Doctor’s terminology: Patients with early gastric cancer have no obvious conscious symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may develop symptoms such as upper abdominal fullness, discomfort or dull pain. Some patients may also experience acid reflux, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.
Early patients were discovered through electronic gastroscopy, and the cancer cells were in the mucosal layer.
If cancer is detected and treated early, it is possible to cure it.
After being diagnosed by experts from the Friendship Hospital of Beijing Medical University, Lao Tan was in the early stages of gastric cancer, which is the type that can be detected early.
The expert who treated Lao Tan was an old friend of the old Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing. After Wang Shulan received a call from Zhou Xiaomei, she went to see the old Chinese medicine doctor. The old Chinese medicine doctor recommended her old friend and told her to go here for examination first, and then send Lao Tan to the hospital.
Take a look at him.
Experts told Wang Shulan, Zhou Xiaomei and Yang Zhijun: "If the cancer is discovered early, actively cooperates with treatment, strengthens one's own immunity, and has a good attitude, the possibility of cure is very high. The main thing is not to put pressure on the patient and try to relax."
I think the patient's mood is quite good and he has the mental capacity to bear it, so your family members should stay optimistic and don't create pressure on the patient.
Also, the old Chinese medicine doctor called and said that after the diagnosis, he asked you to send the patient to him. He had seen the patient before and wanted to see it again. Sometimes Chinese medicine has a surprising effect on cancer."
The expert's words were tantamount to giving the three people great hope. They quickly thanked the expert and took Lao Tan to the old Chinese medicine doctor.
Lao Tan already knew about his medical condition. He was lying if he said he was not afraid, but he was really afraid, and he thought about death.
At this time, his heart and brain were gray, and his face was no different from that of a dead person. It was gray. He could hear people talking, but couldn't hear what they said. There was only one voice in his heart: Cancer, cancer, really cancer--
----
When Wang Shulan told him that the old Chinese doctor came to see him, he didn't react at all. He just followed him blankly, with a stiff expression, neither happy nor sad.
"Will I die?" This was his second voice besides "cancer". After the word death appeared, it began to circle in his head, like an evil spirit that could not be driven away.
The old Chinese doctor with gray hair and childish face was very calm and composed. He asked Old Tan to sit down but did not check his pulse immediately. He looked at Old Tan for a while and said: "Your complexion is not suitable for treating diseases. All diseases can be treated with 30% of the medicine and 70% of treatment."
There is no medicine that can cure the disease, only a relaxed mind and a healthy body.
Medicine does not cure the disease, so what is immortality? It means that the heart does not die, not that the disease does not die. No matter how good the medical skills are, it is difficult to use medicine when encountering a person who has a desperate heart. Even if it is right for the patient, it is useless, and sometimes it becomes poison.
It is common for people to get sick after eating grains, and you are not the only one. Relax your mind, an early stage of gastric cancer is nothing. People in the middle stage have a good attitude, actively cooperate with treatment, and live for two or thirty years. Are you afraid?
What?"
"It depends on how good they are, Lao Tan, don't think blindly, it's nothing." Wang Shulan forced a smile on her face and said to Lao Tan.
Lao Tan listened to what the old Chinese medicine doctor said, his face became slightly lively, he squeezed the corners of his mouth and said, "I understand, it's just a bit -----"
"It's a bit hard to accept, right?" The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled, and then said: "There's nothing you can't accept. It's just a tumor. If it can expand, we can eliminate it. If it can't be eliminated, what can we do? How big is the stomach?
It’s nothing, just think of losing weight.
Come, let me take your pulse. The last time I felt your pulse, I felt that there was something abnormal in your stomach. But I didn’t have any symptoms at that time, so I wasn’t sure. Then you didn’t come. It would be fine if you came, and this wouldn’t happen.”
Although the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor are reproachful, they are reassuring to listen to.
Lao Tan remembered that Wang Shulan asked him to come for a follow-up consultation at the beginning of the year, and he made various excuses not to come. At this time, he couldn't help but regret. This regret changed his mood. For the time being, he no longer thought about cancer or death.
The old Chinese medicine doctor checked Lao Tan's pulse for five minutes, during which time he looked at Lao Tan's tongue, and asked about the symptoms of pain and diet. He asked the questions very carefully, and Lao Tan answered truthfully.
After taking the pulse, ask Lao Tan to lie on his back on the bed, lift up his shirt to expose his stomach, and press a few places on his chest and stomach. While pressing, he asked Lao Tan if it hurts, etc.
