The third ward of respiratory medicine creates a miracle of life with a 100-year-old lung cancer patient – refreshing the oldest tumor patient since the establishment of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital He Zhen, Department of Internal Medicine, Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital The third ward of respiratory medicine: Cui Shiqi and He Zhen Recently, a special old man was admitted to the third ward of respiratory medicine, the thin, quiet and kind old lady Ma was born in 1913. At the age of 101, she is still moving freely, hale and hearty, with a clear head and a full head of black hair, which is the envy of her patients. What is even more praiseworthy is that her son, who is nearly 70 years old, is always around, and her grandson and granddaughter also take turns to visit and accompany the old man every day, and take care of him in every way. If she had just been quietly playing with her grandchildren, Mrs. Ma’s life would probably have flowed uneventfully. But the closer she gets to the end of her life, the less she can meet her needs for quality of life. When she suddenly developed cough and shortness of breath in January, her only son didn’t dare to neglect the treatment in local hospital. Director Wang Qiming attached great importance to the case and immediately organized a consultation and discussion among the medical and nursing staff in the department. When the diagnosis of lung cancer was confirmed after perfecting the relevant examination, the children and grandchildren of the old man did not give up the treatment of the old man, but did a good job for the old man, communicated with the doctor in time, and said to us full of trust: “I leave the old man’s disease to you, I believe in your level of medical care, what do we need to cooperate with our family members, just tell us”. Director Wang Qiming, with solid and systematic professional basic knowledge and rich clinical experience, after understanding the patient’s situation in detail, boldly formulated a series of treatment plans suitable for the old man to carry out pleural fluid discharge treatment and chest perfusion chemotherapy. It was a great challenge for every staff in the department to provide anti-tumor treatment for the 101-year-old woman. During her hospitalization, the medical and nursing staff treated Mrs. Ma as the treasure of the department, and in the words of the head nurse, she was afraid of being broken in her hands and melted in her mouth. The nurses on each shift not only observed and reported her condition at all times night and day, and communicated with the elderly from time to time to do a good job of psychological care, but also promptly changed and organized the bed units for the elderly, turned the elderly, patted the back, etc. …… As the skin of the elderly is very fragile, the nurses’ Every nursing action has to be careful and meticulous, especially when doing intravenous placement, to prevent unnecessary punctures and vascular injuries. With the tireless efforts of the medical staff and the careful care of the family, the patient’s condition has been effectively controlled. After her condition was relieved, the old lady’s wrinkled face was filled with a long-lost smile, and seeing her kind and lovely smile made the whole world feel better. The granddaughter of the old lady was also moved to say, “Grandma could get better so quickly thanks to the careful treatment and meticulous care of your medical staff, you are like our relatives.” In the face of the family’s praise, Director Wang Qiming said frankly, “We often see elderly lung cancer patients. Recently, an 87-year-old lung cancer patient was discharged from the hospital after one cycle of chemotherapy in which the tumor shrank by more than half, and is now taking oral chemotherapy drugs for maintenance treatment. However, it was the first time we met a lung cancer patient over 100 years old. After two small doses of chest perfusion, the old man tolerated well and was proposed to take oral sequential chemotherapy drugs to keep the old man’s condition under control. This time, the patient’s family gave us full trust and we hope that the centenarian will continue to create the miracle of life”. It is understood that this is the oldest lung cancer patient in Henan Province that can be retrieved so far. Elderly lung cancer patients often have more underlying diseases and the functions of various vital organs are decreasing, so the characteristics of medication and treatment plan are also significantly different from those of ordinary patients, thus the treatment difficulty is also significantly increased. In this regard, the hospital has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of senior cancer patients, and thus provides better and more professional medical services for senior patients in the Central Plains.
