① Knowledge Preparation

Awareness of cancer prevention is generally lacking among Chinese people, who often harbor a sense of complacency, believing that cancer is something that won't happen to them. It is important for everyone to accumulate some basic medical knowledge in daily life, understanding that cancer can be treated or at least managed, rather than giving up easily or missing treatment opportunities due to so-called "going home to wait for death." Having a certain level of understanding about cancer itself allows for a more objective and rational view of the condition, preventing panic and confusion. This is the first step toward seeking appropriate medical care.

② Psychological Support

Cancer treatment isn't just a matter between doctors and patients—it requires support and cooperation from all sides. Support from society and family is crucial. Just as a war needs solid logistical support to avoid defeat from the start or to secure the fruits of victory, so too does cancer care.

③ Financial Preparation

When it comes to preparation, many people first think of having enough money, and it must be said that this is indeed an important aspect, especially in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Of course, we hope for a well-developed healthcare system where everyone enjoys free medical care, but that’s not possible at present.

Cancer is a serious illness and very costly. Sometimes, money can't necessarily buy a life, but lack of money can certainly affect the choice of diagnosis and treatment plans. Different plans may have varying therapeutic effects, and sometimes there's a world of difference between having money and not having it. There are far too many heartbreaking cases where patients had to give up treatment due to financial constraints, and it's always distressing to think about. As a doctor, the only thing I can do is help patients save as much as possible and ensure every penny is spent wisely.
