Patients Without Borders: 3,000 Days of Cancer Treatment in the United States
by Shi Yonggang
About This Novel
"Patients Without Borders" is a personal account of ten years of cancer treatment. The author suffers from a rare cancer, adrenocortical carcinoma. The incidence of this disease is one in a million, and there are not many treatment options and effective drugs. To this end, the author went to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States to seek medical treatment. He went through the shocking experience of 2 surgeries, 5 recurrences and metastases, 4 emergency visits, and 6 radiotherapy treatments in 10 years. Finally, he was "reborn" by participating in 3 clinical trials of new drugs. This manuscript records in detail the 3,000-day medical treatment experience, and also contains many experiences and thoughts on cancer treatment options. It is a non-fiction work that contains both experiences and thoughts, as well as many real cases. It not only involves the treatment of diseases, but also reflects on the current lifestyle, reminding readers that people have nothing to be proud of, not even their own bodies.
