In 4 years, 63 times of radiotherapy and 30 times of chemotherapy, the anti-cancer goddess “Xu Daran” passed away.
On February 23, the account of anti-cancer internet celebrity Xu Daran announced the news of his passing. It is understood that Xu Dan (Xu Qian) was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2018. At that time, the doctor said that she could only live for half a year at most. But she is determined not to surrender to cancer, she will live a year, two years, or even longer!
In order to survive, she has received nearly 100 times of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the past 4 years. The pain is unimaginable and difficult for ordinary people to experience. Regrettably, the disease was ruthless and eventually took her away.
Xu Qian’s death is regrettable, and it also makes many people have greater doubts about chemotherapy, believing that chemotherapy will accelerate death. Is chemotherapy really that bad as the main treatment for cancer today?
1. After being diagnosed with cancer, which one can live longer with chemotherapy or without chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is a treatment method that kills tumor cells by directly destroying tumor cell structure or blocking nutrients in the process of cell proliferation through drugs. The treatment principle of chemotherapy is similar to “fighting poison with poison”. Although the effect is obvious, it also damages normal cells and the body’s immune function. Therefore, many people do not recognize this method of treatment, and some even think that chemotherapy will speed up the disease.
Is it worth it to fight for life with poison? In fact, chemotherapy is not a life-saver for cancer patients under standard treatment!
Zhang Xiaotian, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University Cancer Hospital said that chemotherapy is currently one of the three major means of treating malignant tumors in the world, which can effectively improve the five annual survival rate, reduce recurrence rate and prolong survival time.
Clinical evidence in the past 20 to 30 years has proved that chemotherapy can effectively cure certain types of lymphoma, breast cancer, reproductive system tumors and other diseases and patients with high sensitivity to chemotherapy. For example, the five-year survival rate of adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients after radical surgery was 13% higher than that for patients with gastric cancer treated with surgery alone. Patients with advanced gastric cancer who received chemotherapy could Survival extended by 5~7 months.
Re-emphasize that standardized chemotherapy will not accelerate death, and blind chemotherapy is really risky!
2. Under what circumstances might chemotherapy accelerate death?
1. Not sensitive to chemotherapy
Due to the difference of each person’s constitution, the effect of drug treatment will also be significantly different. If you are naturally insensitive to a certain chemotherapy drug, the effect is still unsatisfactory after the drug, or the drug is resistant to the drug after repeated chemotherapy, it is recommended not to use chemotherapy for such patients. Otherwise, serious damage to the body will not be worth the loss.
2. Elderly people with poor constitution
Generally, chemotherapy will be accompanied by side effects such as vomiting, loss of appetite, and hair loss. Chemotherapy for older people or people with poor physical fitness is likely to cause more harm to the body and worsen the condition.
3. End-stage tumors
Patients with end-stage tumors generally have cancer cell dissemination and metastasis, as well as physical weakness, anemia, fever, and malnutrition Such as the case of cachexia. Forcing chemotherapy at this time will often cause more harm to the patient’s body.
4. Serious organ damage
Chemotherapy can easily damage the heart, liver, kidney and other organs. For patients with severe organ damage such as heart failure, renal insufficiency, active liver disease, etc., the side effects of chemotherapy can increase their suffering and accelerate the disease.
5. Severe allergic reaction to the drug
Generally, the doctor can adjust the dosage or change the drug if there is an adverse reaction, but if a severe allergic reaction occurs, the Chemotherapy needs to be stopped immediately, otherwise it will accelerate the progression of the disease.
Third, why did the doctor give chemotherapy, but the patient died?
Seeing this, there may still be many people wondering, the doctor ordered chemotherapy, and the patient did the same, why did he die in the end? In fact, there are many factors that affect the survival of cancer patients, and it is not possible to use chemotherapy alone.
1. Tumor stage and grade
The tumor is based on the size and degree of invasion. And whether there is metastasis is divided into I, II, III, IV stage. In most cases, the earlier the tumor is staged, the better the treatment effect. The histological structure of tumor cells and normal cells under the microscope is different from high to low differentiation. Well differentiated tumors usually grow and metastasize slowly and have a lower degree of malignancy, while poorly differentiated tumors are the opposite.
2. Patient’s age and physical condition
In general, the prognosis of chemotherapy in young, healthy or anti-tumor patients It is ideal, while the prognosis of patients who are old, infirm or have multiple underlying diseases and cannot tolerate treatment is poor.
3. Whether to standardize treatment
The doctor needs to choose the chemotherapy regimen and treatment time according to the individual patient and whether the patient can benefit from it, and adjust the drug The dose and cycle of chemotherapy, as well as the prevention of adverse reactions, etc., therefore, whether or not to standardize chemotherapy plays a key role in the cure.
Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Medical College Affiliated Tongji Hospital Oncology, MD, attending physician Huang Liu said that if you ignore the science and give up chemotherapy, the disease will be more serious, In the end, it is not chemotherapy that kills people, but the malignant tumor cells that grow wildly.
4. How to deal with the side effects of chemotherapy?
1. Nausea, Vomiting
Tumor patients are prone to nausea and vomiting, so doctors will prescribe medication according to most patients. The possible symptoms and the variety and characteristics of the drug are used to choose the antiemetic drug that is suitable for the patient. Antiemetics are divided into intravenous and oral types. Patients need to use them strictly according to the frequency and dosage of the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and do not stop taking the medicine without authorization.
Also avoid taking medication on an empty stomach, try to do small, frequent meals, and choose light food. If a drug-sensitive patient develops severe nausea and vomiting, they should inform their doctor in time so that the doctor can take corresponding treatment measures.
2. Diarrhea
Statistics show that 75% of patients with digestive tract will have diarrhea, so it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable diet and even matching< /strong>. Try to eat small and frequent meals during diarrhea, and choose light and easily digestible foods. Daily intake of 2000~3000ml of water is also required, and appropriate amounts of orange juice, bananas, starfruit and other foods rich in electrolytes such as potassium and sodium are supplemented. Secondly, when choosing liquid food, try to match it with solid food such as steamed bread and bread.
3. Constipation
Patients are prone to constipation due to the use of antiemetics, pain relievers, or lack of food, lack of water, and lack of exercise. . To avoid constipation, it is necessary to ensure adequate water intake of 2000ml per day. Patients can drink 200ml of warm water after getting up in the morning to promote intestinal peristalsis. Eat more fiber-rich foods such as beans, greens, fruits, whole-wheat bread, and do some simple slow walking. After a meal, you can do some simple abdominal massage to promote bowel movement and try to choose a relatively fixed time to defecate.
All in all, chemotherapy is not as scary as imagined, and choosing an appropriate treatment plan is more beneficial to patients than harmful. Therefore, we must look at chemotherapy from an objective point of view.
