Ms. Yang, a 67-year-old female patient with ovarian cancer from Langfang City, Hebei Province, was treated at Jiaozuo Zhonghai TCM Cancer Hospital. A year ago, Ms. Yang accidentally felt a distinct mass in her lower abdomen accompanied by persistent abdominal pain. At first, she did not pay much attention to it, thinking it was just ordinary gastrointestinal discomfort. However, as time went by, the abdominal pain worsened and obvious lower abdominal sagging developed. Urged by her family, Ms. Yang went to a local hospital for an examination and was eventually diagnosed with ovarian serous carcinoma. The result came as a great shock and worry to Ms. Yang and her family.
After the diagnosis, Ms. Yang received surgical treatment at a local hospital to remove the tumor. However, she stated that the tumor had ruptured before the surgery, which undoubtedly increased the complexity of her condition. After the operation, doctors recommended radiotherapy and chemotherapy to consolidate the therapeutic effect, but Ms. Yang refused further treatment due to her physical weakness. To regulate her body, she turned to TCM for help and took 40 doses of Chinese herbal medicine in Beijing. Unfortunately, the effect was not satisfactory and her symptoms showed no obvious improvement, which left her anxious and confused for a time.
Just when Ms. Yang was at a loss, she accidentally saw relevant information about Jiaozuo Zhonghai TCM Cancer Hospital online. The hospital’s unique experience and successful cases in TCM treatment of tumors rekindled her hope. With a mindset of giving it a try, she decided to seek medical treatment at the hospital.
At the time of consultation, Ms. Yang described her symptoms to Director Zhang in detail: extremely poor appetite with a small food intake, general fatigue, obvious abdominal sagging, lumbar distension and a slightly fast heart rate. Although her bowel and bladder functions and sleep were relatively normal, these discomforts had seriously affected her quality of life. After a thorough understanding of the patient’s condition, Director Zhang formulated a treatment plan: an empirical TCM formula for ovarian cancer, modified according to her symptoms, combined with oral administration of Hua’ai Xiaoliu Powder. Director Zhang suggested taking the medicine for 10 days first to observe the therapeutic effect.
To great delight, after 10 days of medication, Ms. Yang’s symptoms improved significantly: her appetite increased with a larger food intake, fatigue was alleviated, and the symptoms of abdominal sagging and lumbar distension were also relieved. She felt her overall condition had improved and her mental state was much better than before. This change filled Ms. Yang and her family with confidence in the subsequent treatment.
Director Zhang stated that TCM treatment of tumors focuses on holistic regulation and individualized medication, and Ms. Yang’s positive response has laid a solid foundation for the next step of treatment. The hospital will continue to adjust the plan according to the changes in her condition and strive for a better therapeutic effect. Ms. Yang also sighed with emotion: "I never expected TCM to have such a good effect. I wish I had come here directly!"
