Wang Gang, a programmer in his early 30s, spends his days in front of a computer.
Heavy work tasks and long hours of overtime often keep him busy until late at night before he can go home.
Over time, Wang Gang noticed that his left shoulder began to show soreness, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first.
I just think it may be caused by too much work intensity recently, and I should be able to get better after taking a break.
However, instead of relieving, the pain in the left shoulder has become more severe. Sometimes, Wang Gang even feels a little numb and weak in his left arm.
He was a little worried at first, but he didn't want to delay his work, so he endured not going to the hospital for a check-up.
Until one morning, Wang Gang found that his left shoulder was so painful that he could barely move, and he couldn't even put on clothes.
Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation and decided to take leave to go to the hospital. At the hospital, Wang Gang described his symptoms to doctors.
The doctor carefully inquired about his work and living habits, and learned that he had been engaged in the high-intensity mental work of a programmer for a long time.
I need to work at my desk for more than ten hours a day, lack of exercise, and eat irregularly.
After listening to Wang Gang's account, the doctor suggested that he do some tests, including X-rays, CT scans, etc., to check for more serious problems.
After the results of the examination, doctors found that Wang Gang had a lump on his left shoulder blade, about 2 centimeters in size.
According to the doctor's analysis, the lump at this location is likely to be a malignant tumor.
Wang Gang was advised to be hospitalized as soon as possible for further examination and treatment. Hearing the word "malignant tumor", Wang Gang felt that the world was spinning.
He never thought that a young man in his 30s would get cancer?
Moreover, it was unbelievable that a tumor was detected just because of such a seemingly ordinary symptom as shoulder pain.
At the doctor's suggestion, Wang Gang went through the procedures for hospitalization, and in the morning, he had a biopsy, and in the afternoon the doctor told him.
The biopsy results confirmed that this was a malignant tumor, and it had progressed to the middle and advanced stages, and the situation was very unoptimistic.
The doctor said that surgery to remove the tumor should be arranged as soon as possible, and combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but even so, the prognosis is not optimistic.
Wang Gang felt hopeless and helpless. He didn't know how to deal with the sudden blow, and he didn't know how to tell his family the bad news.
Just as he was in deep pain and confusion, his condition deteriorated dramatically. In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Gang passed away at the age of 35.
Wang Gang's experience sounded the alarm for everyone. His tragedy teaches us that any physical discomfort, even if it seems mild, should not be taken lightly.
The early symptoms of many serious diseases are not obvious, but if they can be detected and treated in time, the chances of cure can often be greatly improved.
And if the best time for treatment is missed, tragedy is likely to occur.
Wang Gang's experience also reflects that there are many health risks in the way modern people live and work.
Long-term sedentary, lack of exercise, staying up late and working overtime, irregular diet, etc., may lay hidden dangers for the occurrence of diseases.
This reminds us that while being busy, we must learn to arrange our time reasonably, ensure adequate rest and exercise, and develop healthy living habits.
In addition, regular medical check-ups are also necessary. Many people feel that they are young and strong, and there is no obvious physical discomfort.
I don't want to spend time on physical examination, but I don't know that many diseases have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and only through professional physical examination can they be detected and treated in time.
We only have one life, and health is our most valuable asset.
Each of us should be aware of the importance of health and learn to listen to the signals sent by the body once the problem is detected.
Seek professional medical help in a timely manner, and do not leave it to chance, let alone allow your condition to deteriorate for work or other reasons.
Only by taking care of our bodies and paying attention to our health can we have a fulfilling, happy and meaningful life.
Let's take Wang Gang's experience as a lesson and from now on, cultivate a healthy lifestyle, undergo regular medical check-ups, and raise health awareness.
I hope that in the future, there will never be a young life that will pay the price of life because of temporary neglect or carelessness.
Let us work together to love and cherish life with a positive attitude towards life, and create a better future.
