My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Chapter 1163 - Is He Curable?

Chapter 1163: Is He Curable?

“What nonsense are you spouting?! We’re family, so why are you thanking me? By the way, if we can’t produce such a thin needle, is he still… curable?”

“Currently, I can only delay the outbreak of his illness. I can’t effectively put his condition under control, limit the growth of cancer cells, or eliminate cancer cells.”

“Then…”

“But I’ll come up with something. He only has mid-stage cancer, and he’ll have at least three months to half a year before it reaches late-stage cancer. Through acupuncture, it can be delayed until a year later. The rest will depend on whether I can make a breakthrough in my medical proficiency after a year. If not, he can only go for surgery and chemotherapy after a year, but it still won’t be effective.”

“That’s good, that’s good! Nuannuan, you’re so superb in medicine that the director of Emperor District Military Medical University is amazed by your medical skills. Grandpa believes that with time, you’ll definitely achieve a breakthrough.”

Nuannuan paused, then nodded. “Yes, I think so too. I’m sure I can save my Big Bro.”

“That’s good, that’s good! Then… are you still going to perform acupuncture on him?”

Nuannuan nodded. “Yes, I was just trying to test out a theory. If it doesn’t, I have other ways to delay his illness from worsening. On one hand, I can give him acupuncture, and on the other, I can make my own medicine. The two combined will allow him to recover a lot in a short time. With time, I’ll be able to let him recover enough to stay in the early stage or middle stage.”

“Oh, I see. I see.”

Old Master Chi nodded. Seeing that Nuannuan kept chatting with him and Feng Shengxuan’s s.h.i.+rt had been open for a while now without receiving any treatment, Old Master Chi realized that he had spoken too much tonight.

“You’re always answering my questions. I’m making you unable to focus on treating your big brother. I think I should leave.”

Nuannuan smiled and said, “It’s alright, Grandpa. You can watch as much as you want.”

“Heh, forget it, forget it. After talking to you about such an academically in-depth problem for a while, I’m starting to feel sleepy. I should go back to sleep.”

“Okay, take care, Grandpa.”

“Sure, sure, sure.” Seeing that Nuannuan was about to stand up to send him off, the old master quickly added, “Don’t get up, I’ll go back to my room myself.”

Nuannuan smiled. “Okay.”

Nuannuan responded and started to perform acupuncture on Feng Shengxuan.

Although the silver needle was indeed much thicker than a single cell, every time the silver needle p.r.i.c.ked into the cancer cells, it would kill many normal cells in the process too. However, Nuannuan’s every p.r.i.c.k targeted the area where a lot of cancer cells gathered—especially where more cancer cells and fewer normal cells aggregated.

Therefore, a lot of cancer cells died after each p.r.i.c.k.

This was similar to radiation therapy and chemotherapy in western medicine.

Radiation therapy would kill every cell in a part of the patient’s body, including cancer cells and normal cells, as well as immune cells.

Therefore, most patients who underwent radiation therapy or chemotherapy would be very weak since the treatments not only destroyed the cancer cells in their bodies but also destroyed normal and immune cells too.

Without immune cells in the human body, viruses could easily invade the human body. This was why cancer patients who received radiation and chemotherapy had to stay in sterile wards—their bodies had lost their resistance to viruses.

However, acupuncture was a much gentler treatment than radiation and chemotherapy.

Even so, since her needle was too thick and her supernatural ability was quite limited in this sense, Nuannuan could only kill the most harmful and largest cancer cells.
