Cancer can t be cured at all, can advanced cancer only live and die painfully?

Malignant tumors are a type of disease characterized by abnormal cell differentiation, abnormal proliferation, and uncontrolled growth. Due to this characteristic, many cancer patients, especially those with advanced stages, often experience unbearable and severe pain.

Pain, especially cancerous pain, can damage the body beyond people's imagination! First of all, the pain has a huge psychological impact on the patient, leading to a decrease in the quality of life. Because the pain affects sleep, patients generally feel anxious, lose interest in everything around them, severe pain may make some patients feel that life is worse than death, many patients are unbearable due to pain, self-harm, suicide and other events occur from time to time.

In addition, pain can have serious adverse effects on the body itself. Due to the pain, patients may experience elevated blood pressure, arrhythmias, and even myocardial infarction in patients with coronary heart disease. Pain also leads to the disorder of the body's immune function and exacerbates the progression of malignant tumors.

Pain can also alter the body's endocrine metabolism, cause hyperglycemia, and worsen the condition of diabetics.

Why do malignant tumors cause pain? Generally speaking, there are mainly the following situations:

1. The local invasive growth of the tumor invades peripheral nerves, blood vessels, periosteum, etc., causing pain. For example, advanced breast cancer and lung cancer invade the ribs, intercostal nerves, and pleura, and lung cancer supraclavicular lymph node metastasis infiltrates the brachial plexus, causing numbness and pain in the arm. Superior sulcus tumor (pancoast) invades peripheral nerves, thoracic cage, etc., causing severe pain, etc.;

2 Local compression due to tumor growth. For example, the swelling and pain in the liver area caused by the invasion of the liver capsule in primary liver cancer, the increased intracranial pressure caused by brain metastases, the intestinal obstruction caused by intestinal cancer, and the local edema caused by lymphatic invasion may cause pain;

3 Pain caused by pathological fractures. It is mostly common in the metastasis of the spine and femur caused by lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, intestinal cancer, etc., and the pain is also very severe due to pathological fractures caused by improper force;

4 Cancer autosecretes inflammatory factors, resulting in an inflammatory state in the body.

Some cancer pain is indeed "stubborn", such as Fu Daren, ** may require some more "complicated" and "destructive" methods, which are difficult to operate and difficult for patients to accept.

However, most cancer pain is not effectively relieved because of misconceptions, and there may be problems with doctors, patients, family members, and drug administrations. According to the World Health Organization, standardizing cancer pain** can effectively control pain in 85% of patients.

Not all patients with advanced cancer will experience pain, but in fact about 70%-80% of patients will experience pain. There are probably three reasons for the pain of cancer patients, one is the tumor infiltration and compression of the surrounding organs, the second is the secondary injury caused by the tumor, and the third is the pain not caused by the tumor, such as the patient has lumbar disc herniation, frozen shoulder, etc.

Cancer is one of the diseases that people fear the most. The scariest thing is not getting cancer, but finding it when you are often late. When the doctor said that he might not live for more than three months, life seemed to enter a rapid countdown.

But some patients will find that they have obvious terminal cancer, but they are in a good mental state, have no obvious discomfort, and even live for three months as the doctor said. What is it?

In the advanced stage of cancer, can I only die?Oncologists told the truth.

Mental health in the advanced stages of cancer does not mean that the disease is getting better.

Many patients and their families often ask doctors this question: How long can I live if the cancer is advanced?

In fact, the survival time of advanced cancer patients is very fortuitous, and it is not so easy**. Doctors sometimes say that they may not live for more than three months, but this is only an extrapolation based on clinical experience and does not mean that the patient will die within three months.

Many patients with advanced cancer have many serious complications that cannot be prevented and may occur at any time, which is also the biggest factor related to the survival time of patients.

Also, depending on the different types of cancer and the complications of the cancer, not every patient will experience severe pain and severe pain. Sometimes, if there are no serious complications, the patient may be in a more mental state and survive longer. However, this does not mean that the condition is improving, nor does it mean that the doctor's assessment is wrong, because there is a fatal risk at any time and it is difficult to prevent it.

