With my father's condition now, is there still time?
I trust you.
If measures are taken promptly, it is still within a range we can try to control. The aim of the medicine is to control the cancer's development and spread, then soften and reduce the existing lesions.
As I mentioned, the director will assess your father's condition after seeing him. We will prescribe only if we feel we can help; otherwise we will suggest a better treatment option.
Are my father's tumors smaller than those in the examples above?
As long as there is even a 1% chance, we will make every effort.
Please speak with the doctor as soon as you can.
Explain his situation. If measures can be taken, please take them.

Director Yang said today to have the injection every other day.
Try not to put so much pressure on yourself. Let the doctors manage the illness and cooperate with treatment.

Yes.

It is okay. As you said, you are like a distant older sister to me. I do not want this to leave you worried and burdened. Tell me whenever something is unclear, and try not to overthink it.
Okay, I understand.
Mr Liu, by tonight it will have been four days of medicine. He is a little better than at the start, but still feels very weak.
Okay, keep taking the medicine. Recovery will come gradually, day by day.
Treatment takes time. Just as we eat one mouthful at a time, we need to take this step by step.
Yes. After the first dose that evening, he was clearly a little better the next morning.
Okay. We will keep going.
Okay.
Thank you.
You are welcome.

Yes. If you stew it for him, you can cook it a little longer.
If you make chicken stew, use a mature hen.
Okay, thank you. Understood.
You are welcome.
I feel he is a little better.
That is good.
Keep going. I hope things keep getting better.
Yes, he has started walking, in small steps.
Yes.
That is good.
Hearing that reassures us too.
Thank you. I have always believed he will get better.
Yes, hold on to that belief.
