“Unable to eat or drink anything, vomiting immediately upon intake” — this is the cruel reality faced by many patients with advanced esophageal cancer.
Mr. Zhang, a 65-year-old man from Kaifeng, Henan Province, was once trapped in such a desperate situation.
In October 2023, Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with esophageal adenocarcinoma at a local hospital due to dysphagia.
The sudden bad news plunged the whole family into deep sorrow.
What followed was a tough course of standard treatment: 16 cycles of chemotherapy and 33 sessions of radiotherapy.
However, the effect was unsatisfactory, and his condition continued to progress.
After enduring severe physical and mental suffering from treatment without any improvement, Mr. Zhang had no choice but to stop radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Afterwards, his family turned to traditional Chinese medicine and he took herbal medicine at a local hospital for half a year, yet with little effect. His condition worsened day by day.
When Mr. Zhang was brought to our hospital by his family, he was extremely emaciated, completely unable to swallow, vomiting large amounts of mucus, and in a very weak condition. The family’s mood hit rock bottom.
After carefully reviewing the patient’s entire medical history and conducting thorough syndrome differentiation, Director Zhang of our hospital concluded that the patient had suffered prolonged radiotherapy and chemotherapy, resulting in severe deficiency of healthy qi, combined with phlegm, blood stasis and toxic pathogens blocking the esophagus — a pattern of deficient root and excessive manifestation.
The top priority was to
unblock the esophagus and resolve masses, restore swallowing function, and allow the patient to eat and obtain energy for further treatment.
Director Zhang formulated a targeted treatment plan, focusing on our hospital’s special preparation Kaidao Gao (Unblocking Ointment), which acts directly on the lesion to unblock the esophagus, relieve choking, fight cancer and shrink tumors.
To everyone’s delight, a miracle occurred soon after starting the medication.
After only 3 days of treatment, the family excitedly reported that Mr. Zhang’s swallowing difficulty had improved, mucus vomiting decreased, and he was able to take liquid food slowly.
