Is He Curable?

"What nonsense are you spouting?! We're family, so why are you thanking me? By the way, if we can't produce such a thin needle, is he still... curable?"

"Currently, I can only delay the outbreak of his illness. I can't effectively put his condition under control, limit the growth of cancer cells, or eliminate cancer cells."

"Then…"

"But I'll come up with something. He only has mid-stage cancer, and he'll have at least three months to half a year before it reaches late-stage cancer. Through acupuncture, it can be delayed until a year later. The rest will depend on whether I can make a breakthrough in my medical proficiency after a year. If not, he can only go for surgery and chemotherapy after a year, but it still won't be effective."
