A 28-year-old man from Shanxi has actively fought cancer for more than 900 days. Is his positive and optimistic attitude worth learning from his patients?

From the perspective of an ordinary person, a positive and optimistic attitude is the correct attitude for all epidemic patients to treat the disease. It's just more positive for cancer patients.

A friend had intestinal cancer and did not have surgery. He felt that his quality of life would be poor after surgery, so he continued to receive conservative treatment because he was already in the advanced stage when he was diagnosed. He died about a year later. That year, I was 30 years old.

A friend with lung cancer was about 36 years old when he was diagnosed. I don’t know how he got lung cancer (I think it has something to do with his mood). He underwent chemotherapy after surgery and is now in good health. He has been treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Mentality is really important. .

Thyroid cancer is a "love cancer" among cancers. After treatment, I returned to work after a year of recuperation. I am currently in good health, which is also an adjustment for traditional Chinese medicine.

When sick people recalled the reasons for their illness, work pressure and emotional impact were all mentioned.

The friend who passed away was already feeling unwell before the diagnosis. During that time, her parents were hospitalized at the same time. Eventually, one of them was discharged and the other passed away. As for her, she had to take care of two elderly people. It was hard work. You can know it by thinking about it, and you can also feel your mood.

This does not mean that optimistic people will not get sick, but if they are already sick, then take active treatment. There is still a chance with active treatment, but there is only a dead end if treated passively.

As we all know, in the minds of most people, cancer is one of the incurable diseases in the world. When people talk about cancer, they are afraid of it. When they hear that they have cancer, they are frightened. Having lost half of his life, he has sentenced himself to death first. This is one of the reasons why some elderly people’s families deliberately conceal the diagnosis after they are diagnosed.

So there is a saying in society that most cancer patients die not of illness, but of fear. This statement is a bit one-sided, but it is not unreasonable. It’s a lie that I wasn’t surprised when I learned that I had cancer, but when I look back and think about it, what’s the use of being afraid? Being afraid is also death, and it will die faster. Not being afraid is also death, and maybe there will be more. Just a few days to survive and active treatment is all.

So having a positive and optimistic attitude does not mean that it can replace treatment, but it is just more conducive to cooperation with treatment and recovery. There are many examples of this in reality, and there are even a few extreme cases in which patients with terminal cancer, with an optimistic attitude of living one day to earn more, gave up treatment and traveled around for three or five years to live longer.

However, we should not advocate giving up treatment unless it is of no therapeutic significance or it is a last resort due to financial constraints.

The correct attitude should be to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, actively cooperate with scientific treatment, try to take it calmly, and abandon fear, because currently many cancers are not incurable, but can be cured. .
