11-year-old girl fought cancer for 8 years
11 In early November, the reporter saw a video of a little girl lying on the hospital bed and crying on a Douyin short video, with a text like this:
"Eight years, from the age of three to now, it has been eight years. The doctor said that after the operation and chemotherapy this time, I have to go to Shanghai for radiotherapy to overcome the disease with you. I am not afraid, what I am afraid of is that you can't wait for the day you go to Shanghai."
(Xiao Ziyan was crying in the bed. Although she was crying, she didn't dare to speak because she was in the ward)
saw the video with the caption and couldn't help but feel sore. So the reporter turned to her homepage and saw it, nicknamed "Anti-cancer Angel". Introduction: My daughter has endured pain that ordinary people can't bear at the eighth year of fighting cancer. Unexpectedly, on November 5, 2020, she was diagnosed with a second recurrence of malignant tumor.
After seeing the video, the reporter immediately contacted Liu Meili, the mother of the "Little Angel", and rushed to Guizhou Provincial Cancer Hospital for an interview at noon on November 13.
"Little Angel": "Mom, I have a back pain!"
's condition relapsed again and moved to the spine
Noon on November 13, I saw Liu Meili sitting on a wooden chair next to the bed, leaning against her daughter's bed to rest.
"Anti-cancer angel" wrote on Douyin that it was 11 years old, but it was seen on Zi Yan's bedside patient information, but it was 9 years old and 3 months old.
Liu Meili told reporters that Zi Yan's actual age is indeed 11 years old, and the information of the ID card and household registration book is 9 years old. This is Zi Yan's second malignant tumor recurrence.
"At the beginning of the month, she told me, Mom, I had an ominous premonition, did it relapse again, because the symptoms were exactly the same as the first time I relapsed." Liu Meili said that when she heard her daughter crying for pain, her heart was like an ant on a hot pan, and she quickly took Ziyan to the hospital for examination. When she was waiting for the results, it seemed like she was living like a year for them.
"The condition really recurs again, and the condition is more serious than the time in 2017." The examination results came out. This news was a heavy blow for Liu Meili, and for the little Ziyan, it was another more serious torture for the torture of the illness.
requires immediate surgery, otherwise it will be paralyzed
6 hours. My mother was anxious outside the operating room and waited for
to recur again. Liu Meili immediately hospitalized at Guizhou Provincial Cancer Hospital. Zi Yan's diagnosis certificate reads: The high-risk group for internal and external lumbar spinal canal metastasis after stage IV surgery after chemotherapy on left neuroblastic carcinoma.
"The doctor said that if you are about ten days later, you will be paralyzed. I can't understand the photos taken by the doctor. I only know that the malignant tumor has metastasized to the spine and must be operated immediately." Liu Meili said.
(When Zi Yan entered the operating room)
At 4 pm on November 10, Zi Yan was pushed into the operating room and did not come out of the operating room until 10 pm. "I have been waiting outside for 6 hours. My mood is very complicated and my mind is blank. I don't know what to do."
Fortunately, Zi Yan's surgery went smoothly.
The tumor cannot be completely removed in the later stage requires chemotherapy + radiotherapy
, but there is another unacceptable fact: the malignant tumor compresses the spinal nerve and cannot be completely removed.
(part of the tumors removed)
The reporter found Zi Yan's attending doctor Dr. Mei in the doctor's office. Dr. Mei told reporters that Zi Yan's malignant tumor grows in the middle of the spine and can only remove most of the tumors. If completely removed, Zi Yan will paralyze both legs and incontinence.
"She was hospitalized in our hospital for the first treatment on December 12, 2012. She had the surgery and relapsed in February 2017 and metastasized in the spinal canal. She had surgery at that time and underwent 10 cycles of chemotherapy, which was controlled, but she suffered from a malignant tumor, which was more likely to recur. At the beginning of this month, the patient started to feel pain again." Dr. Mei told reporters.

Neuroblastic carcinoma is a relatively difficult-to-treat childhood tumors. It also suffers from great pain for patients. The surgery can only remove most of the tumors, and the rest needs to be controlled through chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
"Little Angel" Mom:
"I really hope that the person who hurts is me"
I don't know if I can persist until I go to Shanghai for radiotherapy
" Chemotherapy is the most painful. Every time I chemotherapy, I can't bear to see her painful expression. If I can bear this pain for her, she wouldn't have to suffer so much, but if I don't have chemotherapy, the cancer cells will continue to spread." Liu Meili said.
Every time I see my daughter crying silently in pain on the hospital bed.
"Chemotherapy will start next Monday. We have to persist in total 11 times. After the end, we will take her to Shanghai for radiotherapy." Liu Meili suddenly shed tears and said, "I don't know if she can persist until she goes to Shanghai for radiotherapy. I hope she can be strong."

When the reporter asked Zi Yan what he wanted to say to her mother, she looked at the ceiling and thought for two or three minutes, and she silently shed tears, but she did not speak, as if everything had been expressed through tears.
When chatting, Zi Yan's voice was very low. Because of the illness, she could no longer say too loudly. She needed to lean in front of her ears to hear clearly. She whispered to the reporter about playing with her younger brother who was two years younger than her, with a smile on her face.
"Angel Mom" joked: Shave your hair first and sell it for money
From chatting with them, the reporter learned that Zi Yan is now facing two major chemotherapy, and the cost of chemotherapy has made Liu Meili at a loss.
"I posted so many videos about Zi Yan on TikTok. While recording my daughter's anti-cancer incident, I also hope that more kind-hearted people can see it." Liu Meili even joked with Zi Yan that her hair will fall off anyway, so it's better to shave it now and buy some money.
When the reporter was interviewing in the ward, the relatives in the bed next to him heard the cause and effect of the matter, and immediately took out a hundred yuan from their pocket and said, "I don't know you, you don't know me, but your affairs touched me very much, because I have had the same experience. Although the help of strangers is insignificant, they have calculated my little bit of my heart."
