well, I've kind of lost track (it's very confusing - if you have a biopsy,
that's a procedure, a surgery is something different).
I think you've had 2 biopsies (and no surgery).
A biopsy of the nasopharyngeal tumour and a biopsy of a lump on your neck?
If you have both results, type the results here.
If you're still waiting for one result, let's wait until you have both biopsy
reports.
Did the ENT or anyone check your thyroid levels? (bloodwork)
Did any of them feel your thyroid?
Where exactly is this lump that was biopsied?
Side of neck, back of neck, front of neck?
There's lots of lymph nodes in the neck region, so at this point, I'm inclined
to think that you've only got one (type of) cancer.
So I'm just double-checking a few things to make sure.

I got yesterday about the same appointment I described above:

He has recovered quite well (sic!). He is still talking a lot about his
disease and his paranoia (sic!).
... He is refusing followup with psychiatry despite my urging him to return.
We had a long discussion regarding diagnosis (sic!) .
At this point, it's look like a nasopharyngeal malignancy WHO type III. I
will send him down to Radiation Oncology... "
Thanks. I'll bring the account of my meeting with the oncologist in my
following post.

Okay well, Araik.
I think that's where you left off..not telling us what happened on Friday with
the radiation therapist.
So I'll watch for your update.
Best,

There's a lot of claims on the internet.
Most have been disproven, including Gerson "therapy", but there'll always be
scammers trying to lead a patient astray.
Your best chance is to stick with the proven treatments.
If at any point, your cancer progresses to where there's no chance of cure (or
further treatment would be useless), you can ask your doctor to be honest with
you or tell us where it's spread. You can be sure you will get an honest reply
from Steph, ok?

First was fine niddle aspiration on the neck node directly under right ear
side on late July.
It didn't show anything. But after that the node become more firm and 2 more
small
nodes developed under the initial node and 1 - on left side.
Second was naso-biopsy on October 14 dignose of which I posted in a previous
post.
10 days after that, the throat still doesn't heel from soreness and feeling
blood taste in throat
area and nasal inside.

Besides, I feel numbness once a while in my right leg when I walk or stand
for some 10-20 minutes,
started in late May.
And, I feel once a while, itchyness specially around my stomach recently.
The MRI said hiatus hernia.
I am not sure if that's just innocent symptoms or mets or stage 6.
May be I am dead already but nobody tell me about that.

Dear appa,
There are two good news groups in which people discuss cancer stuff. They
are
sci.med.diseases.cancer
alt.support.cancer.breast
News groups can be accessed easily from outlook express. They are just like
any other email. However unless you specifically download all (sometimes
over 5000) you will have to read them while you are online.
the first one has more scientific stuff in it.
I just got a link to an article on a anticancer drug. I have attached it as
html file. The pictures may be missing. If you want to read the complete
article it is at the following website link.

Older background info... BAY 43-9006 BAY 32-9006
http://www.cancerguide.org/rcc_bay43-9006.html
This particular phase II study was orginally open to patients with any kind of
cancer resistent to treatment, but particularly to patients with colon cancer. But
after it was observed that colon cancer patients weren't benefiting and that a
surprising percentage of kidney cancer patients were, they investigators changed
direction and changed the trial to accept kidney cancer patients only.
Key Results:
* 89 Evaluable Kidney Cancer Patients
* 15% Partial Responses (More than 50% shrinkage) but no complete responses
* 27% Minor Responses (25 to 49% shrinkage)
* 50% Stable Disease at first evaluation (12 weeks)
* 8% Progressive Disease at first evaluation (12 weeks)
Time To Progression: It is difficult to estimate the time to progression for the
treated patients because half the patients in the randomized part of the trial were
taken off therapy.
Conflicting info ?:
Side Effects: 5% of patients had their dose reduced due to side effects, and 18% had
their treatment temporarily stopped due to side effects. No patient had to actually
stop treatment. The most common side effects were rash, hand and foot syndrome
(which means pain, swelling, redness of the hands and/or feet), fatigue and
diarrhea. Most were mild to moderate (grade 1 or 2) but some were more serious
(grade 3). None were life threatening. The doctors felt that overall this drug could
be used for long term administration. The October 2003 presentation gave a little
additional information. According to that presentation 36% of patients had no
significant side effects at all, while somewhere between 35 and 40% had at least a
grade 3 side effect which means pretty significant. Again, even so called mild side
effects (grade 1 or 2) such as nausea or diarrhea can be wearing if they occur over
an extended period of time.

