Preface
Wang Dalin, 59, is the owner of a local hardware store.
Late one night half a year ago, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and had difficulty breathing.
His wife, Li Yafen, hurriedly sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The doctor on duty, Zhu Liqun, suspected that he had a lung problem and immediately arranged a CT scan.
The imaging results showed that Wang Dalin had a mass with a diameter of 3 cm in the middle lobe of his right lung with a blurred border.
Dr. Chu admitted him to the hospital for further examination.
After a series of examinations, he was diagnosed with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with a clinical stage III.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Wang Dalin. In fact, he has been coughing up and coughing up blood for several months, but he has not paid attention to it, and still does not leave 1 pack of cigarettes a day.
His wife blamed him for not taking care of his body and advised him to go to the hospital early, but he always said that he was fine, smoked and refreshed, and his health was fine after smoking for more than 20 years.
After some ideological struggle, Wang Dalin finally decided to undergo treatment. he
He underwent surgery to remove the tumor and chemotherapy after the operation, and the results were satisfactory.
The doctor told him that if he continued to treat and quit smoking, he could expect to survive more than 5 years.
But less than a month after being discharged from the hospital, Li Yafen found that her husband had started smoking again.
She was so angry that she stamped her foot and said, "Why do you not cherish your life so much! Didn't the doctor tell you to quit smoking? You are not afraid of cancer?"
Wang Dalin looked indifferent, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said: "I have lived for most of my life, I can smoke if I want, my life is up to me!"
In fact, studies have shown that smoking is the most important risk factor for lung cancer, with about 80%-90% of lung cancers related to smoking.
If cancer patients continue to smoke, it will not only reduce the effectiveness of treatment, but also increase the risk of postoperative complications and recurrence and metastasis.
Even after cure, smoking significantly increases the incidence of secondary tumors.
On the fourth month after surgery, Wang Dalin was re-examined, and the CT scan found that a small nodule appeared in the upper lobe of the right lung, and it was considered that the possibility of tumor recurrence was very high.
He regretted it and complained about why he didn't listen to his doctor's advice to quit smoking.
His wife was helpless and distressed, so she could only accompany him to continue to fight cancer.
Half a year later, Wang Dalin's condition deteriorated, his whole body metastasized, and his life entered the countdown.
Before dying, he took his wife's hand and said in a weak voice, "I was wrong...... I hope there is no smoke in heaven......" After saying this, he closed his eyes forever.
This tragic and true story speaks volumes about the dangers of smoking.
Especially for cancer patients, quitting smoking is a top priority, which is a matter of life and death.
There is only one life, and everyone must cherish it.
Quit smoking as early as possible, develop healthy lifestyle habits, stay away from cancer, and embrace a healthy life.
As a doctor, I wholeheartedly advise all smokers to quit smoking now for the sake of themselves and their families!
