Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling lethargic, having poor appetite, and losing weight rapidly. The pain started about two months ago. After diagnosis, it was found that I have pelvic cancer. The doctor said I need to undergo radiotherapy. I'm wondering, is radiotherapy for pelvic cancer uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your physical condition permits, you can consider appropriate radiotherapy. However, since radiotherapy lacks the ability to distinguish, it needs to be repeated. After multiple radiotherapy sessions, the patient's immune function declines, resistance decreases, and it becomes easier for the cancer to metastasize. It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine in a timely manner during Western medicine treatment. There is no conflict between radiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine; on the contrary, they can complement each other, enhance efficacy while reducing the side effects of radiotherapy, suppress and eliminate tumors, thereby achieving better therapeutic effects.
