Many times, the helplessness and panic in the face of illness come from not understanding it. In fact, breast cancer is not an incurable disease, the survival rate of early breast cancer is 90% after 5 years, and the 10-year survival rate is more than 80%, most patients can survive for a long time, and breast reconstruction also allows more patients to regain their self-confidence and do not have to worry about the pain of breast loss after surgery.
Use their stories to tell everyone.
1.Aunt Huang said: After eight rounds of chemotherapy after surgery, I started to take the medicine immediately, and I have been taking it until now, until the National Day in 2023, I have been breast cancer for ten years, and the doctor said that I am a **, pay attention to regular follow-up in the future, and a healthy life is not a problem. Over the years, I am very grateful to the meticulous work of the doctor team and the understanding and support of my family, so that I have no worries.
I would like to say to patients that although the process of breast cancer is difficult, we still have to believe in hope, actively cooperate with doctors, be happy, eat nutritious, and adhere to it, in order to regain health, I hope my experience can help everyone.
2.A few days ago, Aunt Wang came for a follow-up visit again, this year is the tenth year after her surgery, and every time I see her, she is full of smiles and is very optimistic. She said, "It's been ten years, I'm a **, I think back to the time when I first started fighting cancer**, it's like a dream, I didn't expect the effect to be so good." I think that I can successfully fight cancer, first of all, thanks to the superb medical skills of the team of Director Zhao Huadong of the Department of Nail and Breast Surgery of Tangdu Hospital, but also thanks to the understanding and support of my family, and of course, my own positive and optimistic attitude to face the disease, perseverance and perseverance, I still have confidence in the future life, I hope that all patients will not give up, although we suffer from breast cancer and thyroid cancer, but we can still have a wonderful life."
Ms. Wang (pseudonym), who unfortunately suffered from breast cancer and bravely fought cancer for 15 years, said: I had found a lump on the left breast in October 2007, and I didn't care about it at the time, and it was March 2008 in a blink of an eye, and 5 months had passed. After that, I continued to work, and I didn't want to stay at home, and I couldn't control my own cranky thoughts at home, in order to make my daily life a little more fulfilling and meaningful, the best way was to get busy, pick up hobbies, and dance when I had nothing to do, take a TikTok, and post works.
I believe that human life is rough and bumpy, and there is no smooth sailing. I also wandered before the surgery, and some patients told me that before the surgery, they also hugged their husbands and cried at night. After a night, I figured it out, as long as I can save my life, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not. Positive, review on time, obey the doctor, believe in science, believe in the doctor, as long as the attitude is good, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.
There are not a few patients like this in our hospital, who insist on **ultimate**, so we have to be active**, and it is not a problem to return to a healthy life.
Early diagnosis and early treatment of breast cancer are inseparable from the usual care for breasts
1) Pay attention to breast health.
Women should pay attention to the health of their breasts every month, and it is more convenient to check them when taking a bath, in front of the mirror, and lying down. If you have any of the following symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly
Changes in the nipple: bleeding fluid, syrup, pus from the nipple, or erosive ulcers on the nipple**.
Changes in the appearance of the breast: the breast is asymmetrical, large on one side and small on the other, or the breast ** and contour change, such as redness, swelling, ulceration, orange peel changes or dimple signs.
Breast lumps: The most common is a breast lump, most of which are unilateral.
Lumps felt in the armpits and collarbone: a hard lump or a change in thickness is a cause for suspicion because of the possible presence of lymph node metastases.
2) Do regular physical examinations.
B-ultrasound and mammography (mammography) are the two most common examination methods, and the "Recommendations for Screening and Prevention of Common Malignant Tumors in Residents (2022)" recommends:
Screening begins at the age of 40 for ordinary women: it is recommended to have a mammogram every 1 2 years; For dense breasts, it is recommended to combine with ultrasonography; Those over 70 years old, in good health, and those with a life expectancy of more than 10 years are recommended to maintain screening and have a mammogram every 1 2 years.
High-risk groups should be screened at the age of 40 or earlier: breast cancer high-risk groups should have a mammogram once a year; 1 breast ultrasound every 6 to 12 months; 1 breast check-up every 6 to 12 months; Breast MRI with contrast every 1 time if necessary.
