癌症放療和化療後遺症的緩解｜扁桃腺癌
幾個月來，我的雙膝持續疼痛。彎曲膝蓋穿襪子或跪下都變得困難且不便。儘管接受了多次注射治療，總共注射了十二次，疼痛卻絲毫沒有緩解。
經朋友推薦，我決定從台灣南部前往台北，尋求溫醫師的治療。
除了膝蓋疼痛，我還默默忍受另一種疾病二十餘年。 1992年，我被診斷出患有扁桃體癌，並接受了大量的放射治療和化療。雖然癌症治療成功，但我卻留下了長期的後遺症，包括嚴重的頭皮神經痛、因唾液分泌減少導致的慢性口乾以及持續的頸部僵硬。
二十多年來，我甚至無法忍受頭皮受到任何輕微的觸碰。像洗頭這樣簡單的日常活動都變成了痛苦的經歷，因為即使是輕微的觸碰也會引發劇烈的、如同觸電般的疼痛。我的頸部活動也受到了極大的限制，我不得不轉動整個身體，而不僅僅是轉動頭部。
在諮詢時，我向溫醫師講述了這些長期存在的症狀，並沒有抱太大的期望。溫醫師仔細評估了我的病情後，立即開始了治療。
令我驚訝的是，第一次治療後我幾乎立刻就感覺到了改變。頭皮的緊繃感和疼痛開始減輕，唾液分泌的改善也讓我的口乾症狀有所緩解，而且我的頸部活動也比過去幾年都要自如。
最重要的是，那些我曾經認為是癌症治療的永久性後遺症的症狀終於開始好轉了。
在與這些疾病抗爭了二十多年後，我從未想過會有好轉的一天。如今的改善遠超乎我的預期，大大提升了我的生活品質。
雖然我仍在接受治療，尚未完全康復，但目前的情況比以前好得多。起初，從台南到台北的路途讓我感到疲憊不堪，也相當不便，但現在回想起來，每一次旅程都彌足珍貴。
我衷心感謝溫醫師的悉心照顧、精湛醫術和無私奉獻。我希望我的經歷能鼓勵其他仍在與癌症治療後遺症作鬥爭的人。

For several months, I suffered from persistent pain in both knees. Bending my knees to put on socks or kneeling down became difficult and inconvenient. Despite receiving multiple rounds of injection treatments, including a total of twelve injections, the pain remained unchanged.
Through a friend’s recommendation, I decided to travel from southern Taiwan to Taipei to seek treatment from Dr. Wen.
In addition to knee pain, I had been silently enduring another condition for more than twenty years. In 1992, I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer and underwent extensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments. Although the cancer was successfully treated, I was left with long-term side effects including severe scalp nerve pain, chronic dry mouth due to reduced saliva production, and persistent neck stiffness.
For over two decades, I was unable to tolerate even gentle contact with my scalp. Simple activities such as washing my hair became painful experiences, as even light touch would trigger severe electric shock-like pain. My neck movement was also significantly limited, requiring me to turn my entire body rather than simply turning my head.
During my consultation, I shared these long-standing symptoms with Dr. Wen without expecting significant improvement. After carefully evaluating my condition, Dr. Wen began treatment immediately.
To my surprise, I noticed changes almost immediately after the first session. The tightness and pain in my scalp began to ease, my mouth felt less dry as saliva production improved, and I was able to move my neck more freely than I had in years.
Most importantly, the symptoms that I had accepted as permanent consequences of cancer treatment finally began to improve.
After living with these conditions for more than twenty years, I never imagined that relief would be possible. The improvements I have experienced have exceeded my expectations and greatly improved my quality of life.
Although I am continuing treatment and have not yet fully recovered, my current condition is significantly better than before. Traveling from Tainan to Taipei initially felt exhausting and inconvenient, but looking back, every trip has been worthwhile.
I sincerely thank Dr. Wen for his care, professionalism, and dedication. I hope my experience can provide encouragement to others who continue to struggle with long-term complications following cancer treatment.
