Lying on the hospital bed, Mr. Pu has a thin and haggard face, and this year is the second year he has fought against the disease. In August 2022, he had persistent headaches for no reason, which was unbearable for a day and a night, and he was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after going to the hospital.
According to doctors, lymphoma is a malignant tumor disease derived from the immune system, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common aggressive malignant lymphoma, and about 40% of patients have a high possibility of recurrence after early chemotherapy.
Yang Hui, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Hematology, Shunde Hospital, Southern Medical University:
There are more than 100 types of lymphomas, and aggressive malignant lymphoma is the most common of all lymphomas, and about 60% of our patients can be cured by immunochemotherapy. However, this patient's tumor was very difficult to treat, and it recurred less than two months after transplantation.
The most serious recurrence occurred in August last year, when the cancer cells metastasized to Mr. Pu's liver, and his stomach bulged out, causing him to bleed heavily.
Mr. Pu:
I had two relapses in total, and last year, I had a relapse and my liver was bleeding profusely, and my stomach was full of blood. This time it relapsed into the brain, and after the recurrence, my head hurt very much, my hands hurt very much, and I didn't have any strength.
Since his diagnosis, Mr. Pu has needed frequent medication, and the cost of drugs for the treatment of lymphoma is high, but fortunately, he enrolled in the "Health Buddha Medical Insurance" in April last year. During hospitalization, some self-paid drugs that are not covered by the medical insurance catalog can be reimbursed by the Health and Buddha Medical Insurance. For example, a new type of drug used by Mr. Pu in his recent treatment can effectively control the deterioration of the condition, but a course of treatment costs more than 40,000 yuan.
At present, Mr. Pu's body is still in the recovery period, and he can continue treatment only when his body recovers. When it comes to the road ahead, he is confident.
Up to now, the total medical expenses spent on Mr. Pu's treatment are as high as 375,400 yuan, of which 108,600 yuan have been reimbursed by medical insurance and serious illness, plus 129,600 yuan of one-stop settlement and compensation of "Health and Buddha Medical Insurance", and finally the personal medical expenses have been reduced to 137,200 yuan, with a reduction rate of 48.58%.
The doctor said that he is now ready to give Mr. Pu a more effective new treatment, and Mr. Pu also laughed that he is ready to fight the disease again, and with the burden reduction of health and Buddha medical insurance, he is more confident to face the follow-up treatment.
