Promising treatment for rectal cancer confirmed in major study

A new treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer shows favorable results in that surgery can sometimes be avoided completely. It also reduces the risk of recurrence.

Rectal cancer affects around 2,000 people in Sweden every year. Of these, a third have a high risk of recurrence. Patients often first receive radiotherapy or a combination of radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy for five weeks, followed by surgery and usually an additional round of chemotherapy for up to six months.

A study shows that it is possible to double the chance of eliminating the need to surgically remove part of the bowel if all radiotherapy and chemotherapy are given first and then the patient undergoes surgery, if necessary.

Patient data was collected for a large number of patients via the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry (SCRCR)..

Locally advanced rectal cancer has traditionally been treated with a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, followed by surgery and further chemotherapy. Four years ago, a randomized study showed that an alternative approach of one week of radiotherapy followed by just over four months of chemotherapy resulted in more tumors disappearing completely and fewer having distant metastases.

Later on, however, slightly more local recurrences were observed. Uppsala was the first region to choose to introduce this treatment, but with a shortened chemotherapy period of three months. Several other regions later followed suit.

The new study confirms the results of the previous randomized study, but also that the noted increase in local recurrences was not observed here.

"With the old treatment, the randomized study failed to find any tumor in 14% of patients who underwent surgery. The new model doubled that figure to 28%. The new Swedish study had the same results, but without an increase in local recurrence rate after almost five years of follow-up," says Glimelius.

I had colon cancer in 2010. My descending colon was 100% blocked and leaking. They removed 22 inches including my sigmoid colon and biopsied 32 lymph nodes. They found no cancer in any lymph nodes, much to the surgeon’s surprise. She went to pathology and examined it herself as she was sure they were wrong. The one tumor that blocked my colon was it and the periphery was clean, so no chemo or radiation was required. I wore a wound vac system for about a month to make sure my abdominal cavity did not get infected.

I wore a colostomy bag for about 7 months and then had reconnection surgery. Problem was that I heal very fast. Fast healing caused massive adhesions in my entire abdominal cavity. When they began, they expected reconnection surgery to be done with laparoscopic surgery, but with all the adhesions they cut me groin to ribs and spent eight hours on the operating table cutting the mass of adhesions to separate my intestines. They wrapped my intestines all in Sepra Film to prevent future adhesions. (I woke up on the operating table with my arms still strapped to boards and all the tubes still in me. That was a bit uncomfortable.)

For both surgeries, I was driving within a week and switched to Tylenol immediately after surgery.

The entire treatment from initial cancer surgery through reconnection surgery and healing was less then one year with little fatigue or subsequent side effects.

Thirteen years totally clean with no restrictions at all.

I do some pretty heavy duty exorcisms and I got stung last year. I felt it enter my chest as it felt like someone shoved a 2x4 through me. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t shake it. It was a tough lesson, but a learning experience I needed. It took a lot of prayer and meditation to understand that the Covid vaccine created a wound with its spiked proteins that have dogged me since July 2021. This vaccine wound created the opening in me that allowed it to enter me.

(Side note: In meditation and prayer, they explained to me that the effect of the vaccine was to block the connection in the soul that allowed it to balance and connect masculine and feminine consciousness. This is why it caused all the heart problems with dysregulation of the AV node that blocked electrical flow through the Bundle of His and Purkinje Fibers that transmit electrical impulse to the left ventricle where most of the pumping work is done for circulation in the body. This disconnect is what is causing people to remain in emotional irrational consciousness and not have access to their logical consciousness. (The soul connects to the physical body primarily in the heart, right side is connected to the masculine aspect(inflow), the left side is feminine(outflow). This is why the separation of two connected souls in a relationship causes a heartache.)(It’s also why the heart continues to beat for a few minutes after being totally removed from the physical body). This is why the vaccine opened people’s bodies to the Matthew 13 weeds to enter.) I know this sounds bizarre, but I can easily prove it by the physical changes in a person’s body that happens when I remove an attached weed from them.)

Bottom line, they did not close the stomas sufficiently from the surgeries and thirteen years later I had developed several hernias that pinched off my intestines. I managed to shove it back through and massage it with my finger, temporarily decreasing the severe pain. A pre hernia surgery abdominal CT scan surprised the Dr’s as it revealed a cancer mass larger than a golf ball in my left lung, exactly where the demonic spirit stung me. (It showed up on the periphery of the abdominal CT scan) Thanks to video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), they removed the metastasized cannonball colon cancer mass and half my left lung. They do the surgery through the back with small incisions between the ribs. The only side effect was a little nerve damage as they severed a nerve while cutting through the intercostal muscles to enter the lung cavity. Again, the oncology team said no chemo or radiation was required. I was out of the hospital in two days after surgery and was fine with no pain medicine. (I refused to return to my body after surgery when they disconnected the ventilator and removed the tubes. The surgeon said I became agitated and fought them. I refused to start breathing so they hooked me back to the ventilator and reinstalled the tubes. Five hours later I returned to my body and started breathing again. I thanked the surgeon afterward for the extra time in Heaven as I did not want to return.)

So here I am, still asking God to guide me to do His Will. He wanted me back here for some reason unknown to me. Ready to die and go home again at any time as it is wonderful beyond words in Heaven.

I share this as there is nothing to fear no matter the outcome. You win no matter what happens.
