How terrible is cancer? It has always been common to talk about cancer, and in everyone's impression, or conception, cancer cannot be cured, and having cancer is tantamount to death. When we hear this, of course, we are scared of cancer. As a matter of fact, cancer is really "scary", but if you think about it carefully, what is so scary about cancer? If you have cancer, do you really have to wait for death?

In fact, it is not. People are afraid of something either out of "ignorance", an imagined or hearsay fear, or out of knowing too much about it, knowing what is really scary about it.

Insofar as cancer is concerned, you can actually say that it is terrible, or you can also say that it is not that terrible. I say it is terrible because many people who have cancer really cannot be cured, and they can only extend their survival time to a limited extent, and some of them cannot even extend their time, and their survival time is very short. All diseases that can threaten life are of course terrible. However, we should not forget that cancer is not a disease, but a large group of diseases. Cancer includes many, many kinds of cancers, and different cancers are different, and they cannot all be grouped together, just as you cannot describe people in a certain place as good people or bad people, and there are certainly both good people and bad people in any place, while the same bad people are also bad people, with different degrees of badness, and the consequences of the harm they cause to society are not the same. The same is true of cancer, which is also true of cancer, which is also true of cancer, which is also true of cancer, which is also true of cancer, which is also true of cancer.

Most early cancers have a high cure rate, that is to say, most cancers can be cured if they are detected early and diagnosed in a timely and standardized manner, then of course they are not so terrible. However, the crux of the problem is that many people's cancers are found in advanced stages and have no chance of cure. Of course, there are some cancers that still have a chance to be cured even in advanced stages, but there are not many of them.

It can be seen that cancer is scary because, firstly, it is difficult to detect it at an early stage; secondly, not all early-stage cancers can be cured, and some of them may recur; and thirdly, most late-stage cancers are difficult to be cured. Therefore, in order to make cancer less scary, what we have to do is: 1) to find cancer as early as possible, on the one hand, it is possible to prevent it, and it is certainly the best to avoid not having cancer, but at present, we can only reduce the risk in a limited way; 2) to take the initiative to screen; 3) to consult the doctor in time when symptoms appear and not to delay it; 2) to pay attention to the follow up and review of the early stage cancers after the end of the treatment in order to find out the possible recurrence in time, and to strive for a second chance of cure; what's more, we should go to change the bad lifestyle and dietary habits, stay away from cancer-causing factors, and reduce the risk of recurrence and second cancer risk.3. For advanced cancers, according to the specific situation, standardized comprehensive treatment should be carried out, and strive for long-term survival with tumor as far as possible. Of course, for advanced cancer, the most important thing is to keep developing new treatment means, but this can not be done overnight.

According to statistics, the incidence of cancer in China is now nine times higher than that before the reform and opening up. It is an indisputable fact that there are more and more cancer patients. This is related to the present work, accelerated pace of life, increasing pressure, food safety, personal habits and so on.

I remember when I was a kid, tomatoes were a dime a dozen, not only were they cheap but they tasted great. Natural ripe tomatoes should be red and green, put a few days on the red, and now the tomatoes are all red and very hard, no tomatoes should be the natural flavor, some of the smell there is a very strong pesticide flavor. Now the injection of chicken, pig injection, fish and shrimp artificial breeding fed antibiotics, growth factor, even the supermarket bread you see it above the addition of how many things? It can be said that we now eat a few things are not using pesticides, fertilizers, food additives, I am afraid that very few.

More than ten years ago, the unit of the chef Lao Zhao found his neck up a big lump, feel bad, go to the hospital and found to be lung cancer, and has been metastasized. Lao Zhao is in his early fifties, a good cook, usually love to smoke, but also love to drink, due to the relationship between the occupation of the fumes naturally also not less inhaled. Although the unit has been working for many years, but has always been a temporary worker, the unit has not given Lao Zhao on the three insurance. Lao Zhao is a rural Sichuan, usually earn money are sent to the family, the hands of natural money to cope with such a big disease, so Lao Zhao simply do not see a doctor, after returning to his hometown to eat, the smoke on the smoke, the drink is still drinking. A year later, Lao Zhao left.

My own uncle that year found out lung cancer, because the location of the lesion can not do surgery so can only save the hand treatment, because the uncle's children are good, so the family is not bad money. It can be said that the major hospitals in Beijing have seen once, and finally went to the United States, Germany, Japan to find a good hospital, find a good doctor have seen, but a year head uncle or gone.

