"A single tumor can kill a person, what if there are thousands?"
In 2023, a 22-year-old girl is curled up in a hospital bed in Beijing, and nearly 1,000 tumors appear in her body.
The tumors all over her body made her unable to stand in pain, and as the tumors grew wantonly, she faced not only lifelong paralysis, but also the possibility of death...
However, what made her despair the most was not these tumors, but her father's indifference and desperation.
When she needed the company of her relatives the most, she was empty, and her father bluntly said that the family had no money and refused to take money to treat her.
But only a girl in her early 20s wants to live, but without money, can she survive in the face of such a terrible disease?
Now that a year has passed, how is this girl with thousands of tumors in her body?
(The information in this article is from official media, and it has been repeated at the end)
Erosion of thousands of tumors
The words "neurofibromatosis" were the first time Dandan heard them when he was 22 years old.
When she held the examination report, she didn't even know how sick she was, and she could only feel that the dense "bubbles" on the film looked a little dazzling.
At the age of 22, when the body is at its most healthy, no one would have thought that their body would have a "terminal illness".
It wasn't until the doctor told her that the "bubbles" weren't part of her body, but a tumor, that Dandan's eyes widened in disbelief.
She trembled and cautiously asked the doctor, is there any salvation for herself?
In fact, the doctor did not dare to give a positive answer to Dandan's physical condition, there have been lives saved by the same disease, and there are also cases of death in just a few years.
After returning from the hospital, Dandan dragged his tired body, looked at the only money left in his wallet, and fell into a tangle, to cure or not to treat?
If it is treated, this disease will definitely be like a bottomless pit, constantly exhausting the money on her body, if she is not treated, will she watch herself die?
At that moment she was scared, she dialed her father's phone and called him for help for the first time.
Although her father almost didn't care about herself since she was a child, she still had a glimmer of hope for her father, but then her father's words once again dragged her into the abyss...
"I don't have any money, it's hard for you to get sick"
The short sentence seemed to be expected by Dandan, but when he heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but shed tears.
In Dandan's impression, his father almost never cared about himself, whether he was sick or injured, the first thing he worried about was "money".
I'm afraid that he will ask for money for treatment, and I'm afraid that this daughter will drag him down.
Dandan has been cared for by her grandmother since she was a child, and although her grandmother is hunched and white-headed, she is like a big tree that gives her countless feelings of security.
But the death of her grandmother a few years ago made her fall into despair, as if the only person in the world who loved her had "left ruthlessly".
Looking at his body dragging a tumor, Dandan thought more than once about it.
She wants to live but has no money, she wants to live but no one cares, she wants to live but her illness doesn't give her a chance to live.
Faced with such a situation, Dandan did not go to the hospital for several months, until the physical pain was no longer unbearable, until she walked from being supported to being unable to walk.
During that time, as soon as she lay down, it was like hundreds of insects were biting her body, and her legs could not be spread out in pain, and she didn't sleep for a day.
As the doctor said at the beginning, Dandan's body was going to be paralyzed, and at that time, she only had her upper body at her disposal, and her lower body hurt every time she moved.
In the back, she couldn't straighten her legs, so she could only lie on the bed with her legs curled up, and the sound of the clock seemed to tell her that life was counting down.
This kind of life seemed meaningless to Dandan, and she did not hesitate to swallow a whole jar of sleep aids.
Fortunately, even though Dandan's friends found out that something was wrong with her, they immediately sent her to the hospital for gastric lavage.
It was also this time that God seemed to have given the girl a chance to meet a doctor who was willing to help her unconditionally.
And Dandan's fate was rewritten...
Relive Again: Can You Beat a Tumor?
After being pulled back from the Ghost Gate, Dandan lay weakly on the hospital bed, with no light in her eyes, as if the world had abandoned her.
And this time, during the whole process from Dandan being sent to the hospital to treatment, in addition to her friends, there was also a village doctor, Brother Zuo, who was in the village.
When he learned what happened to Dandan, his heart was sour, his daughter was about the same age as Dandan, and he couldn't imagine how helpless he would be if something like this happened to his daughter.
