URGENT Request - Cryotherapy for Glottis tumour

I have a localised glottis tumour, which although not spread is expected to
grow and kill me in 6 weeks. I've been given option of radiotherapy but
side effects and chances are not good. I have read about cryotherapy
(cryoablation) as far less evasive treatment with minimal side effects
compared to radiotherapy. Has anyone had this for a throat cancer? Please
let me know and where you had this treatment please?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head and Neck Cancers group.

Hi @ericj, I am one of the moderators on CancerConnect. I had messaged the head and neck cancer group last week to see if anyone could share experience with cryotherapy for glottis tumors but so far no one has responded. Are you seeing a specialist?

Hi Eric, I too am dealing with a form of cancer considered incurable and terminal. Thomas E. Levy, MD, a cardiologist, left his practice to do extensive research on megadoses of vitamin C. In his book "Primal Panacea" pp. 75-82 he addresses vitamin C and cancer and cites three cases of Stage 4 cancer that intravenous vitamin C therapy cured (renal cell, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and colon all of which had spread to other parts of the body). On p. 79 he discusss the exact mechanism vitamin C uses to kill cancer cells; I'll be happy to share that info with you if you want.
There are a number of alternative care MD's willing to administer intravenous vitamin C therapy altho doubt insurance will cover. When used with radiation/chemo it lessens side effects while also killing cancer cells. However, In the three cases Levy cites, it took a number of months (15-19 months) of vitamin C intravenous therapy to cure the cancer. In the first case, they used 30 grams of vitamin C twice a week; in the second the book doesn't say; in the third they used 100 g of intravenous vitamin C twice a week.

I was under an ENT surgeon consultant, but he is not responding to any of<br />
my questions/requests, the hospital have written me off basically. My GP<br />
however, is more hopeful, so if I can find an ENT surgeon in the UK<br />
preferably, who carries out cryotherapy (cryoablation) treatment, he will<br />
refer me, but time is running out. I am new to this website so have few<br />
contacts any help you can give me to find someone who knows of a contact Dr<br />
or hospital would be very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks you<br />

Thanks for sharing your experience @elaineinfairfax. Thought this information on the NCI website might be helpful to anyone wanting to know more about high dose vitamin C-- they discuss some of the studies that have been done also: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/highdosevitaminc/patient/page2

Eric, don't know what your attitude is about prayer as an "alternative therapy," but here's the testimony of a guy cured from throat cancer that should have killed him:

