Lung cancer is the number one killer of cancer in Hong Kong. According to statistics, about 90% of male lung cancer patients are smokers. However, earlier, a 22-year-old male college student in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, who had no smoking habit, developed a fever and chest pain, and was subsequently diagnosed with stage III lung cancer.
The latest video promotion:
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Mohd Hazman, a 22-year-old male college student in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is studying at the Faculty of Medicine at Sungai Buloh Mara University of Technology (UiTM). In a video uploaded on TikTok, he mentioned that he was diagnosed with stage III lung cancer in January this year. He said he was in good health in November last year, but in December he developed a fever, chest pains and was diagnosed with pneumonia.
When doctors examined Mohd Hazman, they suspected he had cancer because the X-ray results looked unusual. Then the doctor performed CT scan and biopsy (Biopsy) for him, and it was confirmed that he had stage III lung cancer. But Mohd Hazman thought he was still young and didn’t expect anything to happen. “I seemed to fall into the dark at that time. I was only 22 years old and I didn’t smoke. The diagnosis made me feel like my peaceful life was ruined.”
Mohd Hazman said in an interview with the media that he has completed two courses of chemotherapy. He bluntly said that the first two or three days after chemotherapy were very hard, he would feel tired, have stomach pain and vomiting, but after that It will be fine, and I can live a normal life, go out, play badminton, etc.
But Mohd Hazman’s condition is very serious. He pointed out that the cancer cells are very close to the heart and are in the third stage. Therefore, the results of chemotherapy must be observed before deciding whether to undergo surgery. Although his condition is not optimistic, he said that he will continue to receive treatment, and as a medical student, he also hopes to return to school after recovery,
I aspired to be a doctor and after seeing some cancer patients, I was inspired to become a cancer specialist to help those in need.
