劫後餘生●凱旋歸來
2014/08/31 07:27:40瀏覽3734|回應50|推薦183

上個月初,住紐約首府阿伯尼的二妹打電話來,聲音哽咽的告訴我,醫生剛剛發現她體內長了一顆12 cm的腫瘤。我說,不可能大概是單位弄錯了吧我要她去確定一下是12 mm,不是12 cm。第二天,她回電說,醫生明確的告訴她,是12公分,而且要盡速手術割除。

二妹天生麗質,又注意飲食,喜好運動,體態姣好,一向是我們家的健康寶寶。

不料,在2007年與我從台灣度假回美,突然患了背痛,起初不以為意,後來每況愈下,逐年惡化,終至痛不欲生,連止痛藥都控制不了的地步

期間遍訪美台名醫從內臟科看到骨科、脊椎科、神經科;從西醫看到中醫又從中醫看到西醫。

曾經給她介紹一位美國知名的Pain Management 專家和權威她說早就看過他了,治療無效。可謂「群醫輪診束手無策」。

世界最先進的診斷儀器也都用盡了還是查不出病因。

她曾經說只要不是癌症她也認命準備帶痛茍延殘渡餘年。每一天被迫花三分之二的時間與到處游移的劇痛艱苦抗戰能睡的時間一天不到三四小時體重也急遽下降到45公斤以下。最後一次在iPad視訊看到她已經花色萎靡、形容憔悴,生命力正在無情的流失

面對如此窮凶極惡的病魔綑綁就在所有關心的親友絕望的準備與她一起束手就擒之際出現了一位從未見過的貴人外科醫生。經過他法網恢恢疏而不漏的電腦斷層掃瞄下赫然發現了一顆隱藏在肝胰脾腎後面暗中滋長了七年的腫瘤直徑已達12公分。

醫生馬上向惡魔宣戰雷厲風行,並即刻組成殲滅特攻隊,本週二凌晨到達醫院,七點半進入手術室,九點五十分正式動刀開腔,十一點五十分順利割除,午後十二點半縫合,手術特攻隊操刀主治醫師隨即對外宣告全面勝利

醫師轉述腫瘤長在腎上腺大小與哈密瓜相仿,已連腎上腺一起摘除

昨夜(週五)收到二妹從醫院病房寄出的親筆email長信和笑容可掬的照片告知關心的眾親友她安全返航了。

我家兩位學醫的小朋友全程關注遙控觀察上了一堂如何當個傑出醫生最寶貴的一課。

個星期是我一生中最難和最長的一週。

感謝神的奇異恩典讓我們再度見證了不可思議的神蹟!


歡迎二妹凱旋歸來!

願神保守善良仁慈的二妹,從此永遠年輕、健康、美麗!

"Forever Young"

May God bless and keep you always 
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others 
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars 
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young 
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous 
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth 
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous 
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young 
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy 
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation 
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful 
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young 
May you stay forever young.

這麼大的腫瘤以前居然沒有發現,難道是"隱藏"太好 懷疑

感謝主,終於得到醫治

祝她早日康復

這麼大的腫瘤歷經七年, 如何逃過這麼多醫生的法眼

是一項世紀之謎

本來全家都已經放棄了

沒想到最後居然會出現這麼戲劇性的逆轉奇蹟

謝謝看雲的關心

謝謝媽咪的祝禱

我有一位同學幾年前開始化療

大家都擔心他活不多久

可是我很了解他

他是一個不可救藥的樂觀主義者

趁著化療空檔

帶著太太到處遊山玩水

有同學會必到

每次相見歡

還是照樣嘻皮笑臉

與大學時期沒有兩樣

哈哈

他贏了

現在還是活得好好的

當初哭喪著臉安慰他的同學都傻眼了

希望令尊的病情一樣會好轉

祝福早日康復

媽咪保重

謝謝琪霞

只有神有此大能

因為

人體的結構是祂設計的

器官的運作規則和律法是祂設定的

以下是今夜我與我家小朋友們針對此事在email上的對白:

Me:

Latest findings:
Tumor size: 14 x 12 x 10 cm
Location: on top of one of the adrenal glands
Treatment: tumor along with one adrenal gland was removed
Outcome: persistent sharp pains in the past disappeared completely
Questions for Drs. XXXX (我家兩位學醫的小朋友) to ponder:
Why wasn't it detected earlier? (They reviewed old image files and found it was there after the fact.  None of the numerous doctors reviewed them in the past picked it up.)
How could a good doctor have done to prevent this from happening? It was a 7-year life quality damage and loss!

