At the age of 81, Mrs. Koesniyah received devastating news, she was diagnosed with advanced malignant cancer that had already spread to her lungs. Large inflamed lumps appeared on both sides of her neck, especially on the left. Once known as a cheerful, outspoken woman, she gradually became quiet and weak.
A biopsy confirmed that she was suffering from Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL). CT scans revealed multiloculated tumor masses filling both sides of her neck, while chest X-rays showed nodules in her right lung, indicating metastasis. Her physical condition had declined significantly. Weakness on the right side of her body forced her into a wheelchair, and there were even concerns that the cancer may have spread further.

Because of her advanced age, her oncologist did not recommend chemotherapy. Her family also decided against aggressive cancer treatment due to the potential risks and side effects. At that difficult moment, ECCT became the only remaining option they chose to pursue.
Mrs. Koesniyah began ECCT therapy using a specially designed blanket and helmet device that covered her entire body and head, tailored to her widespread cancer condition. In the beginning, she could only tolerate the treatment for 15 minutes twice a day. She experienced strong reactions including heat sensations around the tumors, bloating, coughing, dizziness, and severe aches in her left leg. Despite the discomfort, her family continued supporting her through the process.

Over time, changes slowly began to appear. The swollen lumps on her neck gradually shrank, and the inflammation reduced significantly. Although a new lump later appeared on the right side of her neck, likely influenced by fluctuations in her immune condition due to age, she continued the therapy consistently.
After nearly two years of ECCT usage, the neck tumors eventually disappeared completely.
In May 2026, Mrs. Koesniyah reached an important milestone: three years since being diagnosed with Stage 4 lymphoma cancer. Today, at 84 years old, her condition is relatively stable, healthy, and far better than what many had expected at the beginning of her journey.

At the age of 84, she survived Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with Lung Metastasis. Her story stands as a powerful reminder of hope, perseverance, and the unwavering support of family during one of life’s most challenging battles.
