(Inset) Almana Veles, wife of Yury, shakes hands with the doctor after the surgery in this file photo. Yury Veles had a prostate tumor successfully removed at the hospital. The tumor had been diagnosed five years ago. He was discharged from hospital yesterday and will stay in Shenzhen for about another month for observation.
He was so excited because we had given up hope after doctors in Russia told us it was impossible to cure at his age. It was a brilliant decision to come and seek treatment with Chinese traditional medicine. When he could go to the toilet normally the day after the surgery, he cried and kept telling doctors it was a miracle, said Maria Rose, Veles granddaughter. Wei Jiancheng
