"Mom and Dad, please help me!" In a rental house near a hospital in Beijing's Daxing district, there were continuous groans of pain from boys. The late October sun poured in through the window, and on the bed in the shade was a skinny boy in a vest. The boy's name is He Yuhao, and his forehead bulges up with several large bags, and the roots of green tendons can be followed, as if he is like a "little monster" from an alien planet, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly. The picture shows a family of three in a rental house.
Yu Hao's parched torso was weakly placed on the bed. Due to radiation therapy stimulating the metastasis of the body tumor, Yu Hao's body was in pain, and the thin clothing cloth on his body felt unbearable. After a long time of positioning his limbs, he could not breathe, and he moaned uncomfortably. The child's father, He Jun, rushed over to him, gently picked up the child on the bed, helped him adjust his posture, put the pillow, and then changed the infusion tube at the head of the bed again, yuhao gradually stopped moaning and lay down quietly. The picture shows Yu Hao on the hospital bed.

Radiation therapy stimulates tumor metastasis, the darkest and most dangerous moments
"Four months ago, Hao hao was still the same as the other children, and now he has become like this, and I am afraid that the child will leave without paying attention..." He Jun's eyes were red. His son, He Yuhao, is ten years old, and the scarred boy has been battling neuroblastoma for seven years. Along the way to seek medical treatment, the storms and ups and downs continued, but Yu Hao was strong enough to survive, but this tumor metastasis and sudden infection crushed Yu Hao hard.
In only two or three months, the tumors in Yu Hao's body had shifted from the chest cavity to his waist and head, and the bulging bag on his forehead was constantly compressing the brain nerves, and the pain in his whole body was unbearable.

Yuhao's weight also plummeted, from more than 30 kilograms to 25 kilograms. Every day, the child can only lie powerlessly in bed, unable to move, relying on infusions and taking bitter medicine to maintain life. "The hospital has issued two critical illness notices two days ago, but the child's vitality is very tenacious, he has survived, and now is the most difficult moment." He Jun said.

The rental house is full of cockroaches
Yu hao was only three years old when he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. "Life has only just begun, and I have such a terrible disease." He Jun and his wife dried their tears, accompanied the child throughout the whole process, accompanied the child to the hospital, checked, and took care of the child's diet and living. After Yuhao began chemotherapy, the cells were reduced across the board, the resistance decreased, and he could not eat the convenience foods he bought, and he needed to cook them by his parents. "We must always be careful to prevent our children from getting infected." Yuhao's mother Yang Qinqin said.
At that time, they had just arrived in Beijing for chemotherapy, and because they could not afford to rent an expensive house, He Jun and his wife rented a dilapidated small bedroom shared by many people near the hospital. "We didn't know cockroaches before, but when we went there, there were flocks of cockroaches. During the day it was fine, and at night, after the lights went out, piles of cockroaches ran around the kitchen, and many would crawl to the bed. At that time, we did not dare to turn off the lights and go to sleep every night, because as soon as we slept, cockroaches would climb on our faces and quilts. Yang Qinqin recalled those days and said with a bitter smile. The picture shows Yu Hao before this relapse.
In 2017, Yu Hao completed two years and four cycles of chemotherapy, underwent tumor resection surgery, and the fist-sized tumor was removed from the child's abdomen, and He Jun and his wife were extremely distressed. However, the tumor was not removed, and then the child underwent four cycles of chemotherapy, received stem cell transplantation and radiation therapy, and after the transplantation, the child returned home to recuperate.

Nearly seventy years old grandpa taught his grandson to read in self-taught textbooks
Yu Hao was recuperating at home during that time, looking at the children who went to school by the window and were envious. In order to satisfy Yuhao's desire to read and write, the 68-year-old grandfather trembled and picked up the text, first learned it himself, and then taught Yuhao. Grandpa was old, but he worked tirelessly to study and teach Yuhao one stroke at a time. Whenever Grandpa came up with a question, Yu Hao scored 100 points, he would triumphantly say to his parents and parents: "Look at my intelligence, I have taken another 100 points." ”
Once, Yuho met a child of the same age in the park and told him that he was going to school at home and that his grandfather taught him. I didn't expect the child to say to him, "You're so pathetic, you can only go to school at home." The fairy tale was unscrupulous, but it deeply stung Yu Hao's heart. After returning home that time, Yuhao asked his mother, "Why do they say that I am so pitiful that I can only go to school at home?" Yang Qinqin comforted him: "It's okay, when you are well, you can also go to school." "But the child's illness is seven years." The picture shows He Jun comforting his son.

