The elderly found bowel cancer, 8 times of chemotherapy and 2 times of metastasis, the doctor reminded: these bowel cancer signals must be careful

Worldwide, the most common cancer is probably lung cancer. But in my country, there is another kind of cancer that is catching up, has the possibility of surpassing liver cancer, that is colorectal cancer .

Intestinal cancer usually occurs in places such as Hunan, Sichuan, and Chongqing. Because they are keen to eat spicy food, bacon, and other spicy foods, people in these places are more prone to throat cancer and bowel cancer.

Xie Mou, a nearly 60-year-old man, unfortunately developed bowel cancer.

(1) The old man was found to have bowel cancer, and 8 times of chemotherapy, 2 times of metastasis.

Boss Xie is almost 60 years old this year. He is from Guangxi. Although he is a little old, he is still the pillar of the family. But in the past two years, there was a little problem with his body. First, his defecation was abnormal. Originally, Boss Xie defecates about twice a day, and the color is smooth and the thickness is uniform.

However, judging from the recent defecation status, he has pulled at least three times a day, and every time it is thin and thin, there is no comfortable feeling of smooth defecation like before. The second is that his stool was bloodshot, which was very painful.

After a period of time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to the anorectal department of the local hospital. doctor told him: "you have rectal adenocarcinoma ".

This type of cancer is simply rectal cancer. It is caused by not paying much attention to diet. After learning that he has cancer, Boss Xie actively cooperated with the treatment. In the end, with the help of surgery and chemotherapy, he saved the anus and did not need to remove it. Rectal artificial anus , less than a month, Mr. Xie recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Originally thought that if you don't die, there will be good fortune. Boss Xie also thought that he finally ushered in a new life, but if cancer is so easy to defeat, it will not be cancer. Repeatedly torturing people is the terrible thing about cancer.

A few years after the end of rectal cancer, Boss Xie suddenly felt that the left half of his body was very weak and could not be lifted up. Tumor indicators are beyond the normal state.

After the CT scan was done again, the doctor told Boss Xie earnestly that it was the lung metastasis of colorectal cancer, which means that he now has cancer cells and tumors in both lungs! Under the arrangement of the doctor, Boss Xie first tried several cycles of chemotherapy, but after re-examination, it was found that the cancer cells did not subside effectively.

The despairing Boss Xie began to resist practicing medicine. After a month of delay, he regained his courage after repeated persuasion from his family and came to the hospital for treatment. But unfortunately, the cancer cells have metastasized again, this time to the brain! head CT showed that a cancer tumor appeared in Boss Xie's brain.

(2) Using targeted drugs, the cancer did not spread any more.

That's it, Boss Xie has gone through 8 chemotherapy treatments and 2 cancer cell metastasis.

In the face of Boss Xie's thorny cancer, the doctor told Boss Xie that this time he could only try a targeted drug to see if the cancer could be cured. If the targeted drug didn't work, it would be really troublesome.

took the mentality of dead horse as a living horse to heal , and Boss Xie accepted targeted drug treatment. The hospital prescribed a regimen of bevacizumab + 5-FU/LV (bevacizumab 300mgd 1 5-FU1000mgd 2-6 LV300mg d2-6), and the course of treatment was two cycles.

I have to say that Boss Xie is very lucky. After two months of treatment, his cancer focus has been effectively suppressed , and even signs of shrinkage have appeared in some places. Until now, Boss Xie has been undergoing active treatment, and the cancer has no signs of spreading.

In this regard, patients may have some doubts about the hospital, that is, why are targeted drugs not used earlier? Is it just to make money for chemotherapy?

Of course not. The mechanism of action of targeted drugs is precision therapy. Its function is very single, that is, it inhibits the cancer cells it targets, but it cannot completely eliminate cancer cells. What we know is that cancer is easier to spread. Targeted drugs are used at the beginning, and then when the cancer spreads or is not completely suppressed, the cancer will develop drug resistance , and even the antibody will appear. At this time, it is too late to use any treatment.

To put it simply, although we have a good hand, it is impossible for us to be king at the beginning. We must start with the smallest three at the beginning, and this is one level after another of chemotherapy. Let's use Wang fried again. If the big names are gone at the beginning, how will the treatment be done later?

(3), the doctor reminds: these colorectal cancer signals be careful

Although colorectal cancer is very scary, it still has symptoms. For example, 80% of colorectal cancer patients will have symptoms of bloody stool. We have to distinguish it from hemorrhoids .

Secondly, patients with colorectal cancer will have obvious abdominal pain and aggravation. If you have abdominal pain for several weeks, you need to go to the hospital immediately.

The development of colorectal cancer in the later stage will also cause the patient to have a relatively large weight loss , anemia , because the intestinal absorption function has been disordered, you must be extra careful when this happens, it is likely to be a signal of colorectal cancer. Be careful.
