A 45-year-old woman in Shaanxi was diagnosed with breast cancer. She often ran and exercised before her death. The doctor said: This incident has caused her great harm

Recently, the news that a 45-year-old Shaanxi woman died of breast cancer in the hospital made me fall into deep contemplation. She was a running enthusiast and insisted on jogging every morning, but the shadow of the disease was hidden under her healthy appearance. As a doctor, I am well aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, but I am also aware of the serious consequences that wrong ideas and behaviors may bring. "Doctor, she works so hard every day, how could she get cancer?" The patient's family was full of confusion and sadness. I explained solemnly: "Exercise itself is good for health, but she may have overlooked some important health details. The occurrence of breast cancer is related to many factors, including genetics, hormone levels, lifestyle, etc. Even if you exercise regularly, you may still get sick if you don't pay attention to other aspects of health management." The family members seemed a little confused: "We heard that breast cancer is likely to be inherited, so what should we do to prevent it?" I told them:

“First, regular breast examinations are essential, especially for women with a family history.

Secondly, maintain healthy living habits, such as balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoid excessive drinking and smoking.

Finally, maintaining a good attitude and reducing stress are equally important for cancer prevention.”

During in-depth discussions with the family, I learned that although this woman loved running, she preferred high-fat foods, often stayed up late when under work pressure, and rarely performed breast self-examinations.

These bad living habits may be an important cause of her illness.

"Her example tells us that a healthy lifestyle requires comprehensive consideration and we cannot focus on one aspect while ignoring other aspects."

I said.

The family members nodded silently, as if thinking about how to change their own and their family's living habits.

A few months later, I met with the woman's family again, and they told me that since that conversation, their whole family began to pay attention to healthy eating, regular physical examinations, and try to reduce stress at work and in life.

I looked at them with relief:

"Your changes are great. Health is a precious asset that we must all work together to maintain."

At a community health seminar, I specially invited the woman's family to share their experiences.

The lecture hall was packed with people, and everyone showed great interest in health topics.

The family member walked up to the podium, his voice choked with sobs but firm:

“We used to think that just exercising was enough, but reality hit us hard.

We lost loved ones, but we also learned valuable lessons.

Now, our whole family is working hard to change, hoping to avoid the same tragedy from happening again."

I then went on stage and further elaborated on breast cancer prevention knowledge using data and cases:

“Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women, but it is preventable and treatable.

The key is early detection and early treatment.

In addition to regular check-ups, we should also pay attention to our diet, daily routine, and mental state.”

After the lecture, residents came forward to ask questions and I patiently answered them one by one.

A middle-aged woman asked:

"Doctor, I am very busy at work and often work overtime. Will this increase my risk of breast cancer?"

I replied:

“Long-term work-related stress can indeed affect physical health, including increasing the risk of breast cancer.

It is recommended that you arrange your work and rest time reasonably and seek professional psychological counseling if necessary to help relieve stress. "

As time goes by, I have witnessed more and more people starting to pay attention to their health and change their bad lifestyle habits.

They exchanged experiences and encouraged each other in the community health groups, creating a positive and healthy trend.

In these challenging times, each of us should be the guardian of our own health.

Through this woman's story, we see the comprehensiveness and importance of a healthy lifestyle.

I hope every reader can learn a lesson from this, pay attention to changes in their own bodies, take active preventive measures, and protect the health of themselves and their families.

Dr. Qiu’s scientific knowledge:

Early detection of breast cancer:

If breast cancer can be detected and treated early, the cure rate can reach over 90%.

Therefore, women should perform regular breast self-examination and professional breast examination.

Healthy Diet:

A balanced diet is essential for cancer prevention.

The intake of red meat and high-fat foods should be reduced, and the proportion of vegetables, fruits and whole grains should be increased.

Moderate exercise:

Moderate exercise helps maintain weight and reduces the risk of chronic disease.

But pay attention to the appropriateness of exercise intensity and duration to avoid excessive fatigue.

Mental Health:

Long-term stress and depression may increase your risk of cancer.

Maintaining an optimistic attitude and making timely psychological adjustments are beneficial to both physical and mental health.
