For how to live longer after cancer surgery? How to choose the doctor and medicine for treatment? How to take care of health and wellness? How to apply nutritional products? How to take care of emotion? There are several hot and difficult clinical issues, which are also the most important issues for patients. In this regard, we would like to explain the main points as follows: These are complex issues. Many cancer patients will encounter the same problems. In recent years, I have given lectures on this subject to many doctors and scholars at home and abroad, and many such patients have sought medical advice, and a group of similar patients have benefited or been inspired by them. There is a lot of work to be done in the area of TCM-based rehabilitation of cancer or tumors. Some of these topics even go beyond the medical field itself and involve social ethics. 1. Is there any treatment value for patients with mid- to late-stage cancer? Mid- to late-stage cancer, theoretically speaking, is rapidly developing, spreading throughout the body, and is more severe. Given the pathological characteristics of predatory growth of cancer evidence, cancer cells will continue to grow even if the patient’s whole body is already in poor health. Cancer mainly spreads primary cancer cells to other parts of the body through infiltrative metastasis, blood metastasis, lymphatic metastasis, etc., so that secondary cancer is formed. Because of the insidious nature of early stage cancer, there are basically no symptoms, so usually cancer will reach the middle or late stage once it is detected, and the best treatment period and surgery period are often lost. Should we continue treatment at this time? Of course yes. The treatment at this time is to inhibit the rapid development of cancer cells at the primary site on one hand; to inhibit the speed of metastasis on the other hand; and to prevent complications (bleeding, swelling, necrosis, etc.); in addition, to enhance the patient’s physical strength and stamina to prevent the rapid emergence of malignant manifestations (the very poor physical condition of cancer). Therefore, it definitely has therapeutic value. 2.How to view chemotherapy in Western medicine? Western chemotherapy is one of the conventional treatment methods for cancer developed and applied in recent decades. It is useful for certain patients and certain cancers to inhibit the development of cancer cells for a certain period of time. In recent decades, countries around the world had given it great hope, hoping to establish a miracle in the prevention and treatment of tumors. The same is true for our country. Until now, it is also one of the most important methods for clinical treatment of cancer, and China even has an 80%-90% utilization rate for cancer patients, which is one of the countries with the most chemotherapy drugs in the world. Reviewing the clinical results and related experiences of western chemotherapy drugs for cancer applications in recent decades, now the medical profession, represented by European and American countries, etc., evaluates chemotherapy differently, although its original hope is greatly defeated, and there is even a return to rationality and rational discourse. According to the survey, a cancer patient in Europe and the United States spent an average of 100,000-200,000 euros, and the average cancer patient only extended his life by less than two months, and it was obtained under the premise of losing quality of life, i.e., enduring systemic multi-system failure, severe various toxic side effects, being bedridden and extremely low quality of life after chemotherapy. Therefore, the Western medical community is also making profound reflections. The average chemotherapy rate of cancer in Europe and America is only about 30-40% now, which is far lower than the rate of chemotherapy used for cancer in China. 3. Should we use chemotherapy after surgery? How to choose the dose and course of chemotherapy in western medicine? Whether to use chemotherapy after surgery or not is more difficult to answer now because of the aforementioned reasons. This is both a medical academic issue and a medical ethical issue, and even the latter is greater than the former. The general principle is that as long as cancer cells are found to have spread and metastasized, for the sake of insurance, some chemotherapy should be used; in addition, even if no spread and metastasis are found, some chemotherapy can be used for prevention. In fact, there are three misunderstandings here: firstly, chemotherapy cannot play any role even if the cancer metastasizes; secondly, it is extremely risky to use chemotherapy drugs for prevention, and the physiological function will be greatly damaged; thirdly, the already weak body will be even weaker and even weaker due to the application of chemotherapy drugs, and it will not be able to support the normal application of chemotherapy drugs throughout the whole process. Many patients are in a situation where chemotherapy is finished and life is finished. There are even patients whose lives are over before chemotherapy is finished. From both statistical and quality-of-life perspectives, chemotherapeutic agents have not shown significant advantages in terms of quality of survival and survival rate. On the contrary, after the application of chemotherapy drugs, patients suffer greatly and the quality of life is very low. In other words, chemotherapy kills a thousand enemies but loses most of itself, killing good and bad cells, normal and cancerous tissues together! But limited to medical ethics, social ethics, family background, etc., many people know that there is a tiger in the mountain, but still take the risk of chemotherapy, that is, we can not see a clear “may be effective” approach but do not use it, otherwise it is not good to the patient, to the family, to the social account. This goes beyond the medical issue itself. The clinical manifestations of chemotherapy in Western medicine, in Chinese medicine, mainly belong to the spleen and kidney Yang deficiency. 