Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The report you have attached was taken eight months back (attachment removed to protect patient identity). So, now there might be more growth and spread of the ependymoma. Ideally, surgery and radiotherapy can be preferred. If more pain is there, the oncologist will give morphine (strictly under supervision), which can control the pain. Turmeric tablet is good to continue, two tablets morning, two in the afternoon, and two in the night.

In addition, I can suggest a few Siddha medications to you as follows. Vallaarai tablet two in the morning, two in the afternoon, and two in the night. It is the Centella asiatica herb. Capsule Rasaganthi mezhugu (Parada, Gandhaka, Rasa Karpoora) one morning, one afternoon, and one night after food. Drink a cup of buttermilk (curd with water) while consuming the capsule. Serankottai nei (medicated ghee) one spoon (quarter teaspoon), mix in hot milk, and drink. This is to be done morning and night after food.

Tablet Rumowin (Bala, Nirgundi, Siddeswara) two tablets in the morning and two the night after food. Capsule Siddhaadhi ennai one capsule before bed with a half cup of warm water. The above Siddha drugs are to kill cancer cells, prevent their spread, and increase immunity. Continue all these medications for the next three months. Within 15 days of therapy, you will find the improvement.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
