The profile of Ye Liyi's Weibo homepage reads "Crying silently, just preparing for the worst in a sad way", she did encounter the worst thing that people can encounter, maybe it is her attitude that has not recurred after 26 years of fighting cancer, and now she is still living a dull and happy life.
Ye Liyi, who was born in 1948, is now 75 years old, and now for most people, she is already a grandmother's generation, when she was young, she was a famous female singer in Hong Kong, and her acting career was thriving, but she was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 48, which was a big blow to her at that time, because at that time, in most people's impressions, cancer was a terminal disease, which was equivalent to no cure.
In 1996, Ye Liyi found that she had a small lump the size of a soybean on her left breast, which was hard to the touch, but there was no abnormal feeling such as pain when pressed, and it did not have much impact on herself, so Ye Liyi put this matter behind her, and this lump has been there since then, and it has not dissipated for a long time, but because her body did not feel abnormal, Ye Liyi did not have the idea of checking it.
Six months later, Ye Liyi found that the lump had increased significantly, but at that time, Ye Liyi was busy with her career, and Ye Liyi did not have time to go to the hospital, 2 months later, the lump was getting bigger and bigger, it had become the size of a duck egg, and the texture was still extremely hard, fixed on the outside of the left breast, and it was difficult to move the position of the lump.
The physical examination of the hospital found that in addition to a lump on the left breast, Ye Liyi also had a lump in her left armpit, because the location was secret, so Ye Liyi herself did not notice the lump, and the subsequent auxiliary examination of the heart found no abnormality. Two mass punctures are then sent for biopsy.
The doctor told Ye Liyi to be mentally prepared, the result may not be very optimistic, Ye Li's face looked calm, but her heart was already fluctuating, very worried about hearing something bad, but what she was afraid of, the biopsy results showed that it was not a fibroid, it was an invasive non-special cancer, the tumor was benign, the cancer was malignant, and the invasive non-special cancer was not only malignant, but also a cancer with a poor prognosis in nausea.
When Ye Liyi heard the news, she instantly collapsed to the ground, huge fear and uneasiness struck, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart: Why me, what did I do wrong? Seeing this, the doctor also comforted Ye Liyi, telling Ye Liyi that her cancer can be completely cured after radical surgery, even if it is a medium-term patient, after surgery, the 5-year survival rate is 60%, so that Ye Liyi should not give up hope of survival.
After the doctor's persuasion, Ye Liyi accepted this reality, and then told her husband the fact that she had cancer, and her husband showed great importance to Ye Liyi's condition after hearing about it, he said: You don't care about anything, take care of your illness, I am your strongest backing. Ye Liyi was very touched by her husband's support, and also made her make up her mind that she would definitely defeat cancer with hard work.
When the time for the operation came, Ye Liyi was pushed into the operating room, when lying on the hospital bed, Ye Liyi's heart was still uneasy, but as soon as she arrived in the operating room, Ye Liyi's heart suddenly calmed down, as if she knew that after this operation, she would get a new life, and just as she thought, the mastectomy was very successful, the cancer tissue in the chest was basically cleaned up, and the operating lymph was also cleaned up, and the rest was left to chemotherapy and radiotherapy to clean up the remaining cancer cells.
Looking at her empty chest, Ye Liyi was still a little sad, but thinking that she had succeeded in fighting cancer for most of the time, Ye Liyi couldn't help but smile happily, although several postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy brought some side effects, but Ye Liyi didn't feel too uncomfortable, just like that, the chemotherapy was over, Ye Liyi rarely vomited, and even her hair didn't fall out much, and then Ye Liyi also underwent breast reconstruction surgery to complete her missing parts.
After a period of recuperation, Ye Liyi got up from her wheelchair, but she was not satisfied at this time, she hoped that she could return to the stage, firstly, to announce to the world that she had defeated cancer and gained a new life, on the other hand, she also hoped that through her own efforts, she would raise medical expenses for other patients suffering from cancer, hoping to help other cancer patients fight cancer and defeat cancer.
People with ideals will not be disappointed, and soon he returned to the stage, she was full of vitality on the stage, her singing voice was full of energy, her face was ruddy, and there would be long-lasting applause from the audience at the end of each singing, which was an admiration for her perfect performance, and also an encouragement to her rebirth.
In 2021, someone shared a video on social platforms, the video is the scene of 74-year-old Ye Liyi singing her classic song "Shanghai Tang", although this old man is full of silver hair, but when he sings, his expression is kind, his eyes are affectionate and spiritual, and his breath is stable, and his voice reveals affection, netizens sighed "It's still the taste of the year, it's really good, and the style has not diminished back then" At the same time, they also said that they really can't see that this is a cancer patient who has been fighting cancer for decades.
Many newspapers are also curious about Ye Liyi's ability to maintain such a good spirit, and have sent reporters to interview Ye Liyi, and the reporters will ask: Grandma Ye, you have not been defeated by the torture of cancer, but now you are getting more and more energetic, and you can sing such a moving song at the age of 74, what kind of magical health care products do you use?
Ye Liyi replied kindly: I don't take any health products, I pay attention to these three things in my daily life, but I don't need to spend money and time and energy, I can do it simply, that is, because of these three things, I have helped me fight cancer successfully, I have not relapsed for so long, and I maintain a healthy body.
The first is the companionship and support of relatives, at the first time Ye Liyi suffered from cancer, Ye Liyi's husband immediately expressed concern and support for Ye Liyi's condition, and it was her husband's care and support that gave Ye Liyi the confidence and motivation to fight cancer, and it is precisely for this reason that Ye Liyi did not show worry and fear most of the time when facing cancer, but faced it with a positive attitude.
Just like the signature on her Weibo homepage, she has prepared for the worst, she has been able to accept the worst, so she has nothing to worry about and fear, calmly faced, and actively cooperated with the treatment, so that she successfully fought cancer and did not recur for decades, and it is precisely because of the support of her family that she is living younger and younger at the age of 74 and still in a full state of mind.
The second is to be keen on sports, after getting breast cancer, Ye Liyi pays special attention to her physical health, she not only quit many bad habits, such as smoking and drinking, etc., but also keen on golf and swimming, which also plays a big role in maintaining her health, golf can exercise her hand-eye coordination, and the open field can also relieve the pressure in her heart, and her peace of mind will be young, her heart will be young, and her body will naturally look young.
Swimming can also strengthen Ye Liyi's cardiopulmonary function, improve Ye Liyi's immunity, contribute to the fight against the recurrence of cancer, and also exercise the muscles of the whole body, maintain Ye Liyi's athletic ability, and improve her spirit.
Finally, it is to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, the doctor can be said to know his own physical condition better than himself, because although the body feedback some uncomfortable symptoms to himself, but we cannot infer what is wrong based on these symptoms, but the doctor can find out the cause according to the symptoms, and can also eliminate the danger through examination, and some doctor's instructions are also good medicine for treatment, for example, the doctor told Ye Liyi to go to bed early and get up early, eat lightly, etc.
Moreover, the professional treatment plan and detailed examination also help Ye Liyi to stay healthy for a long time, when small lesions are found, the physical examination can always be found and treated in time, which also allows Ye Liyi to live a healthy life until she is in her 70s, and she looks as energetic as a young person.
