赴美就医：丹娜法伯癌症研究院癌症患者的新希望

在外人看来，叶女士是典型的成功女性，是很多人羡慕的对象。叶女士及其老公常年生活在中国富有活力城市深圳，她的儿子就读于美国顶级大学，家庭生活幸福美满。平时，叶女士喜欢驾车旅行，经常约上三五好友浏览大好山河。麻省医疗国际海外医疗主管Sam说“叶女士是我见过幸福随和的人”。但常人不知的是，叶女士是肺癌患者。

一个多月前，叶女士一家抵达美国，他们夫妻把儿子送往西雅图就读的大学后，随即前往波士顿寻求肺癌的诊疗方法。受益于麻省医疗国际专业的咨询指导，叶女士早在国内就搜集齐全出国看病所需的必备资料，诸如中国医院做的诊断报告、病理切片、CT扫描等。

飞机抵达波士顿后，麻省医疗国际安排接机事宜，帮助叶女士夫妇顺利到达波士顿哈佛大道1号。癌症患者需要补充身体所需的营养，麻省医疗国际美国员工特意为叶女士准备了热牛奶、点心。随后与麻省医疗国际美国医生进行了病例谈论。叶女士之前在中国接受了药物治疗，此次来到美国是希望寻求专业、先进的诊疗建议。

在对叶女士提交的资料进行详细讨论后，麻省医疗国际的医生团队出台了精准的医疗报告。在得到叶女士肯定后，麻省医疗国际帮助叶女士成功预约丹娜法伯癌症研究院的专家，整个流程在3天内完成。

有出国看病经验的患者都清楚，预约哈佛医学院八大教学附属医院并不容易，难度并不亚于国内挂知名医院专家号。而麻省医疗国际能够快速地取得预约，也显示出麻省医疗国际团队不论在中国还是美国，都能高效、专业的帮助患者。

经过6个礼拜的精准治疗，在丹娜法伯癌症研究院的医疗专家会诊及治疗下，与一个半月前初到美国相比，叶女士身上的肿瘤缩小了50%。而此时，丹娜法伯癌症研究院主治医师告诉叶女士可以返回中国。

可以说，叶女士赴美就医可谓成功，既得益于丹娜法伯癌症研究院高超的医术、先进的诊疗方案、新肺癌药物，也和叶女士积极诊疗、乐观的态度有着密切的关系。叶女士深信开朗乐观的心态，能够帮助她战胜癌症。

叶女士说，“我从来都没有抱怨过，从来没有被我的疾病所打败。我不责怪任何人，只要过的快乐，这就足够了。”她对待生命的态度鼓舞人心，“许多人生病了，想的太多。我的想法很简单：战胜它，继续前行。”

Sam问叶女士“是否想要医院新的医疗报告？”叶女士初的反应是不想要这些报告。她相信这个报告会提醒她的过去，阻碍她的恢复。终麻省医疗国际将这份丹娜法伯癌症研究院做出的病历报告交给叶女士的丈夫，Sam叮嘱她丈夫要更细心地帮助叶女士，监督守护叶女士的健康。

在丹娜法伯癌症研究院治疗6周后，叶女士夫妇终于可以回家。在启程回国之际，Sam等麻省医疗国际员工为叶女士夫妇践行。相处一个半月，叶女士和麻省医疗国际员工建立了深厚的情谊，集团同事都为这个有韧劲、不动摇、不屈服、乐观积极面对癌症的女士充满敬意。临别之际，麻省医疗国际向叶女士病情的康复表示祝贺，在抗癌的道路上我们会一路相伴！

New Hope for a Cancer Survivor

Miss Ye has what seems to be a normal life for a successful, modern day woman. She lives and works in Shenzhen with her husband. Her son attends university at a top school in the US. Miss Ye likes to drive fast cars, and travel with her friends. She is one of the happiest and easygoing people that I have ever met. Miss Ye has lung cancer.

Following her free and easygoing spirit, Miss Ye and her husband set out from Seattle after dropping their son off at school. Armed with a diagnosis from their doctors in China, their medical records, pathology slides, and CT scans, they flew into Boston with only the legend of exceptional medical care carrying them along.

Upon arrival, the pair found their way into my office at 1 Harvard St. We greeted them with a cup of hot water and a smile as we began to discuss their situation. Miss Ye had been given medication by her doctors in China, and wanted to get a professional opinion from our knowledgeable doctors in Boston.

After accepting our services and presenting the necessary materials, we were able to translate their medical records and secure Miss Ye an appointment at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute within two days of becoming our client. The appointment was made within a week of their arrival in Boston.

For most of our patients, these appointments are made well in advance, before they come to the US. This shows how our experience team, whether in the US or in China, can deliver results under pressure.

After staying here for six weeks, receiving treatment, and consulting with her doctors, Miss Ye was told to return to China. Her tumor has shrunk by 50%.

After talking with her about her success, Miss Ye credits the recovery not to medicine, doctors, or advanced treatment plans. Miss Ye believes her positive attitude is what helped her heal.

She said, “I never complained. I never got down on myself for getting sick. There is no one to blame. I am focused on surviving, and living a fun filled life. That’s all.” Her outlook on life is inspiring, “Lots of people get sick and think too much. My thinking is simple: conquer this and move on.”

I asked her if she wanted us to obtain her updated medical records from the hospitals. Her initial reaction was to tell me she didn’t want them. Her belief is to finish with something and be done with it. She believed the records would remind her of the past and impede her recovery, so we are sending the records to her husband for safe keeping.

This benevolent woman came with two leather suitcases, and she is going home in the same fashion. Resilient, steadfast, and unbroken, Miss Ye is a testament to the power of positivity in the fight against cancer, and dear friend of our company. Thank you, Miss Ye! And congratulations on your recovery!
