大腸癌可以看中醫調理!

癌症治療期間中醫的支持作用

許多患者在確診癌症後需要接受手術、化學治療、放射治療等西醫治療方法。在治療的過程中,會對身體帶來一些副作用,例如噁心、嘔吐、食欲不振、疲勞、手腳麻、白血球降低等等。面對這些挑戰,越來越多的患者選擇在接受西醫治療的同時,藉助中醫來調理身體,提升生活品質。

中醫藥在癌症治療中扮演著輔助的角色,主要是藉由調整體質(身體的特質),增強身體的正氣(免疫力),減輕上述治療過程中的不適症狀,從而提高癌症患者的生活品質。

減輕副作用
中藥可以幫助緩解化療和放療帶來的副作用。比如,通過使用特定的中藥配方,可以減少噁心、嘔吐、食欲不振等症狀,改善患者的胃腸功能,增強食欲,從而更好地支持西醫治療的順利進

增強免疫力
化療和放療在殺死癌細胞的同時,也會損傷正常細胞,導致免疫力下降。中醫藥通過調節機體的整體功能,可以提高患者的免疫力,減少感染風險,促進身體的自我修復。

改善生活質量
中醫講究整體調理,通過望聞問切四診合參之後開立中藥處方,結合針灸、推拿,可以改善患者的體質偏性,增加睡眠品質,緩解焦慮和壓力,提升精神狀態。這些對於患者面對漫長的治療過程,保持積極樂觀的心態極為重要。

促進康復
在完成西醫治療後,中醫藥還可以幫助患者維持平和體質,恢復臟腑的正常功能,中醫藥可以幫助患者重建健康體魄,迎接新的生活。

A Thank You Note form a Sudden Hearing Lost Patient

Here's a thank you note posted on the e-news website of Tri-service General Hospital

I use ChatGPT to translated it into English:

    Thank you to Dr. Lin Hung-che, an ENT specialist, Dr. Hsieh Tsung-yun, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and all the medical staff of Ward 22.

    On January 11, 2024, I woke up to find my left ear's hearing was abnormal. Following the advice of Dr. Zheng Liqiang from Neihu Chenggong Joint Clinic, I immediately sought treatment at Tri-Service General Hospital. Dr. Lin Hung-che, an ENT specialist at your esteemed hospital, diagnosed me with sudden deafness (commonly known as "ear stroke") through a hearing test and explained that treatment within the golden period was necessary for the possibility of hearing recovery. However, as I was about to travel abroad for a week, I couldn't decide whether to wait until returning to the country for treatment. In my moment of indecision, Dr. Lin provided an objective analysis from his professional standpoint and advised that my health should be the priority, leading me to promptly undergo hospital treatment.

    During my hospital stay, following Dr. Lin's advice, I received treatments including intravenous injections, oral medication, and also acupuncture from Dr. Hsieh Tsung-yun, along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The combination of these treatments significantly improved my hearing within the first 1-2 days of admission, which was incredibly hopeful for someone who had suddenly lost their hearing. After nearly a week of treatment, I passed the hearing test and was discharged in good health, which made me extremely happy!


    I would like to express my special thanks to the following medical staff:

1. Dr. Lin Hung-che from the ENT department: When I felt helpless and indecisive, you quickly analyzed my condition from an accurate perspective, provided professional advice that encouraged me to face it actively, and carefully checked on me and arranged treatments during my hospital stay, allowing me to recover quickly. Your professionalism not only healed my condition but also earned my deep respect.

2. Dr. Hsieh Tsung-yun in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Your excellent acupuncture skills not only targeted the affected area but also considered other conditions with the use of Chinese medicine, speeding up my recovery significantly.

3. Doctors and nurses of Ward 22: Thank you for your careful attention, medication reminders, and encouragement during your busy schedules, making me feel warm and cared for during my hospital stay.

4. MRI and hyperbaric oxygen treatment staff, hearing test personnel, and shift leaders: As someone with high myopia, I was understandably nervous about undergoing various examinations without my glasses. However, you always managed to explain procedures and offer support in time, allowing me to feel the warmth between patients and medical staff. Thank you.

I am grateful to every medical professional and administrative staff involved in my treatment. Your hard work and dedication have helped me regain my hearing and filled me with respect for the medical profession. I wish you all well and thank you again for your exceptional medical service.

Sincerely, Patient Li *Zeng


感謝耳鼻喉科林鴻哲醫師、中醫謝宗運醫師及22病房所有醫護人員

        本人於113年1月11日起床後突然發現左耳聽力異常,經內湖成功聯合診所鄭犁強醫師建議,馬上前來三總求診。經貴院的耳鼻喉科醫師—林鴻哲醫師透過聽力檢測診斷出我罹患突發性耳聾(俗稱耳中風),並說明需在黃金時期內接受治療以促使聽力恢復。然而,我因即將前往國外出差一週,無法當機立斷是否等待回國後再接受治療,正猶豫不決時,經得林醫師以其專業的客觀立場分析,建議應以身體為優先考量後,我立即辦理住院治療。

        入院期間,根據林醫師的建議,我除了接受靜脈注射、口服藥...等醫療,還加上中醫謝宗運醫師的針灸以及高壓氧治療,這些治療方式的結合使我在入院後第1~2天聽力即明顯改善,對於突然失去聽力的病人來說,無異是看到了希望。經過近一週的治療,我最終通過聽力測驗,健康地出院,實在是太開心了!

        能健康出院我要特別感謝下列醫護人員:

1. 耳鼻喉科林鴻哲醫師:在我感到無助無法下決定的時候,您以精確的角度快速分析我的狀況,給予專業建議促使我積極面對,並在入院期間細心查房和安排治療,使我得已迅速康復。您的專業不僅讓我的病情痊癒,更讓我深感敬佩。

2. 中醫謝宗運醫師:您的針灸手法高超,不僅能單獨治療患病處,還能搭配中藥兼顧其它病況,雙管齊下,使我的康復進展神速。

3. 22病房住院醫師、護理師:感謝您們在百忙之中的細心照料、叮嚀服藥以及鼓勵打氣,讓我在入院期間感受到溫馨與關懷。

4. 核磁共振、高壓氧治療人員、聽力檢查室、班長們:由於我有高度近視,需要脫下眼鏡進行各項檢查時不免驚恐,但您們總是能適時說明並給予牽扶,讓我感受到醫病之間的溫暖,謝謝您們。

        感謝每一位參與我治療的醫療專業人員、行政人員,您們的辛勞和付出讓我重新找回聽覺,讓我對醫療事業充滿敬意。祝願您們一切安好,再次感謝您們的卓越醫療服務。 

病人李*錚 敬謝
