1. I never thought I would get cancer. I once designed a funeral for myself
Zhang Mi's lifestyle has always been very healthy. She doesn't drink, smoke, stay up late, insists on vegetarianism, usually has few colds, but she is diagnosed with tonsill cancer . Zhang Mi can’t figure out why she got cancer if she lives so healthily?
However, Zhang Mi knows very well that cancer cannot occur for no reason. Looking back on the days before the diagnosis, she realized that she was indeed feeling unwell in her body, but she did not pay attention to it at the beginning.
At the end of August 2018, Zhang Mi found that her mouth suddenly couldn't open, and she could only open a small gap shortly afterwards. also had dysphagia , and she could only eat liquid .
She was still in Canada at that time and saw several doctors, all of whom said she was because of excessive mental stress.
Therefore, Zhang Mi did not think about cancer, but after a period of treatment, the situation did not improve but became more serious. Only then did she realize that her direction might be wrong.
So Zhang Mi rushed back to China and quickly conducted a comprehensive inspection. The test results came out soon, and Zhang Mi was misdiagnosed as advanced tonsill cancer. At this point, it has been 8 months since she found that she was unwell.
In the video, Zhang Mi revealed her feelings about knowing the news that she was diagnosed with cancer. When
was found, was already in the late stage and cancer cells spread . Zhang Mi's physical condition was very bad - she could not open her mouth to speak, could not eat, had difficulty breathing, and was accompanied by severe discomfort such as tinnitus and .
She couldn't stand the torture and was completely disappointed. She felt that she had been sentenced to death with .
Knowing that she has not had many days left, Zhang Mi even quietly prepared a funeral, a red long skirt, a favorite photo, a list of funeral guests ... She arranged everything, just waiting for the last moment to arrive.
2. Only after suffering from cancer did I realize that many patients were "scared to death"
At the beginning, the treatment plan given by the doctor was to cut off the right face and cut off the cancerous tongue. However, Zhang Mi's situation is not optimistic and she cannot undergo surgery at all, otherwise she will die at any time.
After comprehensive consideration, the doctor suggested that Zhang Mi undergo chemotherapy first, reduce the tumor before checking whether the surgery can be performed, and Zhang Mi agreed.
Not long after the chemotherapy began, Zhangmi's fingers and fingernails turned black . hair loss is severe. Every morning, when you wake up, you have lots of hair on your pillow, which is very scary.
After chemotherapy, Zhang Mi also needs to undergo radiotherapy. Under the radiation exposure, her face and neck sheds skin, and blood seeps seeping under her skin. The tongue is full of knife edges, not only can’t speak, but even drinking water has become a problem .
Fortunately, Zhang Mi's condition is getting better day by day. When the re-examination was conducted in October 2019, the tumor in Zhang Mi's body had disappeared and there was no need for another surgery.
Later, Zhang Mi talked about how she realized that "70% of patients were scared to death."
During her hospitalization, she was awakened several times by the shouts and vomiting of patients in the next ward. Then she heard the hurried footsteps of the doctor and nurse and the wailing of the family...
Although she was lying in the quilt and couldn't see the situation outside, Zhang Mi knew: it should be that the patient next door had been sent to ICU, or had died. At this time, Zhang Mi will think randomly: "Will I be the next one to die?" "Can God give me a way out?" After being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Mi continued her passionate career and felt that she was reborn.
She started recording songs, shooting, and walking the catwalk, doing things she often did before she got sick, but she had completely different feelings, everything seemed like a new life.
3. Tonsill cancer is very good at "disguising". Don't treat it as anger
I believe many people have to pass tonsillitis . Tonsills are in the throat fortress, and harmful microorganisms invade. The first level is it. When bacteria and viruses invade, the tonsils produce lymphocytes and antibodies, which play a defensive role.
During this process, tonsils are prone to inflammation, leading to tonsillitis. In addition, tonsils are also more susceptible to factors such as temperature and fatigue. Once the immunity decreases, the risk of inflammation will increase.
Tonsillitis is not a serious illness and is easy to recover, but it may also become cancerous.
At present, the exact cause of tonsillar cancer is not yet clear. may be related to bad living habits such as smoking and drinking, as well as factors such as infection with HPV.
It should be noted that early tonsillitis can have no symptoms, or the symptoms are similar to chronic tonsillitis , such as discomfort in swallowing, foreign body sensation in the throat, etc., which are easy to be confused.
As the condition progresses, obvious sore throat will not occur in the late stage. The sore throat will be aggravated when swallowing, and the pain may also radiate to the face or ears.
So, how should tonsill cancer be prevented in daily life? There are a few points to note:
- quit smoking and limit alcohol, develop good living habits, combine work and rest, and improve immunity.
- Stay away from harmful gases and dust, open windows at home regularly to ventilate to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity.
- Pay attention to lumps on the neck, especially asymmetric tonsils. Seek medical examination in time.
- Those who are over 40 years old and have long-term pharyngeal discomfort and have foreign body sensation should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to check for tonsillar cancer.
In fact, with the rapid development of medical technology, cancer is no longer a terminal illness. Many cancers can be cured after standardized treatment and achieve long-term survival.
So, in the face of cancer, we don’t have to panic. We should look at it rationally and actively treat it, and we will see hope one day.
