When faced with the plight of a loved one's terminal cancer, many families find themselves in a dilemma: should they give everything they have to save the patient, or should they respect the patient's wishes and let them live comfortably in their final days? There is no standard answer to this question as every family, every person's situation is unique. But there is a doctor's story that may shed some light on us.
The doctor's name is Li Ming, and he is the head of the oncology department at a well-known hospital in Beijing. When his mother was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, he was faced with a difficult choice. Li Ming knew that with his mother's physical condition and age, the risks of surgery and chemotherapy and radiotherapy were very high, and the possibility of ** was very small. However, if he chooses not to, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
After careful consideration, Li Ming decided not to take a radical ** approach, but to take the mother's symptoms and improve her quality of life as much as possible as the main goal. He chooses the best support** for his mother, including pain control, nutritional supplements, and psychological counselling. During this process, Li Ming always communicated frankly with his mother, let her understand her condition, and respected her decision.
Li Ming's approach was widely supported by family and friends. Despite the gradual deterioration of her mother's condition, she lived relatively calmly and comfortably in her final years. She didn't go through much pain and didn't feel exhausted from **.
Li Ming's experience allows us to see that in the face of relatives with terminal cancer, the purpose of ** should not only be pursued**, but also to comprehensively consider the patient's physical condition, the risks and benefits of **, and the patient's wishes. Sometimes, choosing not to ** doesn't mean giving up, it's another form of love and support.
Of course, that's not to say that it shouldn't be done in all cases. For some patients, especially those who are younger and in better health, positive activity may prolong survival and improve quality of life. **Decisions should be made based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's recommendations.
It's crucial to communicate openly and honestly with patients before making decisions. We want to make them aware of their condition, their risks and possible conditions so they can make an informed choice. At the same time, it is also important to respect the wishes of the patient and not force them to accept what they do not want to be**.
In addition, we pay attention to the psychological state of the patient. Cancer is a huge psychological burden for patients, who may feel fearful, anxious, and helpless. We need to provide them with counselling and support to help them cope with this dilemma.
Finally, we want to cherish every moment we spend with our patients. Regardless of the outcome, we want to make our patients feel as cared for and warm as possible. We can accompany them through every important moment, share the moments of life, and give comfort to their souls.
In short, when facing the dilemma of a loved one's terminal cancer, we should comprehensively consider the patient's physical condition, the risks and benefits of **, and the patient's wishes. We need to communicate openly with our patients, respect their choices, and provide them with counselling and support. At the same time, we also want to cherish every moment we spend with our patients, so that they can live their last moments comfortably, calmly and with dignity.
Li Ming's approach may provide us with some references. With the main goal of alleviating the mother's symptoms and improving her quality of life, he does not take a radical **way, but chooses the best support**. Such an approach deserves our in-depth consideration and reference.
In the days to come, let's take care of our loved ones and provide them with the best support and care. Regardless of the outcome, we must cherish every moment we spend with them.
