Great Chinese Doctor

Chapter 158 Massive Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The person who answered the video was a young boy. His face was dull, his body was thin, his lips were pale and chapped, his eyes were bulging and his appetite was dull. It was obvious at first glance that he looked sick, and there was no need to use facial features to diagnose his illness.

"Hello, friend. Is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Qing also glanced at the gloomy look between his brows and asked.

September 30th He pulled his lips and forced a smile, "Hello, Doctor Qin. I was introduced to you by a friend. He said that you are very good at medicine and can cure most difficult and complicated diseases. I wonder if you can cure my disease?"

He spoke casually, with no hope or light in his eyes, only indifferent acceptance. It was obvious that he had no expectations for his body, and he did not believe that Qin Qingye's medical skills were good enough to cure his cancer.

He can do live streaming, maybe just to avoid worrying his friends, and he’s just going through the motions here!

Not to mention, Qin Qing’s guess was almost right, and "September 30th" really thought so.

Qin Qing did not answer him, but asked him to get closer to the camera, checked his face and tongue coating, and directly determined his condition after observation, "If I am not wrong, your disease should be liver cancer, and it is massive liver cancer."

"Liver cancer is classified into many types, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, massive liver cancer, mixed liver cancer, intrahepatic ductal carcinoma, and secondary liver cancer..."

"Your liver cancer is one of the massive liver cancers. In traditional Chinese medicine, massive liver cancer is usually not classified as "massive" alone, but can be classified into categories such as "accumulation", "symptoms", and "jaundice" based on its symptoms and signs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of liver cancer is related to factors such as liver qi stagnation, blood stasis, damp heat accumulation, and deficiency of the body and excess of evil."

"Now that we've come to this point, let me explain why cancer stays alive! This disease is caused by the combination of blood stasis, phlegm, and poison under the condition of overall or partial deficiency."

"The fundamental principles of TCM in treating cancer are to remove blood stasis, resolve phlegm, clear toxins, and disperse nodules, especially to regulate the overall and local damage of the body itself. Depending on the different locations, properties, and individual differences of the tumor, the selection of prescriptions and medications for treatment has different emphases..."

"For example, in the case of Shuiyou, who suffers from a dangerous liver cancer, the contradiction between the deficiency of righteousness and the excess of evil is extremely prominent. When weighing the two, the former is particularly important."

Qin Qing also paused, and continued: "To treat massive liver cancer, Chinese medicine will adopt a comprehensive treatment method, which is to strengthen the body and eliminate evil and detoxify. I will prescribe a prescription based on your specific situation. This prescription will be personalized according to your constitution and condition."

A trace of doubt flashed in September 30th's eyes, and he asked softly: "Doctor Qin, what's the point of saying so much? I have cancer, and it's in the middle and late stages. There's no hope of saving me."

Qin Qing also smiled mysteriously and replied, "That's not necessarily true. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I have no reason to give up."

She changed the subject and said, "TCM treatment focuses on harmonizing the yin and yang balance of the human body, improving one's immunity, and removing toxins from the body. Although massive liver cancer is difficult to treat, it is still possible to improve symptoms and improve the quality of life through reasonable treatment."

Afterwards, Qin Qing also began to ask about September 30's living habits, dietary preferences, medical history, etc. in detail, so as to better diagnose and treat the patient. After understanding the patient's condition, Qin Qing also prescribed a preliminary prescription.

“Strengthen the spleen and soften the liver: Astragalus, stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala, Codonopsis pilosula, Lycium barbarum, raw white peony root, Chinese angelica, and raw licorice.”

"Soften and dissipate lumps, clear silt and drain water: roasted turtle shell, seaweed, kelp, raw oyster, red peony root, caltrop, umbellate, poria... "

"Detoxification and anti-cancer: Scutellaria barbata, Scutellaria baicalensis, Agrimony vine, Job's tears, dried toad skin..."

"And explained: first follow this prescription for three courses of treatment. If you feel pain in the liver area after taking it, you can add Chuanlianzi, Yanhusuo, Myrrh, and Aconiti Radix; if you feel nausea and vomiting, add Inula odora, Hematite, processed Pinellia, and Tangerine Peel; if you feel bloating in the abdomen, add Dahurian peel, and add Linderae Root."

Qin Qing also reminded: "If the tumor still grows after three months, you can take Chinese medicine such as roasted Astragalus, Codonopsis, stir-fried Atractylodes, Lycium barbarum, processed Polygonum multiflorum, processed Polygonatum sibiricum, Rehmannia glutinosa, Herba Agrimoniae, and roasted Beast Shell. Remember to take the medicine after you go back, otherwise you will have severe pain in your stomach and vomit blood in a few days, and you will definitely die from gastric perforation and gastric bleeding."

September 30th nodded and said seriously: "I have written down the prescriptions. I will definitely take the medicine on time. But, is it enough to just take the medicine for my illness?"

Qin Qing also: "Of course not, eating is just one of them."

Barrage:

[No, brother, you are dreaming. Who can cure cancer by just taking medicine? ]

[It should be relief, right? Although I believe in Dr. Qin's medical skills, it is cancer after all. How can life fight cancer? People without the halo of the protagonist are cannon fodder and don't even deserve miracles. ]

[If the patient does have massive liver cancer, trust her. I have read this prescription and it can indeed alleviate the condition, at least it will not allow the cancer cells to spread.]

Sure enough, the next second Qin Qing also explained, "This prescription can only prevent the spread of cancer cells. It won't happen that when I was almost done with the treatment, the front yard caught fire and people died in a daze."

"After taking the medicine, the next step is to take a medicinal bath and do acupuncture."

September 30th frowned slightly. He seemed unfamiliar with treatments such as medicinal baths and acupuncture, but he did not show any rejection.

Qin Qing also continued to explain: "The medicinal bath is to use the steam and soup of the boiled medicine to penetrate into the body through the skin pores, which has the effect of relaxing the meridians, activating the collaterals, removing wind and dampness, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Acupuncture and moxibustion adjust the balance of qi and blood in the human body and enhance the body's self-repair ability by stimulating specific acupoints. When the time comes, combined with Taiyi acupuncture, the dirt hidden in the body will be discharged from the pores."

"This is the process of medicinal bath combined with acupuncture. When you finish drinking these medicines, come to me and I will give you acupuncture."

When a person who is determined to die is suddenly told that he doesn't have to die, the feeling is complicated, including ecstasy and disbelief.

The frown on "September 30th" relaxed slightly, and an imperceptible light began to flicker in his eyes, which was the desire for life and the expectation for the future.

"Really? Doctor Qin, is what you said true? Can I still be saved?"

He had always been indifferent before, because he knew he had cancer and could not be cured. But now someone said he didn't have to die, and it was like a shock that pulled him back from the brink of despair.

He even asked again in disbelief, fearing that he had heard it wrong.

"What you need to do now is to calm down, eat and drink as you should. Of course, don't forget what I told you before about not eating. You need to control your emotions and not let them fluctuate too much. Drink the medicine with the decoction for at most a month, and then come to me and I'll give you acupuncture."
