We just lost someone who we admire. She is Endang Rahayu Sedianingsih, a minister of
Health of the Republic of Indonesia. After battling lung cancer, The Minister of Health Endang
Rahayu Sedyaningsih, finally she passed away at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital,
Jakarta, Wednesday (2/5) at 11:41 pm.
Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih detected with lung cancer since
October 2010 or a year after the minister for the period 2009-2014. During the last 1.5 years, Endang began undergoing treatment
to fight the disease either within or outside the country. Treatment that had been undertaken by
Minister of Health, among others, local radiation and surgical frozen. The goal is to treat cancer locally and increase endurance. Her
conditions decreased from two days ago and was in critical condition since
Tuesday (1/5) morning. Condition of the cancer that spread to other parts of the
body makes Endang eventually passed away.
If we look at this, it turns out to be cancer was the most
frightening disease.This disease can affect anyone, no matter your age or
profession. Lung cancer cases hit our Minister of health was opened our
eyes that really does not warrant, whether the person is a farmer, teacher,
worker, doctor or another. The figure of Endang Rahayu is a doctor and the health
minister, who must be in the next life is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But the fact
is, God wills the other. She got lung cancer.
Smoking is a major cause of about 90% of cases of lung
cancer in men and about 70% of cases in women. The more cigarettes smoked, the greater the risk for lung
cancer. Only a small proportion of lung cancers (about 10% -15% in
men and 5% in women) caused by or inhaled substances encountered in the
workplace.Working with asbestos, radiation, arsenic, chromate, nickel,
chloromethyl ethers, mustard gas and coke oven emissions can cause lung cancer,
although usually only occurs in workers who also smoke.
However, the case that struck the deceased Endang Rahayu is
virtually impossible, if it caused she
is a smoker. So what caused her lung cancer? The answer is certainly varied, from food, secondhand smoke,
contracted or otherwise.
From this case, you need to know about the symptoms of lung
cancer. Symptoms of lung cancer depends on the type, location,
and how its spread. Usually the main symptom is a persistent cough. Chronic bronchitis patients who suffer from lung cancer is
often noticed that the cough is getting worse. Sputum may contain blood. If the cancer grows into the underlying blood vessels can
cause severe bleeding. Cancer can
cause wheezing due to constriction of the airways in or around the growth of
cancer. Bronchial obstruction can cause the collapse of the lungs
which is a ramification of the bronchi, the condition is called atelectasis. Another result is pneumonia with symptoms such as cough,
fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
Based on the case that struck her, we should also guard
against the disease. Prevention is the best effort we have to do to avoid lung
cancer.Try to stop smoking for smokers and smokers stay away from if
you are not a smoker. Secondhand smoke is far more dangerous than active smokers. Regular exercise and healthy eating is also an important
part to keep our bodies to be healthy.
Finally, farewell for Endang Rahayu sedianingsih. Your righteousness will be a good deed that will stay with
you in the sight of Allah SWT.
