. Not as a pawn of big pharmaceuticals and hospital peddling poison and radiation. As well as surgery that disfigures with no reason as the cancer will came back or spread. Also I think to myself cancer is not that special; it is also a part of me. It must be some imbalance that causes this.

I strongly feel that doctors only treat the symptom the tumour, but do not address the underlying problem which is why our body cannot fight back. My husband has an analogy; he said if your enemy is fighting a war using bullets, docs are like generals who deploy the nuclear bomb with not only kill the enemies but your own soldiers as well as spread radiation and toxin everywhere.

Anyway, I have changed my diet, I only drink juice, eat very litter raw food, take enzymes, detox my live and take flaxseed oil. I also am taking a bit of iodine as I have a hormone imbalance with my tumor being ER and PR positive. My lump is still small the largest only being 2 cm.

I also exercise daily and meditate. I feel a connection to your work that is why I am writing after seeing all the videos on the unnecessary suffering. When I am better, I will make a trip to meet you. I also feel if I am brave and beat this I can show people that doctors do not always have your best interest at heart and sometime you have to have the self-confidence to question them. Like if no cure  why still have to do the Chemo?

Everyone I speak to says I am mad. I think I have been given a chance to effect some change, maybe I can save my love ones and my friends from going down the slippery slope of surgery, chemo and radiation my life will have been worth living.

Anyway, you must think it strange for some person whom you do not know to send you this rambling email. I think it is important that we stand up and be counted when evil is being done to sick cancer patient. If we all look away then we are as guilty as these people who perpetuate these horrors on thousands and with only suffering and death as the end result.

One more thing can I ask you about papaya leaf extract? And your thoughts on it for breast cancer.

Thank you again for your time I hope you will continue this great work.

Regards, SH

 

Colon and Metastatic Breast Cancer from the USA

My name is H. My mom who is 66 years old has metastatic breast cancer. She was diagnosed with breast & colon cancer in 2008. The colon cancer was stage I and was removed via surgery. My mom’s breast cancer on the other hand has metastasized to her bone and now her liver and kidney. I can provide you with her medical records and anything you need. I would like a reply back if you think you could help me. I would still like to see my mom happy, walking & having a conversation with us. Please if you could reply back or call my cell phone xxxxx  we live in America. Please I beg you to please give me a response. Thank you much!

Reply: It is very very difficult for me to help people half a world away from me.

I understand. Thank you for your immediate response. I just have one question, my moms GI problems to where the doctors say her food doesn’t flow to her intestines anymore so she’s not allowed any food and also her liver isn’t filtering therefore when ammonia builds she gets in a state of confusion. I have looked around for doctors but I’ve been unsuccessful. Her oncologist team hasn’t really given up yet. In fact they themselves are also relying on some type of miracle to happen in order to start my mom’s chemotherapy. If there’s anything you can suggest. Like you said way of living, things to be done differently.

Breast Cancer – views from a patient who is also an oncology nurse

Hi Dr. Teo,

This is truly a GOD send ! All the while I have been following your blogs since my own breast cancer diagnosis last February 2011 and I have been looking for answers whether to follow my oncologist’s suggestions on Tamoxifen. Through routine mammogram and ultrasound tests last year, results showed some ‘calcifications’ in my R breast so I had a lumpectomy done and pathology results showed HIGH GRADE 3 DCIS 6-7 MM in diameter completely excised. Thankfully, sentinel node bx showed nil nodes involvement of the disease. I also had 24 fractions of radiotherapy to the R breast post surgery. My breast surgeon says I am ‘disease free,’ however my oncologist thinks that due to the high grade nature of the disease, I should be on Tamoxifen for some time to prevent a recurrence of the disease in the L breast as I do have a history of fibrocystic breasts. Hence I have been on Tamoxifen since last August 2011.

I am very aware of the side effects of such so called ‘anti-cancer’ drugs but I am also worried about the ‘what if ‘ too for not taking on the oncologist’s medical advice. Being an oncologist nurse myself, I have seen a lot of different types of cancers,’warts and all’ so to speak, and that’s why I have ’2 minds’ about my own prognosis. Since my diagnosis, I have also taken steps to adopt an ‘innate’ lifestyle approach which incorporates to ‘EAT WELL, MOVE WELL,THINK WELL’. So far so good and I feel well.

