Chapter 379 Targeted Therapy
For a long time, Zhang Fengnan smiled and said: "My nephew, in the end, is doing great things, and he is very thoughtful in all aspects, I think this matter can be done." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiaodong, I think so, according to the policy, the first child is a girl's agricultural household registration, and you can have another child, so Xueyan and his family, they should have another one recently, so let your third aunt and uncle come to help take care of the child for a few years, and it just so happens that Tianxin and the next child are also connected, and we, as elders, also have this obligation. A few acres of land in my hometown, I was fooling around in my hometown, and now it is also mechanized, and I can cope with it. ”
"As for the house, I still have some money in my hand, Xueyan and his wife have been working hard to earn money in the past few years after they got married, I paid 100,000 yuan, this little couple is estimated to be able to take out 50,000 yuan, I heard that what kind of loan can I do, let's buy a small house to live in by ourselves, and it won't cause you too much trouble, do you think it's okay?"
The third uncle's words were very sincere, and Mu Dong breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
He understood that his cousin's family came to defect sincerely, and they planned to make a living by working hard, not to take advantage of the autumn wind. Not only did he put his posture very low, but he also had the intention of buying a house and resettlement.
Although, the 150,000 they can come up with, they really can't buy a house, and even if they do, it is difficult to live in this family.
What's more critical is that if the third uncle is really found to have a physical problem tomorrow, it is difficult to say whether the 150,000 yuan can be enough.
Mu Dong opened his mouth and said, "Third uncle, you can understand my approach, I am very grateful." My cousin is still young and has a low education, so there is nothing wrong with enduring some hardships. As for the problem of the house, 150,000 yuan is indeed a bit insufficient, but you don't have to worry, as long as they work hard and buy a house or something, it is not very difficult. If you decide to come to work, for the time being, I will arrange a house, it will not be very large, two bedrooms and one living room, but it can be lived in in a short time. ”
Zhang Fengnan was overjoyed at first, and then asked cautiously: "Xiaodong, the house in Quancheng is very expensive, right?"
Mu Dong said with a smile: "Generally, it is seven or eight thousand one square meters, and the house I live in is almost ten thousand smaller." ”
I'm obedient, even if it's 7,000, 150,000 can buy 21 square meters, which is equivalent to an east house in the countryside, what can I do with this house?
Looking at the third uncle's distraction, Mu Dong smiled: "Third uncle, you don't have to worry about the house, as long as Xueyan and his younger siblings work hard, and the two of them earn 100,000 a year, the house is not a problem." ”
In fact, Mu Dong still has an idea, if the two cousins really work hard, and occasionally accompany their mother to be happy, what about pulling a little?
The worst is that I will lend money to help you make a down payment, and you can work slowly on your own, which is always possible.
But this cannot be said now, everything depends on their performance.
Besides, the third uncle's physical condition is not clear now, and it is difficult to say how the situation will develop.
Everything was said, everyone was happy, a drink, and the joy was dispersed.
Subsequently, Mu Dong sent the third uncle's family to the hotel opposite the community, and told the third uncle not to drink any more water after 10 o'clock in the evening, so that he could check tomorrow and leave immediately.
Back home, my mother said with a smile: "Xiaodong, don't worry, Xueyan, this kid is sincere, I like it, he will definitely be able to work hard." ”
Mu Dong smiled: "Mom, don't worry, as long as they go to work well, I will take care of them a little." ”
Yes, this time, Mu Ma's eyes narrowed into a slit with even more joy. Mu Dad pouted on the side.
There is no way, after some women get married, they become slaves. Whether her mother's family treats her well or not, she is a slave. Obviously, Mu Ma is this kind of person.
Mu Dong hesitated for a long time, and finally said to Mu's mother: "Mom, I see that the third uncle's face is very bad, will there be other problems?"
Mu Ma waved her hand: "If there is anything wrong, it will be old tracheitis, if you want me to say, it is the same whether you check it or not." ”
Mu Dong couldn't say anything, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Early the next morning, Mu Dong first got up to exercise for a while, and then went to the hotel to pick up his third uncle's family for breakfast. Of course, the third uncle didn't eat, he watched everyone perform from the sidelines.
Tianxin, who is familiar with everyone, no longer recognizes life, but calls the elders sweetly, and the one taught by aunts, aunts, uncles, and aunts is called a cordial, and that is called a polite. It seems that Zhang Xueyan has a family of two children, and his education for children is still in place.
