radiation and Anyway after some more chat he advised me
15-Feb-2011. I went for a PET SCAN with IV Contrast at SGH Nuclear Medicine. After the scan, as I walked pass Boa Zhong Tang in SGH I took a look and gathered some information to read on cancer treatment by TCM. After reading the information from Boa Zhong Tang I decided to try it out. I was seen by Physician Sun of Boa Zhong Tang in SGH. She speak little or no English but she had an interpreter with her. After some questions from which I answered, she recommended I go for radiation therapy and chemotherapy together with her treatment. I said to her I am not prepared to go for the radiation therapy and chemotherapy as after reading much infor on the web on radiation therapy and chemotherapy I felt both these treatment methods would only do more harm to my condition then help. I was given some herb to bring back after paying a hefty fees from Dr. Sun's consultation. I canceled the next appointment with Dr. Sun.
17-Feb-2011. This time I was seen by Dr. Chau Noan Minh. She went through the PET scan result and reviewed that beside my right lung, cancer has already metastasized to my liver and T8 and T9 vertebral bone. She confirmed that MY cancer is now on stage 4. Thus she do not recommend going through radiation therapy but suggested going with chemotherapy. I asked if my cancer could be cured with chemotherapy. She said the chemo is not a cure but just to control the cancer spread. She said I only have 6 months to1 year life span.
Hearing this I decided not to go for the chemotherapy but instead to seek my own treatment else where.
