Chapter 66: Surgery
Qin Li had never eaten such a pins and needles in his life.
When he giggled and served Xue Mianmian vegetables, he even thought that in ancient times, someone sent a severed head meal to his family, I am afraid that it is similar to his current mood.
Although Huo Yi and Lu Weibei also pretended that everything was normal, they were also a little stiff in their speech and behavior.
Especially Lu Weibei, she could even hear the heartbeat of herself, as heavy as a drum.
Xue Mianmian's condition has changed, and all her previous inferences may be wrong.
Now it seems that Xue Mianmian's chemotherapy in the last phase should have lost its effect. Then what she is about to face is the improvement of therapy.
Each treatment option has its own risks, and in the unlikely event that it can even lead to direct death. Just because Xue Mianmian can survive the previous treatment does not mean that she can survive the future treatment.
If she didn't guess wrong, snatching Xue Mianmian three days later should be the risk brought by the new treatment.
Maybe it's the acute liver damage caused by the drug, maybe it's the immune storm caused by immunotherapy, or maybe even the serious infection caused by the weakened immunity during the treatment.
Step by step, step by step crisis.
Now she could only secretly pray that her superpowers could help Xue Mianmian choose the safest and longest-lived treatment plan.
Finally, the meal was over, Qin Li said in the voice that was as cheerful as possible, "Cory is busy in the afternoon, let's go back for a follow-up visit first, I contacted it just now, Teacher Liu and Teacher Duan just have time." ”
"Do you still have work in the afternoon? You are not in a very good state today, is it okay to go back?" Xue Mianmian said strangely.
Qin Li hesitated.
"He's saying we're busy. In the afternoon, Mr. Duan has an outpatient clinic, and he has to work overtime every time he opens an outpatient clinic, and this time you happen to be an acquaintance, so I will show you in advance, so as not to delay his energy. Huo Yi was busy playing the round.
"Okay, it's also good to let Mr. Duan drink more time on the water toilet. Let's go, then. Xue Mianmian readily agreed.
When the group of four arrived at the office, Duan Zhen and Liu Wei, professors of general surgery and medical oncology, had already read the medical records for a while. Lin Fei's urgent MRI results have also been sent to them.
Seeing the four people coming in, Liu Wei took off his reading glasses, "Mianmian is here, what we will talk about for a while is too professional, you must think it is boring." Why don't you go out with your friends for a while? ”
"Let's listen to it. Qin Li clenched his fists tightly, his face pale.
The previous decision was made by him for Mianmian, but how much Mianmian suffered under this decision was also seen with his own eyes. This time, no matter what, he also hopes that Mianmian can make this decision on his own.
Make a decision that he may not like, but she will definitely like.
Liu Wei glanced at Qin Li, who was tense all over, and sighed, "Okay, if you think it through, there's nothing bad about it." ”
Xue Mianmian only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold Qin Li, only to find that his hand was even colder.
She opened her palm and wrapped Qin Li's hand, hoping to provide him with even a little warmth.
Liu Weidao, "At present, the continuous tumor cells have become resistant to chemotherapy drugs, and the emergence of drug resistance in such a short period of time has indeed exceeded our expectations, but from the perspective of medication, it cannot be said that there is no way at all." Although the standard adjuvant therapy is now resistant, we can also try some new drugs, which may have good results. Huo Yi should know that he went to track a pancreatic cancer patient who used olaparib today, and the drug also worked. ”
"But there is a problem at the moment, before our goal was radical resection, drug treatment is a preparation before surgery, the purpose is to shrink the tumor and facilitate resection. Compared with the last time, the tumor is still a little bigger, but it is much smaller than when it was first diagnosed. If you are willing to take a little more risk, we can also do a radical excision. But the risk is certainly greater than we estimated at the beginning. Duan Zhen said, "If you continue to try medicine, it may depend on luck." At present, it seems that the growth rate of this tumor is not slow, and it is difficult to say whether there will be a chance to try radical resection if the drug does not respond. ”
"Of course, radical excision is not the only way. Even if radical resection is not possible, if the drug is effective, we can control the progression of the disease for a period of time, and if we are lucky, we can achieve clinical cure. Liu Wei added.
“…… If I'm lucky, if I don't have a radical resection, there is a high probability that I will still die of cancer, right?" asked Xue Mianmian with a white face.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Li closed his eyes.
Xue Mianmian's decision, he has already understood.
She wanted to take a risk, she wanted to fight with her life, and she wanted to be healed.
For cancer patients, the most luxurious healing.
Xue Mianmian turned his head to look at Qin Li, and found that his brows were furrowed, and his whole face turned pale.
Lu Weibie's face was a little better, but he looked very impatient, and his face even held back a trace of ruddy because of his anxiety.
Huo Yi's face was solemn, and he stood between the two, looking like he would have to pick him up if someone fainted.
She gritted her teeth and turned her head away from them, "Also, if I have surgery, the risk is mainly during the operation, or in the process of post-operative recovery?"
