[Purpose of Visit]: Postoperative rehabilitation and psychological counseling
[Treatment Outcome]: After undergoing surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and endocrine therapy, I suffered physically and experienced periods of depression and anxiety. Through the assistance of the Psychosocial Palliative Care Nursing Team, I have regained my confidence in life.
[Attitude Evaluation]: I would like to express my gratitude to Head Nurse Huang Wei from the Third Ward of Minimally Invasive Interventional Radiology. She was a beacon of hope for me. During my first psychological consultation, she spent two and a half hours patiently listening to my distress. Her professionalism and compassion provided the warmth of a family member and supported me through this difficult journey of fighting cancer.

[Condition]: Pulmonary nodules
[Purpose of Visit]: Follow-up and monitoring
[Treatment Outcome]: Visited the hospital in early 2025 for follow-up on a nodule in the upper left lung. After comparing with previous imaging, the physician provided clear recommendations for follow-up care.
[Review of Care]: Professor Yang Haoxian was highly professional and provided clear medical instructions. He recommended a follow-up lung examination in three months and gave detailed guidance on precautions for diagnostic imaging while planning for pregnancy (specifically advising against CT scans). As a patient, I felt reassured and no longer experienced unnecessary anxiety.

[Disease Name]: Breast Cancer
[Patient Experience]: A breast nodule was detected during a physical examination in late September, and a biopsy was recommended at a local hospital. I subsequently visited Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center for a definitive diagnosis by Director Liu Peng, who recommended surgical resection. The procedure went smoothly; the incision was small and the sutures were neatly performed. Director Liu was consistently encouraging and approachable during ward rounds. I am currently undergoing follow-up treatment and remain confident in my recovery.

[Disease Name]: Gastric Cancer
[Patient Experience]: Gastric cancer with obstruction; the condition was complex. Professor Qiu first arranged preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The results were significant: the obstructive symptoms were relieved, and the tumor size decreased, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent surgery. Professor Qiu was very thorough during ward rounds and patiently answered all questions from the family. I feel very fortunate to have met such a responsible physician. My sincere thanks to Professor Qiu.

[Disease Name]: Papillary thyroid carcinoma
[Purpose of Visit]: Surgical treatment
[Treatment Outcome]: Average outcome; primarily extremely dissatisfied with the service.
[Evaluation of Attitude]: From the moment of admission, the service attitude of all staff was very poor, and they failed to address practical concerns. Once payment was received, there was a complete lack of concern for the patient's welfare. Following surgery, there was an apparent rush to discharge patients, and no support was provided for post-operative complications. The management and workflows are disorganized. I strongly advise against seeking treatment at this facility.

[Condition]: Atypical uterine fibroids
[Purpose of Visit]: Interventional surgical treatment
[Treatment Outcome]: On March 18, 2021, Professor Wu Peihong performed a vascular embolization procedure. The fibroid measured nearly 9 cm prior to the surgery. An ultrasound examination two weeks post-operation revealed significant shrinkage, exceeding expectations; even the sonographer was surprised. The procedure was highly successful.
[Patient Experience]: During the procedure, Professor Wu was patient and thorough, inquiring about my physical sensations and well-being. His professional demeanor helped alleviate my anxiety. Dr. Wu is highly skilled and has a gentle approach. I feel fortunate to have been able to secure an appointment with him.
