Ms. Y, who is in her early thirties this year, was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Ms. Y was repeatedly told by the hospital that she was critically ill and was wandering in the "gate of hell" several times. Fortunately, my family and medical staff are unstoppable and work together to fight the disease and bring vitality to Ms. Y.
Happy little family, suddenly suffered bad luck
2021, Ms. Y was pregnant with her second child. Half a year after pregnancy, he developed cough, white phlegm and bloodshot wounds, and the hospital diagnosed it as suspected of a fungal infection. Because Ms. Y was in pregnancy, she was unable to undergo imaging examinations such as CT, and failed to find out whether there were other lesions.
In March 2022, Ms. Y successfully produced it. In May, he visited the doctor for continuous cough and pain, and found that malignant lung tumors and secondary multiple diffuse tumors in the liver area. In order to clarify the nature of the lesion, Ms. Y performed vital tissue puncture and pathological examination of the liver and was diagnosed as lymphoepitheliomatoid carcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma, which is a relatively rare malignant tumor.
Unexpectedly, the tumor progressed extremely quickly. Within a month, Ms. Y's physical symptoms were getting worse: her urine volume decreased rapidly in 24 hours, her legs were swollen, and her abdomen was swollen like a rubber ball; her chest cavity was also like a large bottle filled with water, causing difficulty in breathing; and the pain continued, she could not lie down and could not fall asleep. At that time, Ms. Y was already in a drowsy state and felt that she could not bear it anymore.
Based on the accelerated examination results of liver failure, the hospital even issued critical illness notice . Ms. Y's husband, Mr. Z, still clearly remembered that the doctor said, "There is no conditions for anti-tumor treatment." "It may not last a month, call all other family members."
The unwilling husband sent his wife's examination report to several hospitals, but they were told that due to liver failure, there is no opportunity for anti-tumor treatment, and anti-cancer treatment is not recommended.
carefully treated to control tumor progression
In late June, the family found Guangzhou Taihe Cancer Hospital to seek more active treatment. After Ms.
Y was admitted to the hospital, the doctor improved the relevant examinations for her. The results showed that liver failure accelerated, abnormal inflammation indicators, and the level of tumor marker in the blood rose rapidly. This shocked Dr. Liu Huixia and Wang Ye, chief physicians of the Department of Oncology: "Ms. Y's liver area is full of lesions, and there is almost no intact liver tissue, and it may not last for a month." A few days after being admitted to the hospital, Ms. Y was transferred to the intensive care unit for various symptoms such as "acute heart failure, breathing failure, large amounts of ascites, and anuria", for treatments such as anti-infection, heart strengthening, and liver protection.
To clarify the next treatment plan, Director Kang Shijun, the leader of the Department of Oncology Medicine at Guangzhou Taihe Cancer Hospital, organized a multidisciplinary consultation. After full evaluation, experts believe that the patient is in serious condition and the tumor progresses quickly. However, if anti-tumor treatment is performed, there is still a certain chance of controlling the progression of the tumor. In combination with the family's strong desire for anti-tumor treatment, Ms. Y formulated a personalized plan and gave chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for .
The lesion changes before and after treatment
Fortunately, the treatment plan worked. After going through hardships, Ms. Y finally survived the first chemotherapy treatment. The examination results showed that the ascites gradually decreased until they disappeared, liver tumors shrank, liver volume retraction, liver function index aspartate aminotransferase decreased significantly from a high value of more than 1,000, and heart failure index also declined.
Under the careful care of family and medical staff, Ms. Y has completed 4 courses of chemotherapy, and her physical and mental state has improved greatly. She has gained weight and improved appetite. She can also take her children downstairs for a walk like an ordinary person and do simple housework.
