Today's Women's Newspaper Feng Net News (correspondent Liu Xiaoyi Peng Lu)."A Polaroid for you, wishing you a healthy and happy new year!"This morning, in the first breast surgery ward of Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital, the medical staff arranged a background wall for taking photos and punching in the ward, and prepared small props for the New Year, inviting doctors and patients in the ward to take photos and check in together.
Ms. Zhou, 42, was the first patient to check in and take pictures, she wore a little red hat and a red scarf prepared by the staff, held a plush toy in the shape of a dragon in her hand, and smiled brightly, leaving the first ** of 2024 in front of the background wall. Today is New Year's Day, and I couldn't reunite with my family because of hospitalization this year, but I didn't expect the hospital to prepare such a meaningful activity, which surprised me. ”
It is understood that Ms. Zhou was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, and underwent breast-conserving surgery at that time, followed by radiotherapy after surgery, and her recovery was good. Who knew that in October 2023, Ms. Zhou felt a local nodule and was worried about her breast cancer**, and she panicked.
When I saw this patient, I felt that she was in a very poor mental state, her mood was almost broken, and the patient was very worried about whether her disease could be cured, and even worried about the continuation of her life. He Wenfei, deputy chief physician of the department, recalled. He Wenfei carefully reviewed Ms. Zhou's medical records, calmed the patient's emotions, analyzed the progress of the patient's condition, and introduced in detail the feasible ** plan, as well as the ** expectation of each plan. "At that time, the patient only wanted to have a total mastectomy, but as a woman, I knew that this option would bring endless psychological burden in the future, so we persuaded the patient to undergo breast reconstruction on the basis of a total mastectomy. He Wenfei and Hu Xiaobo, the director of the department, fully communicated with the patient and formulated two sets of breast reconstruction surgery plans for Ms. Zhou.
On December 29, 2023, Ms. Zhou's surgery went smoothly. Today is the fourth day after surgery, and He Wenfei checked Ms. Zhou's wound recovery during her ward rounds, and everything is fine. "I now feel like I'm recovering better every day than the day before, thanks to the doctors at the Provincial Oncology Hospital, the professionalism and the care. Dr. Ho has been with me and encouraged me throughout this process, and her carefulness and patience have also helped me regain my confidence to fight bravely against the disease. ”
Hu Xiaobo said that every New Year's Day, Chinese New Year's Eve, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other holidays, the department will organize activities to send a festive warmth to the inpatients, hoping that through the power of love, patients will be happy physically and mentally, relieve their fear and anxiety about the disease, so as to achieve the effect of psychological intervention.
Operable breast cancer is essentially a chronic disease, healthy living can be effectively prevented and controlled, and a good attitude is an important force to fight the disease. Hu Xiaobo said that at present, the 5-year survival rate of breast cancer patients in China is more than 80%, which is one of the tumor diseases with the best prognosis. Moreover, with the improvement of medical technology, "breast-conserving" surgery and "breast reconstruction" technology are becoming more and more mature, and more breast cancer patients can pursue health and beauty at the same time. "As a doctor, it is not only necessary to cure the patient's physical diseases, but more importantly, to help the patient improve the quality of life, both physically and psychologically, so it is very important to shorten the window period for patients to face the fear of disease, and most of the patient's fear comes from little understanding of the disease. ”
In recent years, although the acceptance of breast cancer patients for reconstructive surgery has increased year by year, only about 40% of patients have undergone breast-conserving + reconstructive surgery in the Department of Breast Surgery of the Provincial Cancer Hospital. In fact, for patients, whether it is autologous reconstruction or prosthetic reconstruction, breast reconstruction will not interfere with the follow-up and ** effect for suitable patients, nor will it increase or reduce the risk of tumor ** and metastasis. "The most serious complication of reconstruction is only the failure of reconstruction, but this probability is very low for an experienced team and it can be rebuilt surgically. Therefore, the department actively promotes daily health education in the hope of changing the perception of patients.
