Four years ago, on a sunny afternoon, I found a spot at KFC to sit down and take a break. In the afterglow, I felt a middle-aged woman staring at me for half a day, and I looked back and saw a familiar face. This is not a college classmate I haven't seen in a decade, she worked as a general surgeon in a hospital in another city.
"What a coincidence!" After a few words of greeting each other and asking about her recent situation, it was clear that she should be doing quite well, full of mental health, fair skin, and no wrinkles. Symbolically praised her a few words, did not expect that this talkative old classmate was like opening the conversation box, telling me the latest situation of many classmates. And I am also very proud to say that I have been doing beauty in well-known chain stores for more than two years, using pure Chinese medicine to apply to my face, twice a week. Told me the name of the chain and suggested that my relatives and friends try it. Before leaving, we added WeChat to each other.
There was no contact with each other after that. Two years ago, this classmate sent me an electronic document saying that it was a CT image of the chest from the recent physical examination. The image shows a ground glass nodule in the lower left lung and a ground glass nodule in the upper right lung, and that the mixed ground glass nodule of the lower left lung has reached the point where surgery is needed. Tell her the truth, she is a doctor herself, presumably she has asked many doctors to go along, only hoping to get a different answer, but she is still disappointed, do not accept the reality.
She repeatedly wondered how the ground glass nodules of her lungs formed. Will it have anything to do with her facial beauty? This is really difficult to answer, after all, there are too many causes of lung cancer. As a general surgeon, usually going to work should be busier and more tired, and according to her usual sleep is not good, and there is a point, I heard that her father died of lymphoma in her high school, which is also a family history of malignant tumors.
However, I was shocked by her next words!
"You know what? The beauty salon owner also has lung cancer and has bone metastasis! ”
Is there really such a coincidence? There should be no such coincidence, the beauty shop owner should still be relatively young.
She said bitterly that she really regretted what beauty she did, and what pure Chinese medicine preparations could make people white and their skin tender. I was also really confused. Without health, what is the use of a young, white and tender face.
A few words of comfort, after all, it is still relatively early, and the operation will be fine. In fact, as I expected, pathology suggests invasive adenocarcinoma, stage IA2, which is relatively early. After three months of rest, she took the patient again and went to the operating table. But I think she'll never touch those so-called beauty products again.
And what she had been worried about happened again, the small nodule in the upper lobe of her right lung increased from the original 5mm to 8mm, and she did not want to lose lung tissue and suffer from surgery, this classmate chose to do radiofrequency ablation two months ago.
Many people say that there are so many people who come into contact with beauty products and do beauty, and this case is not convincing. In fact, this is like saying that people who smoke are not allowed to have cancer, and many people who do not smoke have lung cancer, will you be those lucky people, or may you become the unfortunate group? Are your genes strong enough to withstand your desperate tossing and turning without becoming cancerous? In the environment we live in, there are too many carcinogenic factors, and it is enough to avoid what can be avoided.