Recurrence, recurrence again
He Jun and his wife thought that the child was about to be cured, and only needed follow-up medicine to control it, but they did not expect that in 2017, Yuhao did a bone piercing that was particularly painful, and the results showed signs of recurrence. A recurrence means that the child's two years of hard work have been burned to the ground. "The feeling of falling from heaven into hell all of a sudden, a stick back to square one." The recurrent children we saw before didn't take long to be treated, and we were worried and scared all the time. He Jun choked up.
In order to curb the recurrence, Yuhao did cart immunotherapy, spent a lot of money, and rested for three months. In 2018, Yu Hao's health deteriorated and he could no longer receive chemotherapy, so He Jun began to boil Chinese medicine for the child to drink. He traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai to prescribe Chinese medicine to his children, soup medicine needs to be drunk three times a day, powder medicine needs to eat 6 grams a day. Because the powder medicine was too bitter, He Jun bought empty capsules for the child, put the powder into it every day, and gave it to the child to eat, and there were 18 capsules in 6 grams of medicine.

"At first, the child couldn't eat it, but then he got used to it." He Jun said. In this way, Yuhao insisted on drinking for a year, until 2019, after doing various tests, it was confirmed that it recurred again. The doctor's news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day that slammed into the heads of He Jun and his wife, making them dizzy and unable to stand. "Looking at the child who is bouncing around in front of us, we don't dare to tell him this cruel fact, at the age of seven, after four years of medical treatment, the child has not yet had time to enter the school, and he has to start going to the hospital for treatment." The picture shows He Jun dispensing medicine to his child.

Three years of chemotherapy suffered a major setback, and once became a "little monster"
Having come such a long way, how could He Jun and his wife be willing to give up. The tumors penetrated the bone marrow and could not be removed by transplantation again, and they had to continue chemotherapy. Another 3 years have passed, Yuhao has been treated once a month, and so far he has received 38 chemotherapy treatments. Yuhao's condition was good before June, until the last two radiotherapy treatments, the child's condition took a sharp turn for the worse.
Yu Hao seemed to be better, He Jun picked up the child, put two pillows on the back, he said he wanted to play with toys, He Jun helped him take it. The white plastic bag contains many strangely shaped little monsters. "It's all put together by the child himself, and every time he finishes radiation therapy and bone piercing, he wants to come back quickly to do the handicraft." Children are very smart and can fight on their own without teaching. He also has a good memory, but he has never had the opportunity to go to school. Yang Qinqin said. The picture shows that Yu Hao made a lot of small monsters.
In the past ten years, Yuhao has never been to school, from the age of three to ten years old has been spent in the hospital, he has no friends, no classmates, only his "little monster" and him as friends, but at this moment Yuhao's appearance is tormented by tumors, has shed the appearance of a normal child, become like the appearance of the little monster in his hand. But he was desperate to go home, to go to school. The picture shows a small monster made by Yu Hao.

I've only done one thing in seven years
"From being sick at the age of three to being ten now, seven years has been spent on him, and in so many years, he has done this one thing - to save the life of his child." Yang Qinqin cried. He Jun's family, from an ordinary rural family in Liulin County, Shanxi Province, has been unable to work normally since their son fell ill, and only goes out to do odd jobs and earn some living expenses when their children are better off. After seven years of treatment, the He Jun family spent nearly 1 million yuan.
Doctors have told He Jun that children can only hope for immunotherapy, but immunotherapy is expensive, treatment requires huge costs, and they only have chemotherapy to wait for the immune needle to be listed. In order to keep their children alive, He Jun and his wife cobbled together to borrow money, "At that time, they dialed the phone one by one according to the address book, and borrowed money one by one." Listening to the child's situation, some good relationships will borrow, and some will directly say that there is no money. "With the help of relatives, friends and caring people, they have survived one ups and downs, and they have owed nearly 300,000 foreign debts. The picture shows He Jun and his wife taking care of their son.
At present, Yuhao is undergoing anti-infection treatment and intensive nutrition therapy, which is the most difficult hurdle now, and the child has survived two months, and there are about three months left. However, Yu Hao's monthly treatment expenses reached 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the He Jun family was already in debt. Up to now, He Jun's relatives and friends have long been unable to borrow, Yuhao's situation is critical, and hereby asks all caring people to save Yuhao.
