Elly

In May 2016, a special lymphoma patient, from Djakarta, came to Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for reexamination. To her great delight, CT scan shows everything is normal with no sign of tumor recurrence, which means she has lived 8 more years fortunately since she was first diagnosed with lymphoma. However, she had a miserable time before.

The misdiagnosis made situation worse

To her surprise, during the time she was waiting for the diagnosis after surgery, the tumor quickly swelling to more than ten centimeters with continuing deteriorate physical condition. Without more considering, Elly returned to Jakarta instantly. Before long, the diagnosis came as a nightmare: lymphoma stage III. All of these things happened unexpectedly, which made her sad and scared.

8 years before

Received treatments in MCHG

Under this situation, Elly and the family were at a panic. Introduced by some friends, they got to know MCHG. Although her friends strongly recommended MCHG, but she lacked confidence due to former unpleasant treatments experience.

“Fear and nervous feelings lingered all the time. Since some unpleasant treatment experiences in Malaysia, like serious doctors, few times of being scolded and limited treatments effects, which lead to psychological shadow on me. When they talk about MCHG, I do not trust them initially,” Elly said.

Tumor shrank in size gradually and disappeared finally

After a full study of Elly’s case, MDT of MCHG developed a treatment plan as minimally invasive therapy and combined chemotherapy. “Before the treatment is performed, doctors comfort me and explain me all the procedures. To ease my nervous emotion, doctors also play some soft music during treatment. Because it is a local anesthetic, I can feel the whole surgical procedure. Listening to music while undergoing treatment, which is really a relaxed treatment experience. When treatment finished, doctors patiently inform me the contraindication. All of these warm details refreshed my former impression regarding treatment procedures,” Elly expressed.

After the first combined chemotherapy, obviously tumor shrinkage was showed. With several times of treatments, the tumor shrank in size gradually and disappeared finally. She was back to a normal eventually.
