After families and friends heard that my wife had
cancer, many of them gave suggestions as to where to seek treatment. We got
lots of information, which makes us confused. All intend to help. Thanks to all
who care to us.
One of my wife's friends gave information that
there is a seminar on cancer held by doctors from Singapore. I tried to call and the
seminar from Parkway. We came to the seminar held at the hotel at Asia Afrika Bandung .
The seminar explains about cancer in general and
especially that affects many women. There was explained about treatments with
chemo and radiation. Now there is a new radiation machine whose name
TomoTherapy. This machine has a higher degree of precision.
After of the seminar, we were given the
opportunity to meet with the doctors. They were very clearly explained the NPC
that attack my wife. Treatment is primarily radiotherapy. After examining my
wife physical condition, they estimate between stage 2 or 3. The doctor warned
that to get radiation treatment, one of the most important requirements is a
good tooth (dental healthy).
This dental problem then becomes concern and
crucial problem during treatment in Singapore.
Both doctors recommend that examined MRI and
pet-scan. But it should be done by hospital in Singapore. Than done in Indonesia continues to be repeated in Singapore.
Wasting money.
We got the referral from Prof Helmi so my wife
checked the CT-scan to ascertain what stage my wife at the time. I decided to
get CT-scan first to make sure my wife was on what stage.
I tried to register to government insurance
(BPJS) and seek hospital in Bandung
which could CT-scan. I learned that a good hospital for a CT-scan is Borromeous Hospital
and Sentosa Hospital.
I tried to Sentosa Hospital,
but the hospital could not accept my BPJS because different regions and her CT
scan tool is being repaired. Ouch
I tried to Borromeous Hospital.
But the doctor was on a seminar. It could take up to 5 days after a CT scan to
get the result. Because it was already Friday and the doctor on duty read CT
scans are also being seminar. Ouch
After wondering, I recommended to Jakarta to for CT-scan
for more sophisticated tools and quick also giving the result. Hospital name is
MRCCC Siloam.
My friend suggested we try to go to Dr Eko Wahyu.
Dr Eko practice in Yogya and has a lot to cure cancer patients. This doctor use
curcumin to cure her patients. I tried to call to Yogya, it turns out that
doctors also practice in Serpong once a month. Saturday's practice. Thank God!
On the same day can see Dr Eko Wahyu and CT-scan also in MRCCC Siloam.
Finally Saturday we went to Jakarta and a CT-scan. Its results can be
taken tomorrow afternoon
said the hospital officials. Sunday morning we met Dr Eko Wahyu. After
seeing the results of the biopsy, Dr Eko gave some kind of capsule for my wife
drinks. According to Dr. Eko, cell carcinoma that its life spans of 4 months.
Capsules from her to prevent the spread of the cancer cell and let the cell to
die by itself. Because the doctor can not knew what stage was then she only
gave partially given medicine, wait until outcome of the scan. Dr Eko is a good
doctor and patient explaining about cancer. My wife was advised not to go near
a smoker, banned food containing preservatives and MSG.
Later that afternoon we took a CT-scan. My wife
has been advised that I should not read the results. Later on when we get in Bandung.
After up in Bandung
we tried to read. We did not understand the results because many of medical
terms that we did not understand.
My wife did not want to know what stage she at
that time, just make depressed she said. The important thing is find her a good
doctor, she want to be healed!
I then decided to take my wife to Singapore. I
was looking for information to which hospital we must chose. At that time there
are 2 options to NUH or SGH. Finally I choose NUH, because a doctor at SGH
recommended by the agent was attending a seminar.
Only matters of choosing which hospital alone is
stress. All I do alone. Frantic mind, it seems no one was helping. Very tired.
