In November 2006, A US medicine company Biosphere Medical Inc received the FDA approval for Hepasphere, the clinical use of microsphere embolization in chemotherapy.

The technology has been widely used in the United States and Europe, and has achieved satisfactory results.

In microsphere embolization doxorubicin, irinotecan and other chemotherapeutic agents are turned into superabsorbent biocompatible gel particles. With the help of DSA imaging X-ray machine and a super micro catheter, the chemo particles are injected into the tumors where abundant blood vessels exist. The particles remain at the small arteries, blocking the tumor blood vessels and reducing nutrition supply while continuously treating the tumor. 

Studies have shown that this chemotherapy technique is more effective because the drugs in the blood vessels are actively working for more than two weeks.

The clinical practices in Europe and the United States have been very promising. At present, this technique is used for various types of cancer where tumors are rich in blood vessels, like cancer of the liver, head, neck, kidney, gastrointestinal cancer massive lung cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, retroperitoneal tumor, soft tissue sarcoma, and etc.

In 2014, China’s FDA approved the clinical use of this advanced chemotherapy technique. Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital, a national key specialty cancer hospital, has completed nearly 500 cases of microspheres intervention for patients. The technique is also combined with cryo-ablation, irreversible electroporation (Nano knife) and other advanced cancer treatments.

Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital is offering a 40% discount to Filipino cancer patients until April 30, 2016. Interested parties can  call  0917 775 34 26, 507 34 26 (landline) or email consultationphils@fudahospital.com or visit their business office at  Rm. 407, The Linden Suites, 37 San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig.

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last

how my life changed in august 2023

august 2023 was a turning point. it was the month that everything fell apart, and yet somehow, it’s the month that set me on a path toward something unexpected—something that feels like freedom. when my husband left, it was like a storm hit my life. the pain was real, raw, and I cried for a month straight. there were days I felt like I couldn’t breathe, let alone move forward. but in the quiet of my grief, I found the strength to rebuild. I prayed, whispered my hopes into the stillness, and something amazing happened: I found a job at an amazing company. it’s everything I’d wanted—a night shift, so I can still be there for my daughter during the day. it pays well, gives me the balance I need, and feels like the universe heard my prayers. I got a new car—something that feels like a symbol of the new life I’m carving. every morning, I drive my daughter to school, and every afternoon, I’m there to pick her up. I cherish these moments with her, watching her grow and knowing I’m present for...
