Comment radiotherapy with biochemistry or gene therapy (Score 1) 217
To Mr Laconesi:
---------------------
Radiotherapy is a more precise technique for treating localized cancer compared to chemotherapy. It is still exhausting, leaving one weak after each treatment. Unfortunately, it tends to affect surrounding tissues to a certain degree, as the method of targeting the cancerous tissues can be somewhat imprecise. Again the use of alpha rays tend to create complications later on, as alpha rays have been documented to cause cancer (verify if this concept has not been refuted).
I would like to suggest considering using a biochemical technique to "light up the tumor" (luminescence) i.e making it visible so that it can be targeted more accurately by beta radiation. There was a technique I read about after my treatment that involved using "nano bees" to deliver toxins to cancerous cells.
Mentally, visualizing yourself healing and your body getting rid of the tumor and toxins was a great help in my case. (Sounds crazy right? But us humans don't have proof or explanation of everything. Humans are not only physical beings.)
My opinion:
----------------
Exploring alternative methods (Chinese medicine, Hemeopaths, etc..) is a very wise decision! It shows that you have the determination. You will get through this. I did. I met with a few homeopaths and practitioners of Chinese medicine (tai-chi, accupuncture, etc.) that helped with pain management and immune boosting, etc. It wasn't a cocktail of medication. It was a series of specific brain stimulating exercises based on knowledge acquired since probably more than 3000 years. Documented cases (Ireland @ Royal College of Surgeons - Sam Li) of severe cancer patients also adding the Chinese medicine to their treatment and surviving.
