家园 【引文】自然心药 by Rachel Naomi Remen 的中文介绍

感谢非DX和山寺桃花DX,帮在下找到 Kitchen table wisdom 的中文译本: 自然心药 外链出处

在下有空会去这边的图书馆问问,看看从哪里可以借到这本书。

虽然现在还不能读到书,先贴一位台湾朋友的个人书评:

這一本書陪走過開刀住院以及術後疼痛的那一個月

記得去年夏天 就在我痛苦難當的時候

這本書總可以適時地支持我 給我心靈的安慰

作者瑞雀娜歐米是一個白髮的老奶奶

也是一個深受病症所苦、仁心仁術的醫生

最重要的是 她以自己的經驗 陪伴許多癌症病人走過生命蔭谷

再加上受人本主義心理學家的影響

使得她的療心有著無以倫比的溫柔

從她身上我學到所謂的愛的能量是怎麼一回事

它可以從最平凡的生活出發

當下深刻地觀照....

深深推薦此書給所有受苦的心靈....

还有......

作者敘述小時候,人們茶餘飯後常圍繞著廚房的餐桌講述各人的故事,既可以打發時間,同時也是一種傳遞智慧的方法,而這也是書名原文《Kitchen Table Wisdom》的由來。每個人就是一個故事,每一個故事都是親身體驗的,都是真實經歷的。我們從別人的故事所獲得的,或許是對人性的感動、或許是深層的啟示、或許是更大的智慧。

其中一篇小故事是關於傾聽的藝術,讓我們一同來學習吧!有一位病人當她向別人訴說自己的遭遇時,常遭對方打斷,對方反而開始敘述自己類似的遭遇,病人心中的痛不但不能得到舒解,還要聽別人的痛苦,久而久之,她不再向人講述自己的故事了。作者說「建立人際之間的連繫,最基本且最有效的方法,我想大概就是傾聽了」而且「光是聽就行了」。只要我們發自內心專注的、靜靜的聽對方訴說他的遭遇,對方必能感受到你對他的關懷,這樣「比任何想說的話更具治療和連繫的效果」。

家园 这个去请教医学方面的人会更清楚

查了一下,她是美国医学和心理学博士,写过不少作品,只是不知道在这个医学心理学行业里是否有固定翻译,如果单单是音译那就简单了。但是,我建议在翻译中保留英文原名。另外,你所需要的文章是哪篇呢?

加勒比超人或许会知道这个人吧?

家园 感谢前辈 ! 花. 也许中文版并不必要....

发现了一个很全的英文网站 外链出处.

Dr. Reman写了很多有意思的短文,探讨精神因素在疾病治疗中的作用。

想送给一位患病的朋友,既然不易找到中文版,先买英文版的书吧: 外链出处

外链出处

有时译文比原文差很多呢。

再谢。

家园 自然心药,Kitchen table wisdom
家园 小非侠助人为乐,花!
家园 Thank you very much for your reply. May I ask your some questions?

I just read several your articles on CCHERE, and looks like you have lots of experience in both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Could you compare them for treating invasive breast cancer? One of my best friends just found she's had aggressive breast cancer, and the tumor is too large to do operation. Now doctors have started chemo therapy on her, and it looks like she's OK in terms of side effects. Still, I want to know if there is anything can be done in traditional Chinese medicine, and what are treatment guidelines in Chinese medicine for treating BC.

If you're available, could you contact me via my personal email: [URL][email protected] [/URL]? She and I would like to read in Chinese, but my Chinese typing is terrible.

Thanks again.

家园 I am sorry to hear that . wish she would get over this

I won't recommend the TCM therapy now because there is no solid evidence that can prove the sole TCM treatment could control the BC. However, emerging researches do indicate the TCM antagonize some side effects of chemotherapies such as hematologic and gastrointestinal effects and nephrotoxicity. Some other side effects, such as the fatal allergy and the heart failure caused by paclitaxel and ADM can hardly be helped by TCM alone.

I don't know what chemo-medicine your friend has been given, but I am glad she is quite resistant to whatever side effects so far. As long as she can hold, she should stick to the chemo. Certainly, TCM could be a nice back-up when the recurrence occurs. Recurrence, unfortunately, is quite usual to most of the patients, and at this stage, the side effects are more frequently seen and are harder to be overcomed.The TCM would turn out to be the ace in the hole at that time.

One thing I also want to remind is that you need to make sure the doctor has done the chemo-therapy sensitivity test. The purpose of the test is to select the most sensitive medicine to the BC of your friend.

Be optimistic and be happy. Optimism sometimes does make the difference.

家园 Thanks again. Sorry not reply earlier

As I know, doctors treat her with AC (Adriamycin + Cytoxan) 3-week cycle, and plan to do that for 4 cycles before deciding the next treatment. I don’t think the chemo-sensitivity test has been done. I checked on-line resource and found there are debates whether in-vitro chemo-sensitivity test is helpful or not, and looks like most insurance plans won't cover that test. However, I'd push her to ask her doctors to do that kind of test.

We pray together and trust God's blessing on her.

Again, thank you very much.

家园 谢前辈. 花上.
家园 then, she is receiving CAF like chemo-option

usually,CAF also incudes 5-Fu.(CTX+ADM+5-Fu).

Of these, EPI is very similar to ADM. But it has lesser side effects

It seemed to me paclitaxel could be under her doc's consideration too.

I pesonally do believe the pretest is necessary. As far as I know, it is quite popular in china. But certainly, you need to trust her doctor. After all, I did not specialize in this field.

Best wishes

家园 不好意思,改了

我给非的回帖确实与此无关,转了。

家园 Flower. Thank you very much. I changed mine too.
家园 Thank you very much. I'll take your blessing to her.

One more question to bother you: I'm looking for the information about paclitaxel (Taxol) on pregnant women. My friend is in her 4th (5th?) month of first pregnancy. Doctor may use Taxol + Hercptin (Her/2 receptor positive) on her, depend on if AC is working or not. Looks like very few people have done that.

Any idea?

Thanks again.

家园 I am surprised

she is preganant.did her doc ask her to stop the pregnancy?

Taxolis is very commonly used. actually, it has been the first pick for the chemo of the BC

To be the honest, I don't think it is a good idea to keep her pregnancy at this time, no matter for her or for the fetus' good.

But again, please consult with her OB and the doc in charge of her chemo.

家园 Thanks for the quick reply.

What I knew is that, none of OBs, surgeons, or oncologists suggested to stop pregnancy. In fact, lots of recent studies showed that the treatment for cancer and pregnancy could be done at the same time. Also, there is no evidence that pregnancy can make BC worse. Thus, she will continue her pregnancy.

Let God help her and her baby…

Thanks again for all your help. Happy Chinese New Year to you.
