Patient's question:
My husband and I are just starting our careers, and we haven't been involved in household matters. My mother-in-law and father-in-law have been helping with the children and chores. But recently, my husband came home and told me that my father-in-law has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. We are very worried. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
The thyroid tumor was not widespread at the time, but as the course of the disease prolonged, both qi and yin were damaged, eventually leading to mutual impairment of yin and yang, resulting in a mild and neglected condition. The local area then turned into hyperthyroidism (reply rate reached 20%), becoming a chronic, mild and neglected disease. If left untreated for years, the fibrotic tissue cells in the local area could, over time, develop into cancer, harming the self-sustaining soul. According to the description, the canceration rate of thyroid tumors exceeds 10%! These two rates are quite high. To alleviate the burden of health concerns for oneself, if one suspects that a person close to them may have a thyroid tumor, it is essential to seek timely treatment. In reality, having thyroid cancer is not; patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is administered accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
