Zhang Wei, 38, is a sales manager. For months, he found himself tired, wheezing, and coughing, sometimes with blood.
But he didn't care, it was just caused by high work pressure and irregular life.
It wasn't until a physical examination that showed a large shadow in his right lung that Zhang Wei realized the seriousness of the situation. After further examination such as CT and sputum cytology, the doctor finally diagnosed him with adenocarcinoma of the right lung, which was already at an advanced stage.
Dr. Liu, the director of the respiratory department, said regretfully, "If we had paid attention to it earlier and sought medical attention in time, maybe the disease would not have progressed to this point." "
Zhang Wei broke down and cried, regretting it: "I felt uncomfortable for a long time, but I always felt that it would not be a big problem, so I didn't go to check." It's okay now, it's completely late......"
Dr. Liu told Zhang Wei that the symptoms of lung cancer are often not obvious in the early stage, but they are not traceless. The four most common signs are: persistent cough, blood in the sputum, chest pain, and wheezing. "
Many patients treat these symptoms as colds and asthma, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and a missed time for treatment. "
In addition to ignoring the symptoms, another important reason was that he had been a long-term smoker. "You've been smoking for 20 years, aren't you?" Dr. Lau asked.
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I know that smoking is not good, but there is a lot of work and entertainment, and everyone is smoking, so I will follow suit." Didn't expect ......"
"Smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer." "Cigarette smoke contains more than 60 carcinogens, and long-term inhalation can seriously damage the respiratory tract, leading to genetic mutations that can induce lung cancer.
If you get lung cancer at your age, it's probably tobacco. "
Zhang Wei was at a loss: "I'm in the late stage, can I still be cured?" "
Dr. Lau comforted him and said, "Don't be discouraged. Nowadays, the treatment methods of lung cancer are constantly improving, such as immunotherapy, targeted drugs, etc., even advanced lung cancer, as long as active cooperation, can greatly prolong the survival time. "
With the encouragement of the doctor, Zhang Wei sorted out his emotions and regained his confidence. He secretly made up his mind: for the sake of his family and himself, he must actively cooperate with the treatment, even if the family is bankrupt, he must be cured.
"I really regret it now, if only I had listened to my wife and quit smoking. And I feel unwell, and I always drag it out and don't go to the checkup, which is really careless......"
Dr. Liu advised Zhang Wei to stay away from tobacco and develop good living habits after recovery.
"I hope my experience can serve as a warning to more people." Zhang Wei choked up and said, "Don't treat life as a child's play like me."
Zhang Wei's experience once again sounded the alarm: lung cancer, the "invisible killer", has quietly threatened our health.
Of course, we must be vigilant and seek medical attention in a timely manner; It is also necessary to prevent tobacco from the source and develop a healthy lifestyle.
Write at the end
In the face of the threat of lung cancer, we cannot take it lightly, but there is no need to talk about "cancer" discoloration.
Let us walk hand in hand, with a scientific attitude and positive actions, to save lives, to protect health, and to give ourselves and our families a future without regrets.
