As soon as some people hear me say this, your doctor wants to treat patients with money. I am a popular science student. Who should I send a private message or leave a message saying that people with cancer will come to me? If so, it would be selfish. I don't reply to many people's private letters, because the specific illness can't be clearly stated on the Internet. I am just a popular science, a popular science without selfish interests, and I can't benefit from it.
If it is lung cancer, we must first find out the condition, because the condition is different and the choice is different, so we can't simply say no treatment.
Lung cancer is divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer is divided into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large and small cell carcinoma. Now more and more molecular typing is carried out, that is, typing is carried out according to the results of genetic testing. In addition, another important factor is the stage, 1, 2, 3, 4, which is of course different. If all lung cancers are mixed together, do you think it is a bit ridiculous and unreliable? Just like you said that people in a province are bad people, it is ridiculous and unreliable.
Early lung cancer (refers to 1 stage, stage 2) may be cured, mainly by surgery. In this case, we still have to discuss it. Of course, we must actively operate to try to cure it. If it is in the middle and late stage (stage 3), surgery, concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy or palliative medical treatment can be performed according to the situation. Some patients still have a chance to be cured, others don't, and they are treated as advanced (stage 4). But even in the advanced stage (stage 4), it doesn't mean that it can't be treated completely. Chemotherapy is cheap now, and some targeted drugs are also cheap. Gefitinib, for example, is already very cheap. It only costs 1,000 yuan a month, and you can still get medical insurance. Everyone who knows it knows that it is oral medicine, so just take it at home. In this case, you say no treatment. Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to use this medicine, and it can only be used if the genetic test meets the requirements. I give this example to say that you have to find out the condition first, and then talk about how to choose, instead of simply saying "lung cancer". Lung cancer includes many different conditions.
When I went back to my hometown yesterday, my father said that the cucumber vine planted in front of my house suddenly withered and didn't bear a cucumber. Our home is in the tuyere, more than 200 meters away is cultivated land, a while ago there used a lot of herbicides.
Are crops, fruits and vegetables in rural areas inseparable from pesticides now? In recent years, the incidence of cancer has gradually increased. Besides the aging population, smoking and other factors, are these pesticide residues also one of the reasons? I don't know!
The old man finds out lung cancer, what should the child do? There are two wrong practices that are not desirable! One is to give up treatment directly, regardless of stage; Second, no matter what the treatment is, even if you lose everything. Both methods are irrational and not the best method for patients.
There is an old saying that the family is poor and has no filial son, and the hospital is the place to find human nature! Some patients are in good health. When they are discovered, they have the opportunity to have an operation at an early stage. However, as soon as their children hear that they need tens of thousands of dollars, they will give up treatment directly. Some said they would go home to find remedies and treat them well. The hospital can't cure them anyway. Is the life of the elderly worthless? God knows!
Another kind of children are especially filial, trying to prolong the life of the elderly at all costs, and even have a lot of foreign debts. Some doctors don't recommend overtreatment, but there is still little hope. This practice is not worth the loss.
The old man finds out lung cancer, what should the child do? There are also standardized guidelines for the treatment of malignant tumors, which is convenient for online communication. Children may wish to follow three steps:
1. First listen to the doctor's guidance, make a pathological diagnosis, and evaluate the tumor stage and the physical condition of the elderly.
If the prospect of tumor resection is great and the elderly can bear it, they may wish to take the initiative to fight for it. Early lung cancer can be cured; Even some locally advanced lung cancer, combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, has the hope of recovery.
This is a case of right upper lung adenocarcinoma invading pleura, and the tumor is more than 4 cm. Surgical resection and postoperative chemotherapy have been more than three years, and there is no recurrence.
2. If it is advanced, but it is sensitive to chemotherapy, or sensitive to targeted therapy, you might as well try your best to extend the life span of the elderly for several years.
This is small cell lung cancer. Although the lesion is very small and has vascular metastasis, it cannot be operated, but after nearly 6 years of comprehensive chemotherapy, it is still alive. There is a children's song called happiness will not fall from the sky, and socialism cannot wait! Some miracles only happen when you strive for them!
3. If it is very late and the patient's physical condition is poor, it is not recommended to overtreatment, and everything is mainly to alleviate the pain of the elderly and improve the quality of life.
Like this old man, it has spread widely and his appetite is not good. It is not recommended to take radical treatment.
If conditions permit, early lung cancer can be cured by regular physical examination of the elderly, and low-dose spiral CT screening can reduce the mortality rate by 20%. For the high-risk group of lung cancer, you may wish to have a regular physical examination. Filial piety is priceless, and love has reincarnation!
I'm Dr. Hao from the Imaging Department. Welcome to pay attention!