There is no hope for ** in the later stage of cancer, so I have to wait for death?

Cancer is considered incurable, and once the opportunity to be early** is missed, the patient's quality of life and quality of life decreases. Therefore, some people think that once cancer reaches an advanced stage, there is no hope of **, and they can only wait for death. Is it true?

Of course, this is not the case. Professor Li Libo, chief physician of the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Southern Medical University, pointed out in a previous interview that the view that "cancer can't be **" or "advanced cancer can only wait for death" is incorrect.

With the rapid development of medical technology, most patients with early-stage cancer can basically be**. Even for patients with advanced cancer, through individualized integration**, survival can be significantly prolonged and quality of life can be improved. Even for some patients with advanced stages, through the combination of biological targeting** and minimally invasive techniques**, the effect of human tumor coexistence and long-term survival can be achieved.

Therefore, patients should not give up** even if the cancer is difficult to ** at an advanced stage. Through multidisciplinary integration**, the purpose of prolonging the life of patients and improving the quality of life of patients can be achieved. In addition, the patient should relax and not worry too much about the remaining life, which will help the condition.

Participating in clinical trials of new drugs is also a way to prolong the lives of patients with advanced disease. Depending on the indication, new drugs often have unexpected effects and may lead to new improvements. At present, nearly 100 clinical trials of new drugs have been published, and patients can self-register.

Enrolled patients are scheduled to receive free examinations and medications at the nearest tertiary hospital**. This policy not only improves the efficiency and quality of patients, but also greatly reduces the financial pressure on patients. The bottom line is that new drugs are expected to affect patients.

It is true that most patients with advanced cancer can only live and die painfully, and chemotherapy only prolongs the survival time of patients, and will not completely ** advanced cancer. In the advanced stage, patients can only suffer from nerve pain and die, and cancer pain is a continuous pain, so patients often tell doctors and family members to commit suicide in the advanced stage, that is, they can no longer bear the torture of cancer pain.

01. Cancer is generally not easy to find in the early stage, and it is normal to have a full body examination every two years, and many patients have advanced cancer before it is discovered, because there are no symptoms in the early and middle stages. Especially for liver cancer, there is no discomfort in the early and middle stages. By the time I felt pain in my lower back, it was found that liver cancer had reached an advanced stage.

At this time, surgery is no longer possible, only chemotherapy and intervention** can relieve the patient's pain and onset time, and prolong the patient's life. The most fatal thing is liver cancer, one is that the cancer pain is very tormenting, and the other is that the life span is extremely short, generally only 1-3 years. My father passed away from advanced liver cancer, and in October 2015, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer in the hospital.

He died of illness in October 2018, during which he suffered from cancer pain for the past three years, especially in the last ten days, and the pain was basically worse than death. We have repeatedly asked us to let him commit suicide, a scene that I believe all my relatives cannot bear to see. If you can take him to the hospital for regular check-ups as soon as possible, maybe you can detect it early**.

Therefore, instead of waiting until you are unwell to go to the hospital, you should go to the hospital regularly for a physical examination, especially for the middle-aged and elderly, it is best to go to the hospital for a regular examination every year.

02. Only advanced cancer is almost impossible to be **, and there is still hope in the middle and late stages, and now people are talking about cancer discoloration, and they all think that cancer is a terminal disease, and once it is found, it has been sentenced to "death". But this is not the case, it is true that the vast majority of advanced cancers are incapable, and they are no different from terminal diseases. But there is still hope in the early and middle stages, which is why regular check-ups are recommended.

It is hoped that the symptoms can be detected as soon as possible, and the longer the delay, the smaller the hope. Nowadays, cancer is getting younger and younger, and people in their thirties and forties have been found to have advanced cancer, which is caused by the increased incidence of cancer caused by personal diet and other bad habits. In particular, lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer are basically caused by smoking.

If you really don't want to drag down your body because of cancer, don't touch these things that are harmful to your body.

