As a practicing physician at a tertiary cancer hospital in Henan, I had long heard that Professor Wang Guimian, a famous oncologist at Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing and chief oncologist at Andingmen Hospital of Chinese Medicine, was a leader in the field. Her miraculous skills and prescriptions had helped countless patients with breast cancer, uterine cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, intestinal cancer, kidney cancer, etc. regain their lives. I had imagined the scene of asking Professor Wang for advice countless times, but I never thought that it was because my mother had breast cancer that all the major local hospitals, including my hospital, were helpless, so I had to ask Professor Wang for help... My mother is 73 years old this year. In 1999, she developed a tumor the size of an egg yolk on her left breast. At that time, it was considered malignant. I am a doctor and have also worked on tumors. I helped my mother perform surgery with the director of the hospital's oncology department, and the axillary lymph nodes were also cleared. The lymph node pathology examination did not find metastasis, so she did not receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In 2007, my father passed away, and my mother was mentally devastated! As a result, the tumor recurred locally and metastasized to multiple locations, including the chest wall, armpits, and supraclavicular fossa... We performed surgical removal of all the areas that could be operated on after the recurrence. In order to control the disease, she underwent more than a month of radiotherapy after the operation. Unexpectedly, 2 months after the operation, my mother suddenly felt difficulty breathing and could not lie flat. I rushed my mother to the hospital. After examination, it was found that there was bloody pleural effusion in the left chest cavity, and cancer cells were found in the pleural effusion. The pleural effusion was drained six or seven times, each time between 1000-2000 ml. After the drainage, some white blood cell-raising drugs, albumin, and interleukin II were used as auxiliary. In less than 4 months, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy were used, but the disease was still not controlled! Metastatic lesions still appeared in the chest cavity and lungs, and she had difficulty breathing, could not lie flat, and was in severe pain. In the following days, my mother's condition worsened day by day. In November 2007, she had more difficulty breathing and more severe pain. Examination revealed that in addition to pleural effusion, there was also effusion in the liver, hilum of the lungs, and pericardium. "It seems that your mother will not be able to celebrate the New Year." "The old lady is old, and it is inevitable that she will pass away in the end..." I was very sad to hear this, and asked with tears in my eyes: "We have been colleagues and friends for decades. Can you think of a way to let my mother spend the New Year with me?" The director of the oncology department shook his head helplessly! He said that at the current local treatment level, there is nothing we can do. If we want to save her, we have to go to Beijing and find Professor Wang Guimian! I felt like I was awakened. How could someone I have always admired ignore her at the most critical moment of her life? I deeply blamed myself for letting my mother suffer so much in vain. I was so anxious that I rushed to Beijing to find Professor Wang Guimian the next day. After carefully analyzing the condition, Professor Wang Guimian communicated with me kindly: "As an oncologist, I believe you also understand that patients with advanced breast cancer who have undergone multiple rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are already extremely weak. Conventional treatment methods are not curing the disease but killing it! In order to improve the situation, we must transform the treatment ideas from eliminating tumors to inhibiting tumor growth and improving the body's own immunity. First of all, Chinese medicine regulates the elderly's body functions as a whole. The elderly's body is already extremely weak. Even if it is Chinese medicine conditioning, the dosage of the medicine must be adjusted as appropriate, and it must be guaranteed to be non-toxic. General therapies cannot be used casually. It is best to use "non-toxic anti-cancer green therapy". This therapy has strict drug quality supervision, diagnosis and medication process, dosage control specifications, medication guidance, rehabilitation supervision and other systems. From drugs and medication safety to treatment control and rehabilitation guidance, there are strict standards to perfectly guarantee the efficacy. It's just that during the treatment process, you have to take the trouble to take care of the elderly, take medicine on time, and at the same time enhance her confidence in treatment, and don't let her mental collapse first." Every word of Professor Wang touched my heart. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly. Why didn't I consider my mother's physical tolerance, and blindly asked my colleagues to give her such a large dose of treatment at my own request? I never thought that I was trying to save her, but in the end I was harming her! If it were a fellow patient, I would evaluate the condition objectively and choose a suitable treatment plan. But when it came to me, I was just panicking and misleading and forcing my colleagues to follow my own treatment plan. This is really wrong! Looking at Professor Wang Guimian, who is simple and calm, tactful and firm, gentle and professional, I feel deeply ashamed and even impressed by her. With the prescription and medicine prescribed by Professor Wang, I followed her instructions and immediately gave my mother the medicine. There were no side effects. Professor Wang called every day to ask about her condition, guide medication adjustment and nursing matters. I was deeply moved by his attentiveness and patience. After about one course of treatment, my mother felt relaxed, breathing smooth, eating better, and sleeping better, which made me feel very hopeful. After three courses of medication, she walked without panting, spoke louder, and had better sleep quality. The most important thing is that the urine volume increased. I checked the color and properties of the urine, and they were all normal. I speculated that the reason for the increase in urine volume is that the pleural effusion, abdominal cavity and even pericardial effusion are gradually discharged through urine... Her improvement is the real pleural effusion gradually disappearing, and the metastatic things (tumor lesions) in the pericardium and liver are gradually shrinking. I hugged my mother and cried with joy, and I deeply realized the wonders of Chinese medicine. Today, my mother is no longer like the terminally ill patient she once was. She has a loud voice, a rosy face, and is kind and gentle. This makes me very excited when I mention Chinese medicine and Professor Wang Guimian, because Chinese medicine has really and truly worked on my mother. Professor Wang Guimian's profound medical skills and noble medical ethics have made me reflect more than once that as a medical worker, I still have a lot to learn and improve! I am willing to follow Professor Wang's example, constantly improve myself, and better serve my fellow patients! |