"If surgery is not done, the probability of clinical cure is indeed not particularly high, but it is not hopeless. Although rare, pancreatic cancer has the potential to be clinically curable. And we now have a lot of cutting-edge technologies, and in addition to the targeted therapy that I just mentioned, we can also try immunotherapy, which is relatively new. Liu Wei said.
"If you have surgery, we will definitely try our best to ensure your life safety during the operation, if we find that the tumor is complex after the laparotomy, and it is really impossible to perform radical resection, we may also choose palliative resection, or do not do resection, and directly close the abdomen. However, large tumors do bring some unpredictable risks. Duan Zhen said.
"In other words, even if I have surgery, I may not have a chance to cut out all the tumors, right?" Xue Mianmian asked in a trembling voice.
"We'll do our best. Duan Zhen said.
"If it is considered a cure, is there a greater probability of surgery or no surgery?" asked Xue Mianmian.
"It's hard for us to assess this at the moment. Duan Zhen said.
Xue Mianmian turned his head to look at Qin Li, the muscles in his body were tense, and he breathed in small gulps, even this breath was tight and restrained.
Qin Li knew in his heart that Mianmian tumors had strong mutation and could quickly become resistant to chemical drugs, and the expectations of subsequent drug treatment were not ideal. Her battle with cancer is more likely to be a battle of time than a battle.
Whether they can drag it out for a month, or three months, or half a year, they can't change the situation she had before she left.
She will become emaciated, she will become unable to move on her own, she will even have a foggy mind and slurred speech, she will fall into great pain that even painkillers cannot effectively relieve.
With just this glance, Xue Mianmian understood what her condition was in his cognition.
If she wanted a cure, taking the plunge and surgery right away was probably the only way to go.
"If I have surgery, what time will it be?" asked Xue Mianmian.
"If you're sure to have surgery, it's as soon as possible. But it's not that rushed, and you still have time to think about it. Duan Zhen said.
Xue Mianmian stopped for a few seconds and did not speak.
She's scared, too.
From her diagnosis to now, it is only a short time, not even two months. But in these dozens of days, she has already tasted the desire for life and the fear of survival.
She had always suspected that behind the door of fate, there would be death. She had also thought that this suspicion was more frightening than the arrival of death itself. And now, the door is open, and behind it there is indeed death.
How can you describe this feeling?
It was as if the hanging sword had finally fallen, but it pierced straight into his heart.
She used to think that it would be good if she could indeed know the date of her death, at least she could make some plans with peace of mind.
If you can accept your fate, then you don't have to struggle.
But now, more than anyone else, she wants to live.
But the price of survival is too great.
She was cornered.
As soon as her shoulders were warm, Xue Mianmian turned around, it turned out to be Qin Li, who didn't know when it started, and had already stood behind her.
Qin Li had calmed down, put his hand on her shoulder, and whispered to her, "Do what you want to do, I'm okay." ”
Xue Mianmian's eyes were instantly wet, she turned her head away, and said as calmly as possible, "It's okay, I've had this disease for a day or two, I've been thinking about it for a long time." I'm going to have surgery, the sooner the better. ”
Duan Zhen thought for a while and said, "That's it, you will be hospitalized today and start a physical examination, if there is no problem, I will give you an expedited operation on Sunday." ”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Duan. Xue Mianmian said.
Almost at the same time, Lu Weibei shouted, "No! This operation can't be done!"
Xue Mianmian turned his head, the tears in his eyes hadn't had time to rein, but he had already smiled softly, "What are you in a hurry now, I'm doing surgery, not suicide." Didn't Mr. Duan just say that he would try his best to ensure the safety of my life. However, when I had surgery, Mr. Duan came out and said that he couldn't cut it all and sewed me up directly, which was when I was in a hurry. ”
Lu Weibei looked at Qin Li and Duan Zhen's expressions, and became more and more convinced that this operation was definitely the culprit that killed Xue Mianmian on the operating table. Looking at Xue Mianmian's expression again, it made her lose her soul, it seems that Xue Mianmian is iron-hearted, and she has to do this operation.
She was full of confusion for a while, and she no longer knew how to control her behavior, so she directly dragged Xue Mianmian out of the room, leaving only a clueless "Don't come with you".
She stumbled and dragged Xue Mianmian to the top of the stairs.
Xue Mianmian had never seen Lu Weibei so gaffe, her whole face was flushed, and her eyes were also red.
"Don't, don't do that. I haven't gotten a death notice yet, have I? It's an operation, not a guillotine. Don't worry. Xue Mianmian said softly.
"Got it. Lu Wei was discouraged, and blurted out the truth.
"What?" Xue Mianmian was puzzled.
"The death notice has been obtained. Lu Weibei said in a dumb voice, "I can sometimes change other people's lives, and I can see the rest of the time of the people I have changed." Mianmian, you yourself were going to die seven days ago, but because I accidentally mentioned that ctDNA test, my lifespan was extended to Sunday. If you insist on having surgery, you'll die on Sunday. ”
