I wanted to share a real case I heard about recently (with some personal details omitted for privacy). This is only a personal experience sharing post, not medical advice.

An uncle from Malaysia was diagnosed with colorectal cancer about two years ago.

At the time, the treatment plan offered by the local hospital mainly involved surgery followed by further treatment.

But he was very resistant to the idea of surgery.

The reason was simple and very personal: he had seen people around him living with permanent stoma bags after surgery, and the impact on their quality of life left a deep impression on him.

Later, he also tried a period of conservative and supportive care.

Some indicators showed temporary fluctuation and improvement at first, but his digestive and bowel issues gradually became more noticeable over time.

What finally made him consider another direction was a fellow Malaysian cancer patient.

That person had previously traveled to China for cancer treatment and seemed to recover quite well after returning home, so he recommended that this uncle at least look into it.

Eventually, he went through DengYueMed and traveled to a cancer specialty hospital in Guangzhou.

Before his first visit, doctors in China remotely reviewed the medical reports and scans he had done in Malaysia, and then discussed possible treatment approaches with him.

The treatment he received was more in the direction of “precision radiotherapy” (similar to image-guided radiotherapy systems like CyberKnife-style technology).

One of the features was shorter treatment sessions with relatively less impact on surrounding normal tissues.

To be clear, this is NOT saying that avoiding surgery is always better, and it does NOT mean every colorectal cancer patient is suitable for radiotherapy.

Different cancer stages, tumor locations, and physical conditions can lead to very different treatment plans.

But for him personally, the biggest change was this:

During follow-up examinations after treatment, some related indicators and his overall physical condition improved compared to before, and he gradually regained the ability to handle daily activities again.

He said the thing that impressed him most was that the doctors spent a lot of time explaining the treatment plan, rather than simply telling him “do it or don’t do it.”

Now he is able to drive and go out normally again.

Although he is still undergoing regular follow-ups, his mindset and overall quality of life seem much better than before.

I’m not posting this to promote any particular hospital.

I just feel that many overseas patients still don’t know much about how cancer treatment in China has evolved in recent years. Beyond traditional approaches, some hospitals are now exploring more personalized and precise treatment strategies.

Of course, any cancer treatment decision should always be based on proper medical evaluation and professional advice.

Just sharing a real experience for discussion and reference.
