However, fate was unfair. In 1995, Liang Meng was diagnosed with colon cancer. With her firm belief, Liang Meng continued to work and contribute herself even when she was suffering from cancer. She was known as the "contemporary Paul". Today, Xiao Jiu will show you Learn about his story.
1. "Contemporary Paul": 27 years of cancer, still struggling on the front line of medicine
1. Unfortunately suffering from cancer in his thirties
In 1995, Liang Meng suddenly fainted and fell unconscious. After examination, it was discovered that an egg-sized colon cancer had grown in his abdominal cavity, and the erosion and perforation reached 2cm. Eventually, Liang Meng was diagnosed with advanced sigmoid colon cancer perforation and peritonitis .

In 1996, he applied for the establishment of the first nephrology department in southwestern Fujian. However, at a critical moment, his condition relapsed again, and the cancer cells metastasized to the lungs, requiring another operation.

2. Decades of medical practice with illness: work during the day, infusion at night
As a doctor and a patient, Liang Meng understands the pain of the patient very well. In 1995, just after the operation, he hung a sling to the patient for diagnosis and treatment, which made the patient's condition improve significantly. It was later learned that Liang Meng was ill, and the patient ran outside his ward several times to pray for him.
After several chemotherapy treatments, Liang Meng lost all her hair and lost more than ten kilograms. Although the process of treatment was very difficult, he continued to work.
For the sake of convenience, he even asked his father to take the materials to the ward, while he read them, while his father wrote them on behalf of him. Before the sutures were removed, he took the drainage tube indwelling the abdominal cavity and went to the field to attend the kidney disease conference . Even when the dressing was changed, he was still consulting on the phone to analyze the patient's condition.
For more than 20 years, Liang Meng has performed more than 10 large and small operations. In order not to delay work and to recover as soon as possible, in recent years, he has to carry more than 10 kinds of medicines and nutritional solutions with him every time he goes out to a meeting , and he has to explain to the staff at the airport when he goes through the security check.

This small gesture warmed the patient's heart and won the respect of everyone.
Second, the key to the success of anti-cancer lies in these two points
Liang Meng has been practicing medicine for decades after suffering from cancer, and the key to his success in fighting cancer is inseparable from the following two points:
1. Positive and optimistic attitude towards life
Life is impermanent, some people face sudden changes, sympathize with others, and want to die; some people work hard and ignite their enthusiasm for work and life.
Obviously, Liang Meng is the latter. Liang Meng has always regarded work as his mission. He likes work more than anything else. Healing the wounded is the only reason and motivation for him to live .
Therefore, after the illness, he did not collapse, but faced it calmly, maintained a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, was grateful, strengthened his life goals, loved life, loved life, and lived every precious day earnestly. .
2. Have good living habits
Not only does her positive and optimistic attitude towards life infect the people around her, but Liang Meng's good living habits also inspire many people. In his spare time, he enjoys photography, calligraphy, and playing the violin.
He runs in the morning almost every morning, breathes fresh air, feels good, and can exercise to speed up his recovery.
3. Cancer treatment, cancer treatment should also treat the heart
There is a saying in the medical community that one-third of cancer patients who die are scared to death . In fact, cancer is not terrible, the terrible thing is that we fell before we even started fighting.
In fact, the occurrence of cancer is not the result of a single factor, but is related to a variety of factors, such as the environment, lifestyle, and people's mentality.
Liu Yunpeng, director of the Medical Oncology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, said: "Cancer is most afraid of you staying in a good mood." Depression, frustration, helplessness, hopelessness and other negative emotions are closely related to cancer. Experts and academicians have also said that half of health is mental health, and half of illness is mental illness.
When a person is angry, the body produces enough stress hormones to kill mice, the study found. Long-term depression, anxiety, tension, and anger will lead to high levels of stress hormones, reduce immunity , and make cancer an opportunity.
Some people say, I want to be happy too, but I just can't be happy! It is true that negative emotions such as anxiety and fear are not eliminated if they want to be eliminated, so what methods can be used to alleviate them?
First of all, the patient needs to face it calmly , face the fear bravely, don’t feel ashamed, and don’t feel that you are weak if you are afraid, boldly express the fear and anxiety in your heart, and get help from relatives and friends; Take a deep breath when it is not right, and get psychological counseling or treatment when necessary.
At the same time, family members should understand the patients to the greatest extent possible , do not force them to discuss topics that they do not want to face, listen to their thoughts carefully and patiently, say more words of encouragement to them, stabilize the emotions of the patients, and make the patients feel more at ease. receive treatment.
In clinical nursing measures, psychological intervention has become an indispensable item .
If necessary, psychological pressure can be relieved through cognitive behavioral therapy, music therapy, distraction, mindfulness stress reduction therapy, emotional counseling and other methods, and targeted psychological counseling can be provided. Both the patient and the family.
Cancer is scary, and some people die within three months from being diagnosed. Cancer is not terrible, and some people are still alive after being diagnosed.
Excluding some objective factors, there is still a lot we can do in the face of cancer. For example, maintain a good mood, adjust living habits, etc. Only by facing it calmly and treating it scientifically will the chance of defeating cancer be greater.
