Patients with cervical cancer should seek advice to determine treatment

Nowadays, the doctor-patient relationship is becoming increasingly tense, resulting in patients' lack of complete trust in doctors. Therefore, patients should not only understand the knowledge related to the disease, but also learn to seek opinions from multiple parties to determine whether to obey the treatment plan arranged by the attending physician.

After being diagnosed with cervical cancer, Li, a patient with cervical cancer, was recommended by the attending physician to undergo surgical removal. However, Li had a friend who worked in a hospital in another city, so he took photos of his examination results and sent them to his friend. After consulting the doctors in this hospital, his friend was told that radiotherapy would be more effective in Li's case.

The reason is that according to Li's examination results, if surgical treatment is performed, not only Li's uterus, but also the pelvic lymph nodes will be cleared out, which will then cause various complications and sequelae. Radiotherapy can not only achieve the same effect as surgical treatment, but also will not bring the risk of complications and sequelae. Therefore, radiotherapy is the most appropriate treatment method.

After learning about the situation, Li talked with an accompanying doctor and learned that, in fact, when everyone was deciding on a treatment plan for Li, radiotherapy was originally planned, but later the attending physician said that surgical treatment would be better, so everyone had to acquiesce.

So Li and his family negotiated with the hospital and insisted on using radiotherapy, so the hospital had to arrange radiotherapy for him. After the treatment, the tumor disappeared, and Li has been living a healthy life ever since.

The above is a true story, but it does not encourage everyone to go against the doctor. Instead, everyone should have the ability to judge what is good and what is bad, be responsible for their own health, and it is a good choice to understand the knowledge related to the disease and learn to seek the opinions of other doctors.