While I would like to stop taking Tamoxifen, but on the other ‘side of the coin’, I am scared of the disease ‘resurfacing’ its ugly head again. Can please advice, Dr.Teo ? Do you have anything for me to take?

Thank you for your emails and pray that GOD will continue to bless you and CA CARE to help others in need.

Formally from Malaysia … Migrated to Australia …Working as an oncology nurse at the Hospital.  And I do administer chemotherapy to cancer patients too…That’s why I do understand what you are writing in your blogs. Yes, chemo is very toxic but unfortunately when one has been diagnosed with cancer, people don’t want to ‘wait and do nothing’ anymore. They just accept whatever their oncologist prescribed, which is tragic. This is human nature for survival, I guess. I remember myself behaving like that when I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.

Thank God you didn’t give up the good work you are doing now after Ben’s passing away. We cancer sufferers need your CA CARE.

God Bless.

Wife With Breast Cancer from Indonesia

Dear DR. Chris,

It is great pleasure knowing you after searching various sources regarding the cancer. I would like to see you and have some discussion in regards of my wife ca breast. I hope to see you soon, and have some chat. I will bring all the necessary docs ie.med record etc.

I believe God is using you and team to bring comfort and hope, and to defeat the evil…who create bad thing so we cannot fully serve our LORD with the sick body. Our pray to you and your team. May God bless you abundantly.

My comments:

1. No need to come for a chat. Just go into our websites and there is enough info in there. Read and understand what we are trying to let you know – chit chatting is not going to bring anybody anywhere.
2. Cancer may be evil to some people, but how many people realize that cancer is yours – you make it in you! Bad diet, bad lifestyle, etc. etc.
3. God said, “My people died due to lack of knowledge!” How many people want to learn  before they get sick?

Metastatic Breast Cancer from Singapore

Dear Chris,

I urgently need your kind help and advice. I actually tried submitting the first visit form on your website but it was rejected twice, indicating my email address was invalid. So I thought I might as well email you with the key details required on the form.

I am V, from Singapore. Currently, my mother, age 68, is diagnosed with cancer as below:

1. Metastatic malignant neoplasm to bone marrow. Source: Unknown.

2. Breast Cancer, Stage IV, metastatic to bones, bone marrow – ER, PR weakly positive, HER-2-neu negative.

Suspected areas:  A layer surrounding the Bladder (Doctor didn’t check or scope that area because of her low platelet)

She was admitted to Singapore General Hospital on 6 Nov 2011 after complaining of giddiness, we sent her to the A&E and she was warded under the Haemotology department. Subsequently, blood tests revealed that she has low blood count and platelets. She stayed in hospital for 8 days for tests and was discharged on 15 November 2011. During the stay, she was seen by blood specialists (haemotology ward) at Singapore General Hospital, underwent CT scan and biopsy on breasts and mammogram. She was given a packet of blood transfusion during the stay, and a packet of platelets was given as well, before the breast biopsy was done. Upon discharge on 15 November, she was prescribed with
1. Amlodipine Tablet
PO 10mg, OM – For 14days

2. Mecobalamin Capsule
PO 500mcg, OM – For 14 Days

3. Simvastitin Tablet
PO 20mg, ON – For 14 Days

4. Lisinopril Tablet
PO 2.5mg, OM – For 14 Days

5. Atenolol Tablet
PO 50mg, OM – For 14 days

6. Ferrous Fumarate Tablet
PO 200mg, BD – For 14 days.

She has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. She feels listless and tired and is constipated and urinates more often than usual. As we are located in Singapore, may I know how can myself or my brother go about seeking your help and what are the procedures we need to do? What medical reports are required, to be faxed/sent to you?

And what is the estimated cost of the medication/herbs?

I would be extremely grateful if you could kindly respond to us as soon.

 

An opinion from Indonesia

Just happen I’m browsing the internet to look for the cancer news and latest development and also widening my knowledge. It is very interesting to read your articles and the way you approach. I believe all the so called modern therapies  for cancer especially chemotherapy / radiotherapy is more worse…because this treatment also kill the healthy tissues, and more importantly the loss of appetite and then will weakening the immune system. I’m not a DOCTOR….just ordinary man.a husband with wife been diagnosed with CA breast, and been through radical masectomy.

I believe God created man in perfect ways…in His own image…all this terrified thing happen is due to mankind who do not obey the LORD’s command. i.e. destroying the environment, etc. I’m planning to discuss this issue more with you and would like to ask your advice to my wife’s condition.
