The process of my discovery of breast cancer, It’s dragged and dragged.
In February 2020, when I was taking a bath, I found that my right breast was a little sore. At that time, I was very thin and thin. When I touched the bones on the chest wall, my first reaction was what happened to the bones. question? Thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal, I didn’t care for a few weeks until a lump started to appear on the chest wall, I went to the doctor of Chinese medicine and hoped to drink a few doses of Chinese medicine to solve this problem, but the breast lump became more and more painful Tell me it’s not that simple.

A doctor who seems to be very experienced judges that it is not very good. It is recommended to find a hospital for a biopsy. At that time, during the new crown epidemic, it was really difficult to make an appointment with the hospital. Later, I was looking for a friend of a friend to make an appointment for a hospital examination. In the operating room, the doctor cut the skin tissue of my affected area. The biopsy result was not good, so let’s arrange an operation.
Everything was sudden. Overnight, I became a cancer patient. Husband was very anxious, and he was talking, you are too hard, too hard for your family’s affairs. I believe that after experiencing these things at home, my threshold of collapse is much higher than that of ordinary people. After my heart trembled, I recovered my senses in the fastest time.
Family with three cancers
I learned to accept the breakdown
2012 On January 4, 2018, my father was sent to the hospital by 120 ambulance due to vomiting blood. The eldest sister told us to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the rescue was already underway. The doctor told us that the blood pressure was very low, the situation was not very optimistic, and he had been receiving blood transfusions for rescue. With all his strength, Dad finally woke up two days later, and at the same time came a diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer.
advanced gastric cancer, no surgery Now, my father has been treated in the hospital for two months because of heavy bleeding. He lost 20 pounds at a time. His body was not fat, but now he is only skinny. Maybe because of this reason, my father’s body collapsed quickly, and the gastric cancer cells were eroding other healthy cells little by little. On January 6, 2014, my father left us forever.
I sent him away in the hospital alone. My mother and eldest brother have always been in poor health. My eldest sister has been taking care of them, knowing that my father After the news of his death, I informed them after I arranged everything about my father, and hoped that they would be fine when they saw the last appearance of my father.
Later in 2016, the second sister fell ill, and at first it was said that it was just a urinary tract infection. The second sister is a very family-oriented person. She is always worried that she will go to the hospital and no one will take care of her at home. The condition will be delayed again and again, and by the time of the final diagnosis, it is already bladder cancer has metastasized to the kidney. now.
The bladder and one kidney were surgically removed, leaving only 30% of kidney function on the other. At that time, my brother-in-law had not yet retired. I accompanied my second sister to the hospital for treatment, and communicated with the doctor about the treatment. The second sister’s mentality during the treatment was particularly good, and she must take a photo when she entered the hospital. At that time, she explained to me and said: If the situation is not good, don’t rescue it. She hopes to go away peacefully like this. It was treated like this for one year and seven months. In November 2017, I sent my family away again in the hospital.
After experiencing the death of two family members due to cancer, I am no longer unfamiliar with hearing the word “cancer” again. Even calmly began to arrange all the next treatment for himself.
Treatment
Correct communication with doctors is critical
After discussing with the doctor, I performed a total right mastectomy. The pathological results showed that: triple-negative breast cancer, 19 lymph nodes were removed, 3 metastases, and the mass was 2.5cm.
I ask the doctor, is it mid-term or late? The doctor woke me up with a word, Whether it is in the middle stage or in the advanced stage, the key is whether your anti-cancer mentality is good or not! The doctor said so, so what else? Treatment is good!

To start During the chemotherapy, I was very worried, because my father lost his sight due to the drug shortly after the chemotherapy, and the second sister’s chemotherapy was not very good at that time, and I was always worried about the side effects of the chemotherapy.
< p>
I didn’t let myself sit still and communicated these problems with the doctor in time. The doctor told me that everyone’s physical condition is different, so don’t worry too much, and they will give me I used some patches to relieve side effects. I don’t know whether it is really effective or psychological. I did not have much reaction to the subsequent chemotherapy.
< span>The first round of chemotherapy was paclitaxel combined with doxorubicin for six courses, and then capecitabine for six courses.
The side effects of capecitabine are still very obvious. I started to lose nails, only one or two at the beginning, but all of them were removed at the end, and my toes would hurt when I walked. The doctor said that the side effects of the drug were too severe Now, let’s stop capecitabine treatment. Later, the doctor said that we have done the best possible treatment in the early stage.
In the end, I stopped using capecitabine and chose professional Chinese medicine auxiliary treatment. It is difficult to make an appointment with this Chinese medicine practitioner. Every time I see him, I will prepare a review report every three months. Adjust the medication according to the actual situation.
Every chemotherapy cycle I will record what my problems are at this stage, it may be a dietary problem or a treatment or psychological problem, I will give timely feedback when I meet with the doctor next time Problems, the doctor can quickly obtain my information and give corresponding guidance to my disease. I think this communication method can solve many problems, so that I can also improve my own treatment. Will be more confident..
My anti-cancer experience< /p>w
01 You must have a belief in fighting cancerThe death of two family members due to cancer is deeply affected by everyone. One of the most uncomfortable is my mother. After I found out that I had cancer, one of the beliefs I held in my heart was that I must not let my mother experience the pain of white-haired people sending black-haired people. I want to spend more time with her, which is my determination to fight cancer. 02
An anticancer mindset is important< /span>
My husband accompanies me during radiotherapy. My husband doesn’t like to talk, he always sits by himself and watches silently I chatted and laughed with other patients. The patients asked me curiously: What is your husband’s disease? I said: I am sick, I am breast cancer. Everyone is very unconvinced. How can such an optimistic person be a cancer patient?
I have seen many patients give up after falling ill, worrying about recurrence and metastasis. Instead of thinking about unsolvable problems, live each day happily. Worry one more time about side effects, but there is no relief; one more worry about recurrence and metastasis, it may not be far away from you, breast cancer recovery requires positive energy, more Go out for a walk, communicate more, and everything will be different.

Communication with the doctor is important
Now that you have entrusted your health to him, learn to trust the doctor. Tell your doctor about your condition promptly. It is not easy to meet the chief doctor of a large hospital. Every time we meet, we must communicate our existing problems as much as possible.
My anti-cancer time may not be as long as everyone’s, but who is not Live hard with a long-term attitude! I hope that we can share these experiences with each other, and live every day of the present to be worthy of the gorgeous life that we snatched back from the god of death.
