A woman’s heart is hard to guess, and Professor Ai Xingzi Ari, a gynecologist at Shanghai First Maternal and Child Health Hospital, confirms this common saying by looking at the structure of the ovary: “Ovarian tumors are the most complex kinds of tumors among human organs.” However, once cancerous, its condition is also the most complicated: before the advent of platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, its 5-year survival rate was less than 10%, and now it is only 30%-40%, with no symptoms in the early stage, and it is usually late when discovered. The horrible disease is like the dark side of life, but Ai Xingzi found the light of humanity in the darkness, through three patients, she cooked a unique “chicken soup for the soul”.
Doctors are the “straw” for patients
A
A young woman in her 30s found ovarian problems during a medical checkup, and the answer she got from two hospitals in a row was “ovarian cancer cannot be ruled out. She inquired about the possibility of “cleaning up” her entire female organism! For this reason
She cried at home for half a month.
”I think you probably don’t have cancer.” I’ve done hundreds of ovarian cancer surgeries and they are usually very thin and pale. You are not at all!” Ai Xingzi further
explained, “Don’t look like cancer on your film, but the instrument is not a doctor and will not have a doctor’s pair of eyes.” As if she had caught a life-saving “straw”, the young woman went to the operating table with a positive attitude. The result was also
The result was bright: an ovarian cyst with a “cancer-like” appearance.
The patient is the doctor’s “mentor”
The same
The same ovarian cancer is advanced, some people die in a few months, but some people can live, “a positive attitude is very important. Ai Xingzi even calls a patient she once treated “my spiritual mentor. That patient
When the cancer was discovered, it was not only advanced, but also the most malignant type of ovarian cancer, with a general survival period of no more than three months. However, she was very optimistic and accepted her fate of having an incurable disease.
She has survived for 9 years now. “During the 9 years, her body had various adenocarcinomas, including rectal cancer, one after another, and each time it seemed hopeless, yet she got through it.” Ai Xingzi believes that the patient has kept herself active
The patient has taught herself nutrition and obtained a nutritionist’s license; she has also learned about psychology and can provide spiritual guidance to her patients.
Family is the sunshine of life
8
was abducted at the age of 40, only to be recovered at the age of 40, during which it was changed hands by 3 men …… Such a fate is already rough enough. However, just one month after her new marriage, she was found to have advanced ovarian cancer with severe ascites, and the ascites that was drawn out was
cancer cells could be found – meaning the condition was serious enough to lose the point of surgery. “When she came to me, she had already been rejected by several specialists, and I didn’t want to take any chances.” Ai Xingzi recalls, “Now that the doctor-patient relationship is so tense
The chances of this surgery failing were too high.” However, the patient’s mother quietly approached Ai Xingzi, crying and pleading, “Please give me a chance, a chance for a mother to make it up to her child.”
The mother said that not a day had gone by for more than 30 years that she did not blame herself and searched by all means for her daughter, who was so hard to find. “I haven’t had the time to love my daughter yet, even if just one more day, I am willing to bet. Ai Xingzi.
Doctor, just make me whole! No matter what happens, I will never blame you!”
”I am also a mother and a woman, and I am touched by this great motherly love.” It was the family’s unwavering trust that allowed Aixingzi to let go and take the risk of giving the patient a full clearance surgery, with some of the treatment costs being waived.
”Until now she is still alive, 4 years, and every year she comes for a review and she says she is finally living a good life.” The warmth of family fills lives with sunshine and creates miracles.