Cancer is indeed terrible, can be said to be a Hades told you to die three nights, which dare to stay until the fifth night of the lack of morality disease. So I try not to eat out, usually do not mess with food, diet control, calm mind, regular life, try to create a good external environment for their bodies! Is it possible to stay away from cancer a little bit?

From the doctor's point of view, I now remember the moment I got the pathology report three years ago, I was shocked and disheartened, because I am a doctor, I have spent my whole life to save lives, but I never thought that I would become a patient in the end, and it is the cancer that everyone is afraid of.

Being a doctor for 34 years, the work was actually overloaded until February '16, when I actually felt something was wrong since the New Year:

Weakness of the limbs, always feel dizzy, weight loss of 8 pounds a month, anemia, abnormal leukorrhea, and occasionally blood, odor, stomach pain every afternoon, the more I think about it, the more wrong, I did not think of malignant tumors, and thought it was inflammation of the body.

So hurry to find gynecology colleague said, colleagues change the usual cheeky state, let me hurry to do a hpv, tct biopsy, and finally added a colposcopy, the results came out that time, has been in a more nervous state, and even have made the worst intentions.

The final pathology report came down on March 12, stage 2b cervical squamous carcinoma, highly differentiated. Instead of seeing the report, I was relieved, it's quite serious but at least there's salvation.

Because my son was working in Beijing, he took me to the hospital for treatment, and I was busy registering at the end of April and on May 1. I started treatment on June 14, and the doctors here gave me a plan to start radiotherapy after the tumor was pre-treated.

Radiation is done 5 days a week and chemo is done one day a week.

6 times of chemotherapy, did not use paclitaxel, used cisplatin. Cisplatin, although not much hair loss, but the damage to the stomach and intestines, myelosuppression began, nausea and vomiting, can not eat, the value of white blood cells rub down, vomiting the most serious time, the whole person feels like floating up, and even brushing their teeth have no energy, but fortunately only lasted for three or four days, I began to be able to drink some meat porridge, in the meat porridge and the role of the ascending white blood injection, the physique is slowly getting better.

Compared to having radiation therapy, there was much less discomfort. Then late in the treatment a lymphatic clearance was done to prevent lymphatic metastasis, and the leg was swollen for a while.

The whole treatment process lasted two months, and after two months he was discharged from the hospital and went back to his unit for early retirement.

About the review, at the beginning of the six months once a month review, after six months every three months review, because they themselves are doctors, usually know how to regulate, now three years, the recovery is also very good.

Then I started to think hard about why I contracted the HPV virus and ended up with cervical cancer, and after whittling down my past, I actually found out how undisciplined I was.

At the end of the 1980s, when China's family planning policy was at its most stringent, there were many women who came to our hospital every day to have birth control surgery, especially those who had official state jobs at that time, and it was so tightly packed that we couldn't get in line for our own.

Then I had no choice but to go to a classmate who ran a clinic out there and was a reassuring person, so I went to her place to have it done, and it turned out that there was most likely something wrong with that birth control ring. And I never knew.

Having said that, what am I trying to say?

1. Now that the age of HPV infection is getting younger and more common, girls who are not sexually active are strongly advised to get the cervical cancer vaccine, but of course with sex, you can get it too.

2. If your body suddenly develops anemia, weakness of the limbs, sudden wasting, and it continues for a period of time and doesn't go away, go to the hospital for a checkup.

3. Treatment of wounds and so on must go to the hospital, small clinics disinfection and sanitation facilities are not really comparable to hospitals.

4. If you are really unfortunate enough to suffer from cancer, put your emotions aside and think carefully about the worst possible outcome. If you can accept the worst possible outcome, then you can accept the worst possible outcome, and a less bad outcome will make you more optimistic and more conducive to treatment.

Two years ago, I had been in good health, every time I had a medical checkup, not a single upper or lower clipped head on my blood test, which was always a point of pride for me! Once, because of some stabbing pains in my chest, I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor told me that I had cancer! What is cancer? Only know that cancer is fatal, many people get it and die, and this cancer only exists in other people's mouths, exists in other people's bodies, and now it is in me, at that time, I was a little bit confused, did not cry in pain, did not hissing, walked out of the hospital, the mind is blank, sitting by the corner of the hospital wall, stayed a whole hour, that day's ☀️ really stinging! After that I began treatment, surgery, treatment, to later recovery, I did not feel the terrible cancer!

