Now that he had made up his mind to let his grandfather see a doctor, Chen Jiali prepared his father's case thoroughly.
A bulging document package, with various checklists arranged according to the stage of the disease, with paper clips at the top of the page to classify them. The earliest medical record papers already looked a little old, and some were even slightly moldy.
Cases of mold-growing cancer are rare, and the survival rate of most cancer patients is very short.
Even among various types of cancer, the five-year survival rate of early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer is more than 80%. However, it is difficult to detect nasopharyngeal cancer in the early stage. Statistics are very inaccurate. Most patients are not diagnosed until they are in the middle and late stages. , by this time, the five-year survival rate drops to 50%, which means that half of the patients are facing death.
Moldy cases give people a sense of awe and joy for life.
Chen Jiali hurriedly shook the medical record and said with an embarrassed smile: "I was shocked when I went back. It was clearly placed in the bookcase in my hometown, but the south is too humid. You have never seen the power of returning to the south..."
Zhou Shouming took the case and sat on the edge of the flower bed. The nurse from the Central Hospital thoughtfully brought a cushion and came over curiously.
The day before yesterday, Mr. Chen came for consultation, and they saw it. Although Zhou Shouming didn't say anything was wrong at the time, his views on cancer were refreshing.
Qinzhong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine lags behind in the domestic traditional Chinese medicine industry, but it is also ranked in the top 60, Grade 3A. Why does the director conduct joint free clinics with such a private clinic? It speaks volumes. Mr. Zhou must have great A capable person.
Grandpa read the cases very carefully. From the first page, he saw that the test data of Western medicine is irreplaceable. Today’s traditional Chinese medicine doctors can’t afford their jobs if they can’t read the test sheets.
At first, everyone was looking forward to Zhou Shouming's speech. However, as time went on, the old man turned the pages too slowly and seemed to want to read from beginning to end. His patience was exhausted unconsciously.
Chen Jiali couldn't bear his temper. He looked around outside the park, found the target, and said to Zhou Sheng: "Beautiful boy, let the old man see the medical records first. I will go to the convenience store outside to buy some water. I will be back in five minutes... This weather It makes the person who did it feel uncomfortable.”
With that said, Chen Jiali turned his head and walked away, taking out a tissue and rubbing his nose as he walked.
Zhou Shengsheng looked at him and hesitated to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them. Then his eyes fell on Mr. Chen again, and he began to think deeply...
That is to say, just after Chen Jiali left, Zhou Shouming, who was halfway through the case list, spoke up: "Brother, I was diagnosed very early. I read in the medical record that it was because I felt short of breath that I went for a checkup?"
Chen Jiali was not here, and Mr. Chen was a little confused. Originally, his son could still describe his condition, so he had to ask the nurse to take out a pen and paper and start to reply: "When I was young, I smoked, one and a half packs a day. I had bronchitis in my forties. At that time I thought I had an illness and went to the hospital, but unexpectedly, I found a tumor that was pressing against the tracheal opening. After my condition worsened, I underwent tracheal surgery..."
Cancer was detected during the diagnosis and treatment of bronchitis. I have to say that Mr. Chen is really lucky.
There are three pathological types of nasopharyngeal cancer, ascending, descending, and mixed (upper and lower). Chen Lao's case is descending nasopharyngeal cancer. The tumor grows downward. The most obvious symptom is that it compresses the trachea and hinders breathing. It is easier to be infected. Discover.
It's painful when it goes up, and it keeps growing without anyone noticing until it compresses the cranial nerve, which is the feeling of a splitting headache. Most nasopharyngeal cancer patients who have headaches are basically in the middle and late stages, and are directly facing the 50%
probability of death.
The mixed type is easier to find, but it is also the most troublesome. Even if it is discovered early, it will torture the patient in two ways: headache, difficulty breathing, and slow effectiveness of chemotherapy. Even after most of the tumor has been eliminated, residual removal surgery is required.
It's also a big problem.
After Mr. Chen handed over a note, he did not stop writing. After finishing writing, he handed it to his grandfather with a smile: "Sometimes, people have to believe in fate. Like me, at such an old age, I am still alive and well.
It’s inconvenient to talk. Of the patients who were in the same ward with me at the time, only two are left now, and the other one is still in the ward. They are not as cool and comfortable as I am.”
