Chapter 55: On Cancer
Nasopharyngeal cancer is a serious disease, and it is not easy to stabilize the disease nowadays......
Some time ago, the release of a movie brought up a topic, there is only one disease in this world, the disease of poverty.
Don't over-understand this sentence, in general, the words are not rough.
There is indeed a difference between the results of serious diseases between the rich and the poor, and if you want to get a full set of treatments, it takes a lot of money to take targeted drugs with the latest scientific research results.
What about the poor? Not to mention expensive drugs, normal radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone will make some families with a little financial difficulties unbearable, and the cost of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month is really not a joke.
So.
The old man in front of him was able to stabilize his condition, on the one hand, it was linked to his own luck, and on the other hand, he had definitely received the best treatment plan, and the doctor he faced was also the most professional and top-notch.
For him, the current free clinic is a little suspicious of joining in the fun.
Since this happened, plus the words of a few old friends around me, I naturally came over.
"How old is the old brother?"
“67。 ”
"Where did you see a doctor?"
"Big Buddha, Guangcheng. ”
"How long has nasopharyngeal cancer been around?"
“2。 ”
"Two years?"
"Yes!"
It is very troublesome to communicate with the elderly, but Zhou Shouming is extremely patient, since people are willing to come over for consultation, they will be responsible for the end, and the basic information is asked clearly, so he stood up: "I'll give you the number and pulse." ”
In the case of lymph node metastasis, most patients will undergo residual removal surgery after radiotherapy to remove cancer cells, which is a surgical trick of 'cutting where it can't be done'.
The effect is intuitive, the problems of the primary organ of cancer are all solved, but the human body is a circulatory system, cancer cells may exist in other parts, and the tiny presence cannot be reflected in the examination data, including the human body after experiencing cancer, the human environment has a cancerous constitution, and new cancer cells will grow again, eventually leading to recurrence of the lesion.
Nasopharyngeal cancer has been stable for two years, which is a very rare case at this age.
Grandpa was also surprised by this, and the pulse process was obviously much longer than that of other patients.
The old man was looking forward to the answer, and the introduction on the display shelf next to him was also the reason why he came to the consultation, his own situation was clear, stability was only temporary, and he could get prognostic advice from different doctors, so that he could learn from his strengths and weaknesses.
There is an old saying that a long illness becomes a cure.
Patients with long-term severe illness sometimes know more about this aspect of the condition than ordinary doctors.
After about ten minutes, the grandfather's pulse diagnosis was over, and he investigated the old man's many lymph nodes, returned to his position and pondered for a while, before nodding slightly: "The physical condition is good, the conditioning is very good, if you can continue to maintain it, your life can be relatively stable." ”
Grandpa's answer was very straightforward, almost no nutrition, obviously a little sorry for the expectations of the people around him.
Including the old man, they all felt that Zhou Shouming was likely to have a tirade, but the final result was too pale, right?
The old man was a little anxious and tapped on the ipad, but before he could finish organizing the language, the old man behind him was the first to speak: "Doctor Zhou, what do you mean by this? Don't you have any suggestions for Lao Chen?"
Zhou Shouming smiled calmly: "He has maintained it very well, and the relevant doctors have obviously given the best advice, at least for Brother Chen, it has a good effect, he doesn't need to have other suggestions, too many suggestions will only interfere with the condition." ”
The old man's meaning is very clear, the advice does not have to be good, it must be more, and the most important thing is to be appropriate.
A group of old people were still not satisfied, and an old lady directly took the introduction on the display shelf and said something.
"Doctor Zhou, you can be written on it so much, why don't you say something? Otherwise, you will smash the signboard, we have waited so long, we also want you to help Lao Chen, Zhou's Chinese medicine clinic I also know, my neighbor often goes, but often praise you." ”
"Yes, and it's not uncommon to hear that Chinese medicine can cure cancer. ”
For the words of the previous person, grandpa didn't take it seriously, not giving advice is a rational consideration, and speaking indiscriminately is smashing the signboard, and he knows it in his heart.
But for the latter person's words, Zhou Shouming couldn't accept it.
"Who said Chinese medicine can cure cancer?!"
"Many people say that many Western medicine is not good, and patients should just find Chinese medicine. ”
That's it.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly......
There is a joke in the market that says that Chinese medicine tells you to go to a Western doctor, and you are really sick.
Western medicine tells you to go to Chinese medicine, you are really hopeless.
Of course, what Western medicine can't do doesn't mean that Chinese medicine can't do it, but in most cases, Chinese medicine is just a comfort treatment, and in an old saying, a dead horse is called a live horse doctor.
Zhou Shouming said helplessly: "Since I have said this, I will talk about it a few more words." ”
"Cancer, the ancient medical classics are seen in the Song Dynasty 'Wei Ji Baoshu', the sick child frame, there is the word Rong below, and Tongyan. Cancer patients have lumps in their body muscles, the surface is hard and concave, the shape is like a rock, and there is also the meaning of describing the severity of the disease like a mountain rock, and later Chinese medicine called malignant tumors cancer, but there has never been a record of cure. ”
"Indeed, in the ancient medical records, there are many descriptions of cancer, *** swollen, squeezing out thick juice, foul smell, another disease, cumbersome elsewhere, out of the side of the neck, and in the groin, abdomen; as for the cause, Chinese medicine can not be explored, can only be experientially scrutinized, until the development of modern medicine, this situation will be thoroughly studied, defined as lymph node metastasis. ”
"So, for cancer, we must first start from the understanding. If you think that cancer, surnamed cancer, is incurable, it is a terminal disease, and there is no way. However, if you want to think that cancer is surnamed Yu, surnamed blocked, surnamed depressed, and surnamed evil, then there are many ways, and you can prescribe the right medicine. ”
"You know what I mean?"
Grandpa's words directly blinded people.
If it weren't for the fact that the topic of cancer had been talked about at home, Zhou Zhou would have been able to think deeply about it now, but it is not difficult to understand it simply.
Zhou Zhou explained: "Aunts and uncles, let's put it this way. The understanding of cancer in Chinese medicine is not as profound as that of Western medicine. The definition of cancer is not clear, and there is no symptomatic treatment. However, at the same time as the onset of cancer, it will affect the other organs to have problems, where there is heat and dryness, we will find ways to warm up, where there is poison and evil, we will find ways to get rid of evil diseases, and regulate the balance of the human body from the problem of the immune system. ”
"There are cases where TCM is effective in treating cancer, but the definition of effectiveness is never cure, and some people may exaggerate the situation in the process of your hearsay. For another example, my grandfather once treated a lung cancer patient, distant metastasis involved in cervical lymphoma, and the prescription used was also a temporary decision. ”
"But then I encountered three patients with the same condition, the same lung cancer, the same prescription did not work, and even one patient showed a tendency to deteriorate, but stabilized after stopping the drug. ”
"This is also the reason why my grandfather is reluctant to give advice to the old gentleman, because it is not easy for him to maintain his current state, which proves that the current treatment plan is effective, and if other supplements are given for no reason at this time, or increase or decrease, it may cause adverse reactions. ”
"Do you understand?"
