“98-Year-Old Mother-in-Law Beats Terminal Colorectal Cancer through Diet and Exercise Plan in Singapore Hospital”

There is no cure for cancer, even in advanced age. A 98-year-old mother-in-law in Singapore was diagnosed with end-stage colorectal cancer 2 years ago. The family members were worried that her mother-in-law would not be able to support her and refused treatment. Fortunately, the local hospital formulated a set of diet and exercise instructions for her mother-in-law. After half a year, her mother-in-law’s health improved greatly. He underwent 2 surgeries to remove liver and colorectal tumors, and was discharged from the hospital after successfully fighting the cancer.

Diagnosed 2 years ago with terminal colorectal cancer, her mother-in-law’s family resisted treatment for a while

According to local media reports, the 98-year-old Singaporean mother-in-law Chen Yongyue was diagnosed with end-stage colorectal cancer in 2 years last year, and the cancer cells have also metastasized to the liver. Because the mother-in-law is very old, her family expressed that she was unwilling to take the risk of letting the mother-in-law undergo tumor resection surgery. Later, the National University of Singapore Cancer Center suggested that Granny Chen join the “Golden Cancer Plan for the Elderly”. A team composed of oncologists, nutritionists, and physiotherapists will conduct a detailed health assessment for Granny Chen, and formulate a nursing method including diet and exercise. To improve the mother-in-law’s health.

Granny Chen adjusted her diet and living habits according to the plan, and her health has improved significantly after half a year. Until August last year, Granny Chen underwent a liver tumor resection with the consent of her family, and then underwent a colorectal tumor resection three months later. Both operations went smoothly.

No sequelae after recovery, walking every day in good spirits

The grandson Wang Shuyi said that Granny Chen was able to get out of bed and walk around the next day after the operation. She is currently in good condition and is undergoing chemotherapy. The progress of her recovery has surprised her family.

“I used to be very worried that she would not be able to walk out of the operating room, or that her body would gradually weaken. But when we saw how the doctors and nurses helped her exercise, we were all relieved.”

Granny Chen’s 75-year-old son Sheng Sheng Qiji revealed that his mother has been discharged from the hospital and has not seen any sequelae. Now the family will accompany the mother-in-law out for a walk every day, and sometimes the mother-in-law can even walk on her own without support.

“My relatives and friends once worried that my mother would not be able to survive the operation and advised me to give up the treatment, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try.”

Hope to promote the project to other hospitals

Ho Cheuk Ho, Director of the Radiation Oncology Department of the National University Cancer Center, said that from 2019 to March this year, more than 1,000 people have participated in the elderly cancer patient plan, and more than 60% of the patients have changed their original treatment methods as a result.

“A lot of patients come here who are planning to give up any treatment, but after the assessment they will find that they don’t have to give up.”

Ho Cheuk Ho believes that after assessment and counseling programs, elderly patients can successfully complete the entire course of cancer treatment. The team hopes to expand the program to more hospitals, so that more elderly cancer patients can benefit.
