Witnesses describe laser-based cancer treatment in fraud trial of former clinic owner
About a year after paying $10,000 in 2008 and undergoing what she believed to be a life-saving treatment for her breast cancer, the tumor broke through Cynthia Babecka’s skin.
Bob Babecka, her husband, recalled Friday the conversation he had with Antonella Carpenter when they contacted her about the new development in Cynthia’s health.
Carpenter, who has no formal medical training, had treated Cynthia’s cancerous tumor with a homemade laser at her office in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Carpenter assured the Babeckas that the tumor’s movement was what she expected.
Carpenter told them his wife’s body was pushing the now-dead tumor out, Bob Babecka recalled while testifying before a jury in Tulsa federal court. Carpenter’s explanation contrasted with that of an oncologist, who had told Cynthia earlier that the tumor, despite the laser treatment, was not dead, Bob Babecka testified.
