The 75 -year -old professor suffers from "advanced blood cancer" and courageous "bone marrow transplantation".

Wuhan Evening News July 12 News 75 -year -old college teachers were diagnosed with advanced blood system tumors. They were not fragile and frustrated. First, chemotherapy, and then accepted autologous stem cell transplantation (commonly known as bone marrow transplantation). During the closure period of the one -month isolation cabin, medical staff warmed up and encouraged. On July 12, he reviewed the hospital one month after the successful transplantation, and the blood indicators were normal. The 75 -year -old teacher became one of the oldest patients with self -hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Mr. Chang is a retired teacher of a university in Wuhan. He has always been good. In October last year, he went to Wuhan University Central South Hospital for inspection. Poch bone marrow, diagnosed as advanced lymphoma, and molecular detection prompts are high -risk types. Teacher Chang received five courses of chemotherapy, and the condition was relieved. Professor Zhou Fuling, director of the Department of Hematology, considers Teacher Chang's factors such as seniority and high -risk late tumor. He recommends that he do "autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation" treatment to achieve the purpose of reconstruction of hematopoietic and immunity. Because transplantation uses the patient's own hematopoietic stem cells, the body has no rejection reaction after transplantation.

"If you choose to transplant, there is still the opportunity to continue to live; if you give up, your life will enter the countdown." After two days and two nights of careful consideration, Teacher Chang decided to transplant. They want to "fight" with medical staff.

On May 9 this year, Teacher Chang entered the transplant warehouse of the blood in the blood of the blood. In order to allow Mr. Chang, who lives alone in the isolated warehouse, can relax his mentality, Zhou Fuling, Director of Blood Medicine, Zhou Yi, Doctor Zhou Yi, Nurse Director Li Jianfang, and Wang Cong and other medical staff encouraged him through the microphone every day to cheer up. On May 19, medical staff entered autologous hematopoietic stem cells for Teacher Chang.

"Teacher Chang, the stem cell infusion process is smooth. During this time, you will take a good rest. If you are uncomfortable, tell us that we will find a way for you!" At this time, the medical staff in the blood of the blood visits him more frequently. Although the thick glass is across, the encouragement and greetings of the language help the teacher to go through the adverse reaction period and other adverse reactions such as nausea and low fever for many consecutive days. On June 8, Mr. Chang went out smoothly.

On July 12, Teacher Chang went to the hospital for a review, and the results showed that his blood indicators had returned to normal. Zhou Fuling and other medical staff sent flowers to him to congratulate him to get new life. Teacher Chang said that although he was alone in the transplant warehouse for a full month, the care and encouragement given by the medical staff made themselves feel "not fighting alone."

"In addition to advanced transplantation technology, the understanding and support of patients and family members, and the smooth and harmonious communication between doctors and patients is also an important factor in the success of transplantation." Zhou Fuling said that under normal circumstances, 65 years old is the age of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In recent years, the number of elderly patients with blood diseases has gradually increased. Patients over 65 years of age are evaluated with a systemic state. When conditions permit, patients who need to accept transplantation or have a strong desire for transplantation can choose autologous transplants after the doctor's assessment.
