Most of the patients are now sick at the beginning, or in a short period of time in modern medical treatment, they came to seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine. Today, I saw a piece of data published on the Internet. People with tumors in China have about 40％, but have not been exposed to Chinese medicine from beginning to end. Seeing this data, I can''t believe it. I think, if you have a tumor, you need to carry out comprehensive treatment, combining Chinese and Western medicine. This is common sense. But it is true that some patients are still too late to understand the comprehensive treatment of tumors, or there are various misunderstandings in the treatment of tumors by traditional Chinese medicine, which prevents him from receiving timely and correct treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Next, analyze the common misunderstandings of patients receiving TCM treatment.

　　Misunderstanding 1: only When radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgery are of no avail, choose Chinese medicine:

　　 This is often the case: cancer patients are already dying, and family members ask the doctor what else is there? The doctor will say, then go get some Chinese medicine and have a look. In fact, this is a big mistake. Chinese medicine plays different roles at different stages in the comprehensive treatment of tumors. In summary, the application of Chinese medicine before and after surgery can promote recovery; the application of Chinese medicine during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce Toxic effect; while the use of Chinese medicine in the maintenance phase can reduce recurrence and metastasis; in the late stage, it can improve the quality of life and prolong survival. Therefore, it can be seen from this that TCM treatment should be carried out in all stages of tumor treatment, rather than applied only when there is no last resort.

　　Misunderstanding 2: Expectations of traditional Chinese medicine are too high:

　　I often encounter patients like this, "Doctor, I have taken so many Chinese medicines, why are tumors Hasn’t it shrunk yet?" or "Doctor, can I treat my tumor with only Chinese medicine?" and similar issues. The problem to be clarified here is that malignant tumors are currently an unsolved medical problem in the international arena. Therefore, to achieve the best curative effect, comprehensive treatment must be used, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and biological therapy. Medical treatment. Even so, the cure rate of tumors is still very low worldwide. Although in recent years, with the development and progress of targeted therapy, the medical community has increasingly tended to treat tumors as a chronic disease similar to hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, etc., but ask, this type of disease, Is the current treatment only for long-term treatment and disease control? Therefore, we must not blindly expect too much of traditional Chinese medicine to treat tumors, but should actively cooperate with medication. Remember that the necessary modern medicine cannot be ignored, and strive to achieve the maximum effect in the treatment of chronic diseases such as tumors.

　　 Misunderstanding 3: Chinese medicine will hinder the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy:

　　 This situation is not only a frequent concern for cancer patients, but also a professional oncologist I would also go astray. I often heard some patients say "the doctor in a certain hospital will not let me take Chinese medicine." So here I need to emphasize again that the treatment of tumors is a comprehensive treatment, and it should be noted that Chinese medicine will not hinder the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I once encountered a patient because the doctor in charge did not allow her to seek traditional Chinese medicine treatment. As a result, after 8 cycles of chemotherapy, it caused severe peripheral nerve damage, so severe that the feet could not feel higher than the road surface and fell frequently. The traditional Chinese medicine has a preventive and therapeutic effect on peripheral nerve damage caused by this chemotherapy. More importantly, the preventive effect is far greater than the therapeutic effect. Imagine if this patient and the doctor in charge could receive TCM from the beginning and adopt TCM treatment, could this patient avoid the inconvenience in life caused by the side effects of chemotherapy. Moreover, the attenuating and synergistic effect of Chinese medicine on radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which has been confirmed by clinical experiments, can be safely used without fear.

　　Myth #4: Seeking treatment blindly, delaying the condition

　　 There is another situation, the other extreme, where such patients are often encountered in outpatient clinics, " Doctor, I feel that surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are all too sinful. Do you have any special Chinese medicine for my disease?", and I often encounter some patients who are deceived because they listen to the medical doctors in the society and fake Chinese medicine. Be fooled and delay the condition. I once met a patient who refused to undergo conventional chemotherapy to consolidate treatment after ovarian cancer surgery. Instead, he accepted some of the opinions of the society’s counterfeit traditional Chinese medicine, saying that he should eat raw things such as raw eggplant, raw potatoes, and cannot eat meat. They also took what they had prepared for the treatment of tumors. The result was not only extensive tumor metastasis, but when he came to the clinic, hemoglobin was only 4.5 grams (11-15 grams in normal people) due to severe malnutrition. Zhang Wu is a good warning at this time. It is recommended that patients not forget to use Chinese medicine treatment, but when choosing Chinese medicine treatment, they must keep their eyes open. In fact, it is very easy to distinguish. A regular doctor of traditional Chinese medicine will never say "no surgery, no radiotherapy, no chemotherapy, or cure a tumor". He will analyze your condition objectively and decide the prescription according to your situation.

　　Myth five: The difference between traditional Chinese medicine and health products:

　　Almost all patients cannot distinguish the boundaries between traditional Chinese medicine and health products, and patients often ask I "doctor, can I eat Ganoderma lucidum spore powder" "doctor, can I eat xyz nutrients" and so on, I usually answer this way, "If someone else sent you, it can be done without affecting the normal medication. Eat some, if you pay for it yourself, it’s not necessary, save money to buy medicine or improve your diet!" But there are some patients who eat a lot of health products every day, even affecting normal eating. In the final analysis, health products can only play a health role. It is possible to supplement some trace elements or nutrients in the body, but it is not a drug or a food after all. Drugs can have a therapeutic effect. A variety of foods can ensure the body needs The various nutrients, so health care products should be ranked after medicines and food in the treatment of tumors and health care. It is recommended that patients must avoid this, and it is regrettable that they should not be turned upside down.

In summary, when you get a tumor, when you decide on surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biological treatment, don’t forget that there is another important treatment method-Chinese medicine treatment, and when choosing Chinese medicine treatment, To avoid the above misunderstandings, correct choice, and ultimately achieve the best effect.