03. The mentality of cancer patients is more critical, and the most important point is that once the patient knows that he has cancer, his mentality will immediately change dramatically. This will directly affect his chemotherapy and onset time in the later stage, the worse the mentality, the shorter the onset time, and the effect of chemotherapy is not significant. Therefore, in addition to experiencing pain, cancer patients should also maintain a good attitude so as to prolong the onset time as much as possible.

Even if you can't be cured, you can live a few more years!

<> fought cancer for ten years, and I am the most qualified to speak! Ms. Jiang, 52, told the doctor that although metastases were found in the lungs and liver during the re-examination a year ago, although it was already at an advanced stage, the doctor said that there was no way to perform the operation again, but she was not afraid at all, I was in a good state of mind, actively cooperated with the doctor, and now I feel very good, nothing particularly uncomfortable.

In the whole ten years of anti-cancer process, no one knows that Ms. Jiang has experienced all kinds of pain, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and I have used it myself, although I have suffered a lot, but after being diagnosed with cancer, I have lived for ten more years and am already satisfied.

On the Internet, many people have too negative views on cancer, thinking that cancer cannot be cured at all, tossing and turning, and eventually inevitably dying, and losing both people and money.

After being diagnosed with cancer, many family members may be reluctant to hold on**, but have you really heard the thoughts of cancer patients themselves?

Ms. Jiang said that from the day I was diagnosed with cancer, I knew that no one could help me, I could only rely on myself, after all, these ** had to be carried out on me, if I didn't agree with myself, it was useless for others to persuade me.

I want to live, I want to live so much!Ms. Jiang told the doctor that this was her most direct thought after being diagnosed with cancer, and she knew many cancer patients, and everyone thought the same as her.

Everyone is inevitably dying, but in my heart, I am still afraid of death, I want to live, it is in an instinctive reaction, it is also for the sake of my family, and there is courage, I don't want to lose to cancer like this, I have to fight it.

After being diagnosed with cancer, I looked up a lot of articles about cancer on the Internet, and many people think that the most terrible thing about cancer is pain, and I am the same, I am most afraid of pain, but thanks to my doctor, through scientific pain relief methods, I now have a good quality of life.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, the doctor said that in the advanced stage, ordinary painkillers may not be able to relieve pain, but I didn't think about it so much, I believe in doctors, believe in medicine, I want to live every day!

The doctor said that many people have a misunderstanding about cancer and think that cancer cannot be cured at all, but in fact, whether cancer can be detected mainly depends on whether the cancer can be detected early.

Many people worry that advanced cancer is painful to death, but in fact, it is not so exaggerated, there are many painkillers that can reduce the degree of cancer pain.

Some people say that the more cancer is cured, the faster it dies, and if it is not cured, it will live well, but there is no reason for this. You must know that cancer is easy to spread, and the mortality rate is also very high, not that under the **, the faster you die. But everyone is very afraid of the disease of cancer, so in the face of frequent chemotherapy or **, they will lose the desire to live, and over time, they will die naturally.

Cancer is a terrible disease in life, and there are no symptoms in the early stage, once it is detected, it is most likely the terminal stage of cancer, and it is impossible to be completely complete at this time. You must know that the body accepts ** in order to make the body healthier and able to live longer, and no doctor is willing to treat his patients to death. If it is not treated, there is a high chance that you will die suddenly, and you don't know what kind of situation your disease is in

Suffice it to say that there are two main reasons why cancer patients die in the case of **. The first is that the psychological burden is relatively heavy, and if you survive the pain of this disease for a long time, you will have less and less hope of living. The second reason is because of excessive **, you must know that the doctor's ** is enough, if the family still has to force the doctor to increase the **, then the patient himself will not be able to accept it.

Moreover, the length of a patient's life span is correspondingly related to the patient's own condition, including the doctor, his own mentality and living environment. <>

Therefore, I would like to advise everyone that once you are diagnosed with cancer, try not to worry, and do not be afraid. As long as you have a good mentality and are positive under the doctor's advice, then there is still a corresponding hope for survival. Even if you don't have a long life, if you have a good attitude, you can help yourself extend your time by a few months, or even a year.

During this time, you can take care of your own affairs and no longer have to worry about the impact of your sudden death on your children or family.