Optimistic, Mr. Chen is really optimistic.
After tracheotomy, life is inconvenient, and you can also have similar thoughts of self-comfort. It is better to have more than less than to have more.
Emotional issues are also helpful for the prognosis. It is no exaggeration to say that some people suffer from cancer not because they cannot control it, but because they scare themselves to death. Emotional instability is not just a psychological problem, it is a serious emotional disorder.
It can lead to endocrine problems, which are physiological changes caused by psychology.
As for the theory of numerology, Zhou Yisheng is unconvinced.
He doesn't believe in fate, but sometimes life is really wonderful, otherwise how could he get the system?
But when it comes to illness, external factors are obviously greater than numerology.
"Mr. Chen, do you have a family history? Have your father, grandfather, or ancestors ever had nasopharyngeal cancer?"
Mr. Chen was stunned by Zhou Sheng's question.
Grandpa Zhou Shouming also raised his head and looked at his grandson. He already understood what he wanted to say, but waved his hand: "Cancer is hereditary, but that is a conclusion from a genetic perspective and has no actual reference value."
Grandpa actually doesn’t know much about this aspect, so his explanation is not detailed. He only knows the relevant logical arguments.
Indeed, cancer is not hereditary. Otherwise, such a large base of cancer patients would have reduced the earth's population long ago. It would be more terrible than infectious diseases and directly affect reproductive problems.
However, my grandfather didn’t know that some cancers have a ‘genetic susceptibility’, and the probability of getting the disease is much higher than that of ordinary people. Under the same living environment, cells are more likely to become cancerous.
There is a genetic susceptibility to nasopharyngeal cancer.
Why did Zhou Sheng ask this? It’s definitely not without reason.
After the A-level system was upgraded, Mr. Chen's inspection results added an in-depth analysis, with only one sentence -
It was detected that the patient had a genetic mutation of nasopharyngeal cancer and was susceptible to it.
Be careful to prevent possible occurrence of related diseases in vertical and horizontal family members.
Being able to detect genetic mutations, this system is simply amazing.
The reason why Mr. Chen has a genetic mutation of nasopharyngeal cancer is because his genes come from the previous generation, that is, his parents.
Nasopharyngeal cancer not only has genetic susceptibility, but also racial susceptibility and geographical concentration.
The incidence rate among yellow people is significantly higher than that among white people.
People with a family history of the disease have a higher incidence rate than the general population.
A more interesting data shows that Laoguang is the hardest hit area for nasopharyngeal cancer in the country. The number of new nasopharyngeal cancer patients in Laoguang alone reaches more than 2,000 every year. This data is still increasing year after year.
.
What is even more exaggerated is that in a Hakka area in a southern county, there was a record of a family of thirteen suffering from nasopharyngeal cancer.
Lao Guang, who is passionate about health care, is also an ‘enthusiast’ for nasopharyngeal cancer.
Is nasopharyngeal cancer hereditary?
The answer is yes.
But judging from the data, this situation is no less than a genetic effect.
At this moment, Mr. Chen's answer arrived. It was written clearly on the note: "Yes, my mother and aunt both have it. Is this disease really hereditary?"
Mr. Chen's expression was obviously uneasy...
Grandpa had just said that it was not hereditary, but when such a probability was before his eyes, he was dumbfounded.
And what amazed Zhou Sheng even more was...
Before Chen Jiali went to buy water, the system had already given him a test report.
The result is very sad.
"Nasopharyngeal cancer, stage one."
"Descending tumor growth, high risk assessment..."
Although Qinzhong is in the north, the climate is not so dry that it makes people uncomfortable.
Perhaps the air in Qinzhong is more interesting than in most parts of the country. After a winter of heating equipment operation, it is said that Qinzhong uses plastic bags to heat the air. The sky is dotted with dark yellow mist with regional characteristics, like a fighting emperor.
Exuding a strong hazy fighting spirit...
But it would be an exaggeration to say that dryness can cause a southerner to have a nosebleed.
Zhou Sheng is very troubled now, how to solve this matter.
Our book finally has a leader. Xiao San is very excited. Thank you to my friend Silver Shield Knight for the leader reward. I will work harder and add another chapter for you tomorrow.
