Although cancer is no longer terminally ill, postoperative psychological adjustment for female breast cancer patients is often more difficult than for other cancer patients, especially unmarried female breast cancer patients under the age of 35. Most of them still dare not get married after being cured. (Which mother-in-law in the world would like her son to marry a breast cancer patient?)
Zheng Cuifen, attending physician of general surgery at Shin Kong Hospital, published a survey yesterday at the Taiwan Breast Medicine Association Symposium, tracking the physical and mental conditions of a total of 157 breast cancer survivors aged 20 to 35 at the time of cancer, and found that this is worthwhile. phenomenon of concern. (This is a Common Sense question, why waste time chasing it down?)
Among them, seventy-five patients interviewed were unmarried before their illness, but after their treatment, only one of them got married. Zheng Cuifen said that the female patient was 23 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, she was discovered early. Her boyfriend accompanied her to see a doctor at the time. The two married and had two children. (This is a very normal phenomenon.)
"How could a man marry me?" Zheng Cuifen was generally pessimistic when she heard the reaction of these unmarried female patients to cancer in the clinic. She said that these female patients dare not come out and are afraid of socializing. Even if they muster up the courage to have boyfriends, when they approach physical contact, they face a battle between man and nature on whether to confess their illness to their boyfriends. (Look, the result of Western medicine treatment is like this, why not seek Chinese medicine treatment from the beginning?)
These female patients are afraid that once they confess, their boyfriends will leave with reasons such as "whether they will be able to have children in the future" or "whether they will live for a long time". (This is a normal reaction for men in general.)
One of Zheng Cuifen's female patients once asked her mother: "If my younger brother wants to marry a wife with breast cancer, will you agree?" The patient's mother replied without hesitation: "Don't even think about it!" Zheng Cuifen said, except for her boyfriend, " I can’t even pass the test of my boyfriend’s mother.” (How?)
Zheng Cuifen pointed out that all female patients interviewed underwent surgical resection of breast lesions, and 86% of them received chemotherapy as supplementary treatment. Their postoperative satisfaction rate reached 80% to 90%. The acceptance rate is still not as high as in foreign countries, and most of the current breast cancer patient organizations are married patients.
It is worth noting that according to statistics, the incidence rate of "very young breast cancer" patients under the age of 35 in Taiwan is nearly 5%, which is higher than 2% in Europe and the United States. The reason may be related to genes, and epidemiological findings The estrogen receptor-positive rate of female breast cancer patients in Taiwan is higher, and the age of onset is ten years earlier than that in Europe and the United States on average. Chen Qimin, Director of the Department of Surgery of Hexin Hospital, treated an 18-year-old female patient who had just entered university five years ago. Although the cancer cells had metastasized to the brain, the female student still worked hard to finish university. (If this female student finds the right Chinese medicine to treat her breast cancer, how could the breast cancer cells migrate to her brain?)
Comment
I have always asked patients not to be touched by Western medicine before they come to me. If I were your first choice, there would be no need for surgery or chemotherapy. Turn, for Americans, I am their famous Last Hope, but for Chinese people, I must do it, I am your First Choice, because Americans do not understand Chinese medicine, so I can forgive you , and the Chinese should know that there is Chinese medicine. It is wrong for you not to seek Chinese medicine from the beginning. Why should I help Chinese people who do not believe in Chinese medicine?
