KARMA PAST OR PRESENT

      I have talked about the Karma many a times  and there are times when I see situations where I can not explain the things that I see on the basis of law of Karma.I do see husband and wife as patients  and they have lung issues and I am not sure if they got together due to Karma done in past life or they are creating new Karma in this life and that has the effects that I see as diseases. Certainly genetics can not play arole as they rae not genetically related to one another. This is not the first time but I have seen thu=is over and again . That brings me to the story for today .

   I  had seen this patient many a tomes and I also wrote about it in my previous blog. He was a smoker and had abnormal CT scan of chest .I did bronchoscopies and biopsies and they did not show cancer though I was convinced that he has cancer. To make the long story short, we did finally did surgery and then he was diagnosed to have cancer in the lung  and that started in SALIVERY GLAND !! I have never seen this before  and he did not have any cancer in salivary gland that we can detect. So as a fact he had salivary gland cancer that spread to lungs  and so essentially he was inoperable  and the chance of cure was not much .But he was treated with chemo and radiation therapy. He completed the treatments  and he has been off that for more than a year. He is doing good and he has no evidence of cancer. 

   Then his wife started seeing me . She was a smoker and she had some shortness of breath and also had some heart issues. She needed a cardiac process  and she needed pulmonary situation to be cleared . So I did see her and then did the work up ,She had breathing test and then chest X- ray and then CT SCAN of the chest . The CT scan did show a nodule about 1.2 cm  and so I did the work up . She had PET scan and the bronchoscopy. The PET scan did show some uptake but it was not very high . Due to her history of smoking I wanted open biopsy. The low uptake indicates slow growing cancer if it was a cancer. She saw a surgeon and he did do the surgery and it was a cancer . All the lymph nodes and margins were good and the chance of recurrence was thought to be very low. She did see oncologist - cancer specialist and she was not started on any treatment . But it was decided to do follow up CT scan to keep an eye on it .She had a new ct scan in 4 months after the surgery . SHE HAS SPREAD OF CANCER TO LIVER.!

  So her husband who had metastatic cancer  that too of very rare type seems to be cured  and the wife who had very small nodule and that too metabolically not very high growth, .He is cancer free and she has spread in 3-4 months  after so called surgery that was thought to be curative. Not sure I can explain this .
