Stage 4 colon Cancer moved to Lungs for the 2nd time AGE of Patient 55

Age: 55

male

Living in Mexico and will fly anywhere in the world for top notch

care

Current medical provider: Kaiser SoCal

Treatments/Diagnosis: Jan 2019 colonoscopy found a tumor.  No sign of cancer in my blood.  CEA normal. 

March 2019 colon resection to remove stage 3n2 tumor and lymph nodes of

descending colon.  After 3 months of

healing June 2019 full spectrum chemo using Oxaliplatin for 6 months. Discontinued

the oxi about 4 months in due to neuro damage. this chemo took out my left knee

and now have bad arthritis. gained 50 lbs during chemo.  I was fasting 2 days before chemo at the time

and 3 days during and taking pro-biotics.

Metastasis to new location Aug 2020 then told in Dec 2020: CT

showed metastasis to Right lung now stage 4 and PET/CT along with lung biopsy

confirmed this finding. Bloodwork normal no increase in CEA.  Spring 2021 did SBRT radiation for 3 treatments

and then did chemo I believe with Fulfox. Chemo lasted for 4 months out of 6

due to me getting pneumonia.  Then pneumonia

cleared up after 2 months of treatment and CT in NOV 2021 show No signs of

tumors. gained 50 lbs during chemo.  Diet

or fasting protocol wasn’t followed during this treatement

2021 OCT began keto diet and intermittent fasting and lost 50lbs as

of end of Feb 2022

2022 March: CT results showed a tumor at old location 1cm, however

I felt it might be due to having covid or some nasty bug in Jan. so I redid CT

in May 2022 and tumor increased to 2cm. June 2022 did a Pet/CT and CT guided

biopsy.  Conclusion is tumor has returned

or a new one in same location has developed. Pet/Ct shows no other sites where

it has moved to. Tumor has no Uptick in MMRd or MSI.  I don’t believe I am a candidate for

Dostarlimab which works on 10% of colon cancer tumors but they need to have the

MMrd/MSI deformations.

Kaiser oncologist wants to start me on Xeloda 500mg asap and get

blood work done while I wait for Pulmonary consult to see if tumor can be

removed. I don't feel a 3rd round of "STANDARD CARE" with chemo only

will give better results.  So I am

looking in other directions.

I have come across a Dr by the Name of Jonathan Stegall MD out of The Center for Advanced

Medicine.

Has anyone had any success or know of successes via his process? I

am leaning towards spending the $80k for his treatment, however I am at a loss

because as I can't find reviews of his clinic or his work. His podcast Cancer

Secrets is how I found him. However, he has a bunch of ecomm stuff attached to

him and since I did ecomm for many years I know how that space can be and it’s

making me skeptical. Obviously, they don't take insurance and will want a %

paid up front. Thankfully we have plenty of savings even in this horrid economy

so that the 80K won’t hurt us or how we live.

I have 3 young kids (1 a newborn) and they are what keep my

mindset on point and keep me visualizing beating this disease and being there

for each of their weddings.  I am a

massively strong minded individual and I know for certainty mindset is 90% of

this battle. However, I am asking for assistance in regard to the other 10% and

that is treatment options. I like the integrative idea because standard Kaiser

HMO has not succeeded to my expectations on the last 2 tries and I feel a 3rd

will not be different.

I am looking for assistance with:

Is there someone better than Dr Stegall i might want to fly and

meet?

Is there better clinic that deals with stage 4 colon cancer that i

might want to fly to and meet?

Do you have a recommendation on a different Integrative Oncology Dr that

specialized in stage 4 non-mutated colon cancer?

is there a treatment protocol i am not aware of that might want to

research?

I am open to suggestions, and I can fast and do things that are

difficult.

Thanks in advance for any positive input
