Wu Fang (pseudonym), 65, is an authentic farmer who has worked for most of her life, and thriftiness has become her inherent label. Since three years ago, she has had a frequent cough, accompanied by an unexplained low-grade fever, which lasted for more than a year, and finally reluctantly went to the town's health center under the tough attitude of her son.
Due to the backward medical conditions in the town, Wu Fang only took a few days of drip there, and after treatment, her symptoms could not be alleviated, so she went to the central hospital for examination.
At the moment when she learned that the test result was cancer, Wu Fang's brain was blank, and she seemed to stop thinking, only to see that the CT report showed "peripheral lung cancer of the upper lobe of the left lung", and the pathology suggested "low-differentiation adenocarcinoma".
Wu Fang knows the horror of chemotherapy, because one of her sisters who is 5 years older than her died of breast cancer, she deeply remembers that her sister had severe nausea after chemotherapy, vomited when she ate, and had to directly terminate this treatment plan in the later stage, and gradually her sister also lost weight into "skin and bone", and always cried out in pain every day.
Immediately, Wu Fang ignored the objections of her son and daughter-in-law and refused surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
However, cancer cells will not stop growing because of human subjective factors, it will only desperately plunder the nutrition and energy in the human body, and rapidly develop and expand their "power".
Soon, Wu Fang's situation has progressed, less than 1 month, Wu Fang again appeared fever without obvious causes, body temperature fluctuations at 38 ° C, cough and cough sputum, sputum yellow and sticky, movement is chest tightness and shortness of breath, after the symptoms gradually worsened, medical examination of lung CT examination suggests "left upper lobe periphery lung cancer with multiple metastasis of both lungs and mediastinal lymph node metastasis, with a large amount of pleural effusion on the left side", chest B ultrasound suggests "a large amount of fluid in the left pleural cavity", and cardiac ultrasound suggests "mitral valve, aortic valve degeneration".
Wu Fang has been pumping pleural fluid nearly 10 times in 3 months, and multiple pleural fluid B superpositioning, of which "the left pleural cavity can be probed up to 113mm liquid dark area, at least 78mm liquid dark area", a total of about 7200mL of yellow liquid was extracted, coughing after each withdrawal, followed by "cisplatin + paclitaxel" chemotherapy 2 times, but the pleural fluid is still growing, and the patient is intolerant, the nail root is black and yellow, nausea and vomiting, and low-grade fever does not recede.
At this time, Wu Fang's condition has reached an advanced stage, the pain is not wanting to die, refusing to continue hospitalization, the hospital has also given up treatment, but Wu Fang has a strong desire to survive at this time, holding the last glimmer of hope, hoping to seek the help of Chinese medicine, alleviate the pain, and extend the life as much as possible.
Symptoms at the time of visit: the patient is bedridden, painful and moaning, dark face, emaciated, repeated low-grade fever, cough and sputum, sputum xanthin gum is difficult to giggle, sputum with blood, chest tightness and shortness of breath, left chest and back pain, no retrosternal compression pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, vomit is stomach contents, gastric absorption is very poor, restless night sleep, with night sweats, constipation knots, yellow urine, red tongue moss yellow. Western medical diagnosis: left periopulmonary peristal lung cancer with multiple metastases of both lungs, metastasis of the mediastinal lymph nodes, pleural effusion.
Combined with Wu Fang's detailed condition information, the dialectic is that the righteous qi is deficient, the sputum is hot and the lungs are hot, and the suspension is stopped. Peiben anti-cancer treatment is given.
Prescription: American ginseng, fried white art, fried yam, poria sativa, scorched astragalus, tangerine peel, wood incense, suzi, white mustard seed, vermicelli, mangosite (post-lower), hot aster, hot winter flower, Zhejiang shellfish, houttuynia, hot ephedra, jiao shenqu, cor malt, scorched hawthorn, hot chicken inner gold, ze diarrhea, psyllium, melon peel, pig lily, wu yao, betel nut. Order the above drugs to try 7 doses, 1 dose a day, decoction, and 1 hour after breakfast and dinner. If the drinking of medicine is not smooth, you can take a small amount of 1 dose a day. (Note: Do not grab the medicine yourself, the condition is different, the dosage and the basic formula also vary from illness to illness, from person to person.) ）
In fact, this formula seems to use a lot of drugs, but the whole formula is mainly to revitalize the body's healthy qi, adjust the internal environment, and supplemented by anti-cancer, so the drugs are mostly mild.
At the time of the second diagnosis on July 5, 2020, Wu Fang could move on the ground after taking the drug, chest tightness and shortness of breath improved, the pain in the left chest and back was not relieved than before, there was still low-grade fever from time to time, cough decreased, but there was still a short cough at night, the sputum turned white, but it was still difficult to cough out, with night sweats, nausea and vomiting disappeared, the appetite was not good, the stool was still constipated, and the tongue was red and yellow. Therefore, the above party is adjusted based on the basis of the party, and continue to take 20 doses continuously.
At the third diagnosis on July 26, according to Wu Fang's son, Wu Fang's mental improvement was obvious after taking the drug, her face was slightly bright, and her strength increased, the symptoms of low-grade fever had not appeared for 3 days, and the short cough at night had improved significantly, but there was still pain in the left chest and back, appetite and sleep had improved, and the bowel movements had returned to normal. Moreover, the pleural B ultrasound on July 25 suggested that "a small amount of encapsulated fluid in the left pleural cavity can be detected, and there is no fluid accumulation in the right pleural cavity".
Seeing that the medicine had taken effect, Wu Fang and her family's mood improved and their confidence increased greatly. So the effect is not more method, still based on the treatment of Peiben anti-cancer therapy, the former side is adjusted on the basis of the party, continue to take, so far, Wu Fang still survives with tumors, with diseases for a long time, and cancer has become very small on her emotions, because she can live independently, she can also participate in some agricultural work, and her usual spirit is also more pleasant.
The fight against cancer is a long war, and the author of "The King of Diseases: A Biography of Cancer" has described it vividly: "In order to catch up with the pace of this disease, human beings have created again and again, learned new knowledge, and abandoned old strategies. We persist in our fight against cancer, sometimes shrewd, sometimes desperate, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes violent, sometimes crazy, sometimes awe-inspiring. This war is inevitable and has been going on for millennia. ”
In the development of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, it has also been continuously innovated with the in-depth understanding of cancer. Today, the war against cancer continues, and no one wants to give up. Hopefully, more and more patients will have the opportunity to overcome through traditional Chinese medicine and surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted, immunotherapy and other means.
