"On the high green mountain, the grass flowers bloom, pick a flower to give to my little girl, pin it to the ends of your hair, hold it in my heart..." In a warm melody of "Grass Flower", patients and their families are arranging flowers, listening to doctors tell psychological relief lessons, and sharing anti-cancer stories. This is the scene that recently occurred in the "Healing Her Narrative Space" of the Breast Department of the Cancer Prevention and Control Center of Sun Yat-sen University, and they care for "them" - breast cancer patients in this special way.
Narrative medicine has become an important means of cancer treatment
The number of new breast cancers in the world reached 2.26 million, surpassing lung cancer to become the "world's largest cancer". According to the "2020 China Tumor Registration Annual Report", there are 416,000 new cases of breast cancer in mainland China in 2020, and the problems that breast cancer patients have to face include treatment, life and death, and psychological pain caused by physical incompleteness.
At present, humanistic care is an indispensable need of cancer patients, which has become an important part of tumor treatment, nursing and rehabilitation, and narrative medicine has increasingly become an important means of cancer treatment. As a key cancer hospital in South China, the Cancer Prevention and Control Center of Sun Yat-sen University has established a "Mental Health Narrative Sharing Center" centered on narrative nursing. "Heal Her Narrative Space" is the latest project in narrative care for cancer patients.
Narrative medicine is a patient-centered medical model that has emerged in the field of medicine, through listening to patient narratives, paying attention to emotional factors that have been ignored, and reproducing what patients say, in order to achieve empathy with patients, so as to establish mutual trust between doctors and patients, so that patients can get a good medical experience, doctors get professional satisfaction, and realize the true landing of medical humanistic care.
People came to share anti-cancer stories
"I'm really good now, I want to tell you my story, I hope you're better than me in the future." Chun Chun, a special guest of this event, came to the scene by car from Hunan, and as a "person who came over", she said emotionally.
"November 7, 2016 was the darkest day of my life, and I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, which has always considered myself in great health." Chun Chun said that at the moment of diagnosis, she sat in the corridor of the hospital and did not know where to go, did not know who to tell, only tears flowed.
The story of the goddess of cancer
"Professor Tang Jun treats patients like relatives, and it is he who gives me great confidence!" The operation was scheduled for November 10, at the door of the operating room, Chun Chun made a cheering gesture to her daughter, and the operation went smoothly.
"As long as you can live one less piece of meat, it's okay!" Chun Chun said this to her sisters. During the chemotherapy period, Chunchun faced it with a strong heart, took the first high-speed train from Hengyang to Guangzhou every day, started chemotherapy at the Zhongzhu Day Chemotherapy Center, ate a fast meal at noon, and then rushed back to the high-speed rail of the day. "Soldiers will come to cover the water!" Because the heart accepted all this, the subsequent treatment was not as terrible as others said. The bald head also remembers to smile every day, and the nausea will not be eaten for a while, and it feels better to eat quickly. ”
After eating and insisting on exercise, the results of the first review of Chunchun were very good! She loves singing and running, and has participated in the Marathon Association, the Volunteer Association, the Poetry Reading Club, and everything is so beautiful.
Today, Chunchun has gone through the 6th year after recovering from breast cancer.
