- Discovered in March 2019
- Pelvic malignant tumor with multiple abdominal metastases
- Accompanied by a large amount of ascites
- Missed the opportunity for surgery, could only undergo chemotherapy first
- First round of chemotherapy
- Carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy
- 21-day cycle, 5 cycles+?
- Delayed several times due to bone marrow suppression and infection with fever
- Common cancer treatment methods
- Surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc.
- Chemotherapy controlled the primary lesion, but bone metastasis was discovered
- Regarding the infusion method during chemotherapy
- Central venous port
- Due to high cost and inconvenience of going to the hospital, it was not chosen
- CVC catheter placement
- Recommended by the doctor, used throughout the hospitalization period
- Unfortunately, there were three instances of infection during catheter placement
- Highest fever reached over 41 degrees, almost lost control
- Used drugs such as lenalidomide, [[beapenem]] for anti-infection treatment
- Normal hand vein infusion
- After the first round of five chemotherapy sessions, no longer used CVC catheter
- Continuous chemotherapy through hand vein in the second round of chemotherapy
- Visible damage
- Superficial veins on hands and arms became thinner and could not be punctured
- Central venous port
- Possible problems during chemotherapy
- Bone marrow suppression
- Decrease in all blood cell lines
- Low red blood cells and hemoglobin, dizziness, need blood transfusion
- It is best to use dietary therapy, eat more protein and meat
- Low white blood cells and neutrophils, need to prevent infection and fever
- Receive white blood cell injections, there are long-acting and short-acting options
- Short-term leg pain and bone pain may occur, no need to worry
- Low platelets, need to prevent falls and injuries, afraid of bleeding or internal bleeding
- Receive two injections of white mustard seed oil
- Low red blood cells and hemoglobin, dizziness, need blood transfusion
- Decrease in all blood cell lines
- Infection and fever
- In case of fever, go to the hospital immediately
- Physical cooling
- Use ice cubes wrapped in cloth on forehead, armpits, and thighs to cool down, using an ice cap is better
- In summer, medical alcohol can be sprayed on the skin to evaporate and cool down
- Medication for anti-infection
- Medication is life-saving at this time, may require high-level antibiotics
- Nausea and vomiting
- People are made of iron, but food is made of steel. If you can't eat, it will affect hematopoiesis
- If blood cells cannot rise, chemotherapy may be discontinued
- Excessive vomiting can lead to insufficient salt intake, hyponatremia, and possible coma
- Must have the will to survive, keep eating, eat small meals frequently
- Use a combination of several anti-emetic drugs, such as ondansetron and rabeprazole
- Hair loss
- Don't even think about it, most chemotherapy will cause hair loss
- Losing all hair is just a matter of time
- Don't worry, hair will grow back after chemotherapy stops
- Skin dark spots (purpura)
- This is a manifestation of low platelets and rupture of capillaries
- Bone marrow suppression
- Maintenance treatment after the first round of chemotherapy
- Severe bone marrow suppression after the first round of 5 chemotherapy sessions
- Blood cells cannot rise, chemotherapy had to be temporarily terminated
- Had to use OLPN targeted therapy for maintenance treatment
- Unfortunately, couldn't afford the genuine targeted therapy due to its high price
- The plot of "Dying to Survive" was reproduced
- Closed one door but found the life-saving channel of OLPN
- Took this targeted therapy for 4 and a half years
- During this period, underwent whole-body enhanced CT and a complete set of blood biochemical analysis once every six months
- Second round of chemotherapy started in April 2024
- Carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy plus bevacizumab
- 21-day cycle, the fourth session has ended, the fifth session is about to begin...
