Sensible Choice in Hospital and Positive Mindset

In May 2019, Ms. Lin, 57, visited Clifford Hospital after presented with postmenopausal bleeding. She was later diagnosed at the Gynecology Department as advanced endometrial cancer and breast cancer, accompanied by extensive metastases involving multiple organs.

As a fan to Clifford Hospital, Ms. Lin decided to receive the whole course of cancer treatment in the hospital. As always, She looks for the bright side and maintains a positive mindset. She even encourages other cancer patients to cheer up, “cancer is not terminal, just a chronic disease. We simply need to have optimistic outlook and trust the doctors”.

Integrative Cancer Treatment Improves Quality of Survival

In July, 2019, Ms. Lin entered the Oncology Inpatient Section of Clifford Hospital. Through close observations, she found a strange phenomenon: the patients who were just transferred here showed hair loss, gaunt looks, and emaciation, but those who received treatment here since diagnosis look normal. Ms. Lin believes “it is credited to the Integrative Cancer Treatment”, after witnessing the effect of long-term Integrative Treatment in alleviating toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and improving the quality of survival.

For Ms. Lin, Doctors from the Oncology Center recommended personalized conservative treatment protocol combining radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Integrative therapies. “I don’t feel much discomfort with chemotherapy. I haven’t experienced vomiting or hair loss. I’m good spirit every day.” Such mild chemo experience is out of her expectation and makes her more confident in the future.

Ms. Lin Receiving Local Hyperthermia

Persistent Weekly Follow-up Hyperthermia for 1 Year

The Integrative Cancer Treatment combines Western Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Natural Medicine. It formulates individualized treatment therapies integrating hyperthermia, chelation, ozone therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Nutritional therapy and psychological counselling.

“My favorite part is hyperthermia”, says Ms. Lin. She persists returning to the hospital for hyperthermia every week. She states, “when my hyperthermic therapy was terminated by Covid 19, I just felt restless and couldn’t even sleep well at night. Nowadays, when I return to the protocol, I sleep soundly till morning and I’m really good in spirit.”

Returning to Hyperthermia Department for Therapies

After one year of hyperthermic therapies, Ms. Lin has experienced great improvement in strength and spirit. She can now walk around the lake in Clifford Estates twice a day without feeling tired. Even her neighbors don’t realize that such an energetic lady is a late-stage cancer patient. She even makes enthusiastic recommendations to her cancer friends, “the hyperthermic therapy in Clifford Hospital is really effective. It’s worth a try.” 

 Widely Applicable Even to Subhealthy Individuals

Hyperthermia is a non-invasive method of increasing body temperature so as to achieve the target of treatment. Modern hyperthermia has developed into the No.5 major therapy for cancer treatment after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immonotherapy. According to Dr. Lu, the chief hyperthermia specialist in Clifford Hyperthermia Center, hyperthermia can effectively damage and kill malignant cancer cells, and activate anti-cancer immunity. When used in combination with other modalities, hyperthermia can render tumor cells more sensitive to other treatments like radiation and chemotherapy, and in the meanwhile, reduce the toxic and side effects of cancer therapies.

As hyperthermia can help accelerate metabolism, stimulate blood circulation, remove waste and toxins in the body, and repair damaged tissues, it is applicable not only to tumor treatments, but also to the preservation of health for patients with inflammatory diseases and subhealthy individuals.

The Hyperthermia Center in Clifford Hospital is equipped with state-of-art hyperthermic facilities and highly professional specialists, ready to provide personalized treatment protocol for patients of different needs.
