Recently, the Breast Surgery Department held a science popularization event themed "Gathering Pink Power, Radiating Women's Radiance" at Yutao Xiaowu. Liu Xia, the deputy director of the department, gave a popular and easy-to-understand science lecture centered around "Ten Questions and Ten Answers about Breast Cancer", focusing on five dimensions: prevention, screening, treatment, rehabilitation, and chronic disease management. The interaction at the scene was lively and the atmosphere was active. After the lecture, Nurse Sun Yang organized patients to participate in group fan painting and mobile phone chain DIY activities. Everyone soothed their emotions, communicated with each other, and encouraged each other while painting fans and stringing beads to make chains. The participating patients expressed their feelings: "We not only learned knowledge but also gained warmth."
At the beginning of the event, her small room was packed. Outside the window, the promotional banners were eye-catching; inside the room, sisters wearing hospital gowns and headscarves sat around in a circle. In their eyes, there were all hopes for Ankang.
Liu Xia, the deputy director of the department, brought the most down-to-earth "Ten Questions and Ten Answers". There were no obscure terms, only the most personal care:
"What are the treatment methods for breast cancer?"?
"Can breast cancer patients give birth and breastfeed?"?
"Can breast cancer be cured?"? ......
Use plain language to thoroughly analyze and answer the core questions that patients are most concerned about one by one.
During face-to-face communication, many sisters resolved their long-standing doubts. One sister softly exclaimed, "It turns out I'm not the only one with these questions. After listening to the director's explanation, I feel much more at ease."
Knowledge dispels fear, and listening carries empathy. This is also the deepest comfort that medical staff brings to patients.
The lingering warmth of the lecture lingered on, and the activity room was transformed into a cozy creative workshop. Everyone got to work, stringing together lucky mobile phone chains, tightly linking colorful beads with beautiful wishes; picking up their brushes to paint round fans, blending colors and applying ink on the plain silk. At this moment, they were no longer just patients, but creators who loved life and were pursuing beauty. The red flowers and green leaves slowly spreading out on the fan surface, and the vibrant and lively colorful beads on the mobile phone chains, all revealed an unquenchable passion for life, as well as earnest hopes for the days to come.
Pink companionship, unending care. As the event drew to a close, everyone held high the round fans and beaded chains they had crafted themselves, capturing a brilliant group photo. Bright smiles and encouraging thumbs-up gestures preserved this moment of warmth and rejuvenation.
Although the Pink Ribbon Month event has come to an end, the protection of breast surgery has never stopped. Director Liu Xia's "Ten Questions and Ten Answers" has answered the doubts of current patients, and the mobile phone chain and fan therapy have healed their hearts. May every sister carry this "pink power" and walk firmly on the road to recovery, radiating their own unique light.
The body may bear scars, but gentleness and confidence will gradually take root and grow. Next October, we will still meet; day and night, we will always be by each other's side.