What is really horrible is the death of my uncle! My uncle was not admitted to the hospital for cancer checkups in the beginning, because he just felt a bit wheezy and had a bit of pain in his abdomen, and he couldn't find out the cause of the disease five times and three times, and finally found out the cause of the disease through several biopsies, and by this time, the old man had already lost a lot of weight, and was in so much pain that he couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and couldn't stop the pain from the medicine that the doctor gave to him for the whole day and the whole night! This is what others call cancer pain, right? Everyone who visited the old man shed tears, but there was nothing they could do! It is only at this moment that I realize that medicine is constantly developing, but in front of cancer, there is also too much helplessness! Even if we have more money, we can't stop the progression of uncle's disease, we can only attribute it to fate!

And it was at this point that I really realized why everyone is afraid of cancer? Because until now, medicine has not conquered it and it will devour every part of your body like a demon 👿! I sometimes wonder, am I going to experience such a cruel cancer pain? Don't want to think about it, don't dare to think about it, just live each day!

Very scary, can destroy decades of a family's happiness, you name it!

The first thing is that you have to have money, and money is important, otherwise the hospital is not the Red Cross.

Secondly, you have to withstand the mental stress of the word cancer. Talking about cancer means just that. Everyone is afraid of fear panic. You have to have a strong heart construction, can do not fear, brave face, look down everything, positive treatment, with optimism to fight cancer. But it's easier said than done.

Once again, family members have to have a strong heart to withstand the pain of their loved ones suffering from cancer, but also pretend to be happy to comfort their loved ones suffering from cancer, in fact, the heart is very painful, will make you often cry quietly, do not dare to make a sound, the whole body trembling, afraid of their loved ones to leave.

Finally ，，，， finally, loved ones if they really did not survive the last nine hundred and ninety-one difficulties, cancer family members may have a hint of "relief" feeling at the last moment, finally do not have to suffer, finally do not have to live without self-esteem, you are finally relieved. Even the death has not yet known that the family members are sick so sad grief helpless shivering numbness fear sad sad eyes can cry blind, and even hate the world is unfair. After a week you will be very very very very miss your loved ones, very very, will not fade with the passage of time, only more and more regret at the beginning, more and more feel that if you are still there how good, after a five or six years, look back, time is so fast, feel only gone a year or two, but still miss you so much, if you are still there how good, or will fantasize. This is a feeling that no one else can experience, including your spouse. When you lose a loved one, the whole family changes, a lot, and everyone is trying to live, just trying to live well, to live this life right. But everything changes, and we can only change with the changes.

It's as scary as you want it to be! Today, when mankind has not conquered the super killer that is cancer, cancer basically means death. Almost everyone is able to say that someone died young because of cancer, which is saddening while praying for a life of peace and happiness.

I am surrounded by living examples of this by my long-time coworkers. I was once the mother of two young children in my department, one of whom was the chief accountant of the organization, and the other was a manager. As the unit conducts annual medical checkups for all staff, after all the checkups are completed, the results of each person's checkup will be returned in a few days. If a certain person is notified for a review, it means that there may be a problem with the checkup, and two of them in my unit, the two mothers of the children mentioned above, were notified to go to the hospital for a review. In fact, all people do not want to be notified for a review after each medical check-up. Before the medical check-up results are released, everyone is very apprehensive, fearing that something may have gone wrong. Later, I learned that two mothers of children in my department were found to have breast cancer and brain tumor respectively, or malignant tumors. We were all very shocked at the time, so young, both in their thirties. More than ten years have passed, but I still remember their faces and faces very clearly, and when I think of them, my heart is incredibly heavy.

Cancer is simply terrible. How I hope that mankind can quickly conquer cancer, the natural enemy of mankind. Happily, so far, mankind has made gratifying achievements in the battle against cancer, but it is only the first step in the long march. I believe that in the end, mankind will definitely overcome cancer, so that human society can be further developed and people's lives will be happier and more fulfilling!

