Four years ago, after six hours of serious surgery by the director of thoracic surgery in a famous hospital in Guangzhou, a ping-pong lung adenocarcinoma mass in my right lung was removed, and a part of the pleura with oblique fissure in the middle lobe was also removed. After each chemotherapy, I began to take targeted therapy (also called interventional therapy, and many doctors and patients were surprised to hear this plan). Six months later, the bad news appeared. Head MRI report, 6*4mm enhanced nodules, brain rotation!
Just a thunderbolt, thinking stagnation! How can such a bad thing sneak into the brain! ? Chest and lungs are close to normal. I just forgot the pain of the operation, and my new life has just begun to fall into a cold and dark hell. During the next month's diagnosis, a question puzzled me: Is the cancer cell bad and active, or is the treatment scheme improper? It took three months to confirm: the crime of targeted drug Kemena!
Review of medical history: 2065438+diagnosed in mid-May, 2006, discharged from hospital in mid-June, and jumped from stage 3A to late single brain metastasis, which took only seven months; It took only three months to develop into multiple brain metastases (six) with headache and dizziness! How long can I live?
What happened in the year from 2065438 to June 2007? The goal of surgical radiotherapy is backward, so we have to respectfully consult four or five experts from Southern Hospital, Zhongshan Cancer Hospital and Provincial Hospital to sum up their knowledge: 1 later, you will understand when you think about it. No doctor mentioned gamma knife. 3, several whole brain radiotherapy, and then a period of cognitive impairment. There is a high probability of becoming an idiot, so how will you face your parents, wife and children for the rest of your life?
Losing patience, I know that brain metastasis is an expert's problem and a shortcoming of cancer hospital! In my groggy skull, I have been thinking about why my neck, chest and abdomen are completely normal every time. And the head is not normal? This proves that the thoracic surgery was successful and there was no residue. Ten days later, in the hot summer vacation of 20 17, I made a bold analysis. My current situation must be that the concentration of drugs in my brain is not enough, not drug resistance. Then I made a bold decision: I stopped taking Kai Myna and took Trocquer instead! Kay Myna, the manual is only valid for seven or eight months, and there is no data on brain effects. Anyway, it is no longer trustworthy! It's been six months since the self-funded period designed by Kai Myna manufacturer (every month1more than 3000), and I just started to get the medicine for free, so I have to! At that time, this decision was considered stupid by an oncologist in Huiqiao Building. He said impatiently that he would go directly to the third generation of ossitinib (trade name: Teresa, API number: 929 1). At that time, the only third-generation new drug went on the market, and it cost more than 50 thousand a month at its own expense. Think about my little doctor whose income was stopped, and my car loan. I feel helpless and guilty! The wallet is so small, calm down! When can I consider the cost performance of the scheme recommended by experts?
Although the weather is unpredictable, there will be timely rain. Brother Liu, a friend of Guangzhou workers, heard that I had come to buy medicine for donation, and immediately invited me to the medicine donation office. A month's worth of authentic Trokesai is in his hand. There are 30 white tablets engraved with T in a small film bag, which is worth 1800 yuan if it goes on the market! It is not as heavy as a grape, but in my heart, it is a gift in the snow and affectionate.
There is no surrender in my life dictionary. Practicing as usual every day, Guo Lin Qigong is still my reliance. But at the moment, I have been awakened by reality, and no drug is omnipotent. Directional upgrade is bound to end. I remember an old Chinese doctor with experience in treating cancer said that I can't eliminate the tumor, but if I change the physical environment of the patient, the tumor can't survive in this soil. The principle of strengthening the body resistance has returned to our daily life. Moxibustion, the method of maintaining immunity during chemotherapy, will continue, and improving the internal environment is not a day's work. Although western medicine is powerful, it is still an ignorant teenager in front of tumor cells.
After taking Trocquer for four or five days, the symptoms of dizziness in the morning and headache during the day began to ease, and the dullness of several months subsided and the agility of thinking came back. The wife said that she saw keen eyes! One day a week later, something happened: the dancer who had been in a daze for several months began to bicker with his wife! The brain concentration of this drug ranks first in the first generation of targeted drugs, and the brain concentration is only 10%, which is amazing! After two weeks, carcinoembryonic antigen decreased. A month later, the magnetic vibration report eased! Kemena, the first targeted drug for lung cancer in China, has numerous honors, but it is not directly proportional to the overall survival rate. Alas, its contribution only fills the gap.
This time, it was not a chance encounter, but a lot of information was consulted in limited papers and instructions, and the choices were made after analysis and comparison, from Teresa, 3759 (unlisted), temozolomide, Texan, Yi and so on. It not only avoids the deficiency of detecting gene mutation by blood test, but also takes into account the lung and brain. You can try Trocquer pulse later.
Fate will never forget the seeker!
Summary and suggestion of targeted drugs: For egfr mutation, the effect of taking Kemena, Iressa and afatinib orally into the brain is extremely poor, and brain metastasis is prohibited. Use it with caution to prevent brain metastasis. 20 16 among the drugs on the market, troxequ has the strongest brain entry effect.
Sunshine dancer talk therapy:
1. Don't make some important decisions when cancer is diagnosed or metastasis progresses. The wrong seed will bear bitter fruit.
2. Interventional therapy with alternating chemotherapy and targeted therapy was not mature at that time, so it is necessary to ask in advance whether the immature treatment can benefit. In other words, when choosing drugs and treatment schemes, we should ask more questions and compare more.
3. Paying more attention to experts than yourself means letting others decide their own destiny.
4, take action, don't say that you don't understand medical care, correct your mistakes, and make your own decisions on the road to recovery! (To be continued)
