Over 2,000 kilometers, this is not only the distance from Hebei to Hainan, but also the journey of Mrs. Yu, crossing mountains and seas, filled with hope in search of medical treatment!
Diagnosed with Advanced Lung Cancer, Feeling Doubly Anxious
Ms. Yu, 52 years old, is from Hebei. During last years Spring Festival, she began to experience shortness of breath and a decline in physical strength. After the holiday, she went to a local hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
Ms. Yu said, "When I received the pathology report, I was completely stunned. I sat at the door of the consultation room, unable to regain my composure for a long time."
Fortunately, after genetic testing, Ms. Yu was found to carry a driver gene mutation and was eligible for targeted drug treatment. Although she had already started treatment, because a friend around her had died of lung cancer, she was full of anxiety and uneasiness about the treatment plan of using only one drug.
After 8 months of continuous treatment, Ms. Yu still experienced shortness of breath and fatigue after recovering from a fever. What worried her most was the discovery of a fava bean-shaped lump near her right scapula.
Eager to seek medical help, Ms. Yu and her family began searching for information online, intending to consult experts with more authority in the field of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
A Long Journey for Medical Help, Not Disappointed in the Trust
In November, Ms. Yu, recommended by an online friend, followed Professor Yang Nong, the famous domestic lung cancer treatment expert and special consultant at Hainan Cancer Hospital, on Douyin. Ms. Yu said, "Professor Yang Nong is not only highly skilled but also very responsible towards his patients. He is highly praised in the lung cancer patient community."
After learning that Professor Yang Nong regularly sees patients at Hainan Cancer Hospital, Ms. Yu immediately discussed it with her family and decided to go to Hainan to seek consultation with Professor Yang Nong.
At the end of November, Ms. Yu and her family traveled a long distance from Hebei to Hainan Cancer Hospital.
"The treatment plan definitely needs to be adjusted. Using just one drug is not suitable for you." During the consultation, Professor Yang Nong carefully reviewed and compared Ms. Yus imaging data before and after treatment. He concluded that her current treatment plan had not achieved an optimal therapeutic effect. To achieve better results, he suggested a repeat lung biopsy for NGS gene sequencing and large-panel gene testing. Based on the results, he would adjust the treatment plan.
Regarding the enlarged lymph nodes on the right side, Professor Yang Nong suggested that, after further examination, stereotactic radiation therapy could be considered for treatment.
Professor Yang Nongs confident and decisive diagnosis reassured Ms. Yu. She exclaimed, "Coming to Hainan to see Professor Yang Nong was definitely the right decision!"
