My brother suffered from malignant lymphoma and had 8 chemotherapy sessions, which cost more than 200,000 yuan. The attending doctor is a postdoctoral fellow at the Provincial Cancer Hospital, with a high education and rich experience. According to his doctor's advice and the time of reexamination, it was learned that the highest risk of recurrence and metastasis of malignant tumors was one month after dosage treatment, half a year after dosage treatment, one year after dosage treatment, and two years after dosage treatment. These four times were Focus on review and monitoring nodes.
Brother was treated with absent from May 2021, and two major re-examinations were conducted in June and December 2021, and the third major re-examination will be conducted in December 2022. Each major review is mainly for Patt CT examination, which costs about 7,000 yuan, which is quite expensive and is an inspection item at your own expense.
According to the attending doctor, if the results of the first three major reexaminations are fine, you only need to have a reexamination once a year in the future. If the re-examination results within five years are very good and there is no recurrence or metastasis, it means that it has been clinically cured and only needs to be reviewed once every three to five years in the future.
In summary, the time when the risk of recurrence and metastasis of malignant tumors is within one month after dosage treatment, within half a year after dosage treatment, within one year after dosage treatment, within two years after dosage treatment, and within five years after dosage treatment, Attention should be given to the five time nodes, and review on time and regularly. If you have any discomfort during the period, seek medical treatment in time. If you are not sure, you should contact the attending doctor to report the situation in time.
According to the attending doctor, there is no recurrence or metastasis within five years, which does not mean that there will be no recurrence or metastasis in the future, but the probability of recurrence and metastasis is relatively small. In general, the chances of malignant tumors recur and metastasis are relatively high, but they are just a matter of time. Some may recur in more than ten years, twenty or thirty years, and you may be in your eighties or nineties at that time.
The attending doctor advises patients with malignant tumors, no matter what the situation is, they must pay great attention to it and should not be careless:
1. According to the requirements of the attending doctor, regularly and on time Go to the hospital for re-examination;
2. Seek medical treatment in time if you have minor illnesses. Report any inaccurate symptoms to the attending doctor in time;
