CASE RECORD · Breast cancer · Age not supplied
Ms Zheng had advanced breast cancer with metastases. Her family sought consultation after a critical-illness notice. She needed oxygen and had a pulse of 130, cough, difficulty breathing and fever.
FOLLOW-UP
The family reported some improvement in fever, breathing, urination and back discomfort while the patient was receiving oxygen and other treatment. Weakness and blood-streaked sputum also appear in the chats. The original collage mixes pulse and blood-pressure labels; those figures should be checked before use as a clinical trend.

Hello. Since my mother started the Chinese medicine, she has been coughing up a lot of phlegm. Is that normal? What should we do?
That is normal. It is a detox reaction and a good sign.
Have her lie on her side to avoid choking on the phlegm. Pay attention to this at night too.
Understood.
Patient / family update
Can we use a manual suction device?
Yes.

Hello, doctor. The amount is small. After the first dose, she has been sleeping and seems quite settled, quiet and comfortable. Thank you. If it really helps, I am very grateful.

Yes. She stays in bed every day and cannot walk. Is that normal? She has no strength and even sitting up is exhausting. She keeps lying in bed.

She usually receives infusions at home for nutrition and inflammation. Is there any conflict with the Chinese medicine?

On oxygen · pulse reported as 104
This is her blood pressure now.
What should we do?
Her heart rate has come down a little.
It was 130 yesterday.
She is very weak. What can she take for low blood counts? Can she have fish soup?
The prescription already addresses this. Once things are stable, we can consider extra treatment if it is still low. For now, add eggs, meat and red dates to her meals.

This is my mother's blood pressure today.
She is still very tired. Her legs ache and feel weak, and she cannot stand on her own. How can this be relieved?
12 Jun 14:47
I asked the director. It is best not to take this, because the Chinese medicine promotes circulation and has a similar effect.