4.How to view radiotherapy in Western medicine? The indications of radiotherapy in Western medicine are relatively narrow, and it has some therapeutic effect on certain cancers, but it is also a damage to tissues and organs. After radiotherapy, the organism appears with dry heat symptoms, which belongs to Yin deficiency and fire in TCM. 5.Cancer to have to take Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine has the function of supporting the righteousness and evil, harmonizing yin and yang, tonifying qi and blood, draining menstruation and relieving pain. For cancer itself, its effects are as follows: ① Improve the body’s ability to resist disease and cancer. According to Chinese medicine, if the righteousness exists within, the evil cannot dry up. That is, a resistant organism is able to resist the occurrence and development of cancer; ② has certain tumor-suppressing and anti-cancer functions. For example, dozens of Chinese herbs such as mountain cichlid mushroom, half lotus, half lotus, and seven-leaved one flower have this effect; ③ alleviate various toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Where Chinese herbs are applied, toxic side effects are significantly reduced; ④ Provide the necessary physical conditions for surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After applying traditional Chinese medicine, the patient’s qi and blood are both nourished, the spleen and stomach function is strong and healthy, and the body is improved to support surgery or radiotherapy or chemotherapy; ⑤ to support the quality of life and survival time extension for patients who lose surgery or cannot undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Therefore, as soon as cancer is found, no matter whether there is surgery or not, no matter what stage it is in, no matter what situation it is in, no matter whether it is treated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy or not, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine in time and for a long time. 6.How to take Chinese medicine? According to a large number of literature reports, combined with my long-term clinical practice and experience in maintaining health care for cancer patients, alleviating or eliminating toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, providing physical support for surgery, improving life quality and prolonging survival, Chinese medicine is generally based on tonifying the spleen and stomach; for those who have been ill for a long time or have obvious toxic side effects of chemotherapy, spleen and kidneys should be tonified together, and both qi and blood should be given priority; at the same time, tumor suppression, anti-cancer and phlegm and blood stasis should be eliminated; for those who have cancer pain, Chinese medicine should also be used to dredge the channels and channels to relieve pain. For those with cancer pain, it is also used to dredge the meridians and relieve pain. Soup medicine is the mainstay. According to different parts of the body, different nature, different periods, different constitution and different types of cancer, some Chinese medicines, such as Xihuangwan, should be added. 7.Should I use acupuncture treatment? According to my long-term and extensive clinical experience in cancer rehabilitation treatment, the effect of acupuncture is similar to that of Chinese medicine. If acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be used together, the therapeutic effect will be complementary. Generally speaking, acupuncture points for tonification and points to counteract toxic reactions to radiation and chemotherapy are most commonly used. For example, acupoints below the umbilicus of the Ren Chakra, dorsal points, points of the spleen, stomach and kidney meridians, etc., are used mainly for tonification and symptomatic treatment. To eliminate the patient’s concern about whether the acupuncture itself will touch the tumor site, the cancer is usually not directly acupunctured locally, but rather the acupuncture points are taken distantly, allopathically, or by following the meridians. Of course, if the cancer patient is already in the stage of cancer pain and the pain relief effect is becoming less and less effective, the treatment such as local peri-pricking may also be possible. 8.How to make good use of diet or nutrition products? Dietary adjustment is necessary. According to the stomach of the patient, we can eat fresh and nutritious food with sufficient vitamin and protein. Do not overly fatty, sweet and salty food. Avoid spicy. Do not drink alcohol or smoke. As for nutrients, the patient can digest and absorb normally, have a mouth and stomach, and want to eat, then you can supplement some. Otherwise, do not supplement. Because without the above-mentioned basis, even if supplemental nutrients, can not be digested and absorbed, and even become a burden, aggravating gastrointestinal disease damage. Is it better to have more expensive nutrition or general nutrition? Actually, it is not too important. The best is the one that can be used by the body. If you have the conditions, you can use some advanced ones such as cordyceps, but you don’t need to use more. If you don’t have conditions, then a normal diet is the best if it is nutritious and absorbed and used. No need to force high nutritional quality, high price. 9.How to do emotional care and spiritual adjustment? Tumor patients, whether benign or malignant, should pay attention to happy mood and mental regulation. There is a saying that many cancer patients are scared to death. This coincides with clinical facts. There have been cases where healthy people were scared, depressed and sick and died because they took the wrong cancer patient’s laboratory test sheet. Therefore, it is important to take good care of patients’ emotions and make them feel happy. It has been proved that all those who have successfully fought against cancer or survived for a long period of time have a good state of mind and positive subjective motivation. As for whether to tell the patient the truth about the cancer condition or not? It depends on the patient’s ability to cope with the disease and the level of education. If the patient is in a good state of mind, optimistic, positive, well educated and will actively cooperate with the treatment, the patient can be informed so that he/she can better cooperate with various medical measures, which is beneficial to the treatment of the disease; on the contrary, the privacy protection system of major diseases in medicine can be adopted so that the patient will not be worried and frightened and the disease will be aggravated, or will not cooperate with medical treatment, or even have anorexic accidents, etc. Summary Once cancer occurs, it should be treated actively and correctly. In a sense, proper health care for cancer is more important. Whether cancer patients can complete medical treatment, whether they can undergo surgery, whether they can recover after surgery, whether they can prolong their survival if they cannot undergo surgery, whether they can relieve toxic reactions and improve their quality of life if they undergo radiotherapy, all depend on correct and scientific health care. Among them, Chinese medicine plays an irreplaceable role.
