Caracta:


True that. I've heard some stories about chemo. It's like it's just to keep a patient in good condition for a short time. Don't know much though.

.

Yeah...

aisha2:


Oga good now how much more on the average do we need to raise to at least have a good chance of flying him out?

It's not just about money even though money is a challenge. Let's assume for example the cancer has spread to 3 vital organs, it would be a challenge for doctors to completely remove the cancer cells since it's claimed to be aggressively spreading. The body can only withstand so much surgical stress as well as being exposed to so much radiation.

Phew... Only God can guide us to be honest

aisha2:


Even if it's one percent chance of survival I am ready to put my money in it. I will sleep better at night knowing I did my best for this brother instead of putting my hand on my head and saying its over for him

I'm with you on this. I don't think it's impossible.

I know chances are slim but I believe when there is life, there is hope.

Alutacontinua raised valid questions.

alutacontinua:
If it's not something to be kept confidential, what kind of cancer does he has?
Also goes a long way prognostically!
And how much metastases are we talking about?
Which organs have been affected secondarily?

if you have agreed to keep this confidential, kindly say so!

Seconded!!! CANCER OF

There is nothing confidential at this stage Sir. The report we got on the 12th is that "he has stage 4 cancer of unknown source and it has spread and there really isn't much that can be done but to improve his quality of life. The only way to identify the source is through a laparotomy which they are uncomfortable to put him through hence the chemotherapy suggestion that will be targeted at the affected parts"

Una sure say no be spiritual + medical matter be this?

Hmmmm.......

Cancer is cancer nothing spiritual, its just sad it was discovered late, if it was earlier he would have had a better chance hence the need for us to take our health and check up seriously.

What we should all pick from this thread is to stop taking panadol for everything and go to the hospital for routine check ups regularly so things can be found early and treated, turning this into a spiritual issue when it is an identified illness will be counter productive.

Early detection saves lives

I didn't mention type Sir. I said source is unkown and the extent of the spread was discovered via the result of the CT Scan

l was also pondering on this line of thought, the spiritual angle might also be a factor here......Oh Lord unto you we commit Dj.....show him mercy...

Its cancer the procedure needed to identify the specific is uncomfortable for the patient nothing mysterious. Abroad he would have had a less invasive procedure

Hmmm.

Aisha2 has explained well. Errrm...but we still need to know. Why are they not comfortable with laparotomy? Is it the cost or is it deadly seeing he is in stage 4?

Aisha2 or doctors in the house, what can you say about chemotherapy? That seems to be another option we have.

That's the koko. I'm just angry at the fact that something can be allowed to get to this stage just because luth wouldn't treat/investigate him cos of lack of funds.
It's just pathetic really that our Government don't provide the facilties to treat emergency patients.

If it has metastasized, it's possible that they see the secondary sites, but not the primary site. Most especially, if the ct wasn't done towards the primary site. E.g. if an abdominal ct scan was done and the primary site is in the lung, they might not really be able to see that from the ct.

Jaybee, which organs have been affected?

Caracta:

No wahala.

It's just that when medical conditions are attributed to spiritual influence it makes hope wane faster.

Are you sure this report was not taken from a Nollywood movie script? You guys have two doctors on the panel and accepted this?...and are suggesting that these people steer the way?...and carry out "targeted chemotheraphy"? Bro...even if is stage 4 cancer...to India he must go and not for chemo...chemo is a no no.

Thanks. We need to act fast. God bless. This is more serious than I thought but there is still hope.

And God in his might and infinite mercy would answer you and Aisha2's prayer by keeping him alive in Jesus name.

What exactly is he going to do in india if not chemo when there is pictorial evidence that it has spread?

Wait o,don't jump into conclusion. The indian hospitals said that when u sent the previous reports before discovering it was stage 4. Have u mailed them the current update before jumping its all about chemo?
