Caroleen’s Treasures

We are watching Correspondence and it is already almost 1am.They are featuring FUDA Cancer Hospital located in Guangzhou, CHINA. I really thank the doctors of FUDA for bringing to the world the new and better approach to cancer. I lost my mom to cancer of the gallbladder and Donald lost his father to cancer of naso-pharynx so there is a chance that we can have this killer illness too. It runs in the blood and I admit I was afraid to have this illness because cancer to me means death. Watching tonight’s episode eased all the worries. Of course I have to watch my diet so as to prevent cancer since some food contains carcinogen. But let’s come to think about the worst case scenario, I asked Donald what he would do if I will be diagnosed of this cruel illness and he answered, “Well….what should I do but to prepare of course.” I flashed a smile. Look at my knight in shining armor! He seemed very sincere but I know this conversation will end up to something. “I will start calling the funeral parlor and prepare for your burial.” Hahahahahahahaha! I almost kicked him out of the house. Well, that is the answer I am expecting but still I was anticipating to hear a kinder reply. But you see, my husband is such a bully. He can be mean but he can’t be meaner than me. LOL

Anyway back to FUDA, they give the best cancer treatment in the world. Why? Because of so many factors like their Cryosurgery. This is a procedure where they destroy tumor by freezing and thawing process. It is performed through intra-operative, endoscopic or per-cutaneous routes depending upon the location and size of tumor. It is localized which means the chemotherapy is directed to the area where the cancer is unlike the traditional chemotherapy which is given through IV. The traditional chemotherapy makes the patient suffer a lot.

After the Cryosurgery is performed, the patient will undergo Immunotherapy or what they call CIC. Basically, CIC refers to everything that research has shown to boost the immune system of the patient and restrict the effects of cancer and its associated symptoms. Immunotherapy is a general term that refers to the range of cutting-edge, as well as traditional medicines that they combine to enhance the body’s immune system. Therapies that includes in Immunotherapy are: Cytokine Induced killer Cells (CIK), Dendritic Cells (DC), ,, and Mixed Vaccines.

A patient who seek treatment at FUDA should prepare $22,500.00 (roughly P1 M) for the whole treatment package and the hospital stay. If you have insurance then it will be a big help. You can get free insurance quotes if you are still planning to apply for one. P1M is a lot of money for us who has meager income but come to think of it, combine what you’ll spend for chemotherapy and radiation treatments here plus the side effects are more than what you will pay to get rid of cancer there at FUDA. There are Filipinos who have been there and is now living a cancer free life for years and Filipinos who are there undergoing treatment. One Filipina named Kathleen David who has stage 4 breast cancer said that if you are diagnosed of cancer, come to FUDA at once because if you have a breast cancer, you might not need a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This is a great news! You can still keep your breasts! How cool is that?
