Chapter 176: TCM Gentle Therapy

The little boy's condition was very bad, and Yang Xuan finally understood why the woman placed her last hope on God!

Because of the illness the little boy suffers from, even if the King of Medicine were alive, he would not be able to save him!

Through the method of bone palpation, Yang Xuan discovered that the little boy had many bone lumps in his body, and these lumps had spread throughout his body.

In terms of modern Western medicine, this is the highly malignant osteosarcoma that terrifies countless parents and teenagers.

And the little boy's condition was already in the advanced stage.

This is a type of distant metastasis that will occur early. Common metastatic sites include the lungs, other bones, brain, etc.

If it spreads to the lungs, it can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and chest pain.

Metastasis to other parts of the body can further worsen the condition.

Amputation should be performed to prevent the spread of osteosarcoma, but the result is obvious. Amputation still fails to prevent the spread of osteosarcoma!

It is hard to imagine the pain the woman endured when she signed the amputation consent form.

But in the end, even though the child had already undergone amputation, the effect was still not obvious, and he would still lose his young life due to osteosarcoma!

How heart-wrenching must that pain be?

Yang Xuan took a deep breath, feeling heavy-hearted, and turned to the woman.

"Western medicine may have reached its limit, but Chinese medicine emphasizes overall coordination. In the remaining time he has, I can help alleviate some of his pain and make his life more comfortable."

"I know how difficult this is for you, but please believe me, I will not give up any hope."

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes. There was despair in her eyes, but she also clung to the little bit of hope in Yang Xuan's words.

Yang Xuan began to use various methods of traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal decoctions and massage, to help the little boy regulate his body, relieve pain and strengthen his body's positive energy as much as possible.

At the same time, Lina shared the little boy's story through the live broadcast platform, calling on all sectors of society to pay attention to the disease of osteosarcoma, especially the health threat it poses to teenagers.

This is a special high-incidence disease that is common among adolescents aged 10 to 20 years old.

The main symptom is pain around the joints or limbs without obvious cause.

The pain may be intermittent at first, but as the condition progresses, it may become constant and worse, especially at night or with activity.

As the tumor grows, the affected area may become swollen or feel lumpy, which may occur at the same time as the pain or may develop later.

Because of the pain and swelling, adolescents may begin to avoid using the affected limb, resulting in functional limitations, such as difficulty walking or limited joint movement.

Due to the physiological changes that accompany growth and development during adolescence, as well as minor injuries and pains that may occur during daily activities, the initial symptoms of osteosarcoma (such as pain) may be mistaken for growing pains or sports injuries, leading to delayed diagnosis. Parents must be vigilant.

Osteosarcoma in adolescents most often occurs in the lower extremities, particularly around the knee joint, but may also occur in the upper extremities, spine, or other skeletal areas.

Treatment usually includes chemotherapy, surgery (which may include limb-sparing surgery or amputation), and radiation therapy.

The treatment process is extremely challenging both physically and mentally for both teenagers and parents.

Once the above symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention immediately for professional examination to achieve early diagnosis and treatment, which is crucial to improving prognosis.

Early diagnosis and treatment is the best time to intervene in osteosarcoma treatment!
Once metastasis occurs, it will be extremely difficult to treat!

However, the above are for Western medicine. For Chinese medicine, as long as the pulse is not dead, there is still hope!
However, the little boy's condition is indeed very serious, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is terminally ill.

So Yang Xuan was not completely sure.

In order not to give the mother false hope, he did not tell her about this part.

Anyway, as long as you agree to let him treat you, it will be fine.

"Thank you, big brother, but no thanks."

The little boy suddenly spoke at this time. He had given up. No one knew better than him how bad his situation was. He didn't want to be tormented anymore.

Now he just wants to accompany his mother through the last journey of her life, that's all.

Yang Xuan's heart tightened. The little boy's words revealed an understanding and maturity far beyond his age, which made him feel distressed and moved.

He thought about it and decided to try another angle to convince the little boy.

"Little friend, big brother doesn't want to give you bitter medicine or make you suffer, but wants to use a very special method, just like telling a story. Let's walk and play together, and make you feel better. How about it?"

The little boy looked at his mother, whose eyes were full of encouragement and expectation. She gently held the child's hand and spoke very tenderly.

"Child, since the big brother is willing to help us, let's give it a try. Haven't you always wanted to see the sunrise over the mountain?"

"We can heal as we go, maybe we can see it together!"

My mother wants to be cured. Even if there is only the tiniest hope, she is willing to try, even if it means spending all her money.

This was also the reason why she was forced to come here to circumambulate the sacred mountain and kowtow.

Since humans have no way, she will beg the gods for help!
Even the slightest bit of hope is the basis for her to live!

The little boy hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, with helplessness and a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

If possible, why would he want to die?
In this way, Yang Xuan began to use the gentle treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the little boy's interests, and integrated treatment into daily pilgrimages and games.

Anyway, they were all walking the same path, and apart from the fact that Yang Xuan's workload had increased a lot, there was almost no other change.

Yang Xuan used light-hearted stories to explain the knowledge of acupoints and meridians, and used simple games to guide the little boy to do breathing exercises and slight body movements. He also served carefully prepared Chinese herbal tea to make the whole process as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

At the same time, he also provides the little boy with various auxiliary treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, ice compress, massage, and so on.

At first, when everyone saw that Yang Xuan's actions had no effect, they all thought that he really just wanted to make the little boy's last journey in life more comfortable.

But as time went by, the little boy's complexion gradually improved. Although his condition did not reverse fundamentally, his mental state improved greatly and he smiled more and more.

He even began to look forward to his daily "game time" with Yang Xuan.

Watching her son change day by day, the mother's shock gradually turned into incredible joy, with tears of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

She once thought that all her efforts were in vain and that every day with the little boy could be his last day, but Yang Xuan's arrival injected a warm and firm force into her desperate life.

However, Yang Xuan did not show any joy at all, but instead frowned.
