future nurse She recounts her experience of terminal lung cancer at the age of just 24, starting with a cough. to the point of coughing up blood Being around someone who smokes is likely to be the cause.
On November 4, 2022, a young nurse who usedFacebook BorTor Baitoey He published a story recounting the experience of being ill with lung cancer, claiming that someone once said Our lives are uncertain. But I didn’t think it would happen to me, 24, with a popular disease in a sad movie. “Stage Four Lung Cancer” that everyone calls “The Last Stage” dreams of having a life like the heroine of the series for once. But I don’t think I’ll understand this plot, haha.
disease history
As of the end of 2021, cough comes and goes, does not cough all the time, about 2 months, corresponding to the pm2.5 range, thought to be allergic. So I went to a doctor in Siriraj’s Otolaryngology department and had an x-ray of the lungs and an endoscopy to examine the airways. no abnormalities were found Ended up taking various cough medicines then went to follow up appointment for the whole x-ray but started coughing more, coughing all the time
– April It’s COVID. I have a cough (already coughing), sneezing (having this symptom, so I checked for COVID) That’s it, I didn’t eat Honeycombs. because the symptoms are not very severe
– May right hip pain (I thought he was probably sleeping in the wrong position. It should recover on its own for about 2 weeks, still not recovered, so I went to an orthopedic surgeon. At that time, the doctor told me that the muscle was inflamed. take painkillers and then go physical
– June I woke up in the morning and coughed, it felt like there was phlegm (usually a dry cough all the time). I was shocked at that moment. Consult an acquaintance Came to see the doctor ear, nose, throat, lung endoscopic X-ray of the doctor as before, no abnormalities found. The doctor thought the cough was coming from a broken capillary in the palate, so he made another appointment 3 months later.
(Meanwhile I cough all the time. Legs limp go to physio And always go to check ear, nose, throat appointment!!)
– July life turning point After her 24th birthday, everything happened so fast. The cough remains the same. heavier and harder to start runners After walking for a while, I had to stop and then keep walking, I was losing 2 kilograms a week, people around me started saying that I had lost a lot of weight and asked me to go check.
Result of the detection of a nodule
An acquaintance (the same nice person) made an appointment for an internal medicine examination. He went for the first internal medicine exam, did a large series of x-ray blood tests, flashing lights, the x-ray results were still normal, but the liver blood results were not good. But the doctor doesn’t care. persistent cough The doctor then took him to a lung doctor, the pulmonologist sent a chest CT, the result was nodules in the lungs (several nodules, the largest 4cm) and 2 in the liver, then fix a appointment for a biopsy.
The result is metastatic cancer of the lungs, liver, lymph nodes, and bones. This is the cause of the pain in my leg) after being in the hospital for almost a month and staying in the RCU room (similar to the ICU, but with respiratory disease) because at that time there was only one lung left. Sleep and let the disinfectant. I use a fan all the time (high flow) and it’s very painful.
He is now receiving 10 radiation treatments (completed) and taking a targeted pill. (Thanks a lot to Ajarn Jaruwan because the cost of medicines is very high, it’s 40,000 baht per month, but I get project fund from Ajarn to help me. bow three times)
thinks the cause may be being around someone who smokes as a secondhand smoker, asking everyone who smokes Please have some responsibility with those around you. Thanks for reading this far…longest post of my life. I want to tell you In case someone has any symptoms, hurry up to get checked, get checked by the doctor, catch the disease, hurry up and treat it so that it is not too much. live long
Finally, I would like to thank everyone for caring, for visiting me, for sending rice and water, for sending encouragement, talking and crying, haha, thank you very much, I have energy to keep fighting… but please don’t react you too much Everyone don’t be shocked. Now back to work, living a normal (trying) life, but always on medication.
