Lung Cancer Diagnosis Triggers her Anxiety and Panic
After retiring at 60, Ms. Ran settled in Hainan, delighting in time with her grandchildren and gardening, embracing the idyllic life by the coconut groves and sea. However, fate played a heavy joke on her.
Last year, Ms. Ran sought medical attention due to persistent coughing. A chest CT scan revealed a mass in the left hilum, highly suspicious of malignancy. Pathological biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of small cell lung cancer. The moment she was diagnosed, fear overwhelmed her like a tidal wave. During subsequent outpatient telephone follow-ups, she consistently avoided discussing treatment plans, perhaps because of fearing unknown orperplexityin the face of the disease.
In the middle of last year, with the comfort and encouragement of her family, Ms. Ran began to receive chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy as prescribed, followed by 30 sessions of radiotherapy.
A review in December last year showed that Ms. Ran developed radiation-induced pneumonia. After treatment with hormonal drugs, she continued to complete 2 cycles of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy and has since persisted with immunotherapy.
In March this year, Ms. Ran sought medical attention for persistent headache. A head examination indicated a frontal lobe mass with significant edema.
Following the appearance of brain lesions, Ms. Ran experienced sleep disorders due to low mood. Already suffering from hyperlipidemia, she developed additional symptoms of palpitations and anxiety. Anxious family members sought medical advice everywhere while searching online for authoritative experts in lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Good Doctor’s Advice Brings her Clarity
In April, recommended by a colleague, Ms. Ran’s son followed the TikTok account of Professor Yang Nong, a renowned lung cancer expert and a distinguished professor at Hainan Cancer Hospital. After the family carefully watched Professor Yang’s science popularization videos and diagnostic cases, they unanimously agreed: “This is the expert we need! Professor Yang not only has an excellent reputation among lung cancer patients but is also known for his rigorous and responsible diagnostic attitude.”
“You have metastatic tumors in your brain and need early local treatment for the brain. Increased intracranial pressure may cause brain herniation, especially for the elderly, so you must be more vigilant.” After reviewing Ms. Ran’s imaging materials, Professor Yang suggested reducing intracranial pressure through dehydration treatment first, and carrying out stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases as soon as possible.
In May, after completing brain radiotherapy, Ms. Ran came to Professor Yang’s clinic again accompanied by her son.
“You look much better than before. Let’s discuss the follow-up treatment plan together.”Sensing Ms. Ran’s anxiety, Professor Yang comforted her gently. For her condition, he carefully analyzed the current situation and put forward comprehensive treatment suggestions: “Combining the examination results and physical condition, we recommend a three-pronged treatment plan of ‘chemotherapy + immunotherapy + anti-angiogenic drugs’.”
“Professor Yang, my mother has a history of hyperlipidemia. If these drugs are used, will there be serious side effects? Can her body bear the side effects?” Ms. Ran’s son were worried about that.
Professor Yang explained patiently: “The addition of anti-angiogenic drugs is to improve the overall treatment effect, which is crucial for controlling the disease.”He elaborated on the mechanism of anti-angiogenic drug therapy in detail, and particularly emphasized:“We will accurately select drugs according to individual conditions. At the same time, we have a complete adverse reaction management plan, and we also need you to timely feedback her physical condition.”This professional and detailed explanation make Ms. Ran and her son look obviously relieved.”
In the two consultations, Professor Yang’s suggestions always make us suddenly enlightened.” Ms. Ran said. He is not only profound in professional knowledge but also extremely patient. He not only helped us finalize the treatment plan, but more importantly, gave me the confidence to overcome the disease.
