One turn, three turns, five turns...
By the time the moxibustion reached the ninth turn, Xu Yuanyuan felt an increasing warmth, and the usual chill in her chest was greatly alleviated.
"Feel it for yourself and see if the lump has become softer," Lu Jiu said.
Softer?
Xu Yuanyuan touched the position of the lump herself, huh? It did seem less hard than before.
She confirmed this wasn't an illusion. Previously, the lump, though not as hard as a rock, was definitely like a rubber ball. Now it felt like squeezing a piece of soft candy.
"Dr. Lu, it's become softer. Is this good or bad?" Xu Yuanyuan asked.
Lu Jiu replied, "As breast cancer progresses, the lump becomes harder and larger. Eventually, it will become red, swollen, and sometimes even indented. Softening is naturally a good sign."
"But just becoming softer is not enough. We still need to find a way to expel the lump. Lie down, and I'll give you an acupuncture treatment."