My uncle was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer at the end of 17 years, the whole family couldn't believe it at that time, my uncle is the only college student of the same generation in the family teaching in the city, and he is usually a particularly self-disciplined person, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't stay up late, but I don't know why he would suffer from cancer. At the beginning of no chemotherapy choose to eat targeted drugs, until 19 years are controlled pretty well, but 19 years in May my grandmother and found lung cancer, also advanced, grandmother more than seventy years old body can not withstand the side effects of chemotherapy, can only be conservative treatment of the whole family collapsed. My eldest brother was also worried about it, and his condition deteriorated drastically after that, and he began to do radiotherapy, but in early 20 years, he ran into an epidemic and couldn't get into the hospital, so his condition worsened again. 20 years later, my grandmother and my eldest brother both left us one after another. A family suddenly appeared two patients, and both of them are advanced cancer, watching the good people gradually lose weight and no one can do anything about it, on the one hand, do not want their loved ones to leave, on the other hand, but also driving their pain and suffering in the appearance of the heart is dripping blood, and that kind of heart-breaking feeling is really unforgettable forever. Therefore, my biggest wish now is that my family is healthy and safe, and I hope that the medical profession can solve the cancer problem as soon as possible.

I'm only in my 30s, I've always been in good health, colds and fevers are rare, but this year I found a lump in my neck, I went to the hospital to take an ultrasound, and there might be a possibility of cancer. He went to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and did a series of tests, including blood test, ultrasound, biopsy, mr, and pet_ct. Finally, he was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma with liver metastasis. Cancer is not scary, I am not afraid to die, not just close my eyes? What I am afraid of is the sadness of the people around me, and the sadness of the people around me. I also have a few months old daughter, who just got married this year, and I am afraid of what to do with their lives after I leave, and what to do with my elderly parents. Cancer is a fact, the doctor said one-third of the patients are scared to death, for all the people around you who care about you must be brave to face, and actively go to treatment. For me, I am not afraid of it, and will definitely fight against cancer to the end, maybe one day I even beat it completely.

Thanks for the invite.

how to face cancer properly.

Cancer is a collective term for all malignant tumors. Due to the unrestricted and endless proliferation of cancer cells and the fact that cancer cells can metastasize to grow and multiply all over the body, the cure rate of cancer has not been high. Under the influence of traditional concepts, family members and doctors always conceal the condition of the patients in good faith, describing the malignant as benign and the advanced stage as early stage, which gives the patients a short-term psychological comfort, but has laid serious hidden dangers for the treatment and recovery of cancer. So, for patients who are unfortunate enough to suffer from cancer, how should they face cancer correctly? Patient's attitude: Cooperate and remain optimistic to face the threat of cancer, encourage patients to fight against cancer with a positive mindset, cooperate with doctors, believe in science, and maintain an optimistic mindset, which is the most effective way to fight against cancer. 1、Positive treatment, cooperation with doctors There are many cancer patients who think that medical treatment is the doctor's business, and they just need to give themselves to the doctor. Therefore, these patients just listen to the doctor's request and never take the initiative to recognize their condition and understand some necessary medical knowledge. This is a very wrong point of view. Experts suggest: as a cancer patient, in order to achieve the ideal therapeutic purpose, the patient must cooperate with the doctor in the treatment, take the initiative to understand some side effects of the treatment and be prepared for them, so that they can be more relaxed when encountering these problems and let themselves be an understanding patient. 2, looking for patients, get more help in the hospitalization period, more in the same ward patients exchange and communication, in the treatment process, common ideas, which is a help to themselves, to others is a dedication. Don't stay in the ward alone and mope around, this is not good for treatment and recovery. Experts suggest that cancer patients are like comrades in arms, so that cancer patients can encourage and support each other, exchange ideas on treatment and recovery, which will play an unexpected role in overcoming cancer. Second, cancer patients' misunderstanding once suffering from cancer, most of the patients will be messed up. There are still some patients who do not believe in science when they suffer from cancer, but listen to folk remedies instead, and as a result, the more they are treated, the heavier they become. Some patients think that cancer is equal to betraying the death penalty, and they are waiting for death even after entering big hospitals. Instead of spending money in big hospitals to fall into a person's wealth, it is better to find folk remedies to try, can cure that is a great life, the cure can not die without regrets. Expert advice: partial prescription refers to the flavor of the medicine is not much, on some diseases with unique therapeutic effect of the prescription. Partial and positive relative, partial prescription is generally not formal medicine or medical books contained, and sometimes even make the treatment to achieve the opposite effect. Therefore, it is not desirable to rely on prescription alone to treat cancer, especially for the so-called "panacea specializing in cancer treatment" should be more alert, so as not to spend money and miss the time of treatment! 2、Fear of chemotherapy, refusal of chemotherapy chemotherapy is currently one of the main means of treatment of tumors and certain autoimmune diseases, but in the treatment, patients generally have obvious nausea and vomiting and other side effects, which bring discomfort to patients. In fact, in recent years, chemotherapeutic drugs have been constantly introduced, which not only have high therapeutic efficacy, but also have significantly reduced toxic side effects. Therefore, the previous "stereotype" of the role of radiotherapy should be changed. Experts' suggestion: chemotherapy is a kind of treatment that uses chemical drugs to kill tumor cells, inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells, and promote the differentiation of tumor cells, and it is a systemic treatment for primary foci, metastatic foci and subclinical metastatic foci. In the clinic, the majority of patients can successfully complete the whole process of chemotherapy. 3, heavy surgery, light rehabilitation there are many patients in the surgery after discharge, that after discharge, everything is fine. In fact, having the opportunity to receive surgical treatment indicates that the tumor is still in the early or middle stage. After surgery, there is still a long way for patients to recover. For example, they have to receive postoperative chemotherapy, adjuvant radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and so on, and the role of these treatments is no less than that of surgery. Experts suggest that after surgery, the later auxiliary treatment and drug treatment are equally important. In the clinic, it is common to see some cancer patients belittling the post-surgery rehabilitation treatment, so that the tumor recurrence or metastasis occurs, which is a pity to people. Cancer is not scary, and most cancers can be cured if you set up a correct mindset to fight cancer. When you are unfortunate enough to suffer from cancer, you must correctly recognize your own condition, set up confidence in fighting cancer, and actively participate in the treatment process of cancer with a calm mind, so as to be responsible for your own life.

