Metastatic Kidney Cancer

Hi Dr Chris,
Greetings in the Lord.
I found your website while trying to check out cheaper Sutent but to no avail. My father has just been diagnosed with end stage kidney cancer with Mets. Out has spread to lung. CT thorax shows that there are nodules all over the lung and seems to be having 1 or 2 nodules at the thyroid. We only learnt abt him having cancer 2 Weeks ago during ultrasound scan at the kidney. He a kidney patient and has undergone HD since 2009 March.

We are currently at loss and don’t know what we should do next. So far, he has no serious symptom except for continuous loss of weight, lack of appetite, lethargic and occasional cough.

Abt Sutent, let alone the almost unaffordable cost, we are also worried that he might developed all those side effect being declared by the drug manufacturer. Would you pls recommend something to us? We desperately need help. Also notice tht you are selling herbs capsules, may I know how I can get them and at what price? He has just started juicing SSG at around 100 leaves per day. Will there be clashes with your herbal remedy?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Kidney Cancer

Dear Sir/Madam,

I read about cancer care malaysia on internet. Our father was recenty diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, with metastasis to the lungs. We are still looking for the best treatment available. Can we have a consultation at your place, and when is it possible?

Thank You

Kidney Cancer

Hi Chris,

I came across your blog and website by accident when searching for PET-Scan services in Penang.

I am a 42 years old Penang-lang and always thought I am very healthy human. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with right kidney tumor in early Oct 2011 by accident and went for surgery to remove my right kidney within a week. Biopsy was done and confirmed it is stage 3B. Now I am in recovery stage and waiting for next appointment – for diagnostic with PET-Scan to check for any spreading.

By looking at few success stories in your blog in relation to kidney cancer, I wonder how would that help me in my battle with cancer?

Frankly, I am also on herbs now; with recommendation from friends and my seniors and sharing from a lot of people I know. Just wonder it is the same.

As such, wonder if I can meet up with you for discussion and seek for your opinions and help in my diet and treatment (scientifically and herbs).

P/S: I am waiting for PET-Scan with Adventist but I am searching around if I can get a cheaper cost from others. Read you blog and you did mention there is a company that offers cheaper scanning than hospital. Just wonder if you mind to share the contact with me.

Thanks and looking forward to hear from you.

 

Kidney-Lung Cancer: No Cure They Said

Discovered blood in urine in August 2009 and did a CT scan on 11 September 2009. Discovered a 14cm tumor on my right kidney – diagnosed as primary kidney cancer. The cancer has also spread to both lungs (43 nodes of various sizes, biggest about 3cm).

My urologist said it is Stage V and possibly a few months to live. Last scan in March 2010 showed no further tumor progression (kidney tumor shrank a bit to 12.5cm and the largest two nodes on the lungs also shrunk by 1.5cm) but they found a new node about 3cm X 3cm size around T6 area.

Next scan scheduled for 26 August 2010. Seen two oncologists and four urologists and all said no cure. However, some recommended the drug Sutent and surgery.

Dear Dr Chris,

Sutent has now increased in price to RM24K. They are now doing a first year promo, patient pay for two months and drug company pays for 10 months. Second year onwards ???? Yes, my urologist’s only two patients on this drug died.

Reply: One patient who came to see me also died after taking Sutent. Besides he suffered severe side effects. I wrote about this case: Go to www.cacare.com / Case Study / Kidney Cancer.
