For more than a decade, Mrs. Melly has been engaged in a relentless battle since her diagnosis with astrocytoma brain cancer on the left hemisphere of her brain. The initial onset involved enduring unyielding headaches that defied relief from conventional pain medications. Weakness, particularly on her right side, often became a part of her daily life. The MRI results from December 2012 disclosed the presence of a malignant tumour – a low-grade astrocytoma.
Medical advice leaned towards surgery, as low-grade astrocytoma of her type generally exhibits poor responses to radiation or chemotherapy. Thus, surgery stood as the most optimal path. Despite the recommendation, Mrs. Melly opted to explore alternative for Astrocytoma Brain Cancer Treatment after consulting her oncology team. Delving into ECCT (Electro-Capacitive Cancer Therapy), she learned that while the malignant components of her tumour could potentially respond to ECCT, disintegrating and being expelled through sweat, urine, and faeces, the low-grade portions might not react as favourably, warranting the consideration of surgery for full removal.
Understanding that low-grade tumours might not achieve complete resolution, Mrs. Melly chose to place her trust solely in ECCT, foregoing the surgical route. Her symptoms exhibited swift improvement upon commencing ECCT treatment. However, MRI scans showed only marginal alterations in the tumour mass. The first- and second-years post-treatment showed relatively consistent results, with a slight reduction noted after 5 years. Though traces of the tumour lingered, her complaints of headaches and physical weakness became almost imperceptible.
Opting against regular post-treatment MRI scans, she has now traversed over a decade since her initial diagnosis, maintaining her health and well-being.
坚韧十载:驾驭星形胶质瘤脑癌治疗之路
十余年来,Melly女士自被诊断出左侧脑半球星形胶质瘤脑癌以来,一直在不屈不挠的战斗中前行。最初的症状是持续的难以缓解的头痛,常规疼痛药无法缓解。她的右侧,尤其是腿部和身体,经常感到无力。2012年12月的MRI结果显示出一颗恶性肿瘤——一颗低级别的星形胶质瘤。
医学建议倾向于手术,因为她的类型的低级别星形胶质瘤通常对放疗或化疗的反应较差。因此,手术被认为是最优选的方法。尽管有这样的建议,Melly女士选择在与肿瘤科医疗团队协商后探索其他途径。深入研究了电容电流癌症疗法(ECCT)后,她了解到,尽管肿瘤的恶性部分可能对ECCT产生积极反应,会分解并通过汗水、尿液和粪便排出体外,但低级别部分的反应可能不如此,这需要考虑手术以完全切除。
了解到低级别肿瘤可能无法完全消退,Melly女士选择将信任完全放在ECCT上,放弃了手术途径。在开始ECCT治疗后,她的症状迅速改善。然而,MRI扫描显示肿瘤质量只有微小的变化。治疗后的第一年和第二年显示出相对一致的结果,在5年后略有减少。尽管肿瘤的痕迹仍然存在,但头痛和身体无力的抱怨几乎不可察觉。她选择不定期进行治疗后的MRI扫描,目前已经度过了自诊断以来的十余年,保持了健康和幸福。
