Time flies, and the years are in a hurry. I remember it was a cold winter day, and Jiang Lao, an eighty-year-old man, was a retired PLA soldier. During a physical examination, a liver and lung mass was discovered, like a dark night covered with ice and snow, and suddenly enveloped his life.
Under the shadow of the white wall lamps of the hospital, I looked at Jiang Lao's kind face, but his eyes were full of uneasiness. At the beginning of January 2023, the results of the needle biopsy revealed the harsh reality that squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung is accompanied by liver metastasis, and the clinical stage has reached stage IV. At that moment, the frost of time seemed to freeze all hope.
Although the road to treatment was long and tortuous, we chose a journey full of hope. After in-depth communication and detailed analysis with the family, we opened the door to "tislelizumab" immunotherapy for him, and at the same time joined hands with "nab-paclitaxel + carboplatin" chemotherapy. Although there are many twists and turns on the stage of life, we always believe that hope is found in hopelessness.
The beginning of the treatment is like spring when the snow melts, and life is rejuvenated. A detailed diet plan has become a bright spot in life, and every meal is a detailed plan. The more characteristic dietary therapy can be 20 grams each time, 2 times a day, like a ritual of life, intermittent oral oligosaccharides, like a gust of breeze, giving the body extra nourishment.
The day of treatment is a life-saving conversation. After 49 days of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy, Jiang Lao's tumor has changed significantly. The original 4.0*3.79cm lung tumor has shrunk to 2.38*1.9cm like a miracle of life, and the liver metastases have also shrunk from 3.55*3.02cm to 1.71*1.64cm. The decline in tumor markers is like a victory in life.
Compared with traditional treatments, our treatment plan allows Jiang Lao to leave a deeper footprint on the beach of life. Traditional treatment for advanced tumors is often powerless except to count down life. Age is a contraindication to chemotherapy and is often accompanied by a series of side effects, such as bone marrow suppression, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, and fatigue. However, Jiang Lao only had mild gastrointestinal reactions during the treatment, which was easily solved by the treatment of protecting the stomach and promoting appetite.
The whole chemotherapy process was comforting, with mild nausea, no vomiting, no fatigue and other discomforts, and no bone marrow suppression in the blood routine for multiple retests. In contrast, we pay attention to the nutritional support treatment of patients, and the consumption of energy significantly reduces the side effects of patients and improves the quality of life, just like the rainbow of life, adding to the brilliance of the curative effect.
Life, like a symphony, is full of ups and downs and agitation. In the journey of life, although Jiang Lao encountered wanton wind and rain, he still maintained his love for life. The years are long, and the flowers are blooming. Behind every treatment is the cherishing of life and the continuation of hope. In the face of helplessness, Jiang Lao chose bravery, healing, and the miracle of life. Although the years are long, at every moment of persistence, life can bloom with brilliant brilliance.
