An optimistic attitude helped him get out of the shadow of meningioma

In 1999, due to an epileptic seizure, 19-year-old Xiaolei was diagnosed with meningioma, and the happy life of the family of three was disrupted. After learning that he had cancer, Xiaolei gave up all day long, always feeling that he had stepped into the coffin and could no longer be cured. He even refused to undergo surgery. After repeated persuasion from his parents and doctors, Xiaolei agreed to the surgery.

However, what happened next made Xiaolei's mother's heart, which had just been relieved, worry again. Although the operation went smoothly, something happened that no one wanted to see: Xiaolei's psychology began to have problems. His face, which was always full of optimistic smiles, was replaced by tension and anxiety. Xiaolei became more and more pessimistic and even began to give up on himself. In less than a year, the brain tumor recurred.

Before the second operation, the doctor patiently explained the various questions raised by Xiaolei, and introduced the knowledge about meningioma, the importance of surgery, etc. Aware of Xiaolei's negative psychological barriers, the doctor also gave him a psychology lesson to teach him how to face the disease correctly and build confidence to overcome the disease.

Under his mother's careful care, Xiaolei recovered very well after the second surgery. Not only did his disease not relapse, but he also became a volunteer in the hospital, providing psychological support to cancer patients through his own personal experience. Xiaolei said that it was his optimistic attitude that helped him overcome the disease, and he also wanted to help more people out of their difficulties.
