This case presentation is based on the chart notes (with the patient's approval) as well as the observations and insights of her health care providers. Extensive lab reports are included with the patient’s permission.   The case focuses on an adult female who was diagnosed by her surgeons with terminal adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma, and given one day to live.   It chronicles the three years of her life after that prognosis was given, and details the nonprotocol treatments she used to rid her body of cancer.   Her death, three years later, was a peaceful one of natural causes as the result of old age.  CHELITA’S STORY Biographical history Health history Onset Surgery Diagnosis Prognosis Recovery process References To read it in its entirety, click here   CHELITA’S LAB REPORTS (shown with the patient’s permission.)   Acrobat Reader is needed to view these PDF’s.
