Starting at the end of 2021, coughing comes and goes, doesn’t cough all the time, regarding 2 months, corresponding to the pm2.5 range, thought to be allergic. So I went to see a doctor in the Ear, Nose and Throat department at Siriraj and did an x-ray examination of the lungs and endoscopy to look at the respiratory tract. no abnormalities were found Finished by taking various cough medicines, then going to follow the appointment throughout the x-ray, but started coughing more, coughing all the time
– April It’s COVID. I have a cough (already coughing), sneezing (having this symptom, so I checked for COVID). That’s all, I didn’t eat Favi. because the symptoms are not very serious
– May right hip pain (Thought that he probably slept in the wrong position. It should recover by itself for regarding 2 weeks, still not recovered, so I went to see an orthopedist. At that time, the doctor told me that the muscle was inflamed. get painkillers and then go physical
– June Woke up in the morning and coughed, felt like there was phlegm (usually a dry cough all along). I was shocked at that time. Consult with an acquaintance Came to see the doctor at the ear, nose, throat, doctor endoscopic x-ray lungs as before, no abnormality found. The doctor thought that the cough came from a broken capillary in the roof of the mouth, so he made another appointment 3 months later.
(In the meantime, I cough all the time. Legs limp going to physical therapy And always go to check the appointment of the ear, nose, throat !!)
– July turning point of life After his 24th birthday, everything happened so quickly. The cough remains the same. getting heavier start to racers After walking for a while, I had to stop and then continue walking. I lost 2 kilograms of weight per week. People around me began to say that I had lost a lot of weight and asked me to go check it out.
Result of detecting a lump
An acquaintance (the same good person) made an appointment for an internal medicine examination. Went for the first internal medicine examination, took a large set of x-ray blood tests, flashing lights, x-ray results were still normal, but the liver blood results were not good. But the doctor doesn’t mind. persistent cough The doctor therefore took him to a doctor specializing in the lungs. The lung doctor sent a CT Chest examination. The result found nodules in the lungs (several nodules, the largest 4 cm) and 2 in the liver, therefore making an appointment for a biopsy.
The result is metastatic cancer of the lungs, liver, lymph nodes and bones. This is the cause of the leg pain) following lying in the hospital for almost a month and staying in the RCU room (similar to icu, but with respiratory disease) because at that time only one lung was left. Sleep and let the disinfectant. I use a ventilator (high flow) all the time. It’s very painful.
He is now receiving 10 radiation treatments (completed) and taking a targeting pill. (Thanks very much to Ajarn Jaruwan because the cost of medicine is very expensive, it’s 40,000 baht per month, but I get a project fund from Ajarn to help. bow three times)
think that the cause is likely to be from being near someone who smokes as a second hand smoker, asking everyone who smokes Please have a little responsibility with those around you.
