Among our clinical oncologists, there is a saying that is worthy of consideration by tumor patients: 1/3 of tumor patients are actually “scared to death” by themselves, 1/3 are “treated to death” due to over-treatment by themselves, their families or doctors, and the patient’s organism cannot tolerate the toxic side effects of treatment. “Only the last 1/3 die of disease due to the natural evolution of the disease. In today’s world of cancer, malignant tumors bring not only physical torture but also heavy psychological burden to people. Many patients cannot endure the pain and have various bad emotions, and finally lose their confidence and courage to live. Some of those who died from tumor, instead of dying from disease, should be scared to death by tumor! According to a paper in the American Journal of Cancer, in 26 independent studies on 9417 cancer patients, the mortality rate of cancer patients with signs of depression was 25% higher than that of those with good mental status, and the mortality rate of cancer patients with confirmed depression was 39% higher than that of those with good mental status. In fact, no matter what kind of disease one has, the most frightening thing is not the disease itself, but the patient’s fear and depression of the disease that makes them lose the courage to live completely. It should be clearly understood that once suffering from tumor, anxiety, sadness and depression will not help but only aggravate the disease. With the establishment of bio-psycho-social medical model, psychological factors have become an important force. Negative psychological factors can contribute to the development of cancer, while positive psychological factors can prevent cancer, prolong the survival of cancer patients, and even cure cancer. In most people’s mind, the only way to feel relieved and recover as soon as possible after getting cancer is to have surgery to remove the tumor completely, or to kill the cancer cells completely with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. However, clinical practice over the years has proved that overly aggressive clinical treatment with constant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, always trying to control cancer completely in the first place, has not turned out to be the case. Excessive treatment beyond the patient’s physical endurance has not only failed to save the patient’s life, but also accelerated the patient’s death while causing him/her great pain. There are too many such lessons! For example, there are clinical patients with liver cancer who recurred after surgery and sought help from TCM treatment while receiving TACE treatment. The patient’s body lesion may be very stable and only the AFP is still a little bit high, but in a blind pursuit of complete tumor eradication, he repeatedly did it in a short period of time, and the result was that the AFP not only went up instead of down, but also his body condition was not as good as before. The doctor advised him, but he still held on: “Let’s do it one last time, and after that, he will eat Chinese medicine with one heart. As a result, this last time, he died directly from liver failure caused by the intervention and could not even leave the hospital. Therefore, in the process of fighting with tumor, it is necessary to be rational and calm, and the gambler’s mentality of gambling for the last time will definitely bring bad results. In clinical practice, it is also found that for advanced cancer, in addition to symptomatic treatment, overly aggressive anti-cancer treatment will instead increase patients’ pain. Recently, Harvard Medical School published a paper that active surveillance of 65-year-old patients with low-risk prostate cancer resulted in a better quality of life compared to immediate initiation of treatment.
