Envita Patient Reiterates How Precision Oncology Can be a Gamechanger on the 'Confidence Through Health' Podcast
She went from being perfectly healthy, with not even a minor fever in 20 years, to a shocking diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer, but Tammy was determined to not give up. “I just didn't know that such a thing existed,” said Tammy Morrow, referring to Envita Medical Centers' innovative approach of precision integrative oncology, which combines the latest in conventional medicine with advanced natural therapies.
Sarah is finally able to live her life after going through years of misery with symptoms like seizures, mind-fog, and inability to walk, which were repeatedly being misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, connective tissue disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety, and depression. “What a lot of people don't understand is that the conventional medicine testing of Lyme has a lot of false negatives,” said Sarah. She explained how conventional testing is based on the response of the immune system, which in turn may be compromised in some patients leading to false negatives.
Tammy gravitated towards our unique approach because she did not want to meet the same fate as her brother who had passed due to an aggressive prostate cancer, just two days before her diagnosis. “He had the best medical care that traditional medicine could offer, and he died,” said Tammy, explaining to Jerry Snider on his podcast, about how the lack of precision targeted options may lead to extreme side effects, even causing death in certain cases.
In Tammy's case, the cancer had already spread to her liver, lungs, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, and she had started experiencing side effects with her first session of standard maximum therapeutic dose untargeted chemotherapy. To overcome the risk of extreme side effects associated with the treatment of this life-threatening disease, Tammy chose to pursue care at Envita. She benefited extremely with our advanced treatment approach, which includes detailed genomic analysis and other specialty tests, for precision targeted care.
At Envita, our specially trained physicians, custom develop a unique treatment protocol for each individual patient to target not just their disease but also strengthen their immune system for sustained outcomes.
