Accept him first, leave the disease to your trusted doctor, and focus on life itself. Enjoy the touch that having an illness brings to us. What is this illness trying to tell you? What am I doing wrong? Is it wrong? Or not doing it right. Was my life the way I wanted it to be? Rethink the value of life, how to live with the disease, not to complain. Some patients may say, “When I got sick, I knew what to do and how to do it. I forced myself to quit smoking, stop staying up late, stop working hard, and so on. At the same time, forgive myself that I could only do that in the past because of work, family and financial reasons. When I was lying down for treatment, I thought about why I had lymphoma? What does it mean to have lymphoma? The body is always wiser than the brain. Having the disease tells us that something has gone wrong in the previous stage of our life, that it may not be suitable for us, that our body can’t take it anymore, that it is protesting, that it needs to be adjusted, that it forces you to rest, that it forces you to receive treatment. WHO believes that health is determined by four factors: genetics accounts for 15%; environmental factors account for 17%; medical resources account for 8%; and lifestyle accounts for 60%. In other words, 60% of one’s health is in one’s own hands and is under one’s control. It is good to be sick, and it is not too late to mend the fold. Let’s start by correcting our behavior. Change the changeable ones we can control: such as overeating, smoking and staying up late, irritability, perfectionism, overwork, mental tension, unhealthy lifestyle, etc.; accept the uncontrollable ones: such as genetics, environmental factors, etc. The best treatment for lymphoma is Chinese medicine with chemotherapy. Like fighting a war, you take the gun of chemotherapy and charge into the battlefield to ‘concentrate the firepower’ to kill the lymphoma that grows out; Chinese medicine is the aftercare, or the rear supply, the logistics department, without the protection of the rear, or a continuous supply, the front will soon hold on. Without the back-end protection, or continuous supply, the front will soon hold on, and one or the other is indispensable. At present, there are guidelines and expert consensus on chemotherapy protocols, so you can follow them; while Chinese medicine requires evidence-based treatment and individualized principles, and each person’s situation is different and requires personal consultation.
