Stomach / Lambung
In October 2008, LK, a 71-year-old lady was diagnosed with Stage 2 carcinoma of the stomach. She was referred to an oncologist for chemotherapy, but she declined. Instead, she and her family came to seek help at CA Care.
More than 2 years have passed. 5 December 2010, LK came to our centre to seek help with the itchiness that deprived her of her sleep every night. Her legs were weak and she had no strength to walk, compounded by her long-standing backaches. See how e-Therapy helped her. |
