Should she give up chemotherapy in the face of malignant glioma?

  The flamboyant Miss Li learned on her 28th birthday that she was suffering from glioma. After Xiao Li looked up a lot of information on the Internet, all thoughts were lost, but under the persuasion of her family, she underwent open-heart surgery and recovered well after the operation. After the stitches were removed, the doctor recommended that Xiao Li have chemotherapy, and Xiao Li’s just-improved mood was ruined again. She was very resistant to chemotherapy from the bottom of her heart. After all, in the mind of the people, chemotherapy is a last resort for advanced cancer, and it will cause hair loss and waxy face, which is very harmful to the body. Xiao Li felt terrible!  In fact, chemotherapy is not as scary as Xiao Li thinks. First of all, chemotherapy is not needed only for advanced cancer, and there is no distinction between early and late stages of glioma. Chemotherapy is only one of the means to consolidate the effect of surgical treatment. Malignant glioma grows in an infiltrative manner, and surgery cannot eliminate all malignant cells, and postoperative chemotherapy is significant for eradicating these remaining tumor cells. Secondly, chemotherapy for glioma has made great progress in recent years. With the introduction of new drugs, the permeability of the blood-brain barrier has been significantly improved, and the serious toxic reactions have been significantly reduced, and can be taken orally without losing hair, even at home. Therefore, like Ms. Li so worried about fear is not necessary.