The scary thing about cancer is that it's hard to treat. Cancer is hard to treat, and what's so hard about it?50% of the population misunderstands!

Is cancer hard to cure? Faced with an average of more than 10,000 people being diagnosed with cancer every day and 7.5 people being diagnosed every minute, everyone would answer that it's hard to cure. But why is cancer hard to treat, you ask? Do you know? The following points are the root cause of cancer being hard to cure!

I. Endogenous etiology

Cancer cells come from the patient's own "abnormal" cell division, but the abnormal cells are still part of the patient's body. It cannot be recognized by the immune system. Antibiotics are very effective in treating "exogenous diseases", such as bacterial pneumonia. Why are antibiotics good? Because they are toxic only to bacteria, and because human cells, unlike bacteria, do not suffer much damage, antibiotics can be used in very high concentrations to kill all bacteria with little effect on the patient. Although the endogenous lung cancer cells are "wrong" human cells, because they are all human cells with the same characteristics, when chemotherapy drugs enter the body to kill, it is difficult to distinguish between "abnormal" cells and "normal" cells. When chemotherapy drugs enter the body to kill, it is difficult to distinguish between "abnormal" cells and "normal" cells, and it is often the case that "killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred of your own", which is the "side effects" that we often hear.

II. Gene Multiple Specificity

Cancer is not a single disease, but a combination of thousands and thousands of diseases. There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and there are no two cancers in the world that are exactly the same. Cancer is caused by genetic mutations, and a recent study of systematic gene sequencing has shown that the average number of mutations in lung cancer patients is close to 5,000 per person! Each person has a different combination of mutations, and each patient's genes are specific. The nearly 600,000 lung cancer patients in China are actually more like 600,000 different diseases. Among the many mutation points, it is possible to develop more effective drugs by capturing a few key genes, but in the face of so many mutations, drug companies are almost doomed to develop drugs for very few patients at a time, and progress is slow.

III. Rapid development of resistance

You've probably heard of superbugs; before the advent of antibiotics, Staphylococcus aureus infections were fatal and it could cause sepsis. But after humans discovered penicillin, Staphylococcus aureus became less scary. However, organisms are constantly evolving, and medical doctors find drugs to fight cancer, but when the pathogen has been in contact with the drug for many times, the sensitivity to the drug decreases or even disappears, resulting in a decrease in the efficacy or ineffectiveness of the drug against the pathogen. Tumor cells develop drug resistance, which is the most important cause of chemotherapy failure and patient death.

In the face of cancer, there are some complementary treatments we can do ourselves, such as micro-ecological treatment, if you want to know more, please feel free to write to us privately.
