Lesion on liver - Followup

[Alan-S-Mamen]

  Did not mean to imply my treatment was being run haphazardly. It is being orchestrated by a very good oncologist, but I always take ultimate control. Neither he nor the specialists he has conferred with have been able to identify the problem, so I needed a liver specialist to join the group.
  On 8/28 I had another C.T. Scan. Remember, the lesion was first noticed on 6/26, appeared in a Sonogram, and again in an MRI. This time the lesion has "reduced significantly".
  At the beginning of April I started 800 mg daily of Vitamin E at the request of my cardiologist. I stopped the Vitamin E the middle of July to see if the lesion would be effected. Can you confirm my theory ????

dear Alan,
I am not certain that I know your theory.  I assume taht you are suggesting that the vitamin E was the cause of your tumor.  Unfortunately, one can not confirm or refute a hypothesis based on a single case finding because of the possibility of coincidence.  We would need to show that people taking vitamon E have ahigher than expected incodence of tumors before we can develop the hypothesis.
