Terminal symptoms of small cell lung cancer

summary

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is very serious, which is a little more serious than general lung cancer. My old watch was replaced by SCLC. I have been in hospital for more than a month. I just finished the operation, but it was not very successful. Later, I continued chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the treatment never stopped. Let's share with you the symptoms of patients with small cell lung cancer before they die!

Terminal symptoms of small cell lung cancer

Symptom 1: before the death of patients with small cell lung cancer, cancer cells will continue to spread. After the metastasis of small cell lung cancer to lymph nodes, the supraclavicular lymph nodes were mostly fixed, hard, gradually enlarged, increased, fused and painless.

Symptom 2: when patients with lung cancer are dying, they are in great pain. If small cell lung cancer metastases to the brain, intracranial edema can cause intracranial hypertension, headache, nausea and vomiting. It can also lead to diplopia, ataxia, cranial nerve paralysis, weakness of one limb or even hemiplegia due to space occupying effect.

Symptom 3: after the metastasis of small cell lung cancer to the bone, most of them showed occult process, only 1 / 3 of them had local symptoms, such as pain and pathological fracture. When the spinal nerve root is compressed, the pain is persistent and aggravated at night. The irreversible paraplegia syndrome can appear rapidly in a short time after spinal cord metastasis.

matters needing attention

Small cell lung cancer metastasis to the pericardium, can appear pericardial effusion, even pericardial congestion performance, dyspnea, obvious when lying on the back, jugular vein distention, blood pressure, pulse pressure difference narrowing, systemic congestion, urine volume reduction, etc., can be appropriate to the use of painkillers to help patients reduce pain.
