In the summer of 2013, my classmates asked me on the phone.
[Brother Xiang, my father has advanced liver cancer. Is there any good way for what? ]
[Surgical resection is selected for liver cancer in the early stage. If the operation cannot be resected, it is radiofrequency ablation or interventional embolization. Systemic chemotherapy is generally not recommended.]
[My father discovered it in 2012. When he found it, he lost the chance of surgery. Later, he underwent interventional embolization, but now he has metastasis and can only take targeted drugs.]
She contacted me again in July this year.
[Brother Xiang, is there a big problem with our family’s genes? She was very worried on the phone.
[What’s the matter? ]
[It was after my father left that my uncle was diagnosed with bone metastasis of prostate cancer and left two days ago. My uncle has just been diagnosed with gastric cancer and has just undergone surgery. I’m really going to collapse…]
[Ah…] At this end of the phone, I don’t know how to comfort this ill-fated old classmate.
My grandfather’s generation, all in their early 60s, died of various diseases. What should I do? How to prevent cancer.] Father was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2012, uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014, and uncle was diagnosed with gastric cancer in 2016. Two years apart, a cancer patronized this unfortunate big family.
[The occurrence of tumors is mainly related to genes and environment. If you cannot change the genes carried by your body, you can only maintain good living habits and insist on physical exercise.]
However, the inextricable connection between family and tumor is not so easy to summarize. For example…
Longer parents have healthier children
An international study involving nearly 10,000 people found that if parents live longer, their children will also have a 24% lower risk of cancer than others.
The average age of these people is 70 years old. If their mother lives to be 91 years old and their father lives to be 87 years old, their chances of cancer, diabetes and stroke will be greatly reduced in the future.
Therefore, some scholars believe that apart from heredity, the [trick] of longevity can actually be passed down from generation to generation through words and deeds! Long-lived parents tend to have healthier diet and work and rest habits, and seldom drink and smoke. In this good family atmosphere, their children also have better living habits, thus reducing the incidence of cancer and chronic diseases.
Happy family, less cancer!
Researchers in the United States have collected information on nearly 800,000 cancer patients and found that single male and female cancer patients have higher mortality rates, 27% and 19% higher respectively.
Investigate its reason, some experts suggest that the other half of cancer patients with complete family usually listen at all times, have a better mentality to face the disease, and have better pressure resistance. Moreover, married patients, with better health methods, such as healthy diet and physical exercise, are also more likely to do cancer prevention measures (cancer screening, etc.).
A happy family is a great guarantee of health-this is to use [love] to prevent [cancer]!
The doctor gives you advice on cancer prevention.
Therefore, cancer prevention has never been a one-person affair, and it will never benefit only oneself. Instead, it requires the whole family to mobilize and live a long life. Let family and friends come together quickly.
Specifically, this can be done:
-
Healthy diet: eat more at home, eat less oil, salt and sugar, and eat less deeply processed food;
-
Quit smoking and drinking: alcohol and tobacco are clear carcinogens, quit quickly;
-
Work and rest rules: Ensure regular work and rest, which is not only beneficial to health, but also will not hinder family members;
-
Family harmony: take care of family affairs calmly, optimistically and positively.
In fact, cancer is a long process, and its occurrence will always have certain reasons and hints. At present, cancer has not been completely conquered. Readers who pay attention to health headlines will find that what oncologists mention most is to maintain good living habits and insist on physical examination.
However, on the other hand, healthy and long-lived parents and harmonious and happy families are our lifelong pursuits. As for cancer prevention, how about treating it as an attached small gift?
