Chen Qihong said that during chemotherapy, regardless of wind or rain, he would report to the hospital every morning for treatment, take a break at noon, and go to work on time at 1 p.m.
Due to chemotherapy, his mouth and throat were damaged, his salivary glands were damaged, he lost all sense of sweet, bitter, and spicy taste, and half of his hair fell out, but his willpower told him to fight the cancer with all his strength. After 2 months of radioactive chemotherapy and targeted drug treatment, he successfully defeated nasopharyngeal cancer. After 5 years of follow-up, there has been no recurrence, which is equivalent to a successful victory over cancer.
Chen Qihong suffered from hair loss, vomiting, and various uneasy jamaica telegram emotions during chemotherapy. Even though he is cured now, he still has lingering fears when he recalls the feeling of treatment at that time. He still has to overcome the sequelae of chemotherapy, including dysgeusia, the inability of salivary glands to secrete to their previous state, and often feeling dry mouth.
Because of his cancer experience, he realized the importance of prevention over cure. Because of his own experience in fighting cancer, when Chen Qihong’s 84-year-old mother was diagnosed with stage 3 lung adenocarcinoma by doctors in 2008 and was judged to have only 7 months left to live, Chen Qihong considered her mother’s age. She is already high and is not suitable for chemotherapy, so she directly asks the doctor to skip chemotherapy and treat her with targeted drugs at her own expense to reduce the damage caused by chemotherapy.
