The doctors went to war with Linda’s cancer. All Interested Parties involved won the game. Linda was the only unfortunate loser or victim. Let us not blame anybody for that is the way the world operates! When Linda’s daughter came to consult me, she brought a pile of documents. It took me more than a whole day to sort them out and figure out what was going on. There are many lessons we (YOU and ME) can learn from Linda’s unfortunately experience. First, let me pose one question: If you have a similar problem like Linda, would you take the same route – go through the same process? Do exactly w ..read more

by A  Patient from London I was 40 years old when I was diagnosed with advanced cancer of the bowel which had spread to my ovaries, uterus, liver and lung. My symptoms came on suddenly and violently. Within 2 weeks of feeling unwell beginning with a swollen belly, lack of appetite, and difficulty breathing, I was bed bound with hardly any strength to take myself to the toilet. It was terrifying how fast I deteriorated from being a healthy active woman to being unable to dress myself. The initial CT scan at the hospital revealed a mass the size of a rugby ball in my abdomen. My right lung ..read more

In the early morning of 4 February 2020, I received an email from YK. Good morning, Dr. Chris. I am YK. Kenny recommended me to see you for treatment of my husband’s cancer.  My husband, EK, is quite weak but he is so adamant to travel to Penang to see you personally and seek your treatment.

EK, 60 years old, was wheeled into our centre. This is what his wife told us: EK is rather weak but appeared determined to fi ..read more

Jim (not his real name) is a 52-year-old Malaysian. He is both a smoker and a drinker. About two years ago, October 2017, he was diagnosed with colon cancer.

According to his wife, Jim did well and he put on weight. Life went back to norm ..read more

In my earlier posting, I shared the story of SE who had colon cancer, underwent surgery but refused follow-up chemotherapy. To many people, SE is taking a great risk by rejecting chemotherapy. But according to her doctor, chemo or no chemo, the final outcome would be about the same — not much difference! So, where is the risk? If you were SE what would you do? Go for chemo or not? It seems the answer to SE is obvious. NO chemo after discussing with her family about what the oncologist had told her. On top of it, SE has a son (let’s call him YA, story below) who was also diagnosed with colon ca ..read more

Almost every day cancer patients write or come to me for help. For the past few weeks, I saw cases after cases of colon cancer. The cancer cases come in a non-random, wave-like patent. It looks like these past weeks is a “colon cancer season.” Indeed I find this strange and unexplainable. I have already written two cases of colorectal cancer earlier! And now I am going to share a few more cases with you. Case of: Honest doctor, shockingly honest advice! SE is a 62-year-old Malaysian lady. About three months ago she passed out blood in her stools. She went to private hospital and did an endosco ..read more
