My name is Sylvia Lomota Flanagan. I am licensed therapist, herbalist, and yoga instructor. In May 2004, because I had not been feeling well and my blood pressure was extremely high (240/160), I went to the emergency room at Sharp Memorial Hospital. There they performed numerous diagnostic tests including a CAT scan of my head and chest. The chest scan revealed a mediastinal mass of approximately 9cm. They gave me a diagnosis of Thymoma and recommended a needle biopsy. The biopsy indicated that the mass was encapsulated and contained cancer cells. Not having a fear of the disease and relying in my knowledge of the human body and the immune system and cell structure I began treatment with natural therapies. I treated myself like a devoted patient.I was born and educated in Romania and the United States. I had studied and read about anti-tumor protein shots and wanted to explore that treatment. In January, 2005, a chiropractor specializing in energy work, referred me to Dr. Tony Jimenez. At my first appointment with Dr. Jimenez he reviewed all of my medical records including the results of the CAT scan and follow-up biopsy. Naturally, I had many questions and after listening to Dr. Jimenez I had complete confidence in his recommended treatment regimen. I started on the anti-tumor protein shots as well as Poly MVA. After awhile I started oxygen/ozone therapy and he recommended I use it on a daily basis for a few months. I'm feeling better than ever! I look healthier and I feel stronger with much more energy. I have increased stamina for exercising, hiking, gymnastics, and yoga as well as my demanding work schedule.
I am confident that by the way I feel the tumor has shrunk and the cancer cells eradicated, this is supported by the results of a recent CAT scan.
Dr. Tony Jimenez is a knowledgeable, trustworthy, loving, caring physician. He has my highest respect and I truly feel he is one of the most devoted doctors in the world in the field of oncology at this time .
Thymomas are the most common primary thymic tumor. They are slow-growing lesions and usually behave in a benign fashion. A subgroup of these tumors have an aggressive nature and are called invasive thymomas. Invasive thymomas typically invade locally and spread along pleural and pericardial surfaces, but they can exhibit extrathoracic metastasis. A thymoma can appear at any age, but most patients are over the age of 40. Radiographically, thymomas are typically round or oval, well-marginated masses that may contain some peripheral calcification.
