Ms. Le Thi Dinh, 47, of Phu Nam An commune, Chuong My, Hanoi, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and underwent a hematopoietic stem cell transplant to treat it. She is now healthy and living a normal life.
Diagnose an illness early based on the pain
Ms. Dinh used to be unable to work due to bone discomfort and exhaustion. Her spouse and kids are the foundation of every activity in her family, including farming. Being unwell causes Ms. Dinh, a year-round farmer who works hard every day, more than just anxiety and restlessness.
Following tests, physicians speculated that she may have multiple myeloma, a deadly blood malignancy.
She was given the task of conducting a biopsy in order to determine an accurate diagnosis. Ms. Dinh and her family were surprised to learn that she had multiple myeloma stage 2 a week later.
But as soon as she collected herself, she was admitted to the hospital for care. She received three rounds of chemotherapy and had a marrow aspiration to check on her health. The experts suggested hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as a comprehensive treatment option and referred her to Vinmec International General Hospital. Using contemporary equipment, care, and isolation techniques, the entire process of extracting stem cells, managing high-dose chemotherapy treatment prior to stem cell injection, and controlling problems is carried out in this location and will produce the best outcomes.
Transplanting hematopoietic stem cells is a novel treatment for blood cancer
The most extreme treatment, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, offers patients with malignant blood illnesses, including multiple myeloma, the chance to heal and resume normal lives. Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation will be moved to a sterile area for isolation, care, and special treatment in an isolation room until their indicators are examined in order to ensure the best possible treatment safety and efficacy. After the post-transplant test became normal, the patient was moved to the regular ward. Doctors at Vinmec hospital performed a hematopoietic stem cell transplant on Ms. Dinh in February 2019 to treat her multiple myeloma.
"Patients need the most assistance throughout the period of seclusion and intense care to get through this time. Patients not only endure side effects from the medication, but they also develop psychological issues from spending so much time in the isolation ward, according to the associate oncologist at Vinmec Times City Hospital.
Dr. Yi has supported Ms. Dinh to undergo a stem cell transplant gently despite the fact that she experienced numerous adverse effects throughout treatment, including poor diet, itching, nausea, acid reflux, irritated limbs, and diarrhea. Dr. Yi has years of experience treating blood illnesses.
After nearly a month of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat multiple myeloma, Dinh was released from the hospital on March 23. She remembers: "There were evenings when I stayed awake and couldn't help but break down in tears alone. I was touched by the committed care that Vinmec's physicians and nurses offered her during the most trying days. Simply shed a few tears before inspiring yourself to fight the cancer valiantly. My relatives and doctors frequently give me advice. I started feeling significantly better three weeks following the transplant, and my body's pain was significantly diminished.
One week after being released from the hospital, I ran into her at a little house in Chuong My area. She was happy to tell me that she was able to walk normally at home and that she had eaten some rice and drank some fruit to ease her "sorrow."
She ate more and felt fuller and healthier as she put on weight. Now that she is safe, her husband and kids won't have to look after her. After nearly six months of "creating a hospital home," her husband, Nguyen Duc Tuan, was ecstatic to learn that his wife was once again well.
The devoted woman's eyes now reflect joy for Ms. Dinh. I have multiple myeloma, which is unfortunate, but the doctor gave me a lot of support so that I could get through treatment and rejoin my family. For sufferers like me, it provides comfort and great satisfaction, said Ms. Dinh.
