Our Wonderful Reunion with Ella in Singapore

In an earlier posting, I shared our wonderful meeting with Henny in Surabaya in early August 2019.

Come 31 August and 1 September 2019, Im and I were in Singapore.

We flew there to meet up with Ella and Peter from Melbourne, Australia. They are our dear friends (and patient).

This is indeed another wonderful “reunion” story to share with you.

 

Ella was diagnosed with cancer of the endometrium, ten years ago — Novermber / December 2008. She underwent surgery – TAHBSO (total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy), omentum and left and right pelvic nodes. This was performed in Melbourne by one of Australia’s best surgeon.

After the surgery, Ella was asked to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She refused the treatments. She opted for the CA Care Therapy instead.

Watch this video:

Ella: The surgeon told me: To the best of my knowledge, I have got all the cancer that I can see. But you know and I know that the cancer is so minute, I don’t know. What I can offer you is to go to the oncologist and do chemo and radiation. Then I told her: You know and I know that I wouldn’t do that!

Then the surgeon said: In my knowledge – and I am a very good surgeon – you have two and a half years if you do chemo and radiation.

Two and half years? The surgeon then said: But if you don’t do it, maybe it is just three months.

Ella told the surgeon: No, I’ll prove you wrong.

Ten years after the surgery, we met in Singapore.

Who is ill?

Surely the pictures above show that no one is sick!

Thank God, all of us are just doing great!

Ella had proven the surgeon was wrong in her prognosis!

You don’t need to die if you don’t undergo chemo and radiation!

The irony is that even with chemo and radiation Ella was told she only has two and a half years!

The first word Ella said to me when we met in Singapore: I am still alive!

Let us celebrate this wonderful blessing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seven years on and she is just doing great! Praise God for this miraculous healing

In early August 2019, Im and I visited Surabaya. It was great to be able to meet up with our friends! Besides Budi and his wife Ani, we were also able to meet Henny, Ratna and her family.

How many of you ever wonder why I posted these photos?

Look at picture above, everyone is happy and no one is sick, right?

Yes, that is right. And behind that “picture”, we want to celebrate with you God’s miracle and wonderful blessing.

The lady in the picture (left) is Henny and on the right is Ratna. We first met Henny, from Surabaya, seven years ago – in April 2012. Henny was then forty-two years old. A CT scan showed many nodules in her lungs. The biggest nodule in her right lung was 4.8 x 4.8 x 5.1 cm. The biggest nodule in her left lung was 4.2 x 5.6 x 4.6 cm (picture below).

Henny went to Singapore for further management. A biopsy confirmed it was a synovial sarcoma. She was asked to go for chemotherapy. She refused it.  Henny and her niece, Ratna, came to seek our help in June 2012.

This was what Ratna told us, “The Singapore oncologist said my aunty will die within six months if she did not do the chemo. If she did the chemo, she would live for only two years. No cure.”

I told Henny, “This is indeed a rare cancer which I have not encountered before. I am not sure if the herbs can help you or not. Understand that I cannot cure your cancer. I can only do my best to help you.”

Henny was prescribed herbs and was told to take care of her diet.

Today, after seven years,Henny is still healthy! Praise God.

Henny has proven the doctor wrong! The doctor was wrong to say that Henny would die within six months if she did not undergo chemotherapy. The doctor was probably right to say that even if she had chemo she would die within two years! Empowered patients know that chemo can kill!
