First acquaintance with the patient has been chemotherapy three times, because of strong gastrointestinal discomfort on the clinic, want to find a treatment for gastrointestinal discomfort treatment, I look and smell after the thin, yellow face, cracked tongue, greasy moss, pulse sinking. According to clinical experience to consider the possibility of intestinal cancer, I said that the patient’s situation is not very good, consider the possibility of a bad situation, it is recommended to do colonoscopy before treatment, the patient’s family to see me young, did not ask more questions, to see the disease, but also truthfully answer the question of the disease has been in chemotherapy, through the communication of the patient and the family also have confidence in me, agreed to take traditional Chinese medicine between two periods of chemotherapy to solve the discomfort brought about by the chemotherapy symptoms. The first time the effect is very good, the patient and I also have confidence, with the understanding of the patient and the Chinese medicine on the control of the disease, I suggest that the patient to extend the time of taking traditional Chinese medicine, but this is an elderly patient, he thought of chemotherapy still have greater hope, so did not listen to my advice, until the sixth chemotherapy, the patient’s body is not able to withstand, bedridden. Later, I heard from the family that the doctors in the oncology hospital also said that chemotherapy did not make much sense to fulfill the old man’s wish, and I wrote this article not to publicize how good Chinese medicine is, but to tell the younger ones that: 1) at the end of life, we should look down on our life, 2) the doctor’s advice can be listened to, and the physical state of the body is not suitable for chemotherapy, do not let yourself suffer so much. 3) a good doctor can be a good doctor in the late stage of life, but not to let himself suffer so much. 3, a good doctor in the late stage of the use of Chinese and Western medicine can be appropriate to extend life, less pain. There are many treatment methods, not just one western chemotherapy to solve all the problems.
