Preface
As night fell, Li Ming's face became paler and paler.
This once lively and adorable 8-year-old boy is now lying in a hospital bed, battling the terrible devil of cancer.
His grandmother sat on the edge of the bed, helplessly wiping away tears.
How did all this happen?
Three months ago, Xiao Ming began to experience persistent epigastric pain and loss of appetite.
At first, the family thought it was just an ordinary stomach problem and didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until Xiao Ming started vomiting, and there was blood in the vomit, that Grandma realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly took him to the hospital for examination.
After a series of tests, the doctor finally gave an unacceptable diagnosis: stomach cancer.
This bad news exploded like a bomb in Li's house. Everyone can't believe that an 8-year-old child can get stomach cancer?
The doctor carefully inquired about Xiao Ming's eating habits and found a shocking fact: it turned out that in order to save money, his grandmother always bought flour that was about to expire and processed cheaply, which was used to make steamed buns for Xiao Ming.
"This is a very dangerous practice," the doctor said solemnly, "that expired flour may contain a lot of mycotoxins, and long-term consumption can seriously damage the liver and digestive tract, and even induce cancer." "
When Grandma heard this, she couldn't stop crying. She never imagined that her momentary negligence would bring so much harm to her grandson.
The doctor continued, "Gastric cancer is a common malignancy of the digestive tract that, although rare in children, is not without precedent.
Unhealthy eating habits, such as eating contaminated food, preference for pickled or smoked foods, etc., may increase the risk of stomach cancer.
In addition, factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection and familial heredity are also associated with the occurrence of gastric cancer. "
Xiao Ming's parents were full of remorse when they heard this. They are usually busy with work and neglect to take care of their children's diet, but they didn't expect to make such a big mistake.
"What should we do?" Xiao Ming's father asked eagerly, "The child is still so young, will cancer kill him?"
"Don't worry, now that medical technology is developed, stomach cancer is no longer an incurable disease. "
The doctor comforted, "Xiao Ming's cancer is still in the early stage, as long as the surgery is done in time and combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there is still a great hope of a full recovery." "
Hearing this, the Li family rekindled hope in their hearts. They decided to fully cooperate with the doctor's treatment and must save Xiao Ming.
After several months of treatment, Xiao Ming's condition finally improved. He reappeared with a smile that he had not seen in a long time, and although his body was still weak, he was full of life and hope.
This incident taught the Li family a painful lesson.
They realize that the healthy growth of children requires constant attention and care from parents.
No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your children's diet and daily life, and no matter how poor you are, you can't buy expired and spoiled food for cheap.
Only by taking care of it can we exchange for the health and happiness of a child's life.
Xiao Ming's experience has also attracted widespread attention from the society. Many parents are starting to re-examine their eating habits and pay more attention to food safety and nutritional balance.
The doctor reminds everyone that to prevent stomach cancer, the following needs to be done:
1. Cultivate good eating habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and less pickled and smoked foods;
2. Do not eat moldy and expired food, and beware of mycotoxins;
3. Regular Helicobacter pylori examination, and eradication treatment if necessary;
4. Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid contact with contaminated food and water sources;
5. People with a family history of gastric cancer should be screened regularly for early detection and early treatment.
Let's work together, starting from me, from now on, to stay away from stomach cancer and embrace a healthy life!
Xiao Ming's story hopes to become a warning and inspiration for everyone, and awaken more parents' sense of responsibility and prevention.
