3) The diagnosis and initial treatment
There I was facing two years after I thought some blood in the stool.
With faeces to the laboratory. Result: no blood found. Again after one year (summer 2000): a lot of blood in stool suddenly, two days later at the hospital endoscopy: a tumor, 40 cm from the anus. Ten days after surgery.
Surgeon the day after surgery to my bed, "Mrs. Day, beautiful successful operation,
nice could remove tumor, a metastasis in the lymph buikvetschort also removed.
Everything worked fine. However, madam, the liver has some irregularities (so he said) and about 7 days, we hear what it is. "
7 days later the surgeon came back to my bed, "Well, madam, it has metastasized to the liver, 5 metastases, 1 of which about 4 to 5 inches, so I send you to the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. I asked:" what is love for my life? "He said," You should expect to be alive from half to two years. "
In the VU, I was a porto-cath proposed, there is a small device inserted under the collarbone with a tube into the hepatic artery, so once I have 2.5 weeks 1 week long chemo (5FU) administered. You walk over six days with a bag
around your waist, where the chemo pump is located.
I did. After the fourth treatment I became very ill, 14 days recorded in the VU and nursed heavy painkillers. In those early days I also immediately began using the anthroposophical Weleda Iscador. (Under the skin 3 times a week (self) injection). It was prescribed by a doctor anthroposofical. This agent by the insurer (health insurance) reimbursement. (Editors note: see page other alternatives what exactly is Iscador).
