New plan for my life

Today after consulting the doctor, I realize all this while she is just trying to prolonged my life till one day I die. But this is not what I want. I want a solution. To me this is already like gambling. If I buy chemo, I might die immediatelly or may have 3 years of life. Coz my money can cover 3 years. If I go chinese medicines, I might also die immediately or have longer live Span.

Then to go continue chemo seem not a very good choice as the prop ability of living the most is only 3 years. She tell me my tumor will not have chance to disappear. We can only control the size and spread.

So many cases in Malaysia that people live even thought doctor tell them they have 3 months left. Doctor did not tell me how ling is my life but so I should be in better position than those who doctor say only got 3 months left.

Today is my last day of chemotherapy. After 9 cycle, I finally felt like being cheated. Even without the 9 times chemotherapy I might still be living for this 6 months. Is never too late.

Next week once my white blood cells are back to normal, I will follow the new live. Chinese medicine here I come.

Porcupine Date for Cancer

Porcupine date is a rare "stone" that found in the stomach of a porcupine.
Porcupine is a mammalian that live in forests. It has a coat of sharp spines
that defend them from predators. It is herbivore. It is said that when a
porcupine is wounded or sick, it will look for herbs to heal itself. As the
healing progress, stone may form in the stomach.

As the body system, genetic build up, and the environment where the porcupine
get herbs for healing are different from each other, hence the outlook, the
smoothness, the size, the quality, and the colours of the porcupine dates that
formed are different.

The porcupine date that stay longer in the body of the porcupine may has
bigger size, much more medicament properties, and hence better quality.
However, not all porcupines produce porcupine date in their bodies, and if it
does one porcupine only can form one porcupine date each. This is why
porcupine dates are of precious price.

There are 3 types of porcupine dates, namely,

1. "Blooded",

2. "Powdery", this type of porcupine date is found in much stronger
porcupine. It is of the best quality among all types and hence it
is the most expensive type of porcupine dates. It has smooth surface
and it is much more harder when compared to other types of porcupine
dates.

3. "Grassy", this type of porcupine date has more coarser surface when
compared to the other two types. It is of greenish brown colour.
Although it is among the cheapest porcupine date it is of good quality
as well.

The differences depend on the regions where the porcupines are found. Nowadays,
the "blooded" is not common. The "powdery" and the "grassy" types are as good.

In tradition, porcupine date had been used as medicine by hill tribes in the
Southern China and South-East Asia. Olden Chinese medical text had recorded the
uses of porcupine date. It is used as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, natural
antibody, immunization booster, and body-detox.

Today, the porcupine date is well-known in Chinese society in South-East Asia.
It is widely used by the Chinese Malaysian as an alternative medicine in the
treatment of cancer, dengue fever, meningitis, herpes, throat infection,
pneumonia and others.
