On May 13, 2007, Chen Xiaoxu, who played Lin Daiyu, sadly passed away due to breast cancer. So, what took Lin’s sister’s life? Was it the cancer itself or the psychological reasons of the patient? To answer the question, let us first trace the course of treatment during the illness of Lin’s sister, and it is not difficult to come up with an answer: in May 2006, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was at an early stage; she refused formal treatment because she was worried about the aesthetics and the fear of chemotherapy; in October 2006, the disease progressed, but she still refused treatment, expecting to overcome the disease with her spiritual will; in March 2007, she developed bone metastasis with fracture, but she still refused effective treatment and chose to overcome the disease with her spiritual will. In March 2007, bone metastases with fractures appeared, but he still refused effective treatment and chose to shave his head and become a monk; in May 2007, his condition deteriorated and he died on the 13th. In my clinical work, I have encountered many similar examples. One of them was a middle school teacher, Mr. Wang, who left a deep impression on me: Mr. Wang was 35 years old, a smart and competent worker, and helpful to others. However, during a physical examination, she found a lump in her right breast, and the doctor recommended her to have it removed surgically. But she was afraid to see a surgeon for fear of having her breast removed by breast cancer. She took an evasive attitude and looked for her own prescriptions to take Chinese medicine. However, the lump did not get smaller, but grew bigger and bigger. She was persuaded by her family and friends to go to the hospital for an examination and was diagnosed with breast cancer, and finally had to have her right breast removed due to the delay. After the surgery, Ms. Wang was reluctant to accept the reality in front of her and returned to the ward with tears streaming down her face, unstable emotions and sudden loss of words. After patient psychological counseling by the doctor and her family, she gradually improved. Later, during chemotherapy, Mr. Wang kept complaining of unbearable pain in the wound and the whole body. For several days thereafter, he requested daily pain injections. After she was discharged from the hospital, she could not get rid of the shadow of breast cancer and her personality changed drastically. When she returned home, she was afraid of seeing her familiar environment and was always worried about the recurrence and metastasis of her tumor. Every week, she wanted to go to the hospital for consultation and review. She was in a state of anxiety, depression and persistent insomnia for a long time, and she did not want to work or study. Since Ms. Wang felt inferior after suffering from breast cancer, she cut off all her interpersonal contacts. After the disease, she did not want her lover to see her mutilated body, and became sensitive, suspicious, sarcastic and often suspicious for no reason, which eventually led to the divorce of the couple. In 1986, a German-language photo book became a world-wide sensation, which is the German female photographer Renate Zorn. In 1986, the German photographer Renate Zorn’s book “Torment – My Image of Cancer”, in which she was the subject of a photo shoot, became a worldwide sensation. This book is the first photographic record to publicly show the physical and psychological torture that breast cancer brings to women. “When I undressed in front of the camera, I instinctively used my hands to cover my forehead, but at that point, there was nothing left for my hands to cover.” Thus, it can be seen that breast cancer patients suffer from loss of femininity and change in physical appearance due to the removal of one breast, thus causing great psychological and somatic damage to the patient. Some data show that about 60% of breast cancer patients experience depressive symptoms two years after surgery and about 45% experience anxiety symptoms. In fact, breast cancer is not as terrible as imagined, and it is completely curable with regular medical checkups, early detection and active treatment. At the same time, early stage breast cancer does not require mastectomy. Of course, we should also realize that psychological disorder of breast cancer patients is a more prominent problem and there are different psychological problems in different periods: ① Diagnosis period: most of them present high anxiety, anxiety and fear when breast cancer is suspected. After the diagnosis is clear, there are often psychological and behavioral changes such as depression, pessimism, fear, despair, anger and loss of reason, and the anxiety is further aggravated. ② Perioperative period: fear and anxiety about surgery before surgery, psychological reaction to anesthesia (including nervousness, fearfulness, ambivalence, experience of life and death). Post-surgery pain about breast loss, worry about treatment effect and prognosis, low self-esteem, depression, personality change. ③ Chemotherapy period: mainly showing anxiety about the side effects of chemotherapy, accompanied by insomnia and depression. ④Recovery period: mainly manifested in fear of tumor recurrence and metastasis, impaired self-esteem caused by the change of breast absence and shape, low self-esteem, feeling of discrimination and reduced self-worth. Therefore, for breast cancer patients, it is necessary to choose the appropriate way of informing, mobilizing social support power, demonstration of recovering patients, downward comparison, verbal implication, providing real information (objective and subjective) about the disease and treatment, and carrying out psychological pre-treatment to face the missing breast. To strengthen doctor-patient communication, relaxation training, encourage communication between patients (e.g. participation in patient friendship groups, yoga, tai chi, etc.), communication and emotional catharsis, life guidance, encourage patients to resume normal working life as soon as possible, introduce new medical advances and information, and give timely guidance to patients with specific psychological problems.
