In 2013, Yao Beina participated in The Voice of China and won the runner-up in the Naying group. But she was a well-deserved king of popularity in this show back then, and a song that may be sung by all the audience tomorrow. Since then, with the explosion of Zhen Huan's biography, the opening song she sang has won the love of audiences all over the country, and she was named the best female singer of the year in 2014.
In 2011, Yao Beina was just getting her career on the right track, and bad news came. She was confirmed to have breast cancer. In fact, before getting an accurate pathological examination, Yao Beina already had a conjecture in her heart. In April 2011, she noticed a dimple-like dimple in her left breast while she was taking a shower. At the same time, the skin looked like orange peel, and her instincts told her that something was wrong. I immediately went to the hospital for examination, but the ultrasound and CT of many hospitals did not detect any tumors. The doctor told him that it might be inflammation and suggested that he should be observed for a while.
Over the next month, the dimple became more and more pronounced. Yao Beina found a local breast cancer specialist, who suspected that it was a malignant tumor. However, the checklist is not enough to support this hypothesis, and the lesion can only be removed by surgery. If you want to know if it's cancer, the only way is surgery. But surgery means the risk of having your mastectomy.
Yao Beina said cut without hesitation, she knew that if she didn't cut it, she would face more fearful risks in the future. The doctor was amazed at how refreshing Yao Beina was. From diagnosis to surgery. This straightforward Wuhan girl is not at all like ordinary patients who are anxious, hesitant, depressed and painful, but should eat and drink, this optimistic attitude is very rare among breast cancer patients.
Breast cancer has now surpassed lung cancer as the most common cancer. Breast disease is more common in women over the age of 20, and breast nodules occur in 6 out of 10 women. We all know that the formation of breast cancer is inseparable from negative emotions, so how do emotions affect our body step by step and finally develop into cancer? "Surgical Authenticity" cloud: "Depression hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, thinking in the heart, and what you want is not enough, causing the meridians to be congested and coalescing." ”
According to the explanation of traditional Chinese medicine, depression and excessive thinking can cause a person's mood to fall into a depression, which in turn affects the function of the spleen, resulting in loss of appetite and a source of qi and blood biochemistry. The liver is drained, and after worrying about hurting the liver, the liver is lost and discharged, and the qi is not smooth, which is easy to cause meridian congestion. In addition, long-term poor mood may also cause phlegm and dampness, which can further aggravate the condition. These factors interact with each other and accumulate over time, which may eventually lead to phlegm coagulation, qi depression, and toxic and evil connotations, forming breast cancer lesions.
Yao Beina's operation went very smoothly, and she was fearless throughout the whole process, but the moment she entered the operating room and let go of her father's hand, she still cried. At the end of October 2013, Yao Beina finished the second phase of chemotherapy. Judging from the results of chemotherapy at that time, her recovery was very successful. After finally unloading this heavy heart demon, Yao Beina received Liu Huan's invitation to sing. Health magazines also invited her to be the initiator of the Pink Ribbon to encourage women to face breast cancer bravely.
Yao Beina took the cover of a health magazine with her upper body naked, and she did not shy away from showing everyone the left breast after mastectomy. She said the scar was my unique pink medal, and firmly told the girls that it was okay. Breasts should never be a part of limiting us, and we must be brave enough to face the disease head-on. At the same time, she also shared on Weibo that she had used a lot of anti-acne products and cosmetics containing hormones, which are one of the culprits of breast cancer.
Many of her female fans also began to step out of the shadow of mastectomy and face up to their bodies with her encouragement. They left messages saying thank you, sister, it was your courage that made me start falling in love and making friends like a normal girl. May we all enjoy the journey of life and be kind to ourselves under the sun and the fragrance of flowers.
But fate did not treat this strong and kind girl well after all, November 27, 2014. Yao Beina posted on Weibo that she had been lying down for a month after suffering from lung disease, and she especially wanted to sing. At that time, everyone was wishing her a speedy recovery and waiting for her new song to be released. But I really didn't expect this to be her last Weibo before her death. On January 16, 2015, the hot search was overwhelming with the news that Yao Beina died of breast cancer.
The first reaction of everyone was disbelief that she was so young and had a mastectomy. Why do you still die of breast cancer two years later? Later, the reporter asked the doctor who treated Yao Beina, and the doctor also felt very pity. Grief said that when she first found out, it was very timely, and it shouldn't have caused this situation, but...
Yao Beina's last Weibo before her death said that her lungs were sick, but in fact, breast cancer cells had metastasized to her lungs. After she finished phase 2 chemotherapy in 2013, she began to have more job offers, and one of the characteristics of breast cancer is its high recurrence. In particular, young premenopausal women receive the regulation of estrogen levels in the body, and the recurrence rate is as high as 80%. Therefore, after the completion of the previous surgery and chemotherapy, it is necessary to continue to monitor the cancer cells and have regular follow-up visits.
However, due to her busy work schedule, Yao Beina did not insist on continuing to have regular follow-up visits. It was only then that the cancer cells metastasized rapidly and extensively in the next two years. And her busy work makes her body in a state of fatigue and worry, and she often has no time to care about other things. Failure to have regular follow-up visits, failure to take medication, and failure to conduct regular self-examinations are the root causes of Yao Beina's failure to detect cancer cells in time in the later stage.
The incidence of breast cancer is high for 3 years after resection, and it is recommended that patients must have regular follow-up. Furthermore. Surgical chemotherapy alone is more harmful to the body, so it is recommended to use the means of integrated Chinese and Western medicine to continuously strengthen the body's constitution and immunity during chemotherapy. Only by attacking the virus and increasing the body at the same time will the prognosis be good. It's like growing vegetables in a vegetable patch, where pesticides not only kill insects but also destroy the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to fertilize the land so that the vegetables can grow well.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the etiology and pathogenesis of breast cancer complications are mainly caused by liver and spleen imbalance, liver stagnation and qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, internal cessation of phlegm and drinking, and disharmony and disorder of the internal organs. According to the clinical trial of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the method of moxibustion can relieve liver depression, regulate yin and yang, and dissolve phlegm and stasis. It has an auxiliary effect on the treatment of breast cancer, and it is simple and easy to operate, and the price is cheap, and patients can go home and insist on doing it after studying.
Select acupoints for Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Xuehai, and Zhongguan, and moxibustion once a day for 30 minutes each time. After breakfast and lunch, it can be used in combination with the prescription according to the individual medical situation, and it can be effective in the treatment of leukopenia inflammation. In addition to emotions, there is also diet, don't be picky eaters, don't eat high-fat foods all year round. Obese patients are more likely to get breast cancer, so lose weight and keep your body mass index within 24. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and supplement vitamins. Express your emotions in a reasonable and healthy way.
Prevention of any disease is better than cure, and early treatment is better than late treatment. After menstruation, women should regularly check their breasts once a month for orange peel changes, nipple retraction and indentation, and dimple signs. Whether the shape and height are symmetrical, and at the same time, press along the counterclockwise method with the fingertips to see if there is nodule hyperplasia. The armpits should also be observed for swollen lymph nodes.
