Madam Wong Choy Sim is a 46-year-old woman from Pahang, Malaysia. Like many people her age, she had been managing high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and had kept to a vegetarian diet for years. Life was ordinary, until one day she noticed a dull, persistent ache on her right side. She brushed it off at first, assuming it would go away on its own. But it did not.
In November 2024, a kidney scan revealed a large mass growing at the lower part of her right kidney, over 10cm wide and highly irregular in shape. The doctors were concerned. A more detailed CT scan in January 2025 painted a clearer and more worrying picture: the mass was pressing against her liver, had dead tissue forming inside it, and was rated as highly complex. On top of that, kidney stones were found in both kidneys, and a fibroid measuring close to 5cm was discovered in her uterus. Further scans of her chest in March 2025 flagged two small spots of 1.3cm on her right lung and a slightly enlarged lymph node in her chest.
On 25 March 2025, Madam Wong went through surgery to have her entire right kidney removed. When the tissue was examined, the diagnosis was confirmed: renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe type, at stage pT2a. The good news was that the cancer was still contained within the kidney, it had not spread to surrounding tissue, blood vessels, or lymph nodes. As far as the surgical team could tell, the cancer had been fully removed. But the spot in her right lung and fibroid still present.
Two months later, in May 2025, she stumbled onto ECCT via FB and decided to start ECCT given the non-invasive nature. Right away, Madam Wong noticed how easy the vest was to use. She could wear it while going about her day at home, sitting, resting, moving around. Better still, she did not have to stop wearing it when she went to work. She simply put it on before leaving the house and carried on with her day as normal. There were injection, no surgery, no toxicity, no side effects at all. No discomfort, no inconvenience, nothing to complain about. She described it as very comfortable, and that ease of use meant she never skipped a session. She was consistent from the very beginning.
Over the next twelve months, her blood test results told a steady story of improvement. Her haemoglobin, which had been low at 11.5 g/dL when she was first diagnosed, a sign of anaemia, climbed all the way to 13.8 g/dL by April 2026, now sitting comfortably within the normal range. Her inflammation markers, which had shot up sharply right after surgery, came down quickly and stayed down. Her ESR went from 81 mm/hr post-surgery to just 4 mm/hr a year later. Her CRP followed the same downward path. Her remaining left kidney, now working alone, held up well, her kidney function score (eGFR) stayed consistently above 70 throughout. And when a full cancer marker panel was done in April 2026, checking Ca 19-9, CEA, Ca 125, Ca 15.3, AFP, and LDH, every single result came back normal.
The most telling results came from a full body CT scan done on 24 April 2026. The two small lung spots that had been flagged a year earlier had completely disappeared, without any surgery or conventional medical treatment. The area where her right kidney used to be showed no sign of cancer returning. No abnormal lymph nodes. No spread to any other organ. No fluid build-up. Nothing suspicious anywhere. Her oncologist reviewed the scans and gave her the all-clear: no recurrence, no spread.
There was one more thing worth mentioning. The uterine fibroid that had measured close to 5 cm when she started ECCT, something Madam Wong had been keeping an eye on herself, had shrunk to just 1.9cm by April 2026. It had more than halved in size over twelve months, without any surgery or hospital treatment.
When asked how she felt about everything, Madam Wong did not hesitate. She is very happy. She is back at work, eating well, and getting on with life. But she also said something that stayed with the people who heard it. If she could go back in time, she might have chosen to try ECCT first, to see what it could do, before deciding on surgery. She was not saying the surgery was a mistake. She was simply reflecting, honestly, on how much she had seen this therapy do, and wondering what might have been possible if she had found it sooner.
Today, she still wears the vest every day. At home. On the way to work. No side effects. No hassle. Just a woman who faced something serious, came through it, and found a way to keep going and fight to stay healthy and meaningfully.
