Patient's question:
Sister has been complaining of stomach pain recently, sometimes accompanied by bleeding. We took her to the hospital for a check-up and found out she had pelvic cancer. We still haven't told her yet. How long can someone live with pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pelvic cancer depends on the specific cancer, the patient's physical condition, and their mental outlook. As long as appropriate methods are chosen and treatment is pursued actively, the goal of improving quality of life, alleviating symptoms, and extending life can be achieved. Advanced pelvic cancer patients should maintain a positive attitude, actively cooperate with treatment, and seek standardized, professional care as soon as possible, as this is key to prolonging life. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Xiannao (Curculigo orchioides), Zhifanxia (Pinellia ternata), Buguozhi (Psoralea corylifolia), Duhuo (Cissampelos pareira), Shichangpu (Acorus calamus), Xianhecao (Astragalus membranaceus), Daji (Cynanchum atratum), Shannai (Alpinia chinensis), Gouqizi (Lycium barbarum), Yiyiren (Coix lacryma-jobi), Diyu (Sanguisorba officinalis), Baian (Asarum europaeum), Zhijieji (Trionyx sinensis), Lianqiao (Forsythia suspensa), Zi cao (Isatis indigotica), Taoren (Peach kernel) can be used in combination with treatment. These traditional Chinese medicines, when used together, can effectively control the metastasis and spread of cancer cells, enhance the immune function of the body to suppress the growth of cancer cells, ultimately achieving the goal of overcoming cancer. They can also prevent residual cancer cells from returning and prevent recurrence and metastasis.
