The multiple symptoms of the new coronavirus, such as fever, muscle aches, fatigue, general weakness, cough, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nasal congestion, make the infected person uncomfortable. However, the father of a reporter from mainland China was originally a terminal cancer patient. He did not expect to accidentally kill the cancer cells after being diagnosed, and he recovered at the end of the disease. The doctor said that it is not ruled out that the new crown caused a continuous high fever to kill the cancer cells. The family said it was a “blessing in disguise”. However, there is also a view that high fever may also kill normal cells at the same time, and this statement remains to be studied.
The father of the Southern Weekend reporter was a terminal gallbladder cancer patient. When he went to the doctor, the doctor asserted that the terminal cancer patient had only three months to live, and reminded the gallstones in the body and the high bilirubin caused by the blockage. It is life-threatening, and surgery is also risky, so I choose not to have surgery and go home to rest in peace. Unexpectedly, he was diagnosed as soon as he got home. At that time, the old father’s temperature reached 39 degrees C, and then 40.8 degrees. The fever lasted for 8 hours.
Originally thought that the terminal cancer was diagnosed again, and the old father’s life would not be guaranteed. The family rushed him to the hospital. When he was admitted to the hospital, the total bilirubin data had risen to level 4, which was quite serious. The doctor treated him with albumin and amino acids, and he was hospitalized for nearly a week. . However, after being hospitalized, a miracle happened. The total bilirubin dropped from more than 300 to more than 200, and the direct bilirubin dropped from more than 200 to more than 100. Finally, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The medical oncologist was very surprised.
Some doctors said that the high fever may have played a role. The persistent high fever killed the cancer cells in the father’s body, resulting in changes in the tumor, which relieved the bile duct obstruction, and greatly reduced the bilirubin content in the blood.
Is it a blessing in disguise that high fever can kill cancer cells? Some people in the medical field believe that high temperature can indeed kill cancer cells, but it is impossible for the human body to reach a temperature high enough to kill cancer cells through fever, because in that case, normal cells of the human body will also be killed. The statement that “diagnosed high temperature kills cancer cells” may need further research.
