Flying to Guangzhou three times for medical care during three months
Hungary, a landlocked country of central Europe, located in Danube Floodplains, is more than 7 thousand kilometer away from China, which takes nearly 10-hour flight.
Almasy is 45-year old engineer with a happy family. Two years ago, he had paroxysmal pain in right abdomen once or twice a week. Then, he developed in pain right should and back too. In early 2015, he had a physical examination at hospital of Hungary and was diagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
The result of diagnose like a bolt out of blue made Almasy shocked and so sad.
A month later, he had chemotherapy twice at local hospital, but he showed symptoms of nausea, vomiting and blood poisoning. Doctors thought that the side effects of chemo were big and suggested no more chemotherapy.
On March 2016, Almasy had pain in right abdomen again. The result of re-examination showed the hepatic tumor was bigger. He was depressed, but he had to find proper treatment plan at once.
Soon, he learned that Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital in China had many characteristic therapies from local doctor Alina. After having a comparison with other hospitals, on early April, he flew to Guangzhou at first time and accepted treatment at Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital.
According to Director Qian Wei of the third ward’s words, Almasy received much attention from hospital. A medical team headed by President Niu Lizhi made a comprehensive treatment plan based on his condition. After having cryosurgery and iodine seed implantation and so on, Almasy’s condition was under control.
FUDA’s humanistic care touched him
Almasy can’t speak English, so Fuda Cancer Hospital found a translator from volunteers to help and take care of him. “There are lots of doctors who had studied abroad with fluent English. I can’t speak English, which causes a big obstacle in communication. They specially find a translator for me. The guy speaks Hungarian so well.” Almasy appreciated this very much.
With careful treatment and nursing at Fuda Cancer Hospital, his physical and mental condition was much better. During his treatment, a Hungarian television went to Guangzhou especially to ask him how he felt about the treatment at FUDA.
Almasy told author, in recent years, cancer incidence were higher and higher, but the survivor rate and recovery rate were lower than average level of Union Europe. Related departments of Hungary invested a large number of money to cancer prevention and treatment. And cancer fund was specially established for raising money for local cancer patients.
“After cryosurgery, I feel better and my appetite returns. I believe I can go home soon…” It’s from a video recorded by Almasy on 26th July, which aimed at sharing his treatment experience at Fuda Cancer Hospital with his friends and Hungarian cancer patients. Vice president Mu Feng was invited to be guest in the video.
In order to express his gratitude to medical staff, Almasy gave chocolates to doctors and nurses. But according to rules of Fuda Cancer Hospital medical staff can’t accept patients’ money and gift. The chocolates were re-gifted to other patients. Later on, nurses gave a set of delicate tableware with Chinese characteristic to Almasy. He said happily, “it’s so delicate. I am reluctant to use it.”
The strong humanistic atmosphere at Fuda Cancer Hospital moved Almasy so much.
