INTERVIEW OF MADAM THOO after 3rd Treatment by Alex Butt. 反问妈妈。
Since 1 Aug 2011, Madam Thoo had gone through 3 NGPDT treatments. The final treatment ended today 18th Dec 2011. She is still healthy and happy. Here are some questions for her: Q1. Is interstitial needle light painful? 会痛吗? Mom: Of course it feels pain with a needle inserted. But it is tolerable pain. Maybe the anesthetic is too little. 给针扎一定痛啦!可是还能忍。也可能麻痹镇不够。
Q2. How many insertions? 擦了几针呢? Mom: I received 2 insertions first. Then one at the side. And one at the lymph node. This lymph insertion is faster than NF. Finally a 5th needle was added to shine on a wider area at the surrounding areas. I wanted the 5th one (optional) so as to annihilate the cancer. 擦了五针。
Q3. How do you feel when the light shine? 有什么的感觉? Mom: I feel a wave of pressure as if the light adds a pressure of "stuffing a sausage". Also felt the warmth of the light, it felt like there is pressure pushing into the tumor, like a wave of of pressure. 好像针有点烧,也好像觉馅肉 肠的压力感觉。
Q4. Comparing your experience with NF and the NGPDT Dr, how do you feel? 比南方医院的经验有什么不同? Mom: The Dr. at NF hospital was complaining about the difficulty in inserting the needle (through the tissue). The doctor at NGPDT was much more experience and concentrate. The NF doctor was rougher, where as this NGPDT Dr was more gentle and considerate. Mrs. Kong who helped with Dr at NGPDT was very gentle. She showed experienced in supporting the patient. It gives me the feeling of care-ness and gentleness. NGPDT 北京的医生比较细心,不会太出力。觉得舒服。南方哪里的医生比较不细心。医生一直发牢骚 .
