Preface
"Doctor, what's going on? Why can't I find the cause?" The 48-year-old Li Ming looked at the doctor with an anxious expression.
The doctor sighed and said, "Mr. Li, your condition is a bit complicated.
From the results of the current examination, the signs and symptoms point to a problem with the lungs. However, further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis, such as CT and bronchoscopy. "
Li Ming was a little puzzled, but still agreed to the doctor's advice.
Li Ming is a construction worker who is usually busy.
But in the last two months, he has been feeling tired and lacking his appetite.
His wife Dong Lin urged him to go to the hospital for examination, but he always shirked it, until recently, his cough became more and more serious, and he had chest pain at night, so he was dragged to the hospital by his wife.
When the results of the CT scan came out, the doctor called Mr. and Mrs. Li Ming to the office and said in a solemn tone, "Mr. Li, we suspect that you have lung cancer. "
"Lung cancer?" Li Ming and his wife were stunned. "But I've always been in good health, how can I get lung cancer?"
The doctor went on to explain: "Lung cancer is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and smoking is the most important risk factor. Mr. Li, do you usually smoke?"
Dong Lin replied first: "He smokes fiercely! At least one pack a day, and sometimes he has to smoke several cigarettes even when he has insomnia at night." I persuaded him many times, but he just couldn't quit. "
Li Ming lowered his head in embarrassment. The doctor went on to say, "Long-term heavy smoking can seriously damage the respiratory tract, especially the bronchial tubes and alveoli.
Harmful substances such as nicotine and tar contained in cigarettes can irritate the tracheal mucosa, cause chronic inflammation, and damage lung tissue. Over time, it can become cancerous. "
"So what now, can it be cured?" Li Ming asked anxiously.
The doctor comforted: "Don't worry too much, although lung cancer is dangerous, there is still great hope for a cure if it is detected early."
We need surgery to remove the lesion as soon as possible, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Of course, the most important thing is to quit smoking in the future, smoking will only accelerate the deterioration of the condition. "
Li Ming nodded, secretly determined to get rid of his bad habits. Dong Lin patted him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
Over the next month, Li Ming underwent surgery to remove the tumor and underwent several courses of chemotherapy.
Although the side effects made him miserable, he gritted his teeth and persevered in order to recover as soon as possible.
Finally, the results of the re-examination showed that the cancer cells in Li Ming's body had been basically eliminated. Li Ming excitedly shook the doctor's hand and thanked him repeatedly.
The doctor smiled and said, "The main reason why you can recover your health is because you can seek medical attention in time and cooperate with the treatment."
I hope you can take more care of your body in the future and stay away from the harm of cigarettes. "
Walking out of the hospital gate, Li Ming took a deep breath of fresh air. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