In this regard, Brother Zuo chose to help this girl without hesitation, but he knew that the power of one person was slim.
So while contacting Beijing Hospital, he posted Dandan's deeds on the Internet, hoping to get more help from caring people from the outside world.
After running up and down for a few days, Brother Zuo came to Beijing with Dandan, Dandan never dreamed that he would be able to come to Beijing in his life, let alone in this way.
With the help of Brother Zuo, Dandan met Dr. Wu, who had been operated on for this disease.
When Dr. Wu saw Dandan's tumors all over his body, he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat for this girl, if it was delayed for a while, it would be difficult to save the immortals.
From the full body examination to finalizing how to perform the surgery, Dr. Goh's team only took three days, and they also decided to give Dandan the surgery for free.
However, one of the most important steps to confirm the operation is that Dandan's father needs to sign it.
In this regard, Dandan dialed her father's phone with a nervous heart, when she said that she was going to see a doctor in Beijing and was going to have surgery.
His father was silent, as if he was weighing how much the operation would cost him, but Dandan didn't ask him for money, but hoped that he would come over and sign it.
"You tell the doctor that if the money is expensive, you can't get it, and my family has no money."
Dandan held back the tears rolling in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said that this time the operation did not cost her, and people did it for her for free, as long as she came over and signed.
When he heard that there was no need to spend money, Dandan's father seemed to be relieved and decisively agreed.
The next day, Dandan's father appeared in the hospital in Beijing, and after signing it, he didn't even think about seeing his daughter's face, so he planned to go back and quickly collect his wheat.
In the face of such an indifferent father, a girl who accompanied Dandan to the operation couldn't stand it anymore, hoping that he could take a look at Dandan and wait until she was done before going back.
Seeing that there were so many people staring at him around him, Dandan's father reluctantly agreed to their proposal.
When they saw Dandan, the two barely communicated, and the father was more like a person who had completed the task, casually inquired about her condition, and left in a hurry.
For Dandan, this operation is related to whether she can live, and the moment she was pushed into the operating room, she looked at Dr. Wu's determined eyes and felt at ease for the first time.
During the five-hour operation, Dandan's life hung in the balance every second.
Until 30 tumors tightly intertwined with nerves were successfully removed, this struggle between life and death, Dandan finally survived.
After the operation, it is only unknown whether he will return to normal or face paralysis, and this process is extremely difficult for Dandan.
The only thing that makes Dandan happy is that her legs no longer have to curl up, and the pain in her body is gradually subsiding.
Throughout the process of recovery, Dandan has been encouraged by countless people, but none of these people are her relatives, but they care more about her than her relatives.
After being discharged from the hospital in Beijing, Dandan returned to his rental house in the company of his friends.
Because the pain in her body was gradually weakening, after half a year, she could finally lie flat on the bed and get a good night's sleep.
In the past 4 months, Dandan has gone from being unable to stand and walk and lift his hands to hold things, to being able to stand up independently with his support, to being able to walk normally.
The recovery of all this was like a miracle for her, and this miracle was a chance for her to be reborn by God.
also made her see that there are still so many strangers in this world who care about her.
Effort Activation
It took only 4 months from surgery to recovery Dandan, but it also took 4 months from recovery to recurrence of the tumor.
In March this year, Dandan updated on his social platform that after the removal of part of the tumor after surgery, other parts of the body showed signs of recurrence.
It was so serious that she couldn't lift her hands, and she couldn't stand on her legs again, she doubted God's cruelty to her, and she also doubted whether there was a saying that "bitter first and then sweet".
Because he experienced the horror of life and death, this time Dandan also accepted the result calmly.
She cut her long hair short so that she could take care of herself and wash her hair more easily.
She started running from Henan to Dandan in Beijing, and Dr. Wu also told her that it was because the tumor had grown larger and pressed on the nerves in her body again, so it caused pain in her body.
Dandan still needs to meet her second surgery, and the process of future treatment is still very long, but this time she will not back down, and she will not let go of any opportunity to be treated.
Fortunately, during this period, many netizens helped her, so that she did not feel so much helplessness in the process of treatment.
I hope that this girl can get rid of the torture of illness as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible and return to her former energetic state!
