The light of life across the Chao Phraya River: A Thai patient's anti-cancer notes
I am Somchai, 43 years old, an ordinary office worker from Bangkok, Thailand. Three years ago, my life was completely disrupted by an illness - frequent abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and even nausea when drinking water. I underwent countless examinations in a hospital in Bangkok and was eventually diagnosed with "duodenal cancer." The doctor recommended surgery and chemotherapy, but six months later, the tumor was still stubborn. After each chemotherapy, I was too weak to get up, and the doctor just shook his head: "Our technology may not be able to help you."
In desperation, I typed "world's advanced duodenal cancer treatment" into Google, and the "Guangzhou R&F Hospital International Cancer Center" that popped up caught my attention. The detailed success stories and recovery stories of patients from various countries on the webpage, especially the introduction of the "MDT multidisciplinary team" and "precision anti-cancer technology", made me feel like I had grabbed a life-saving straw. Through email consultation, the hospital responded quickly and arranged for a Chinese translator to communicate. A week later, I flew to China with my medical records and hope.
On the first day I walked into Guangzhou R&F Hospital, I was surprised by the "difference" here.
Unlike the crowded clinics in Thai hospitals, the MDT team here (5 experts from oncology, surgery, nutrition, etc.) jointly examined me. They used 3D images to clearly show the location of the tumor and explained: "Traditional chemotherapy may accidentally injure healthy cells, but we will use targeted therapy to accurately attack cancer cells and combine immunotherapy to activate your own resistance." The nurse also took the plan translated into Thai and drew pictures to explain the side effects and countermeasures. This is the first time I feel that I am not passively "receiving treatment", but a "teammate" fighting side by side with the doctor.
The treatment process was easier than I thought.
After the targeted drug infusion, I did not vomit and lose hair like before, but was able to eat normally; the immunotherapy every two weeks was like a shot of "energy". During the follow-up three months later, the doctor pointed to the CT report and said excitedly: "The tumor has shrunk by 60%!" I stared at the shriveled shadow on the screen, and my hands were shaking so much that I could hardly hold the report - it turns out that cancer can really be "gently defeated".
Now, the tumor in my body has completely disappeared.
Before returning to China, I went to the Pearl River to take a photo under the rising sun. The doctors at Guangzhou R&F Hospital not only saved my life with their technology, but also rebuilt my trust in medical care with respect and patience. I want to say to my friends who are fighting cancer: medical care has no borders, and hope lasts forever. Find the right hospital and the right team, and you can also turn "terminal illness" into a false alarm in your life like me.
