Carrie Kumpel, a high school teacher from Bakersfield, CA, was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that spread to her liver. Over the past 5 years she had been through a variety of systemic treatments, ranging from radiation pills to chemotherapy, all exacting a physical toll on her body. Looking for alternative treatments, Carrie learned about clinical trials for a treatment called Histotripsy, a non-invasive cancer treatment that uses ultrasound to break up tumor cells. There are no incisions, no radiation and none of the physical recovery that comes with traditional treatments. It was the perfect treatment for Carrie as she continued her battle with cancer.

It's horrible what they do to cancer patients. He missed diagnosed you, and that's the norm with radiologist. Good luck to you. How come the oncologist and or radiologist missed diagnosed her and now she is stage 4 metastatic cancer!!!? Being this has been the treatment in Japan and back in 2005. God bless and I hope they pay for treatment being he or she was wrong and it spread.

@marykaywylie8694 4 месяца назад

Will be more impressed when enough cases have been followed for accurate positive outcomes. ALSO , believe this was first done in Japan several years ago. Why not offered as option in in major cancer centers like Sloan Kettering?

The metabolic approach to cancer Book as been a Godsend to me. Off sugar - which cancer fees off of and No glutan or processed foods - a ketogenic approach and My tumor is shrinking in breast - so the Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha Winters I Highly recommend. I would love know if this Histotrypsy is done in Los Angeles, I would be interested in adding this to my chemo & immune therapy. I'm on number 8 of 16 and no bad side effects other than bald and some red dots on my legs but overall - exercising and feeling good during chemo. I have one a week. I attribute the book and what I'm doing from the book to be a positive way for me to go. I saw you were baking with flour - I would highly suggest no glutan/flour/wheat any of that. It's going to help a lot in turning things around I truly believe the book I mentioned (has helped so many who opted a non invasive approach ) or anyone doing chemo and immune just following the book and what to eat and not to eat and many other things noted in the book - like fasting on day of chemo and doing intermittent fasting throughout. Many success stories from this approach.

I just have a question. Why did the inventors decided to do trials for treating lesions in the liver? I am just curious. But I really hope that it will expand to other organs as well so that many other patients will be able to benefit from this!

@thefraw 3 месяца назад

The procedure works better on organs that don't have any or much gas, aren't obstructed by bones and are close to the surface of the skin. There is a great paper published by Dr Xu available online

If this is fast painless and noninvasive why the need for general anesthesia?

@michelletidler6773 2 месяца назад

Because the patient has to be completely still and the anesthesia allows for this.

Try an holistic MD. You might he better results. Holistic MDs tend to be expensive though, the improvements might be greater. Iodine and selenium might be helpful against cancer. 🙌🏾

Ah, so, why can't she have the procedure for her new tumors?

@paulgill7222 3 месяца назад

I suppose damage occurs to normal tissues near the tumor, but the liver can regenerate where other organs are not able to. Also some tumors like glioblastoma, if you remove the tumor let's say with surgery, you would need to remove at least 1cm in radius all around the tumor. The reason being cancer cells have already penetrated the good brain tissue. You cut that part out, don't know how many other functions of the body will stop or be affected seriously.

@joepayne-rg3pc 2 месяца назад

Since the tumors came back she really needs to start treating the root cause of why she is suseptible to cancer. The Metabolic Approach is the best way to get to the root of why these tumors popping up. This looks like a great way to treat the problem when it arises, but using the Metabolic Approach for prevention is best.

Your doctor was the person who was wrong , he should have said come back to him every month and we will scan it every other month , it would have been caught before it spread . A lazy and uncaring doctor .
