"Ms. Li, your symptoms of night sweating cannot be ignored, and we need to do further examination."
This is what Dr. Shen said to Li Mingzhu at the Central Hospital.
Li Mingzhu, 53, a librarian by profession, has always worked in a quiet and stressful environment, but in recent months she has often experienced headaches and fevers, especially at night, and often sweats profusely.
At first, Li Mingzhu didn't pay much attention to these symptoms, thinking that they were just a normal manifestation of menopause.
However, as her symptoms continued and intensified, her family became concerned and insisted that she go to the hospital for a check-up.
At the initial consultation, Li Mingzhu had reservations about the doctor's description of her symptoms, and did not fully and honestly reflect the level of her discomfort.
She said lightly that she had "occasional headaches" and brushed off on the profuse sweating of the night.
After detailed inquiries and some initial examinations, Dr. Shen felt that things might not be easy, so he recommended a more comprehensive examination.
After a series of blood tests and imaging tests, the final diagnosis showed that Li Mingzhu had early-stage lymphoma.
This news is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Li Mingzhu and her family.
Dr Sim explained that the early stages of lymphoma often present with painless lymphadenopathy, night sweating, fever and weight loss.
Dr Shen emphasised that although lymphoma is a serious disease, if it can be detected and treated early, the cure rate is relatively high.
He advised Li to start immediate treatment and explained in detail that the treatment options included chemotherapy, radiation and even possible biological therapy.
During the treatment, Li Mingzhu's life changed a lot.
She began to pay more attention to her health and take every treatment seriously.
At the same time, she also records her treatment experience on her blog, hoping to help others by sharing her story.
In the process, Li Mingzhu learned a lot about lymphoma.
For example, although the cause of lymphoma is not fully understood, studies have shown that it is related to viral infections (such as Epstein-Barr virus), immunodeficiency states, chronic inflammatory irritation, and other factors.
She also learns that regular check-ups are essential for early detection of potential health problems.
As the treatment progressed, Li Mingzhu's condition gradually stabilized.
Her story resonated widely among readers, and many gained insight into lymphoma and raised awareness of health through her sharing.
Instead of a traditional summary, the end of the article asks the question:
In the face of a serious disease like lymphoma, how can the public raise awareness of self-protection and timely diagnosis?
A detailed analysis of the issue points out that the public first needs to raise awareness of major diseases and understand the common symptoms and risk factors of these diseases.
Secondly, regular health check-ups should be carried out, especially for those with a family history of the disease.
At the same time, any unusual physical changes should not be disguised or ignored, and timely consultation with a doctor and corresponding examinations are key.
Through education and public awareness, we can be more effective in preventing and fighting lymphoma and other serious diseases.
