Cancer and me

Just like Adam in the movie "The Anti-Cancer Me", I don't smoke or drink, and then I basically get into the habit of going to bed at 11 o'clock. Even if I eat three meals a day irregularly, I would not expect to suffer such a big disease.

I am now nearly 26 years old. I was diagnosed with cancer this summer... Even though I have undergone five chemotherapy sessions so far, I still can’t believe it is true. When I heard this news, I also had tinnitus for a while, and I couldn't bear it at all. Everything was very sudden, and I still remember that a week before the onset of illness, I went to the swimming pool with my classmates to swim and go for a walk in other cities. On Sunday, I felt a little pain to walk behind my buttocks, thinking it was a strain on my muscles and bones. On Monday, the back pain is a pain I have never experienced in my life, and at this time, I have not realized that after this, I will experience a long period of physical and mental pain. During the week that I was in bed, I went to a small clinic with restraint, and the doctor thought it was a sports injury. While walking on the road, people looked on with strange eyes-because I was walking too slowly, and it seemed very difficult. On Saturday, the entire left leg was completely purple and swollen and was dragged away by an ambulance. After a series of examinations, the doctor finally said to me very tactfully: "You have something in your body that shouldn't exist."

I am suffering from primitive neuroectodermal tumor (primitive neuroectodermal tumor). This is a tumor that is rare in the world. After the lesion is in the abdominal cavity, it presses into the large blood vessels. Fortunately in misfortune, I did not have it in my mind. This is also a 1% probability in this case. After watching the movie, I also checked the survival rate. There are two versions on Wikipedia. One is 8%. One is 35%. It is a highly malignant tumor.

Everything came very, very suddenly and quickly. It's just that in just one or two days, you must make a decision about the things of your life, even if you are still alive. A younger brother who was 3 years older than me relapsed and saw off his leg. When he said these things, when he made these decisions, it was very plain, and he also said that he should consider how to change careers. The same 20-year-old youth told me that he had bone cancer when he was 14 years old, and it has been 6 years now. There is a huge winged angel tattooed on the back. It's very sad to tell you that he wants to drive, because only in this way, it seems that life is in charge of himself. Not long ago, I heard that he had passed away like that. When a person is alive in front of you, saying this and that and eating, and only a week later, it is really cruel. Who knows if you are saying the last word to me.

After this experience, everyone has a lifelong injury. In this way, no one will pack a ticket for you, saying that it will be cured. And despite this, these decisions must be accepted.

Every cancer patient always has more or less fantasies, hoping to get better soon. However, I often expect that it is not as smooth as I imagined. After the third chemotherapy, the doctor told me that the tumor had basically not shrunk. Later, it was found that the third bone of the lumbar spine was eroded. Later, when it comes to them, they carefully looked at the CT results and found that there were signs of cancer cell death inside the tumor, and alone, there is no percentage that can be given. But the good news is that chemotherapy is working, at least, it won’t get bigger anymore. The latest news is that I will have a huge operation. The whole large blood vessels are completely removed and replaced with artificial ones, and one of the spine bones will also be replaced and removed together with the tumor. After radiotherapy, I hope to tell the tumor that I will never see it.

    It turned into a tear gas in the last thirty minutes, and the ending was warm and warm.

    It's another American sketch that people can't put it down. Sai Pang continues to be full-time funny, Ji Cerf performs desperately, and the chemical reaction between the two is really perfect! The whole film is humorous but delicate, sad but optimistic, "I want to be your girlfriend" and "I want to sleep with you". The love between Sai Pang and Ji Zefu is so warm and loving! In the second half of the film, I laughed and cried, cried and laughed. I really like Fatty and Ah-囧~\(≧▽≦)/~