SR: (daughter)

it is pretty shocking that they didn't find anything after all this time...

Me:

It is indeed a live miracle.  It is a very valuable lesson to learn in many aspects:
1. Human is very incapable.  Human makes mistakes and errors all the time. Man should be more humble.  Nothing to brag about. The most scary part is when man makes mistake, he does not know about it.
2. God can always convert or revert human's "impossible" into "possible", because he is the one who creates the rules and the laws for our biology system.  He is the one who would provide scientific rationales, ground, and basis to justify what you find afterwards. In this case, the existence of a huge tumor.
3. A doctor, performing the repair work on behalf of the God according to God's biological rules and laws, should always be open-minded, observing, cautious, and careful when handle another creature.  No doctors should take it casually or lightly because the patient is not related to you by blood.  Any pain a patient suffered represents a lot of stress suffered by many families behind the patient.  It is not just the patient, a single individual.
4. A patient's life or death could be in a doctor's hand, even if he is a family or primary doctor.  There is only a hairline between live and death. That's how Dr. Stringer was made an outstanding doctor who save countless number of patients' lives.  A good family doctor is the one who can critically save patient's life, not the surgeon.  A primary doctor proactively "acts" while a surgeon can only "react".
Please share with me any other thoughts you might have.

AA: (明年即將獨立行醫)

that's a very large tumor, it would be hard to miss unless it grew very quickly. I'd agree with everything you listed...medicine isn't perfect by any means, and it's still an artform to many degrees, since you'll get very different opinions from different doctors on the same issue, and even very different results with the same treatment amongst different patients. So yea, humans are definitely not as "in control" of everything as they wish they were. i'm really glad they found this and were able to excise it with so much symptom relief, that's a huge thing.  btw, did they specify what kind of tumor it is? the adrenal gland is very tiny and there's different types of tumors that can form on it...

Me:

Ha ha...
I like Dr. XXXX's talk.  You sound like a philosopher and an artist now.  That's the best a great and humble doctor can be.
The small tumor was there about 6 or 7 years ago when it started imposing pain to the nerve system as evidenced now in CT scan slices at that time.  Could that because it was hidden among many soft tissue guts in that section or compartment so it was missed?
According to the surgical team, it turned out to be a big surprise when they opened the chest and found it was on the adrenal gland.  They admitted they had misjudged the location at somewhere else before the surgery.

目前有類似個案-- 請教您-- 胰臟頭部位發現水泡-- 兩年前小於2公分--現在變大了--成為4公分-- 而且水泡內似乎有不明液體-- 這樣也要摘除嗎?
牧谷(Pokemon總動員)(lumugu) 於 2014-09-03 10:41 回覆:

我雖然從事與醫療有關的行業有時

但醫學非我專長

素卿所提個案應直接與醫師諮詢

我想一般的原則是

惡性腫瘤要儘早剷除

如是良性腫瘤但生長膨脹快速

一般醫生也會建議割除

以免壓迫神經或妨害鄰近其他器官正常運作

如素卿有興趣接洽二妹的醫生

請不客氣告知

當即奉上

牧谷(Pokemon總動員)(lumugu) 於 2014-09-03 10:30 回覆:

看到了

很好玩

突然對台羅拼音漸漸熟悉了

不過有一個很大的疑問

當初設定讀音的時候

為什麼b和p; g和k要跟英文發音剛好相反呢

這就是會造成領弟所說的嚴重問題和困擾

這一點十分不解....

終於遇到良醫,解決病痛。令妹忍痛力,實在強。好在是良性瘤,以後就可以樂活了。
牧谷(Pokemon總動員)(lumugu) 於 2014-09-02 11:30 回覆:

我親眼目擊她長期的煎熬掙扎

那真不是人過的日子

這是神給她的毅力和信心最嚴酷的歷煉

七年, 將近三千個日子

她在飽受魔鬼殘忍的酷刑之中

對這世界和周遭的人們一貫愛心

未嘗絲毫稍減

終於通過了考驗

獲得神喜悅的獎賞

感謝神的恩典

感謝AL的關懷
