In early April 2021, the then 27-year-old was sent to the hospital due to massive bleeding from her lower body. She described that she “couldn’t even stand” at the time. Her family members pushed her to a wheelchair for a series of examinations in the hospital. Basically, “the wheelchair I can’t even sit still.” That day, the doctor diagnosed her with mid-to-late stage cervical cancer and required surgery to remove her uterus as soon as possible.

Experience the “three losses” in life, get out of the haze and live in the present

2021 is a year of heavy blow to Angel. Angel learned that she had cervical cancer and was told by the doctor that she needed to remove the entire uterus. Angel said frankly, “I have always looked forward to my future” and felt very regretful that “I could not become a mother”, feeling depressed and pessimistic. At the same time, when she was diagnosed with cancer, she was supposed to be preparing for marriage. There was a very suitable partner beside her, and they both recognized each other. But because the other party was concerned about her cancer, the marriage fell through.

“My life has just begun, but it has ended like this.”

That same year, her best friend died of skin cancer. At first, she couldn’t accept so many separations and separations. She once collapsed, fearing that her illness would be a burden to her family. Later, An Qi learned from the painful experience and slowly learned to coexist with cancer and take good care of her body. At that time, the doctor declared that she only had 3 months to live, and now she has lived for 3 years. She is grateful for everything she has now,

“Whether I can’t have children or get married, it doesn’t really matter to me. I think I live well in the moment! It doesn’t matter if I don’t have my own children, I still have my parents, brothers and sisters!”

Self-improvement and self-reliance

Angel, who has been living alone for three years, has developed four good habits: keeping a happy mood, going to bed early and getting up early, exercising for 30 to 60 minutes, soaking her feet every day and choosing appropriate skin care products. After a follow-up visit, the doctor pointed out that she “The resistance is better than before cancer.” In order to cope with the expensive medical expenses, Angel started a clothing business and searched for different styles of home clothes, trendy items and daily necessities. The income was used to pay for the medical expenses.

“The thing my family says to me the most is: ‘Afterwards, if you have life, you will have everything. If you have life, you can create more hope.'”

8 high-risk groups for cervical cancer

Bai Yingyu, a Taiwanese surgical specialist, said earlier that the cervix is ​​located at the bottom of the uterus and is connected to the vagina. The cervix contains glandular cells and squamous epithelial cells. The intersection of the two cells is where cervical cancer occurs. Both types of cells may transform into cancer, but squamous epithelial cells dominate, accounting for more than 70%.

She explained that cells do not just change and become malignant immediately. Therefore, the cells will first have “precancerous lesions” and gradually degenerate. It usually takes 5 to 10 years before they develop into cervical cancer. Therefore, Pap smear examination is very important. If you undergo regular examinations and receive treatment when precancerous lesions are found, almost all cervical cancers can be prevented.

She also mentioned that infection with human papillomavirus is one of the most important risk factors for cervical cancer. There are more than 100 types of human papillomavirus, some of which can easily cause genital or anal warts, commonly known as “cauliflower”, and are low-risk types. There are more than 10 high-risk types, which can easily lead to cancer. After infection, women are susceptible to vaginal cancer and cervical cancer; even men have an increased chance of penile cancer. However, in addition to human papillomavirus infection, there are other factors to be aware of:
