Cancer has always been considered the most terrifying disease. The scary thing is that it is difficult to treat and has a high mortality rate. Once detected, it is an advanced stage. Every year, many people suffer from lost his life due to cancer. The 56-year-old singer Zhang Mi was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2019. After 300 days of treatment, she recovered successfully. What can her difficult anti-cancer experience tell us?
Zhang Mi had symptoms very early, but she was found to have advanced oropharyngeal cancer without professional diagnosis
< p data-track="3">When singer Zhang Mi began to show symptoms of oropharyngeal cancer, she was checked in a foreign hospital, only to find out that it was a facial muscle problem, which caused her mouth to be unable to open, but later became ill Gradually, she decided to return to China for treatment. When the doctor touched her hand, she preliminarily judged that Zhang Mi should be suffering from a tumor, and then the CT test carried out showed that she was in the advanced stage of nasopharyngeal cancer. At this time, it had been eight months since her earliest symptoms. If she had been professionally tested at the earliest, she might have been able to cure oropharyngeal cancer at an early stage. However, Zhang Mi did not give up.Regular chemoradiotherapy and targeted therapy were performed in the hospital, which lasted 300 days. At the time of filming, the tumor in her body had disappeared and she had successfully overcome cancer.
Her experience tells us that when our body is unwell, we must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Many cancers are relatively easy to treat at an early stage and are not life-threatening if detected early. The singer Zhang Mi, who is far away in Canada, has not received the most formal diagnosis, so she just thinks that the early symptoms of oropharyngeal cancer are only due to the problem of the facial muscles, which leads to the deterioration of the condition . Therefore, early detection and early treatment of cancer is the best choice.
How does Zhang Mi fight cancer and what should we pay attention to?
Actively take professional advice from doctors
Midang Zhang When I learned that I was in the advanced stage of oropharyngeal cancer, I didn’t hesitate, I immediately cooperated with the doctor for the most professional treatment, and the doctor’s instructions were fully followed. I didn’t give up treatment because I was already in the advanced stage, but actively face.
This is something we should learn. Many cancer patients are worried when they know they have cancer, and many even give up Opportunity for self-treatment. In fact,cancer is not an incurable disease. Many cancers can be cured, and even in the advanced stage, treatment can effectively prolong life. In the face of cancer, you should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, otherwise you will only miss the best time for treatment.
Gritting your teeth in the face of side effects of treatment
The treatment of cancer is painful, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy actually cause great damage to the body. During the treatment, Zhang Mi also experienced hair loss, peeling of her face, and severe pain in her feet. Even in the face of such a difficult and dangerous situation, she still gritted her teeth and survived.
So it is very important to actively treat the spirit of perseverance. Many people withdrew before treatment when they got cancer, but Zhang Mi chose to persevere in the fight, which was obviously the most correct choice. In the end, she also defeated cancer. Many times, facing cancer requires firm belief. Cancer is like a spring. If you are strong, it will be weak, and if you are weak, it will be strong. You must strengthen your beliefs to actively fight against cancer.
In order to improve my physique, I gave up my vegetarian habit for many years
As a public figure as a singer, Zhang Mi also conducts vegetarian training all year round to help herself maintain her figure. But in the face of cancer, vegetarian food can not give the body enough energy to fight cancer, she also decisively gave up the vegetarian diet to mix meat and vegetables, and a reasonable meal with coarse and fine grains. After being discharged from the hospital, her body was very weak, and she chose to gradually increase the amount of exercise to help strengthen her body, and finally rejuvenate her body.
Fighting cancer requires keeping your body strong, so eating and exercising are lacking None. With a reasonable diet in daily life, and maintaining physical fitness, a stronger body can help us reduce the risk of cancer, and if we have cancer, we can better fight and overcome it.
Zhang Mi suffered from advanced oropharyngeal cancer and successfully defeated cancer. She is undoubtedly very lucky, but her experience also sounded the alarm for us. In fact, sometimes we can prevent and detect cancer earlier, and the cure rate of advanced cancer is generally not very optimistic.So in order to prevent cancer, what should we do?
1. Enhance fitness
Eating lightly and exercising properly is a common topic, but it is true that each of us should do it. Eating a light diet can reduce our risk of many chronic diseases, and exercising can make our bodies stronger and better resistant to disease.
2. Get rid of bad habits
Bad habits such as staying up late and drinking alcohol for a long time will definitely increase our risk of cancer. We should resolutely correct these bad habits that have been confirmed to increase the risk of cancer. It can be said that many cancers are caused by long-term bad living habits, and these bad habits will pose a threat to our body invisibly.
3. Guaranteed annual physical examination
Many times, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of cancer. When you have obvious discomfort in your body, the cancer is likely to be in an advanced stage. This is also a scary part of cancer. However, effective physical examination can detect cancer in advance, detect precancerous lesions and cure them. We should do a special physical examination once a year, at least once every three years.For example, people who smoke all year round should pay attention to detecting respiratory cancer, and those who drink all year round should pay attention to detecting respiratory cancer. People should be tested for liver and digestive tract, and women should be tested for cervical and breast diseases. Special testing can effectively help us detect and treat cancer in advance.
Cancer is not invincible. We should not be afraid of difficulties and face it with a positive and optimistic attitude. In addition, the occurrence of cancer does not appear overnight, and is often caused by long-term diseases or bad living habits. Therefore, we should not delay minor illnesses and treat them in time. Preventing problems before they happen is always the top priority.
