How Is Intestine Cancer Treated Without Chemotherapy And Surgery?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my mother is of 71 year aged suffering with intestine cancer from last 1.5 year doc says that she is not in such position to operate and face keemotherepy now she is facing the problem in urine also although we are giving her treatment of ramdev please suggest?
Cancer is a challenging condition and every patient is given a customized treatment keeping in mind the staging and expected response to treatment. As your mother has been suffering from intestinal cancer for last 1.5 years therefore it might be in stage 3 or 4 cancer. In such a condition it is difficult to treat by surgery alone and often even if surgery is done then chemotherapy and radiation therapy are important.
It is possible that surgery might have certain limitation due to age and local spread of disease. In this situation it is best to start chemotherapy to shrink the tumor and then give radiation to further limit the disease process. Please discuss in detail with the oncologist. Holistic medicine might keep her mind at peace but does not effectively treat the cancer and its spread. You must improve her general condition by giving nutrition. Please do not worry.
