George procurou tratamento quando a rouquid\u00e3o, a tosse e a pieira o impediram de falar com os clientes no seu trabalho como vendedor de pneus e servi\u00e7os mec\u00e2nicos. Por insist\u00eancia da sua mulher Diane, foi ao Cuidados urgentes de Southcoast<\/a> em Wareham e rapidamente se viu numa ambul\u00e2ncia a caminho de Hospital Memorial de Charlton<\/a>. L\u00e1, foi-lhe diagnosticado cancro do pulm\u00e3o<\/a> t\u00e3o avan\u00e7ada que a cirurgia n\u00e3o era uma op\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alguns anos antes, era um diagn\u00f3stico que poderia ter deixado George com apenas um ano de vida. Mas Dra. S\u00f3nia Seng<\/a>, MD, um Oncologista M\u00e9dico com o Centro de Cancro de Southcoast<\/a>A Dra. M., que \u00e9 a m\u00e9dica do hospital, fez uma s\u00e9rie de testes moleculares que revelaram uma muta\u00e7\u00e3o celular nos seus tumores que era suscet\u00edvel a um medicamento de imunoterapia que, na altura, era relativamente novo. A m\u00e9dica recomendou seis semanas de quimioterapia para matar as c\u00e9lulas cancer\u00edgenas, seguidas de infus\u00f5es de imunoterapia para treinar o organismo a identificar e combater o cancro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eu disse: 'Estou dentro, vou dar uma volta'\", recorda George. \"Confiei nela.\"<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gra\u00e7as \u00e0 tecnologia de ponta imunoterapia<\/a>, que foi desenvolvido ao longo de anos de ensaios cl\u00ednicos internacionais com a participa\u00e7\u00e3o de m\u00e9dicos e doentes da Southcoast Health, muitos dos seus tumores diminu\u00edram e at\u00e9 desapareceram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u00c9 realmente um tratamento milagroso\", disse o Dr. Seng, que prescreveu a terapia. \"Ele est\u00e1 a prosperar com o tratamento e tem uma excelente qualidade de vida. O cancro dele \u00e9 agora mais como uma condi\u00e7\u00e3o cr\u00f3nica para gerir\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde o in\u00edcio do tratamento, os tumores no f\u00edgado, nos g\u00e2nglios linf\u00e1ticos e na coluna vertebral desapareceram e o tumor no pulm\u00e3o est\u00e1 significativamente mais pequeno. Ele atribui o apoio de Diane, uma t\u00e9cnica m\u00e9dica da Centro de Emerg\u00eancia do Charlton Memorial<\/a>e os seus netos, Aiden Perry, 16 anos, e Gabriella Perry, 14 anos. Tamb\u00e9m elogia a Dra. Seng e a Southcoast Health pelos cuidados que continuam a prestar. De tr\u00eas em tr\u00eas semanas, continua a receber imunoterapia no Centro de Cancro de Southcoast<\/a> em Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u00c9 o ponto alto da minha semana\", disse ele, referindo que toda a gente \u00e9 simp\u00e1tica e que tem uma afinidade com a enfermeira que lhe administra as infus\u00f5es, Lisa Mancini, RN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dra. Seng disse que a atitude positiva de George contribui certamente para a sua capacidade de cura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aos 72 anos, est\u00e1 reformado do emprego que pensava vir a ter \"at\u00e9 ao dia em que ca\u00edsse\" e ainda depende da mulher para o levar onde precisa de ir, mas sente-se feliz com o que pode fazer. O antigo artista comercial e arquiteto passa o tempo a desenhar, a observar os p\u00e1ssaros nos seus comedouros, a brincar com os seus dois c\u00e3es e a acarinhar os netos que ele e a mulher est\u00e3o a criar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"O cancro n\u00e3o derrotou o meu esp\u00edrito\", disse ele. \"Adoro a vida, adoro viver e adoro as pessoas.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
