Primary Liver Cancer Intervention + Gamma Knife, Seeking Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Patient: My father is 56 years old, in the middle of July this year, because of the occasional feeling of fatigue, rapid weight loss, so physical examination found liver occupation, and high blood sugar; later diagnosed as primary liver cancer with portal vein cancer thrombosis by CT and enhanced CT; 1) July 23rd – July 28th, chemotherapy, oxaliplatin + Fluorouracil + Calcium Folinic Acid + Compound Bitter Ginseng. After learning that chemotherapy is not sensitive to hepatocellular carcinoma, he stopped chemotherapy and went to Shanghai for intervention. (2) August 8-August 13, TACE; after discharge from the hospital, the patient felt abdominal discomfort, which was relieved after one week; however, her mental state and physical strength were obviously not as good as before the operation; (3) August 20-September 10, Gamma Knife Center, stereotactic and precise radiotherapy for the liver, portal vein thrombus, and retroperitoneal lymph node lesions. During this period, the patient felt nausea and vomiting, which improved significantly after liver protection, acid suppression and nutritional treatment; 4) At present, the patient is recuperating at home, although there is no obvious discomfort, her physical strength is much poorer, and her spirit is not very much uplifted. I hope to seek help from Chinese medicine, so that the patient’s physical strength and mental state can be restored. The patient does not have hepatitis, liver function is normal (September 7 test). I know that Dr. Zhou is good at combining Chinese and Western medicine, so I hope I can get some guidance and advice from you. Thank you very much!
