"A 'stone' grew on my chest, and the nightmare began"
My name is Nguyen Thi Phuong, and I am the wife of a captain in the Vietnamese Army. My husband guards the border all year round, and I raise two young children alone in Hanoi. Every morning after sending my children to school, I would go to the vegetable market to set up a stall to sell rice noodles. Although it was hard work, I always felt warm in my heart when I heard customers praise my craftsmanship. But fate always likes to play tricks - that morning that changed everything, I felt a lump on my right chest when I was changing clothes, like a cold stone.
A turning point in despair: seeking medical treatment across borders
In a Hanoi hospital, the doctor diagnosed breast cancer with a thick needle puncture. After three months of chemotherapy, I vomited bitter bile and had night sweats that soaked the bed sheets, but the tumor grew from 3 cm to 5 cm. The attending doctor shook his head and suggested a total mastectomy, but the crying of the patient in the next bed because of the metastasis of cancer cells after surgery made me clutch my collar tightly. My husband looked through the information and suddenly rushed into the ward with a mobile phone in his hand: "There is a hospital in Guangzhou, China that can use a 'cryosurgery knife' to treat tumors without surgery!"
“Cancer may freeze life, but it cannot freeze the spark of hope.” - Nguyen Thi Phuong
Cryotherapy: A unique way to "freeze cancer" at minus 140℃
In the summer of 2023, we boarded a flight to Guangzhou. At the International Cancer Center of Guangzhou R&F Hospital, Director Wang of the Breast Department pointed to the tumor on the CT image and said to me: "It was 'frozen to death' like a frozen pear, do you believe it?" It turned out that they used argon-helium knife cryoablation, with a fine needle puncturing the center of the tumor. The low temperature of minus 140℃ instantly froze the cancer cells, and then the temperature was raised to make them collapse. What's more surprising is that they have developed a combination of "freezing + minimally invasive targeting + Chinese medicine conditioning".
On the day of treatment, I was lying in the interventional treatment room, and I only felt a slight coolness in my chest, like a mint leaf. On the screen, the tumor that had tortured me for half a year gradually shrank in the ice crystals. The day after the operation, I was able to walk to the Chinese medicine clinic to take my pulse. The tonic decoction prepared by the old Chinese medicine doctor has a faint ginseng fragrance, combined with moxibustion fumigation, the cold hands and feet left during chemotherapy have never recurred.
Chinese and Western medicine join forces: minimally invasive targeted therapy + Chinese medicine conditioning
The most amazing thing is minimally invasive targeted therapy - the nurse said that the light yellow liquid medicine is a "biological missile" and is directly injected into the tumor blood vessels through an interventional catheter. There is no hair loss, no vomiting, and on the third day I sent a video to my husband on the balcony of the ward: "Look, the kapok flowers outside the window are blooming!"
Now that I have been back to China for half a year, every time I touch the pinhole scar the size of a fingernail on my right chest, I feel like I have had a dream. Last week, Guangzhou sent a PET-CT report: the tumor activity has completely disappeared. When I was cooking rice noodles for the children in the morning, my little daughter suddenly hugged me and said, "Mom, the herbal smell is so good." That is the smell of the Chinese medicine conditioning prescription that I insist on drinking every day.
