patient's self-report:
I am telling these things today because I want more people to know that health is the most important thing in the face of everything. I am 23 years old this year and still studying in college. Some time ago, I always felt chest pain, frequent coughs, blood-stained sputum, and inexplicable weight loss. So I wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up before the holiday, but the results of the check-up gave me the bad news that I had lung cancer.
The reason for my lung cancer may have been long-standing, and that is long-term smoking. I have maintained this bad habit for 10 years, which means that when I was 13 years old, I secretly learned to smoke without telling my family and school. Later, I became addicted to smoking and could not quit. Moreover, the number of cigarettes smoked per day increases with age. During college, I smoked at least 2 packs of cigarettes per day. If I hadn't contracted cancer this time, I really wouldn't have known that smoking was so harmful. In the past, when my health was still fine, although I knew that smoking was bad, I could always do it. Some people smoked for a lifetime and were fine. , what am I afraid of.
Now I tell you based on my personal experience, it is better not to smoke. The harmful substances in smoke are really harmful to the lungs. Although I am actively cooperating with the hospital for treatment, daily chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. are still quite uncomfortable, and my body suffers from various adverse reactions. But in order to live, I kept persisting.
Doctor:
The patient has been smoking for 10 years. Recently, he has chest pain, severe cough, blood in the sputum and significant weight loss. Combined with lung CT, it was found that the lymph nodes in the right lung were enlarged and the position of the liver had changed. Lung cancer with liver metastasis was initially considered.
In order to better identify tumor types, patients need to further undergo tumor serum marker examination and lung puncture biopsy etc. It was found that patient reports showed poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma , and CT images showed suprahepatic lesions, and tumor serum CEA\CYFRA21-1 were all elevated, which is a manifestation of late-stage lung cancer. Patients with advanced lung cancer need comprehensive treatment based on systemic therapy, with customized treatment policies based on the patient's pathological type, molecular genetics characteristics and the patient's physical condition.
Seeing this, everyone should sound the alarm, especially those who smoke frequently. If you can quit smoking, do so as soon as possible. At the same time, second-hand smoke is also extremely harmful. We usually have less contact with people who smoke frequently to reduce the harm to the body. The patient in the
case was in his twenties, the age when he was ready to start fighting. Unexpectedly, his ignorance eventually led him to the path of cancer . Stop taking chances, take precautions, and smoke less. This is responsible for your own health.