I'm Dr. Xiaoying. Parents have lung cancer, how should children face it? In short, everything that can be cured is cured, and everything that can't be cured must end well. Parents are sick, especially cancer, which is what our children are most afraid of now. But in any case, it has become a fact and can only be faced positively. These are the parents who gave birth to themselves. They are sick and can't be ignored.
First of all, we should know the staging of lung cancer. Can it be treated? What are the chances of cure? Don't be afraid when you hear about lung cancer. Early lung cancer can be cured. So first of all, ask the doctor whether it is early or late lung cancer, what treatment methods are available at present, and how likely it is to be cured. These are the most basic information about the disease and prognosis. Although cancer is terrible, if it is early cancer, be grateful, because 80% can be cured.
When lung cancer is found, chest CT can be used to evaluate whether there is lymph node metastasis, and abdominal CT or even PETCT can be used to evaluate whether there is systemic metastasis. If there is no distant metastasis, there is only a lump in the lung. Doctors can perform surgery after evaluation, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be needed after operation. These are all acceptable. At least there is a cure, so you have to work hard. You only have one life.
If there are multiple metastases in the whole body and there is no chance of surgery, whether you can take targeted drugs should consult your doctor. The emergence of targeted drugs has become the gospel of many patients with advanced lung cancer, making it possible to control advanced lung cancer. In my work, I have seen many advanced lung cancers. After taking targeted drugs, the tumor has shrunk obviously and the effect is very good.
If the advanced lung cancer is in poor health and cannot be cured, it is better to die well, which can be cured and controlled. But if, unfortunately, not only the lung cancer is terminal, but also the basic condition is too poor to be treated, then there is no need to waste money, and there is no need to end up with both people and money. You can be hospitalized for symptomatic treatment to alleviate the pain caused by the disease. For example, if you feel pain, take an analgesic injection, and if you can't eat, go to the stomach tube. Stay with him and have the best time.
Parents and children are a kind of fate. It is enough to be worthy of yourself and your parents.
Parents have lung cancer, how should children face it? This question is very real and has practical guiding significance. Dr. Chen will communicate with you with his own clinical ideas!
I think as children, when we learn that our parents have lung cancer, we should have the following reactions:
1. Face the reality! We often encounter this situation. Parents' physical examination found lung cancer and refused to accept or admit it. So are their children. They went to major hospitals and met one professor after another. Finally, the time was delayed and the condition progressed. When I wake up, I find that early treatment is king! So, face the reality as soon as possible, and stop complaining that God is unfair and blind. What you have to do is to face the reality objectively with your parents!
2. Determine the treatment plan as soon as possible! Whether your parents are in the early or late stage of lung cancer, active treatment or palliative treatment, what children should do is to determine a treatment plan suitable for their families as soon as possible!
Why do you say that? For example, traveling and staying in hotels, there are five-star hotels and ordinary hotels. If you have money, you can stay in an expensive hotel. If you have no money, we can stay in an ordinary hotel. Speaking of the treatment of lung cancer, for example, if you have a genetic mutation, the doctor wants to talk to you. Do you eat imported Iressa, Trocquer or even more expensive Teresa, or do you eat cheaper, domestic Camme sodium? Do you only use one medicine? Or combine some injections to improve immunity? At this time, the decision is in your hands, how to choose?
But note: if you have no money, don't be fat! Lung cancer needs long-term treatment, and targeted drugs should be taken all the time, so you may be able to take Iressa for half a year or 1 year, but two years? What about three years? The treatment of lung cancer is bound to make progress eventually, and usually the cost will be higher after the progress. How to choose at this time?
In the end, should parents be allowed to leave with dignity? Or plug in all kinds of life-sustaining tubes? As children, it is difficult for us to make this decision. However, I believe that as long as you decide and work hard for it, you will have no regrets.
3. Encourage each other! As children, we should encourage our parents to live a good life! The treatment of lung cancer has developed rapidly in recent years! Represented by targeted therapy, the era of precision therapy has arrived! The total survival time of patients is increasing. So be optimistic! Have full confidence in scientists! We believe that curing lung cancer in the future is not a dream. All you have to do is keep them waiting for this day as much as possible! Of course, live every day!
This is really a cruel question.
What is real growth?
When the first instant message of the worst news, the hardest decision and the most important event comes, you are the first recipient, then you are really an adult. Parents have cancer, news of diagnosis, treatment plan, side effects of treatment, economic problems, survival time, etc. All this information needs your help to make a decision. This growth process is really a difficult process.
Parents have lung cancer, and what should come cannot be changed. As children, how should we face it?
