Ye Liyi is a famous female singer in Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s, and she once became popular all over the country with a song "Shanghai Tang". At that time, everyone could hum a sentence or two of "Waves run, waves ......" and this song also allowed Ye Liyi to directly usher in the peak of her career, almost on the same level as "vanilla beauty" Teresa Teng, and "Shanghai Tang" has also become a classic song in the Chinese music scene.
Just when Ye Liyi's career was booming, a medical examination in the hospital made her suddenly fall into an endless abyss. Due to the long-term high load of participating in various invitations, announcements and concerts, Ye Liyi was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in the hospital. After a pathological examination, the doctor told her with a serious look that the breast lump was malignant and needed immediate surgery.
Hearing the news, Ye Liyi seemed to have been struck by lightning. She stood there in a trance for a moment, how could it be terminal cancer, she didn't believe it, why did this kind of thing happen to her? Ye Liyi's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were red, her whole person was shaky, and she almost staggered out of the hospital.
In fact, as early as half a year ago, she already had symptoms, when she accidentally touched a hard bump on her right breast, but there was no pain when she pressed it, and Ye Liyi didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it should not be a big deal. She was so busy running around all day that she didn't even think about going to the hospital for a check-up.
As a result, now this hard bump actually told her that it was a malignant tumor, and she was 48 years old this year, which was in the golden stage of career development. Ye Liyi couldn't accept this reality no matter what, she washed her face with tears all day long, locked herself in the house and didn't go out, and she even thought about how to write a suicide note. Such an unfortunate blow finally made her emotionally broken, and during that time, Ye Liyi often cried: "Why me?"
Breast cancer is a common tumor that occurs in women, and the incidence rate will gradually increase from the age of 20 years old, and the age of 45-50 years old is the age of high incidence of breast cancer. There are mainly the following categories of people with a family history of breast cancer, people who have no children or late childbearing, people who have early menarche or late menopause, people who are obese, people who are often exposed to radiation, and patients with chronic mental illness, such as depression and anxiety.
In such a situation, Ye Liyi felt desperate, and once wanted to give up treatment. Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly persuaded her, telling her that in clinical practice, there are many examples of cancer patients being cured, and many patients can even return to normal life after treatment. Even breast cancer, which is the most malignant, has a 5-year survival rate of about 50%.
Her husband also comforted her on the side, telling Ye Liyi that he was her strongest backing, so that although she could accept treatment with confidence, she would not have to worry about anything in the future. Hearing this, the tip of Ye Liyi's nose was sour, and tears couldn't stop slipping down. Her husband hurriedly raised his hand to help her carefully wipe away her tears. Ye Liyi made up her mind in her heart that she must fight cancer to the end.
Soon, Ye Liyi underwent a mastectomy. The surgery was so successful that she was treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the advice of her doctor. With the company and support of her husband, Ye Liyi's condition is very well controlled, and even the side effects of chemotherapy rarely appear.
After a period of recuperation, Ye Liyi underwent breast reconstruction surgery again. It didn't take long for her to regain her former spirits. Ye Liyi still can't give up her songs, and she decides to return to the stage again.
In 2021, 74-year-old Ye Liyi will shine on the stage, singing her former famous song "Shanghai Tang", and her style will still be the same. This shocked many people, and they all sighed that Ye Liyi did not look like a person who had suffered from cancer at all, not to mention her singing skills, and she was full of energy.
Now Ye Liyi has been fighting cancer for 26 years, and that cancer experience has taught her to make peace with her body. She began to pay attention to her health and learn all kinds of health knowledge. At the same time, she is also enthusiastic about public welfare, helping many cancer patients like her, so that they can build confidence and rise to the courage to fight against the disease.
Ye Liyi returned to the public eye, many media flocked to report, and some reporters asked her, how did she succeed in fighting cancer and maintain such a good mental outlook, did she use any panacea?
Ye Liyi smiled calmly and said gently: "Where is the panacea, I just summed up these three things in that period of anti-cancer process, I don't need to spend money and effort, I can do it simply, it is precisely because of these three things that I have successfully fought cancer and have persevered until now." ”
The first thing is to stay emotionally stable
In the early days of cancer, Ye Liyi often felt depressed. Later, with the support and companionship of her family, she gradually opened her heart and learned to face her illness and life positively, which played an important role in her recovery. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women are born with the liver. However, due to the increasing pressure in modern society, many women often have liver qi stagnation, which is manifested as long-term depression, anxiety, and irritability. In the long run, it will bring many hidden dangers to the body and increase the risk of disease. Due to long-term emotional failure, the body will have a blockade of qi and organs, and liver loss and leakage will also cause symptoms such as breast tenderness, menstrual irregularities, and dysmenorrhea.
Studies have shown that the anxiety and depression of cancer patients will continue to deepen with the development of the disease, resulting in poor efficacy, weakened immunity, and long-term negative emotions, which will greatly affect the recovery and treatment of patients and reduce the quality of life of patients. Therefore, maintaining emotional stability and facing life with optimism and positivity is the first step in the fight against disease and an important means to prevent cancer.
The second thing is proper exercise
Exercise can promote blood circulation, help improve physical fitness, and enhance immunity. According to research, exercise can promote a smoother flow of qi and blood in the body, which helps to remove toxins and harmful substances from the body. When the body sweats, it can also play a role in dissipating moisture. You can do some simple exercises in your daily life, such as jogging, walking, tai chi, etc. Moderate exercise can regulate the balance of hormones and endocrine in the body, and reduce the risk and probability of various cancers. Cancer patients can arrange appropriate sports programs according to their own conditions, which will help them recover.
The third thing is the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, regular medical check-ups
Integrative medicine can promote faster recovery and better quality of life than patients who choose a single treatment modality. After surgery by Western medicine, the body can be conditioned in the way of traditional Chinese medicine. The principle of TCM anti-cancer is to maintain the balance of the body. Only after the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang can the body return to its original righteousness and defense mechanism, thus promoting the recovery of the body.
Patients can adjust the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang through medicinal diets or Chinese herbal medicines, which can help improve the body's immunity. It is recommended to consult a professional physician to formulate a suitable medicinal diet according to the patient's condition and constitution, which can not only nourish the body, but also promote the recovery of the body. Regular check-ups help to monitor the condition and check for early disease.
All in all, the above three things are worth learning from. In addition, quitting smoking and drinking, avoiding staying up late, getting enough sleep, and eating a nutritious and balanced diet can also help keep the body in a healthy state.
