[theDukes]

Where and experiences?

[market trader]

I think your question is to general. There are many types of oncologists depending upon the type of cancer to be treated. Example radiation oncologist, Hematology oncologist etc.

[hellodolly]

Sorry to hear of the possible need for one.

I got this off the pined topics It was the only one there.

ONCOLOGY/HEMATOLOGY (Cancer)

Dr. Rattiya Cheewakriangkrai

M.D. Medical Oncologist / Hematologist

Chiang Mai RAM Hospital

053 920300

[Jobo]

I have used Dr Rattiya. All her education and training in USA and at Mayo Clinic.

Although I elected to have my treatment in my home country I still use her for follow up checks and she is very good.

However worth getting 2nd opinions anyway.

Oncologists usually specialise in certain types of cancers, for example head and neck,lung,lymphoma etc. They will then recommend certain treatments or combinations of treatments eg radio therapy or chemo therapy at which time other experts will be consulted to design the treatment program.

Need any more info let me know.

Liver and/or lungs. The doctor in Chiang Rai and the radiologist say 2 different things and we'd like to get a second opinion.

I was diagnosed with a type of lymphoma at Suan Dok. I asked the Doc there where she would go for treatment if it were her; Chula she said. Off to Chula I went. At Chula they asked for the piece that was cut out of me. They diagnosed it as a completely different type of lymphoma, requiring a much more aggressive therapy. Very glad I went to Bangkok. Six years later, I am healthy. Knock on wood. During the treatment I was lucky to have an Oncologist in the USA - that a Doctor friend put me in touch with - that I could email and double check with. He was happy with what they were doing in Bangkok.

Eat plenty of green vegetables, preferably juiced.

Take a few grams of vitamin C every day.

Investigate the gerson institute, and the gerson approach to cancer.

Do everything you can to give strength to your immune system, especially if you have chemotherapy.

And refined sugar and processed foods should be eliminated entirely from one's diet.

Dr Kannika at Rajavej specialises in oncology of the liver, she's Professor Emeritus at CMU and a really nice lady.

Yes, I'd go to her.

Even if she can't give you what you want, she will advise you accordingly.

As Chiang Mai said, she's very knowledgeable and a nice lady.

Do everything you can to give strength to your immune system, especially if you have chemotherapy.

And refined sugar and processed foods should be eliminated entirely from one's diet.

I would agree with all of that (dietary changes) except from my personal experience I found alternative cancer treatments a total failure. A very few people may have succeeded in eliminating their cancers this way but not many.

The secret is to get diagnosis and treatment asap,especially if it's lung or liver cancer.

And you need to give up alcohol and cokes etc at least until you are cancer free. Hard to do but that's what I did. Now hardly drink at all.

Large amounts of vitamin C seem to have a good record for many.

My understanding is that the system we have for detecting cancer cannot detect it early enough to be of much use.

I think i would say you need to give up cokes and such drinks forever. They likely contributed a lot to any initial cancer in the first place.

The key thing is to build up your immune system, and dietary measures are the best way of doing this. The problem with chemo is that it weakens the immune system, so taking supplementary measures is necessary. Many of course won't take chemo for this reason and will pursue mainly dietary-based solutions alone.

[orang37]

I had excellent treatment for a squamous-cell carcinoma of the lower tongue six years ago at the public Maharaj Hospital (also referred to as Suan Dok by many because it's near Wat Suan Dok) on Thanon Suthep. As an expat, I "entered" the Maharaj Hospital through the "Sriphat" administrative unit which handles expats. "Sriphat" is both the name of the administrative unit, and the name of a building where you will stay if you require in-patient treatment (nice rooms, friendly staff).

I have been lucky: no recurrence, but my taste buds are mainly dead, and my natural salivary function damaged, which are fairly typical after-effects of radiation of this oral-zone radiation. My vocal cords are altered by the internal changes in the lower tongue and vallecula area, and I am afraid my career in Karaoke has been cut-short

The head of the radiation oncology unit, Dr. Vicharn (full name "Loavicharn"), is American trained and board-certified, and has published research internationally, and is considered, I am told, to be the "number one" radiation oncologist in Thailand.

He also supervised my two four-day in hospital heavy-duty chemotherapy sessions prior to radiation therapy, and the much milder chemo given on an out-patient basis, during part of the thirty-five-day or so period of radiation therapy.

I would highly recommend him, and the clinic. Feel free to PM me for other information.

good luck, ~o:37;

Like orang37 I too had SCC but in my left palatine tonsil of all places which had metastasised to several lymph nodes in my neck. I tried massive doses of vitamin c intravenously as well as other intravenous (Ozone treatment) and oral "alternative successful" cancer cures. They did not work unfortunately and all the time that metastasis was ongoing.

I did not resort to radiation and chemo for 12 months after I was diagnosed at Chiang Mai Ram and which was later confirmed via PET scan at Bangkok Hospital. Don't leave it too long is my advice.

So my advice to the OP is to get a proper diagnosis which these days unfortunately means a CT or PET scan. Then decide to try some alternative treatments if it's non aggressive or only Stage 1 or 2.

PM me for further info.
