Li Xuejian is a famous performing artist in China, he has a very high talent in performance, he was nominated by the state for the National Theatre of China first-class actor, what is little known is that Li Xuejian also has great achievements in the fight against cancer.
In 2000, Mr. Li Xuejian found that he had a small lump on his nose, but at this time, Mr. Li Xuejian was busy with work, so Li Xuejian did not pay attention to this small lump, with the development of time, the lump grew bigger and bigger, when the lump grew to the size of a cherry, it had seriously affected his breathing, and it also had a great impact on his eating, and even swallowed saliva was extremely difficult.
At this time, his wife Li Xuejian realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly took Li Xuejian to the hospital for a physical examination, and the results of the examination came out, Mr. Li Xuejian was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer is a more common malignant tumor in the mainland, mostly in people over 40 years old, and the probability of male disease is much higher than that of women, presumably related to bad habits such as smoking, animal experiments on mice have proved that higher nickel content can also increase the prevalence of nasopharyngeal cancer.
Due to the low level of medical care at that time, cancer was a "terminal disease" at that time, and because nasopharyngeal carcinoma occurred in the mucosal epithelium of the nasopharynx, if the operation was to be performed, a craniotomy step was required, and the operation was difficult, so most of the treatment methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma at that time were radiotherapy or drug chemotherapy. At this time, due to the delay of the disease, Mr. Li Xuejian has already had symptoms of bloody nasal discharge, tinnitus, dizziness is also very serious, and the left ear has almost completely lost hearing, and it is urgent to use radioactive rays to control the size of the tumor and relieve the acute symptoms.
The hospital then used an X-ray therapy machine to irradiate a large dose of Li Xuejian's nasopharyngeal mass, hoping to quickly control the growth of Li Xuejian's nasal tumor.
There is a possibility of complete cure, which is undoubtedly good news from heaven, and Li Xuejian and his wife are very happy to learn this news. For this reason, Li Xuejian decided to stop the work in his hand and devote himself to the fight against cancer, and the long radiation therapy began, although the cancer cells are very obviously affected by radiation, but the X-ray can not distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells, it will destroy the structure of all cells, as long as the cells that are not tolerant to it will suffer from its irradiation and die.
However, although there are fewer cancer cells, normal cells in the body also die in large numbers with X-ray irradiation, the most obvious is that Li Xuejian's immunity has decreased a lot, and the body's immunity is largely provided by the normal operation of the immune system.
When T cells and B cells die in large numbers, the body cannot effectively recognize what antigens invade the body, let alone produce antibodies for immunity, and the mass death of macrophages also reduces the ability to engulf these antigens.
So Mr. Li Xuejian became weak, and if he didn't pay attention to the addition or subtraction of clothes, Li Xuejian would catch a cold and fever, and usually if he didn't pay attention to his fingers, he would also bleed for a long time, because thrombocytopenia led to a decrease in the body's coagulation function. The longer the radiation therapy, the weaker Li Xuejian was afflicted by these minor problems.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, not to mention the frequent cold and fever, Li Xuejian's hair also began to fall out slowly, it turns out that X-rays will also damage the health of hair cells, when hair cells are damaged, patients often have different degrees of hair loss, and even eyebrows may fall out in serious cases, which is a heavy blow to Mr. Li Xuejian, who eats by appearance, if he really becomes a smooth person because of this, then how will he film in the future?
At this time, Li Xuejian had a strong resistance to radiotherapy and refused to accept treatment for a while, but fortunately, the doctor comforted that the hair loss would improve with the cessation of radiotherapy, and after the radiotherapy was completely stopped, the hair would gradually grow back. Hearing this, Mr. Li Xuejian gradually relieved himself and continued to cooperate with the treatment.
After more than a year of radiotherapy, the tumor in Li Xuejian's nose has almost disappeared, and the hospital suggested that Li Xuejian can start taking drugs, have regular physical examinations, and control the cancer situation independently, Li Xuejian also readily agreed, because he felt that he had been away from the set for too long, and hoped that he could devote himself to work and get rid of the pressure caused by cancer.
After 23 years, Mr. Li Xuejian has not only brought us many wonderful works, but also set a good example in the face of cancer, and has not recurred for such a long time, and has also inspired many patients. He has enthusiasm and responsibility for his work, and he also stubbornly resists cancer and fights to the end.
Now Mr. Li Xuejian has reached his prime, and we can still often see him on the screen, which is extremely rare for an old man who has been fighting cancer all year round, and it is also a miracle in the history of medicine.
The reporter interviewed Li Xuejian with this question, and the reporter asked: Is this because you enjoy the most superb medical treatment? Li Xuejian replied: "Actually, this is not the case, the medical level at that time was not as developed as it is now, and I was able to successfully fight cancer mainly because I did these four things well!"
Maintain an optimistic mindset
An optimistic attitude has a positive effect on physical health, and it is necessary to sign in after being overwhelmed by the torment of love. Adjusting his emotions in time, he got rid of cancer by enjoying the joy of work, and maintained a relaxed attitude in life, so Li Xuejian's cancer recovered very well and has never recurred in 23 years. We should also learn from Teacher Li Xuejian, regulate our emotions in our daily life, and try to avoid being in negative emotions, so as not to endanger our health.
Focus on exercise
A good body is always the best anti-cancer drug, without a good body, not only will suffer from the attack of cancer cells, complications will also affect the health of the human body, at this time people will fall into a vicious circle, because of the low resistance and can not control the cancer well, and then the invasion of cancer on the body, further leading to low immunity of the body. Teacher Li Xuejian chose swimming as a way to exercise, which can improve oxygen exchange with the outside world and promote the activity of the immune system in the body.
Keep away from irritating environments
The prevalence of nasopharyngeal cancer is largely related to the harsh environment, and when Mr. Li Xuejian is in a more polluted environment, he often wears a mask, and since the cancer, Mr. Li Xuejian has quit smoking, and he also respects it in the face of second-hand smoke, which effectively prevents cigarettes from affecting the health of the body, and staying away from pathogenic factors is also of great significance for maintaining the health of the body.
Eat a light diet
A light and balanced diet is very helpful to maintain the stability of the body's internal environment, and excessive fat and sweet taste will not only make the body lack essential elements such as vitamins, essential amino acids, fiber, etc., but also increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, cause indigestion, and affect the absorption of nutrients in the human body, so maintaining a balanced and reasonable diet is also helpful for the control of cancer. No matter how busy Mr. Li Xuejian is, he will eat an egg for breakfast to consume protein, and his good eating habits will also help him to fight cancer.
