A
year ago, Mr. Lu, 63 years old, was dragged into a long ordeal of illness by a
seemingly ordinary cough and fever. From the initial fever and anti-infective
treatment to the final diagnosis of lung cancer, the sudden bad news plunged
him and his family into deep confusion and helplessness
In the midst of despair, they found an expert who possesses both professional expertise and the warmth of a doctor - Professor Yang Nong, a specially-appointed lung cancer specialist at Hainan Cancer Hospital.

The complexity of the disease is heart-wrenching
Last February, Mr. Lu sought medical attention due to a persistent cough and fever that had not improved for a long time. Chest CT revealed large patchy shadows in his lungs, and the doctor treated him for "lung infection" but with little success. Further systemic examination revealed a space-occupying lesion at his hilar region, multiple lymph node enlargements in the mediastinum and axilla, and the final diagnosis was lung cancer based on the pathological report of the biopsy.
Since July last year, Mr. Lu's condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse: frequent and severe coughing has become a common occurrence, occasionally accompanied by hemoptysis, and his sense of breathlessness has become increasingly pronounced. Moreover, he experiences sharp, stabbing pains in his waist.
During the follow-up examination in September of the same year, the situation worsened significantly - the pulmonary lesions had increased noticeably compared to before, the hilar lymph nodes had further enlarged, and obstructive pneumonia had developed. More concerning was the localized cortical destruction of the ribs, which could not exclude the possibility of tumor metastasis.

"Judged by renowned doctors, the clouds part to reveal the sun"
Since their diagnosis, Mr. Lv and his family have followed Professor Yang Nong on Tiktok. Professor Yang's extensive clinical experience, numerous successful cases of treatment, and widely recognized medical ethics have brought hope to them amidst their uncertainty. In search of the best treatment plan, they made the decision to seek consultation at Hainan Cancer Hospital.
In the consultation room, Professor Yang Nong listened patiently to Mr. Lv's description of his illness, carefully reviewed and analyzed the medical history and imaging reports page by page, not missing any subtle diagnostic points.
For complex conditions, he quickly provided a clear and decisive treatment plan: "It is of utmost urgency to carry out strong systemic treatment. It is recommended to adopt a chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy regimen. Subsequently, based on the changes in the lesion, precise local radiotherapy should be implemented. By taking both measures, the best disease control effect can be achieved."
Regarding Mr. Lu's most feared symptom of hemoptysis, Professor Yang provided professional interpretation and warm comfort: "There is no need to be overly anxious. These discomforts are all rooted in the tumor itself. As long as you actively seek treatment and control the condition, the symptoms will naturally alleviate. Relax and cooperate with the treatment, and your physical condition will surely improve gradually."

"Professor Yang's words were like a reassurance to us." Recalling that consultation, Mr. Lu was filled with gratitude. "He explained the condition and treatment plan clearly, letting us know where the root of the illness was and how to treat it. We felt at ease immediately, and were no longer as fearful and helpless as before."
