Last year, it was a tough year. I had a few end of stage patients passed away, they all had surgeries and chemotherapy done before, after we had worked so hard together, I still can not keep them in this world. I missed them, and I know they are in the better place now. But during their last journey I was always asked by them, should I do chemotherapy from beginning? Was it worth to go through all those suffering then I had the same results? Those are questions I cannot answer for them.

This is why I always tell my patients not to drink cold or ice water, in order to protect spleen Yang Qi, always keep their back and feet warm, in order to protect Kidney Yang Qi, always keep their chest covered, in order to protect lung and heart Yang Qi, always try to be peace in mind, in order to protect the liver Yang Qi.
