Dick died Oct. 5, 2004. May 2004 Dick was faced with a lung tumor of 6 x 15 cm. A new attack on his health unfortunately after 11 years to have remained cancer free of melanoma. Dick is still operated but apparently no longer allowed to help

October 7, 2004: Dick Tuesday, October 5, 2004 deceased at the consequences of his relapse into his lungs. A terribly sad message because Dick so long and so well able to keep cancer under control with only healthy living and eating and some supplementation. He was an example to many of us I think. But read his story below or above in other articles. Still worth more than we think. From this place we condole Dick and his wife wish her all the strength that is possible. Thank Dick for all you have to share with us. Hope you find peace and tranquility.

I hope everyone understands that this message above was written later than this message below. but this would still leave duideljk to indicate how Dick has gone in recent months.

June 2004: Dick Van I got this e-mail as an update of his situation worse by the day, unfortunately. Yet even now are not going to continue to report Dick of his situation. The e-mail is virtually unchanged, only something made anonymous. Most recent update is on top, so immediately after this

Kees day,

Regarding my report of May 4, 2004, is unfortunately one last month marked deterioration in my quality of life occurred. When consulting on May 13, I was not much hope, the situation is very serious and life threatening. Because of my anxiety and shortness of breath, I increasingly feel like doing anything. Even the computer remains untouched for days. Everything now is focused on the sheer survival of the current crisis, which I am now fallen.

The right bronchie overgrown tumor causes the whole day, and often even at night, cough a lot. This not only costs a lot of energy, but also increases the growing pressure in my head, causing headaches frequently occur. The nights are very difficult, especially when it is dark, the tumor in the right lung and bronchie active and painful. I can not lie down or sleep. Also, I cough a lot again. My throat is sometimes squeezed, with cramps in the whole breast. I really do not know where I should look. The only way this painful nighttime periods to get through is upright in a chair in the living room sat a sleeping bag wrapped around me, but then quietly wait until the daylight again. Until now, the pain disappears happy when daylight comes up. When I get to lie down, I sleep for some hours.

All in all a very unpleasant situation, which I surely hope for the better may turn again. The attending physician is not much for me, then the bronchie from time to time, a general anesthetic!, Slightly open burning, so I can get air.

On July 1, 2004 will long photo opportunity again, to see if the last three months much has changed. Last week I wondered whether I actually have that day would make it, I felt so bad. Fortunately, I feel better now, but it remains worrying.

Since the diagnosis in March 1993, malignant melanoma, Clark Level IV , I have over 11 years old, thanks to the use of megadoses of vitamins and nutritional supplements, with an excellent quality of life may experience. I am that period have not been sick for days.

I can still imagine that in a relatively short time, such a difference arose in my current quality of life, compared with three months ago. This all caused by one years ago derailed own skin cells. Beginning of March 2004 everything was still excellent, no pain, no tightness, cough less. We rode all day without any problem. Now my condition like that of a 98 year old, and if I had any activity, I now constantly gasping and coughing a lot.

Afterwards you can establish that the growth of life-threatening "problem" Malignant Melanoma, the last 11 years, with me is greatly delayed was because of my healthy diet, plus supplements and vitamins, but that this growth process unfortunately has stalled .
Nevertheless, these years worth it!

So this is, unfortunately, not really happy message.

Sincerely,
Dick
May 4, 2004: Dick, I got this mail as I changed position so you are aware of his situation.

Kees day,
Thanks for your reply.

When I Friday, April 16 evening, came home from the hospital, I was literally completely at the end of my rope. Only then did I realize its real cancer patient: I hurt all over, gasping for breath, and hadno sense in anything, had no appetite.

It has taken me almost 14 days to scramble a little, and the wounds to heal from the surgery.

Even today, many restless nights with pain in my right lung, I get a sudden severe headache, cough me a lot, and I must adapt to the new air situation. At the least activity I get short of breath again.

In principle, the current limitations still adapted to live. It's just unfortunate that these limitations by increasing the cancer can be further limited.

All food and supplements have made sure that I am the past 11 years since the diagnosis in March 1993, still in perfect quality of life may have experienced. When the tumor last month, entered the trachea problems started really well. All cancer processes are very slow indeed become, but unfortunately not an absolute standstill.

Therefore we are currently living with the day. If we truly realize what the actual physical condition, then we have no life.
We are still trying to do something each day, and hope with God's help to get some time together.

On 13 May I have another interview with the treating physician. I saw him many questions, hopefully I get answers.

so far this 'update'

Sincerely,
Dick

Last week I received a very sad message from Dick. Months after he suffered from a non-vanishing 'cough and cold "now appears in one lung tumor to sit in a 6 x 15 cm. outgrowth of his esophagus / trachea. Whether the tumor is a melanoma doctors dare not say. Does appear to be very large tumor and one lung apparently works for months if not years ago. Dcik has been using laser treatment on his windpipe, but this is occurring bleeding stopped. Next week will be explored if there is one operation can follow his lung tumor and / or the further laser airway can be released. Dick feels the prednisone and so he now gets administered as terrible. All those years he has lived and healthy life now stretched 12 years with excellent quality of life and now he felt his only poison administered. Difficult for him to accept and process. But right now he says have no choice. We wish Dick all part of our strength and power that he is the new attempt on his life wins. Any questions before we send Dick just not in agreement with him. Uplifting comments of course.
