Round eyes turn flexibly on the white face, and Xing Xia walks briskly, wearing a striped sweater, a silver pleated skirt and a shawl, and wearing silver walking shoes, which is fashionable and bright. "Nothing like a patient" is her first impression.
However, she is a stage IV lung adenocarcinoma patient. When she was diagnosed in September 212, she couldn't even operate a knife. Within a few months, her condition deteriorated rapidly, and she could not stop coughing for 2 minutes. She had to put a tube through her back to pump water into her lungs to relieve shortness of breath. The doctor told her parents privately, "Be mentally prepared." Recalling that her parents were heartbroken but didn't dare to show it, she forced a smile on her face, and Xing Xia was still emotional. In 215, cancer cells were found to have metastasized to the brain. Now, although her condition is stable, she still needs to go back to the clinic every month and have a complete examination with brain imaging every three months. However, she does not regard these as troubles and is calm.
It's this resilience that helps her to get through. "Do you know the 5-year survival rate of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma patients in 212? "her hands are one:" 4.6%. Only four or five out of 1 people can live for more than five years, "the figure makes people gasp, but there is no self-pity and resentment in their tone."
I'm afraid the psychological pressure of extremely low survival rate is enough to crush anyone, but Xing Xia doesn't feel particularly brave. "I just want to live: I still have a lot of things to do and places to see, and I want to spend a little longer with my family, so I told myself to face it well and try my best to become the one who survived." She expressed her determination: "If the survival rate is 1%, I need to make 1% efforts.
I just want to live and attract everyone to help
Because of the word "face", she started a series of rehabilitation after cancer. When she first became a patient, her friend listed a dietary requirement for Xing Xia according to the anti-cancer method in the book. She took a glance and almost fell to the ground face to face. "Sweet, fried and baked?" I'm forbidden to eat all of them, and I feel that if I want to do this, I'll just die, "she said humorously. However, the will to survive is overwhelming. She really obediently followed the table and taught classes. Not only did she give up her love of cakes and desserts, but she didn't even eat too sweet fruits for the first six months, such as small tomatoes. The reason turned out to be that Taiwan Province planted them too well, and the sweetness turned into poison. Support her family and joke: "I will give you all the sour fruits in the future."
Xing Xia especially thanks her family, especially her mother. "She is more mobile than me! Without saying anything, Xingma rolled up her sleeves to help her daughter cook chicken essence, make soup to supplement her physical strength, drink clam essence once every three days, and use virgin olive oil to cook in the kitchen. After drinking Jinglitang for a period of time, Xingxia often feels cold, so Xingma goes to consult her friends, adds ginger and longan to play together, and then even drinks it in winter.
Mom also helps her prepare a fruit lunch box every day. There must be more than five kinds of seasonal fruits. Several times, my colleagues asked Xing Xia why she didn't get off work. She jokingly replied, "I dare not go home until I have finished eating!
Apart from her family, Xing Xia was able to stand firm in the war of resistance because she had a group of good friends to support her. The director of the company also gave her great help.
At the early stage of diagnosis, her two high school best friends helped her to make an "anti-cancer folder", which contained the precautions of chemotherapy, how to alleviate side effects, information on nutritional supplements, healthy recipes, etc. Also attached is a record sheet for recording various examinations, treatments and daily physical changes, noting the weight, body temperature and side effects, etc., so as to facilitate the return visit and discussion with doctors. This folder played a great role in the early stage of anti-cancer.