1, calm down. Facing the sudden blow, we will be shocked and at a loss, just like a bolt from the blue, but please remember that parents need us to calm down and deal with it calmly. In the face of this tough battle against cancer, we are the people that our parents trust most, and also the people that are most worthy of entrusting and relying on. In this hard battle, we must become an excellent strategist.
2. study. Say goodbye to sadness and complaints as soon as possible to avoid the situation of "rushing to the hospital". As young people, children have more advantages in mastering scientific and standardized medical knowledge, communicating with doctors, understanding the latest drug research progress, and distinguishing between true and false information. At this time, it is necessary to give full play to this advantage and quickly find reliable channels to obtain information, such as oncologists, WeChat official accounts, websites and scientific and rigorous platforms related to cancer treatment progress.
When we know nothing about the treatment and prognosis of lung cancer, uncertainty makes us more afraid. By consulting relevant information, we can quickly obtain accurate medical information, have a clearer direction for follow-up treatment, and feel more confident.
3. communication. Parents getting cancer is not a matter for one person, but for the whole family, which will change the original life track of the whole family members. At this time, as children, we should try not to pass negative emotions on to our parents. We need to help parents accept the fact of cancer through the guidance of positive information and psychological counseling, and establish the confidence of active treatment as soon as possible. The positive side of children will bring positive energy to parents and send positive sunshine. Communicate with parents more, understand their real thoughts and concerns, and resolve their concerns. Good communication will strengthen your belief.
4. Listening and emotional support. During the period of cancer, parents may show emotional reactions or lose their temper due to emotional fluctuations, side effects and various discomforts during the treatment. At this time, as a child, we must understand more and know that patients have emotional reactions because of illness or psychological and physical discomfort. At this time, you should be good at listening, let parents feel the care and support of their children, and let parents feel that no matter how difficult it is, you will accompany him through the difficulties. In addition, some parents worry that they will be a drag on their children. At this time, we should also express our parents' meaning to our children, and ask parents not to have psychological pressure.
5. Discover the power of example. The strength of a single relative is not enough. If possible, help parents pay attention to the cases of successful rehabilitation of lung cancer around them, especially some successful anti-cancer patients with strong and optimistic personality or volunteers in the ward, and ask them to communicate with their parents more. Tell parents with personal experience and empathy that we also have hope of winning. The experience of successful people is like a light in a dark tunnel, leading them to the light. The power of example is infinite.
6, actively cooperate with the doctor to do a good job of treatment and nursing. During the illness, children may have to undertake the main task of communicating with doctors, consult more professional doctors, carry out standardized treatment, do a good job in the management of side effects and diet care, observe the side effects of drugs and report them to doctors in time, and review them regularly according to the doctor's advice during the treatment window. Encourage parents to actively cooperate with rehabilitation training. These actual accompanying treatment and nursing details are related to the treatment effect and side effects of parents and the quality of life after treatment.
7, in the economic aspect, looking for the necessary support. The treatment of cancer will bring great economic burden to families. Learning and applying current medical insurance policies, such as medical insurance for special diseases and serious diseases, can reduce medical expenses and alleviate economic pressure to some extent. Some new drugs, such as targeted drugs, have a drug administration policy, so you should know more. In addition, some hospitals also carry out clinical trials of related drugs, which can greatly save the cost of treatment, and can also participate if conditions permit.
Finally, every cancer family is not easy, and the fact of cancer cannot be changed. How to make a family's life better, cherish it more, accompany it better, respect each other, make decisions together and continue their beliefs is the direction that every cancer family pursues. I wish them victory!
My father will have surgery next Monday. Lung adenocarcinoma and local invasion of pleura and ribs should be counted as 2-3 by stages. Fortunately, there was no pleural effusion and petct did not metastasize. Chinese medicine experts suggest taking traditional Chinese medicine for conservative treatment. The last hospital caused pneumonia. The director of thoracic surgery originally wanted surgery, but later he changed to palliative care. He's also a doctor of medicine, garbage! Decisively change hospitals, re-examine, and you can operate. Prepare local radiotherapy, Chinese medicine conditioning and systemic chemotherapy after operation. If the effect is not good, detect gene targeting. If there is no mutation or drug resistance in the future, consider immunotherapy. I am poor, but for the sake of my parents, I have to create some opportunities if I don't have any opportunities, and try my best to know my destiny. Man proposes, God disposes. Be a man, but feel at ease and have a clear conscience. Targeting has entered the medical insurance, I hope the immunization will be quick.
Finally, say a few more words. Children, especially only children, may not be strong enough in the past, but in front of ca, sadness, despair and complaining are useless. Your strength is the hope of your family.
My old father is eighty years old. He is in poor health. Fortunately, his old man's mind is good and he has been found out for a year. I really have no face to face it! !
