      Chinese hospitals may not be the best in the world, but they are definitely far more efficient than most of hospitals in the west, and the quality of the treatment is not bad at all. About 2 years ago I wasn't feeling well and went to a Chinese hospital, I talked to a doctor, did a CT scan and blood test, got the results back, talked to the doctor again and got some prescriptions, all done in 5 hours. My dad needed a small surgery 4 years ago, from the first time he visited the hospital to the moment he was done with the surgery and released from the hospital, all finished within a month. Those 2 events both happened in regular public hospitals. Last year I did a blood test in Australia, it took 4 days just to get the result back. The China speed is everywhere in China, including the healthcare system.

    As a breast cancer survivor myself (I live in Canada), I feel for you. But like you, I was clear with my lymph nodes, even though my tumor was pretty large too at 2.5 cm, so a lumpectomy followed by radiation and chemotherapy together was able to cure me completely. It’s been 12 years since. With more advanced science nowadays, you would be ok. Stay optimistic and hopeful. (And yes, you’d probably lose your hair with the chemotherapy, but it will grow back. And yes, the chemotherapy would probably make you sick, but there’s anti-vomiting drugs you can have through IV as well as oral, which would significantly alleviate those side effects. And yes, chemotherapy would reduce your white blood cell counts, but there’s also drugs that can boost the numbers back up. Again, this happened to me more than a decade ago. I’m sure there are even better drugs nowadays. So no need to worry too much.) Best of luck to you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 (in case you wonder, I’m female. Breast cancer in men is not that common, but not extremely rare. I know a man, indirectly, who had breast cancer around the same time I did.)

      I have a suggestion that you can search for a kind of alternative therapy called "Longevitology" or "长生学". The method is using natural energy, and no drugs and no sides effect at all and very practical. I suggest that you take the treatment from doctors and also get longevitology treatment as supportive therapy. It may help you to reduce the chemotherapy side effects and pain. The longevitology is free. I have a teacher here that faced breast cancer and get longevitology treatment along with chemotherapy, it helped her a lot. Hope this information may help you.

I wouldn’t go to a same hospital again if I were you. When I was in Beijing , too busy was always the only case. Too many patients and too much workload for nurses and doctors is real it’s not an excuse it’s a fact. When I was in Beijing, a doctor sees about 80 patients a day in major hospitals in Beijing, sometimes up to 120 patients, nurses could’ve double or triple this number. These are far more than any western clinic or hospital. In most of western countries, nurses and doctors would go on a strike and asking for a pay raise. If you go to a hospital in Beijing, everybody’s busy af there’s no such thing as 2 hours lunch break, 30 minutes instant noodle lunches /takeaway lunches along with department patient analysis/ group studies are way more common. Btw why does period pain has anything to do with the health care system? Painkillers don’t need prescriptions. I would think this system is the best for Chinese atm it makes the the healthcare affordable for most of people efficiently. You’ll have to understand what you went through does not necessarily happening in other places in China just because China’s BIG. There are 91cities in China have more than 5 million people, and 5 million is the population of whole New Zealand. I have settled in New Zealand so I couldn’t do much about improving the Chinese health care system, however there’s a lot of people over there working on making China a better place. And I have faith on them. Idk how long you’ve been living in China but obviously assuming other’s family will go through cancer is incredibly rude and offensive in at least Chinese culture. Not sure if your in laws ever told you that. Definitely something need to be aware of in future.

      @@TheScotsalan the young lady’s story is more relevant to the underdevelopment of that village other than a China problem, doctors in small villages are unlikely to keep their knowledge updated all over the world. I don’t get it why neither did she walk in any pharmacy get the painkiller nor did she seek for a better professional medical advice if it really bothers her that much. Even in NZ not all doctors are good, if one didn’t help I’ll just book another appointment with another doctor/clinic , isn’t it common sense? I thought taking painkillers when suffer in pain is a common sense as well. Also just fyi any questions/ suggestions/ advice can be left in the government’s wechat mini program they’ll be answering it. But first of all if I’m not happy with the hospital I’ll leave a complaint to the hospital, in Beijing they all have a department deals with it, hospital in Guangzhou should have it too. The system is not perfect yes, but again, you don’t get it all. Most of Chinese citizens get to access good doctors and treatments within a short time without worrying too much about the money but they can’t always get a happy nurse looking after them, in my opinion this is a pretty fair trade and totally understandable. For those who’s seeking for a higher quality medical service there’re plenty of private clinics in China as well, but they’ll be charging you like a American clinic tho. Chinese doctors earn so much less than they should due to the low charge of the appointment fee therefore it’s not hard to understand they’re at least expecting their job contact last long and stable. Money or stability, the hospital will have the offer one of them at least, no one’s saint, the doctors gotta live, you can’t be greedy. COVID pretty much proved that this system is much more capable than most of the health systems in the world. It’s need to improve but not until people’s salaries catch up.

      @@TheScotsalan why I don't complaint about healthcare in China- cos I'm not greedy, I've explained it to you in previous comments. I'm glad treatments in UK is totally free if it's true but in NZ is not. You'll have to pay for the visit, and not all treatments are free. Idk why you keep repeating " from the people for the people" thing. Abraham Lincoln actually said democracy is a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people." in Gettysburg address, did the US stick on it though? They wouldn't let covid kill so much Americans if they did. They don't give a shot about people. And this is probably not the only thing failed to the people over there, otherwise there won't have BLM etc. I'm so done with the double standard when it comes to China. Also there're so many farmers in China and who are you to speaking for them? My uncles are farmers and I'm pretty sure they won't agree with you. It's actually very stupid to assume they can only pick one, that's just not how it works. I'm not criticing NZ's healthcare system to defending China's healthcare system. I'm giving my opinion of both NZ healthcare system and China's healthcare system, and I think China's healthcare system suits China's situation the most for now.

However, breast cancer is actually localized the outside of our inner body, so we have more chances to survive.

If they misdiagnose u as having cancer A when you have cancer B, the doctor ends up giving u wrong chemo, making things worst. We try to sue but the doctor blames diagnostic company, then diagnostic guy files bankruptcy. Remember, chemo helps u 50%. The other 50% comes from somewhere else.

    Hi Lee, I really don't want to be a bummer but as a breast cancer survivor from eight years ago. I believe in realism. You are in for one helluva journey!! Chemo sucks! Breast Cancer sucks! Survival and being a changed person is almost a given these days especially as its not in your lymph nodes and your mass is still relatively small. Mine was 10 cms by the time we removed it about six weeks after finding it. You can absolutely survive this but it is going to be a journey. Be gentle to you and your mental health. Be honest with the people closest to you and the people who will do this with you. You do not have to be strong all of the time - let your loved ones be strong for you!!! Weakness and self honesty are a part of the cancer journey. This will take upwards of six months if not more. It can feel enormously lonely. You will get breaks between each treatment - enjoy those times and celebrate as you recover in each stage!!! Spend time at some of the fantastic places you have shared in your magnificent videos!!! Especially the Quarry Hotel!!!! OMG loved that video! You can do this Lee! Loads of take care thoughts from NZ :-)

He was almost 70 years old at that time. The operation was very successful. And he examined every year after operation and no any bad symptoms so far. I want to say, trust the Chinese doctors.

    I had cancer before. I went through the horrifying time too. It took a few years to get back to the new normal. I think after treatment, traditional Chinese herbs such as Ginseng and Lingzhi Soup really help warms your body and give you more energy. You will be super weak after treatment, so warm soups are the best and easy to consume! Other than that, what make you win the battle is positive thinking. Don't focus on the bad, just think of the good, like what you want to do after. Hope everything goes well. Best of luck!
