Xu Linyou is the deputy chief physician of the thoracic surgery department of Huangshan People's Hospital. 10 years ago, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer accompanied by brain metastasis . Xu Linyou didn't expect that he had been dealing with lung cancer for more than 20 years, and it would actually come to his head one day.
From a lung cancer doctor to a lung cancer patient, at first, Xu Linyou was not used to his identity change. However, he has always been optimistic and cheerful, and slowly accepted the reality. Fortunately, after a course of radiotherapy and long-term targeted therapy, the lung cancer lesions in Xu Linyou's body are basically under control.
At this point, he took the initiative to return to work, which surprised his colleagues. Xu Linyou said, he is very aware of his own physical condition, and colleagues work together, and patients together, he will be in a better mood.
Since then, Xu Linyou began to reflect on his previous lifestyle, trying to change bad habits, while adjusting his mentality and actively cooperate with the treatment.
I remember when I was first diagnosed, my colleague told me that I wouldn't live more than 100 days. The company's website has been updated with the latest information about the company's products and services, as well as the latest information about the company's products and services. Looking back at his own journey, he summarizes three lessons learned.
"Of all the unfavorable influences, the one that can shorten a person's life is bad emotions and a bad state of mind." Academician Zhong Nanshan also pointed out that prolonged exposure to bad moods can adversely affect physical health and increase the risk of tumors.
He said that people who like to be alone, people who are chronically anxious, people who hold their breath, and people who love to take the bull by the horns are all susceptible to cancer.
Clinically, a number of studies have confirmed this. A German scholar investigated more than 8,000 different cancer patients and found that most of the patients' cancers occurred during periods of severe mental stress such as disappointment and loneliness.
A paired survey of 398 cases of stomach cancer in China's major cities of Beijing and Shanghai found that stomach cancer patients generally have a **** the same characteristics: love to sulk. In addition, a Nature Medicine study on the relationship between psychiatric factors and the effectiveness of tumor treatment also showed that: mood affects the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
It is clear that emotions are an important factor in the development and treatment of cancer, and that maintaining an optimistic and positive mindset plays an indispensable role in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
"Lung cancer metastasis is not hopeless." After being diagnosed with advanced lung cancer accompanied by brain metastasis, Xu Linyou knew it all: conventional treatment survival period of less than 100 days. Nevertheless, Xu Linyou did not want to give up any hope.
Then, Xu received chemotherapy at the hospital where he worked. During his treatment, a colleague learned that Xu was suffering from adenocarcinoma of the lungs, and suggested that he undergo an EGFR gene mutation test, which might be able to find a breakthrough. Eventually, the test results showed that Xu was suitable for targeted therapy.
After a period of radiotherapy and targeted therapy, Xu recovered very quickly. At the time of re-examination, the lung cancer foci in Xu's body had disappeared, and the foci that had metastasized to the brain had also shrunk significantly. The targeting therapy has brought Xu Linyou a ray of hope.
Some people think that brain metastasis of lung cancer means it is hopeless. In fact, besides targeted therapy, immunotherapy is also one of the choices for patients with lung cancer brain metastasis.
Wu Yilong, Chief Physician of Lung I Department of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital said that 60% of lung cancer brain metastasis patients need immunotherapy, and the earlier the better. Without immunotherapy, the survival period of lung cancer brain metastasis patients is only about 6-8 months. After receiving immunotherapy, the one-year survival rate of lung cancer brain metastasis patients is around 70%, and the two-year survival rate is around 50%, both of which have been greatly improved.
Xu Linyou believes that the occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to overwork, smoking and drinking, environmental pollution and other factors. Therefore, after finishing the treatment, he also began to adjust his living habits, quit smoking and drinking, actively exercise, change his mindset, etc., and eventually achieved significant results. From Xu Linyou's experience, to reduce the risk of lung cancer, you can start from the following aspects:
Avoid excessive intake of red meat and processed meats, keep your diet light in taste, less salt and oil, less barbecue, frying and pickled food, more fresh vegetables and fruits, and a balanced nutrition, which can help improve the body's immunity.
Multi-country studies have proven that moderate exercise can help prevent cancer. In the process of exercise, it can promote metabolism, accelerate blood circulation, and enhance cardiopulmonary function. The way of exercise varies from person to person, according to their own actual situation to choose swimming, climbing, tai chi, square dance and other different ways of exercise, it is recommended to exercise 2-3 days a week, a movement of 30 minutes or so, and follow the principle of "gradual and orderly", do not cause excessive exercise.
Smoking and drinking are the main risk factors for lung cancer, and a large foreign study shows that the risk of lung cancer in the smoking population is 13 times that of the non-smoking population. Although there is no direct relationship between drinking and lung cancer, it increases the risk of second primary cancer. It is never too late to stop smoking and drinking, which is equivalent to reducing the risk of a dozen types of cancer.
High work pressure, prolonged late night, excessive fatigue, resulting in serious overdraft of the body, will increase the risk of lung cancer, because when the body is in a state of long-term fatigue, the body's immunity will be lowered, weakening the function of repairing the DNA, inducing cancer. Therefore, even if the work and life pressure is great, we should try to ensure enough sleep, less late at night, the most important thing is to develop a regular work and rest habits.
Today, Dr. Xu Linyou is still active in lung cancer treatment. Having experienced lung cancer himself, he not only organizes his own anti-cancer tips, but also goes to lung cancer patients and personally shares his anti-cancer experience with them, encouraging patients not to lose hope easily even if they are suffering from cancer, and to stay optimistic and look for appropriate treatments that can help prolong survival time. #Follow Her Health # #Clear Breeze Project # #Ballad Zero Project #
