Hi everyone,
I hope this message finds you all well. I'm reaching out regarding my husband's situation, hoping to gather some insights from this supportive community.
My husband is currently battling stage 4 rectal cancer with metastases to his lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. He was initially diagnosed with Stage 3 rectal cancer (with one lymph node involvement), but unfortunately, his condition progressed despite undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
We've been exploring treatment options and have received proposals from both Fuda Cancer Hospital and Modern Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou, China.
Both facilities have recommended similar interventional approaches:
Local chemotherapy
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
Cryoablation
However, when seeking a second opinion from an oncologist in Singapore, we were advised that these interventional treatments may not be appropriate for his stage 4 cancer.
I'm wondering if anyone here has personal experience with either of these hospitals in Guangzhou or knows someone who has received treatment there, particularly for advanced colorectal cancer.
Thank you in advance for any guidance or experiences you can share.
