Puan Saripah was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago, with biopsy results indicating a malignant tumor with moderate differentiation. Following the biopsy, swelling appeared in her armpit, and she began experiencing a persistent cough. Despite this, she declined a mastectomy, opting instead to use ECCT starting in late 2014. The therapy seemed to initially help, as her tumor seemed to shrink, and cells began to slough off the skin, resembling dead skin with a chalky (calcium) composition. The mammogram results showed a stellate lesion (spider-like appearance) with significant calcification.
The chalky skin flakes continued to emerge for about a year, after which an ultrasound showed no detectable mass. Puan Saripah continued the ECCT therapy for five more years, until 2019, with consistent normal results from both ultrasound and X-ray examinations. Her breast tissue appeared to return to a normal state.
However, in 2023 after stopping using ECCT, she noticed the reappearance of a lump at the site of her original biopsy. An ultrasound revealed a different type of mass compared to the first, now encased in a membrane without calcification, containing cystic or necrotic components, which resembled an infection.
She resumed using the ECCT at the end of 2024. After starting the treatment again, skin flakes began to emerge, though they no longer contained calcium. The lump also began to soften as more skin flakes were expelled. Despite the recurrence of the lump, it is remarkable that, 10 years after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer, she is doing very well. We are grateful that she is in good health, and we hope she continues to stay healthy Surviving Breast Cancer.
