PALINEE SUTHISARUNSAK

PALINEE SUTHISARUNSAK from Thailand suffered multiple myeloma stage IV. During her stay, she showed us her smooth neck with tumor disappeared after the treatment. We couldn’t imagine that there was a tumor measuring 5*3cm in her neck due to multiple myeloma infiltration of the skin. Cancer disabled her ability to walk. According to her attending doctor, after a combined treatment of interventional therapy and natural therapy, her tumor marker and globulin have been reduced from 73 to 27 in which the normal range is between 20 to 30. All she need is to take regular monitoring.

At first, she didn’t detect any symptom. It was until Feb. 2017 that she felt intense pain in the back and waist, along with numbness and pain in right lower limb. In March, she took MRI for lumbar, which turned out to be bone metastasis. Local doctor assumed it must be cancer. Though she knows well about her own condition, she was surprised when being told the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. In Thailand, cancer basically means death to most people and the most common treatment for cancer is chemotherapy. “The reason why I don’t want systemic chemotherapy is the severe side effects such as hair loss, body weakness and vomit.” she said.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
