Suggest Treatment For Left Frontal Benign Stage-II Atypical Meningioma

default
Posted on Mon, 4 Sep 2017
Question: Hi,

This is regarding health issue of my mom aged 50yrs suffering from Left frontal Benign Stage-II(Atypical) Meningioma from last 5+ years. Brief history of the case is as follows:


August 2012 (Surgery-I)
Pre Diagnosis: She was very fit & active in all her activities. She had no symptoms as such.
Diagnosis : On a fine day, suddenly she got fits/seizures and when CT scan was performed, it was diagnosed with Tumour in brain which was there from last 4 years and had grown in significant size and pressuring other parts. This made mom's right side semi paralysed with difficulty in speaking. So, doctor suggested for an immediate surgery.
Post-Surgery: Doctor couldn't remove tumour completely because of its position(sticked to CNS) and sent the tumour samples to Biopsy. Even post-surgery, mom was unable to use her right half and had difficulty in speaking. For which, doctor said it will improve upon time and by doing physiotherapy.
Biopsy Result: Tumour turned out to be Grade/Stage-I benign tumour and doctor suggested us to not to worry about residual part and it will have less impact as its benign and stage-I tumour and asked to continue the anti-seizures medicines.

Interim:
She was getting unpredictable seizures even after continuing the prescribed medicines and we used to have monthly/quarterly check-ups with the surgery doctor and also MRI scans with/without contrast whenever suggested. Every time he used to say its normal but mom was experiencing very bad days with unpredictable seizures.

April 2014 (Surgery-II)
Pre Diagnosis: As always seizures strike again and this time it was non-stop and continuing for an hour which turned into 2, 3 hours and had to admit her again :(
Diagnosis: It got to know from MRI Scan that tumour’s size again got increased and this time tumour branched out and created sub tumours in different directions and again doctor suggested for surgery, as tumour was too reactive.
Post-Surgery: Again, doctor couldn't remove tumour completely and sent the tumour to biopsy. This time also it had impact on the right limbs.
Biopsy Result: Tumour has upgraded his stage and its now identified to be Stage-II Benign and Atypical tumour which has good chances to recur at a rapid rate. So suggested Radiotherapy right after surgery.

May 2014 (Radio Therapy)
Treatment: 35 days Rapid XXXXXXX Radiotherapy started and mom had to visit for treatment sessions.
Post-Treatment: As usual, she had to experience worse side-effects of the treatment and the seizures have become quite common for her.

Interim:
She was getting unpredictable seizures even after continuing the prescribed medicines and we used to have monthly/quarterly check-ups with the surgery doctor and also MRI scans with/without contrast whenever suggested. Every time he used to say its normal but mom was experiencing very bad days with unpredictable seizures.

May 2017 (Hospitalization-I)
She again was getting prolonged seizures and had to hospitalize her for some time and doctor has added 2 more medicines to the list and again assured that its quite common and normal. But, it was horrible experience even to see. Imagine how bad it would be for mom.

August 2017 (Hospitalization-II)
She again was getting prolonged seizures and had to hospitalize her for some time and doctor has added 1 more medicines to the list and the same thing is going on.

Current Situation
Mom got very much weak because of seizures and giddiness and with powerful medicines and its continuing from last 5 years. I am currently looking for some serious permanent cure for this horrible disease and get rid of it at the earliest and relieve mom from all this, so that she can spend rest of her life happily.

Any suggestions/help would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I appreciate for raising your query
i will try to answer one by one

1. Possibility of removing tumor completely with homeopathy medicine.
Homeopathy has good medicine for the tumor removal. But their are also some influencing factor which may alter the result. Like location, size and type. Meanwhile i have already given Thuja which would act on tumor and help to remove and also it will stop development of new . But understand this would not be so easy as it require long course of medication and response of medicine also.

2. Possibility of controlling seizures
We have seen that the frequency seizure are controlled by the medicine. But the result depend case to case basis.

3. Possibility of regaining hairs back
for me this is difficult to predict the regaining of hair as she has been under radiotherapy. Normally hair regain with in 1 year> arnica has good response in hair fall due the medicine or disease.

4. Possibility of revitalizing the right half
It depends and require more specific details and reports to review

5. Where can i get the suggested medicines
You may find these medicine in any homeopathic pharmacy. You may also place your order through online portal

Hope this is answer your query in case of any

Thanks

Thanks for the brief inline response.

Can these medicines be taken
1. Along with Halopathic medicines
2. Along with Ayurvedic medicines
3. Will the dosage of halopathic have any side effects (can be silly question)

I heard few online reviews that hoemopathy has tendency to shrink and permanently cure tumor & its residue & symptoms along with their detailed case studies. How far is that true?

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

1. Along with Halopathic medicines
Yes medicine can be taken along with allopathic medicine. But maintain a gap of ateast 1 hour between these two.

2. Along with Ayurvedic medicines

Yes
3. Will the dosage of halopathic have any side effects
Question not clear

Regarding the role of homeopathic medicine for the permamnent removal of tumor medicine has good role and well proven in many case. and tumor has been removed or shrink after the medication.
But also every case is different and many time result are not as expected.
So meanwhile i would suggest you to start the medicine and then we will see how is the progress and if required we will change the medicine as required.

Thanks for following up dr.

3rd question was --> Impact, if we go with excess dose of homeopathic medicines than the prescribed.

And also just want to confirm is there any change in the list of 6 medicines prescribed based on our discussion to start the new routine.

I was searching for the medicines online and could found all of those are available in the form of liquids not as pills. Am quite new to homeopathy, so it would be good if you can share few more details on the medicines- does those liquids needs to be mixed with sugar or sugar coated tiny balls or how it is.

Thanks,
XXXX

Detailed Answer:
3rd question:- Impact, if we go with excess dose of homeopathic medicines than the prescribed.
Their is no side effect of medicine. Medicine are given in minimum effective dose. dose is so minimum that it just act in the body. their is no issue if you increase +/- 2-4 drops or pills of medicine in a day. But try not to repeat every time.

Meanwhile their is no change in medicine. Continue with the same medicine as prescribed.

1 Calcarea Flour 1M 4 pills once in day (morning after the breakfast)
2 Thuja 1CM 4 pills once in 15 days only (2 dose in a month 15th and 30th of the month)
3 Artemisia Vul Q 20 drops with half cup of water 4 times in a day (20 drops with half cup of water morning / noon/ evening/ night)
4 Indigo 6x 10 grain twice in day morning and evening
5 R33 20 drops with half cup of water four times in a day (20 drops with half cup of water morning / noon/ evening/ night)
6 Arnica 1M 4 pills once in day (evening)
Medicine might be change in next course of treatment if required

After getting the medicine if you any doubt regarding the dose and route you may ask me.

Hope this is clear to you

Thanks
