Adenocarcinoma of sigmoid portion of colon

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

I wonder if I can have some input from this wonderful group on a very difficult

situation.  My father has just undergone quadruple bypass surgery and is

suffering from aorta arterial calcification. On top of that he's been diagnosed

with Adenocarcinoma of sigmoid portion of colon, which greatly worries me since

another operation at this point is out of the question.  He's currenly 78 and

lives in Brazil.  He has been a smoker and drinker all his life till recently

but despite of that he seems to be recovering well from the quadruple bypass

surgery.  I understand that without an exam of his tongue and pulse and other

interactive diagnostics tools it's almost imossible to give meaningful guidance

but can anyone help suggest any strong antineoplastic formulation that might

delay the progression of the cancer until an operation is a possibility?  Any

help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Marilia

There are a few so-called " anti-cancer " herbs, but of course which applies

to him is completely unknown. Many of the anti-cancer herbs are also

somewhat toxic, so you should not go fishing for particular herbs for your

father without any further differentiation from someone who has the

necessary TCM background.

 

What I would suggest is a general tonic to help him heal and improve his

body's immune system which can help the body control the cancer until he can

handle a surgery. Still, you're going to need to have him see someone who

knows what they're doing.

Thank you for your help Al!  Unfortunately TCM is not very well known in Brazil

and I wouldn't be able to find someone trustworthy that could give the necessary

diagnostic.  I will try to see if I can take pictures of his face and tongue,

would that be helpful?  Would you be able to offer some guidelines based on

that?  Again, any help is really appreciated.
