庄先生右侧：脉象左侧寸关部弦数且不安定，右侧寸关部濡滑而数；舌苔剥落呈绛色。乳岩（乳腺癌）肿块坚硬已久，阴液亏损难以恢复，肝阳旺盛容易上亢。血液不能滋养筋脉，营卫之气运行不畅，因此睡醒后全身酸痛，腰腿部尤为严重。连续投用滋阴柔肝、清热安神的方剂，尚觉合适，仍遵循原意进行加减调整。

二诊：脉象尺部细弱，寸关部弦细而数；舌质红绛；遍体酸痛，腰膝尤其严重；食欲减退，口干但不想多饮水；大便干燥结滞，小便淡黄；乳岩依然肿硬不消。这都是由于阴液亏耗，血液不能滋养筋脉，血虚产生内热，筋受热则酸楚，经络受热则疼痛。况且肝主管全身的筋，筋无血滋养，虚阳容易浮越，腹部作胀，也是肝气横逆、热邪郁结，导致阳明经通降功能失常。想要清除经络之热，必须滋养其阴；想要柔和肝脏，必须滋养其血。使得血液充足，则经络之热自然清除，肢节疼痛也会减轻。

王女士：肝气郁结，木气不条达，挟带痰瘀凝结。乳房属胃经，乳头属肝经，肝胃两经的络脉被阻遏而不能宣通，乳部出现结块，已经延续三四个月之久，按压疼痛，恐怕形成乳岩。暂拟清解肝郁而化痰瘀，使用撤消通气饮合逍遥散进行加减。

Mr. Zhuang, Right Side: The pulse at the left Cun and Guan positions is wiry (Wiry) and rapid (Rapid), indicating unrest; the pulse at the right Cun and Guan positions is soggy (Soggy) and slippery (Slippery) with a rapid rate. The tongue coating is peeled and crimson. The breast cancer (Ru Yan, carcinoma of the breast) has been swollen and hard for a long time. Yin fluids are deficient and difficult to restore, while Liver Yang is hyperactive and prone to rising. Blood fails to nourish the sinews, and Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi fail to circulate freely. Consequently, upon waking, there is generalized body soreness and pain, particularly severe in the lower back and legs. Continuous administration of formulas that nourish Yin, soften the Liver, clear heat, and calm the spirit appears appropriate. We shall continue with the original intent, making modifications as needed.

External application: Jin Gu San (Golden Hoop Powder) and Chong He Gao (Harmonizing Paste), mixed with aged vinegar and white honey for topical application.
Second Visit: The pulse at the Chi position is fine and weak; at the Cun and Guan positions, it is wiry, fine, and rapid. The tongue body is red and crimson. Generalized body soreness and pain persist, especially in the waist and knees. Appetite is reduced. There is dry mouth but little desire to drink. Stool is dry and constipated; urine is pale yellow. The breast cancer remains swollen and hard without subsiding. This is all due to the depletion of Yin fluids, blood failing to nourish the sinews, and blood deficiency generating internal heat. Heat in the sinews causes sourness/aching; heat in the collaterals causes pain. Furthermore, the Liver governs the sinews of the whole body. Without blood nourishment, deficient Yang floats easily. Abdominal distension also results from Liver Qi stagnation and heat constraint, leading to dysfunction of the descending and diffusing actions of the Yangming channels. To clear collateral heat, one must nourish Yin; to soften the Liver, one must nourish Blood. Once blood volume is sufficient, collateral heat will naturally clear, and limb/joint pain should alleviate.

Third Visit: Generalized body soreness and pain, especially in the waist and knees. Urine is yellow, stool is constipated. Appetite is reduced, dry mouth with little desire to drink. Breast cancer remains swollen and hard. This is due to Yin fluid depletion and blood failing to nourish the sinews. Heat in sinews causes sourness; heat in collaterals causes pain. The condition is complex and mixed, making rapid recovery unlikely. Again, we propose nourishing blood and clearing collaterals.

Fourth Visit: Onset of breast cancer involves deficiency of Yin and Blood. Liver Yang transforms into Wind entering the collaterals, causing limb/joint soreness and pain. Palpitations and rebellious Qi occur, fluctuating in severity. Voice is low and not resonant. Tongue body is bare and red; coating is thin, greasy, and yellow. Pulse is wiry and rapid on the left, soggy and rapid on the right. The condition is complex and mixed; we fear exacerbation. Temporarily, we propose nourishing the Liver substance to soften Liver Wood, calming the Spirit, and resolving Phlegm-Heat.

Ms. Wang: Liver Qi stagnation leads to unsmooth flow of Wood Qi, carrying Phlegm and Blood Stasis to coagulate. The breast belongs to the Stomach channel, and the nipple belongs to the Liver channel. The collaterals of the Liver and Stomach channels are obstructed and cannot diffuse and communicate. A lump has formed in the breast, persisting for three to four months, painful upon pressure. We fear it may develop into breast cancer (Ru Yan). Temporarily, we propose clearing Liver stagnation and resolving Phlegm-Stasis, using Che Xiao Tong Qi Yin combined with Xiao Yao San, modified.