Church planter, Walter Barrientos spoke at Church of Holy Spirit on October 13, 2013, sharing a testimony of God's amazing healing power in his life. Walter is coming here to Leesburg to plant a Spanish speaking mission at CHS this summer!
"It is a pleasure to be here, and as always it is a privilege for me to give a testimony of what God has done in my life. I am a former Catholic priest and helped Roman Catholics plant churches. Then I met Jesus and did that work (church planting) here. Later, I was called back to my own country and planted churches there.
Everything was so perfect. Suddenly, one day, I was no longer able to speak. They first thought that I had some kind of allergy. Later, they came to the conclusion that there was a tumor growing on my vocal cords, and that it must be cancer. I followed six months of chemo, but every time I visited the physicians it seemed that I was worse and worse.
I was invited to come to the United States for another opinion and I visited the best hospitals in your country. The doctors warned me it would be necessary to remove everything. So, I lost my voice forever and was reconciled to the need of starting over like a child, learning some words by using my diaphragm. I was sure that I would no longer be able to preach. At that point, with my wife Sandra and her great faith, we decided that enough was enough! We had dutifully completed seven months of therapy with many physicians and had seen no positive results.
We returned to Bolivia deciding not to continue with any kind of medical treatment - we would leave the healing entirely to God and would just pray and pray. Four months later, when we visited physicians in Argentina, we were told that the cancer had spread and metastasized in four additional places. They gave me three to six months to live and told that there was nothing else they could do. I was advised to go home and live the rest of my life with my family. At that point I had three children - Sergio, 7 years old; Mariana, 5; and, Ella, 3.
During the first month of my illness, I had many questions. The greatest question was, "Why? Why me? I used my voice to worship you... to talk about You...Why?" The first miracle occurred after seven or eight months of my illness. My question had changed from "Why?" to "What for?" God showed me that He was my Lord. I suddenly realized that throughout my entire life He had been calling me but my response had been, "Wait! I want to be with my wife and my children. Wait because I want to do more for you." God answered, "I was the one to plant those churches, it was not you, Walter. So, I don't need you." When I finally realized that, I felt such a peace.
The physicians told me that I was getting worse and worse. Sandra insisted that God would heal me here and now. I let her deal with her faith; mine was to be ready to be with the Lord. July 2009, close to the time frame doctors had given me to die, I requested three things from the Lord: (1) First, to have a church wedding. As a Roman Catholic it had been impossible for me to get married in the church. In Bolivia, we separate what is done in the courts from what is done in the church. After seven years of marriage, I wanted the ceremony to be in the church. People came from all over the world for my wedding! (2) Second, I wanted to go to the Holy Land but, truthfully, I wanted to die in the Holy Land, in Israel. I wanted to die in the place where Jesus' life had brought me eternal life. (3) And my last desire was to be in a better physical condition to say goodbye to my children so that they would remember me in a better way. I was physically destroyed at that time - I couldn't walk, I couldn't stay on my own.
Everybody thought it was crazy for Sandra to help me take a long trip from Bolivia to Israel. We arrived in Israel and experienced the second miracle! I had the strength to walk and visit all the sacred places. On October 1, 2009, we arrived late in Nazareth at the Church of the Annunciation. By then, it was 7:30p and we were told that the church was closed but they would allow people to pray. We explained our situation and they made an exception for us. It was very difficult for me to go downstairs to that small place where the angel talked to Mary, telling her that everything is possible for God. Without apparent reason, I began crying and knelt down to pray.
Suddenly, strong heat started in my back, radiating downward, burning. I began screaming, asking for help. But Sandra received a vision and a word "healing". She stood up and placed her hand on my back and said, "Stay there,God is healing you." I continued to yell for the next ten minutes because of the immense pain. Suddenly, there was silence, a quiet. God, because He loves us, was so merciful. During the previous month, I had been completely dependent on morphine for the pain. But, that night I was able to stand, to move and to sleep without morphine. Sandra was confident that something very miraculous had happened.
The next day, again, no morphine was needed and the following day, no morphine. When we were in the plane flying home, Sandra was convinced that I didn't really believe God had healed me. Remember my third wish? Be in a better physical condition to say goodbye to my children. She told me that I needed to think about what I would say to the church body because she felt that I had some doubts. When we arrived home on November 27, my 40th birthday, at 1:30 a.m. I actually threw that tumor away (through my mouth) because I knew that I had been totally and fully healed!
Let me end with this. During my year and a half of cancer, my mother had died of a heart attack at 57 years old but my father still lives. He is a Roman Catholic and a very conservative person. All my life, my father would say, "We are worshipping God with our bodies." Bishop Lyons requested that I go to my physician for confirmation of my healing. Even with the evidence of God's power in my life, I was afraid to go to the doctors for fear they might say, "There is still some problem... or whatever."
We did as we had been told. It was incredible to see my physician in tears, with this word that would change my life and I hope will change yours too. In fact, I want to live in order to tell everybody that one sentence that I received from my physician: "You have a God!" My answer to Him is, "God, I am no better than anyone else; I am a sinner; and, I know that you have given me another opportunity. I don't want to spend my life fighting, discussing, or doing things that I will repent. I want to use the rest of my life to tell everyone and to show with my life that you are the mighty God. You are the same today as You were yesterday and will be forever." Brothers and sisters, we have the same God. He will be doing the same miracles in your life too! (compiled by Carole Prosser)
