Stage 4 Breast Cancer Treatment - Lori's Envita Review
After being hospitalized due to the extreme side effects caused by standard treatments for metastatic breast cancer, Lori decided to choose life and living over mere existence. “I don't want to spend the rest of the time I have, however long that might be, being sick,” said Lori Kelch, who traveled from Ohio to Envita Medical Centers, a Center of Excellence for Precision Integrative Oncology, located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Impacted by a One-Size-Fits-All Approach
“When I got out of the hospital, I didn't think this standard chemo drug was for me,” said Lori, whose breast cancer was discovered after it had already spread to her lymph nodes, gut, and spine. She was recommended to have oral chemotherapy, but unfortunately, due to the lack of precise targeting of the unique set of causes responsible for triggering her cancer, Lori experienced severe side effects, such as an inability to eat, fatigue, and dehydration.
Turnaround with Precision Integrative Oncology
“Once she started therapy [at Envita], I immediately started to see a change… and that just made me feel great,” said Steve, her husband, who has been her caregiver during this recovery journey. Envita's innovative approach is designed not only to target the core causes of the disease in each individual patient but also to reactivate the immune system to help them sustain lasting outcomes. This multi-pronged and personalized approach to treating cancer resonated with Lori, who benefited from some of our proprietary treatments, such as GTFC™ (Genetically Targeted Fractionated Chemotherapy) and CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injections).
Proprietary Treatments and Immunotherapies
GTFC™ is our proprietary, low-dose chemotherapy that is delivered intravenously, while CIPI™ is our minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure aimed at deactivating inoperable tumors. With the metronomic dosage of chemotherapy utilized in GTFC™, Lori was able to tolerate it smoothly, as it had the desired impact on the cancerous cells without affecting her healthy cells or the immune system as a whole. She also experienced significant improvements with CIPI™, as the personalized chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents successfully deactivated certain tumors that were growing aggressively.
“It's not that Envita is doing any kind of alternative treatment that doctors would not necessarily approve of. They are using the highest tech that they can find for both the integrative and the conventional, and combining those two,” said Lori, impressed by our advanced approach. She was not only convinced by the science behind our innovative precision oncology approach but also found that the radical loving care she received here reaffirmed her decision to seek treatment.
Thorough Attention and Comprehensive Care
“Everybody who was supposed to do their homework on me did it, and that was extremely comforting for me,” said Lori, who knew she was in the right place from the first contact with the Envita team. She and her husband loved the Envita ecosystem due to its warm and caring atmosphere, camaraderie among patients and staff, and approachable doctors who are always ready to address patients' concerns and questions.
Her Envita Connection
Lori remembers coming across Envita when she was searching for integrative oncology options for a friend; however, she was not reminded of it until another friend shared an article about the successful recovery of one of our former patients. When she read about how a stage 4 breast cancer patient like her was thriving after receiving care at Envita, she felt motivated to seek care here. “I would really encourage people to check this out thoroughly,” reiterated Lori as she wishes for optimistic outcomes in every patient, just like herself.