Update on Phase III Sorafenib Trial in Patients with Advanced Kidney Cancer
Article Date: 07 Nov 2005
In the Phase III trial, the rate of significant adverse events (grade 4) was
comparable for patients receiving Sorafenib or placebo. Grade 3 adverse events
were modestly elevated in the Sorafenib-treated group (31 percent) as compared
to placebo patients (22 percent). Drug-related adverse events (all grades) were
consistent with those observed in previous clinical trials and included: rash,
diarrhea, hand foot syndrome, hair loss, itching, nausea, hypertension, and
fatigue.
Phase III Trial Design
More than 900 patients with advanced kidney cancer participated in the
international Phase III study. Patients were randomized one-to-one to receive
either 400 mg Sorafenib or placebo twice a day. The endpoints of the study
include: overall survival, progression-free survival, best response, quality of
life (patient-related outcomes), and safety. In April 2005, the study was
modified to allow patients who were receiving placebo to “cross over” to drug
treatment based on the magnitude of the progression-free survival benefit for
Sorafenib-treated patients.
About Sorafenib
Sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) Tablets, a novel investigational agent, is the
first oral multi-kinase inhibitor that targets kinases in both the tumor cell
and its vasculature. In preclinical models, Sorafenib blocked kinases known to
be involved in proliferation (tumor growth) and angiogenesis (tumor blood
supply) - two important cancer growth activities. These kinases included RAF
kinase, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, PDGFR-É¿, KIT, FLT-3, and RET.
http://www.acr.org/s_acr/sec_healthnews.asp?CID=3155&DID=21487
5/17/2005 12:31:13 PM
Investigators in the multinational study randomly assigned 769 patients with
previously treated, advanced clear-cell RCC to sorafenib 400 mg b.i.d. or
supportive care.
Median progression-free survival was 24 weeks in the sorafenib group and 12
weeks in the supportive care group (p < 0.00001). The 12-week progression-free
rate was 79% and 50%, respectively.
Grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred in 30% of those on sorafenib and 22% of
those in the control group.
These results are "clinically significant," Walter M. Stadler, MD, one of the
study investigators based at the University of Chicago told Reuters Health.
The current standard for treating RCC is interferon, and "you get a very modest
improvement in survival on the order of 1 month," Stadler said, and
interleukin-2, which is only effective for about 1% of patients.

Bayer still sees approval for kidney cancer drug Nexavar in US, Europe in 2006
12.09.2005, 03:08 AM
LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AFX) - Bayer AG said it still expects approvals for its Nexavar
drug to treat kidney cancer to be granted in the US in the first half and in Europe
in the second half of 2006.
Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration gave the drug priority review
status for the kidney cancer indication after a successful trial.
In addition to kidney cancer, Nexavar - also known as Sorafenib - is being tested in
combination with chemotherapy in a Phase III trial for skin cancer, as well as in a
Phase III trial as treatment for advanced liver cancer.
At its R&D day yesterday, Bayer said it also wants to test the drug against lung
cancer at a phase III trial to start in the first half of next year.
This 'additional' indication 'raises the product's sales potential to more than 1
bln eur,' chief executive Werner Wenning said.
Excluding the lung cancer indication, analysts had expected 500 mln eur in peak
sales. Bayer has previously said this expectation is 'realistic'.
Nexavar, also known as Sorafenib, is developed in a collaboration with US-based Onyx
Pharmaceuticals. |

No, he is not. You just seem to be pissed off, because the results do not |

evidence supporting it. But that's science, you have to accept results even
if they don't support your hypothesis or opinion.