After the examination, the old Chinese medicine doctor said: "Listen to me, you have early-stage gastric cancer. The cancer cells have just formed. The best treatment is chemotherapy and radiotherapy."
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can kill cancer cells, but not all of them can be killed. They can still survive. Moreover, chemotherapy and radiotherapy have side effects on the body. I don’t need to tell you that you know this.
I will treat you with traditional Chinese medicine for a month first, divided into two courses. In the first half of the month, you take the medicine for 12 days and stop the medicine for three days. In the second half of the month, you take the medicine for 13 days and stop the medicine for two days, and then go to the hospital for examination.
The cancer cells should be reduced in a month. At that time, I will look at the test results and decide whether to undergo chemotherapy or continue conditioning."
"Do I still need chemotherapy?" Lao Tan asked.
"Well, it's better not to change it or not, it depends on how you cooperate. You think every day that you have cancer, and you won't be able to live for a few days. Chemotherapy doesn't work. If you don't treat it well, it will get worse quickly.
If you don't think about anything, just pretend it doesn't happen. You should eat and drink when you should, play when you should have fun, go out for a walk and relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe you will be fine without taking medicine.
Now that the medical level is so advanced, how many people still die from gastric cancer? Unless it’s in the late stage.”
After the old Chinese medicine doctor said this, Lao Tan's heart became much brighter, half of the clouds dispersed, and his face became more lively. Not only him, but also Wang Shulan, Zhou Xiaomei, and Yang Zhijun also breathed a sigh of relief and had smiles on their faces.
.
After leaving the old Chinese medicine doctor, the four of them went to the nearby Liulin restaurant for dinner. During the meal, Old Tan asked Zhou Xiaomei and Yang Zhijun to go back to Hohhot first and stay for treatment. At the same time, he asked them not to tell them about his cancer.
Don't tell anyone else, he wants to recuperate in peace and contentment.
"Aren't you going to tell my third sister-in-law?" Yang Zhijun asked.
"Well, I'll tell her then." Lao Tan said.
Lao Tan had no intention of telling Lin Yan, not wanting to make her get angry in a hurry, or not in a hurry at all. He was afraid that his son would know.
"Yanhua didn't tell you either?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.
"I won't tell." Lao Tan said.
"Well, I understand." Zhou Xiaomei nodded, and then said: "Uncle, from now on you can rest in peace and recuperate, don't think about anything else, don't worry about anything else, I'm here with you."
"I can't even think about it now." Lao Tan said, with a wry smile on his face.
"Brother San, don't have any psychological burden. Keep your heart open. Didn't the old doctor say anything? It's nothing." Yang Zhijun consoled him.
"Don't worry, Third Brother is very open-minded. But I couldn't bear it at first, so I made blind calculations, thinking that I can't live for two days, and the child is still so young. What if I leave?"
I didn't see him in the hospital. I was standing with force. If I had been softer at that time, I would have sat on the ground. I used to say that I didn't know what was going on. Today, I have a deep understanding. It is said that cancer will not die.
It’s fake, but most of them are scary to death.”
"It's not like you just scare yourself. You see what the old Chinese medicine doctor said, as long as you have a good attitude, you can't defeat cancer." Wang Shulan said.
Her words made everyone laugh, and they felt so relaxed for the first time in a day.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaomei and Yang Zhijun returned to Hohhot. Before leaving, Zhou Xiaomei took Wang Shulan's hand and said, "Sister Wang, I will leave my uncle to you. You can take good care of me and come back when I finish handling the company's affairs."
.”
"Don't worry, it's okay. I promise to take good care of you." Wang Shulan said.
"My third brother has asked Sister Wang to thank you for your kindness. When will I go to Hohhot, brother, I will make sure everything is in place." Yang Zhijun bowed his hand to Wang Shulan with great affection and righteousness, and Lao Tan was very moved.
What is a brother? This is a brother.
"Uncle, please rest assured and recover. I'll come see you in two days." Zhou Xiaomei walked up to Lao Tan and said with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control herself.
Lao Tan patted her shoulder and said, "Well, uncle, everything is fine. Come back. There are a lot of things waiting for you at home."
Yang Zhijun came over and wanted to shake hands with Lao Tan, but after thinking about it he refused. He smiled and said, "I'm leaving, Brother San. Let's have a drink when we go back during the Chinese New Year and wait for you."
"good!"
Yang Zhijun and Zhou Xiaomei drove away.
Standing there watching the two of them go away, there were two lines of tears on Lao Tan's face------
