Things are getting more and more difficult

Yesterday, I met the doctor for my wife's pneumonia. He said that he  had no idea what the kind of pneumonia was. X-ray result did not get better nor worse. Medicine he gave to my wife simply did not work. This means I have no cure for her pneumonia.

At first, doctors at the hospital could not find what the cause of the disease was. Biopsy and other painful tests showed that it was not tuberculosis nor cancer transmitted from the brain cancer. But they simply did not know what it was.

The final conjecture they made was pneumonia from the use of anti-cancer medicine, Temodar. And they prescribed drugs based on the assumption. Now, they are not even sure about that.

My wife coughs all night long, barely sleeps and is exhausted during the day.

When I had her get the brain surgery and subsequent radioactive and chemotherapy, I thought all I had to fight was brain cancer. Now I realize I was wrong.

Western medicine feels like modern warfare. You pour shells and missiles to an area where you believe terrorists are. The problem is, in the course of killing terrorists, you also kill innocent civilians. You don't even get to kill all the target. Terrorists learn how to evade attack. Moreover, civilians who survived the strike now become your enemy. They join the terrorists and strike back against you. I think this is what's happening inside my wife's body. Her cells bombarded by anti-cancer drug are revoling against the body, causing pains.

I have a bad feeling that I am doing a losing battle. I should find better way to fight her disease. Flaxseed oil is what caught my attention last night. I read many articles on the Internet. Some people say it is a quack, some say it works. I don't know what to make of all the conflicting views.

I should do something.....