Mu Dong was thundered by her "uncle", and he is "uncle"?
Isn't the child of my cousin's family just calling himself uncle?
But how can it feel so strange!
At half past eight, Mu Dong personally took his third uncle and cousin to the hospital. The third aunt, Liu Zuohong and Tianxin stayed at home, and everyone felt that there was no big problem.
However, the problem is really not small.
Wang Zhendong personally arranged the examination, and soon got the chest CT film, he quietly called Mu Dong aside, and said in a low voice: "Brother Mu, the situation is not good, I highly suspect that it is lung cancer." ”
Mu Dong's head buzzed, and he froze for a moment.
Although he felt that the third uncle's face was wrong yesterday, Mu Dong still had a huge luck mentality, the reason was that in his memory of another time and space, the third uncle did not have health problems.
But now, how can it be so serious? How can it be lung cancer?
After a long time, Mu Dong relieved himself and asked, "Brother Wang, can you confirm it?"
Wang Zhendong said with a straight face: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, what can be confirmed now is that there is a tumor the size of a duck egg in the lung, and given that the patient has a long-term smoking history, the possibility of malignancy is extremely high." Further examination is required for specific situations. ”
While the two were talking, a doctor sent another examination report, Wang Zhendong browsed it, and said helplessly: "The sputum test results are out, and it is basically determined that it is lung cancer." ”
Mu Dong's tears fell suddenly.
Although, for so many years, he and several uncles have not been close, although he has always had a lot of complaints about the three uncles, but at this moment, when he learned that the third uncle really had a terminal illness, Mu Dong still couldn't suppress the heartache.
After all, this is his elder, his blood relative, and his maternal uncle!
Seeing Mu Dong crying silently there, Wang Zhendong's heart was a little sour, but fortunately, he was used to seeing similar scenes, and his heart had long been cultivated much harder.
He persuaded in a low voice, "Brother, let's discuss the treatment plan, right?"
When Mu Dong heard this, he quickly wiped his face and said, "Brother Wang, you said, as long as there is a little hope, I will do my best to treat it, and I will bear the cost." ”
Yes, Mu Dong decided, he will be responsible for the treatment of the third uncle.
Before, everyone lived a good life, and he could ignore it. But now when life and death are at stake, he can't back down.
I can take out a lot of money to help a child with a cleft palate who I don't know, how can I ignore my uncle's illness?
Wang Zhendong said: "Judging from the current situation, a final needle biopsy is needed to confirm the condition. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, there are two treatment options, one is traditional therapy, surgical removal of the tumor plus later chemoradiotherapy. The second is no surgery, only chemoradiotherapy, with targeted therapy. ”
Mu Dong asked eagerly, "Which one is more effective?"
Wang Zhendong said helplessly: "None of them dare to ensure that they are effective." Surgical excision may sound like cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but the risk of recurrence and metastasis after surgery remains. Targeted therapy, on the other hand, requires genetic testing, and only when appropriate gene mutations are detected can targeted therapy be carried out, which is very low, the same as hitting the luck. Crucially, targeted therapy is best performed abroad. ”
Going abroad? Mu Dong was stunned for a moment. The third uncle is a farmer, he can't speak Mandarin fluently, and he goes abroad for treatment, is it possible?
Wang Zhendong continued: "Brother Mu, I suggest that you go abroad for genetic testing as soon as possible, and if you are lucky enough to detect a suitable gene mutation, you will be treated abroad. If the fund test does not go well, they will return to their home country for traditional surgical treatment. ”
Mu Dong hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, it's no problem to go abroad, and I can also find someone to get the visa as soon as possible, but my third uncle's language?"
Wang Zhendong said: "You don't have to worry about this, I can help you contact the school where I studied abroad, the Massachusetts Medical College in the United States, and the Massachusetts General Hospital under the School of Medicine is an internationally renowned targeted therapy institution." As for the language, there are local medical intermediaries that provide services for Chinese, which can provide medical delivery and translation services, and at the same time, let Xin Lan hire one or two Chinese nannies who know foreign languages in the local area to assist in handling daily affairs, which is basically enough. ”
Mu Dong understood that there were local people who specialized in this business and provided services for Chinese people to go to the United States for medical treatment, which was great.
He immediately made a decision: "Brother Wang, then you work hard, help contact the hospital and intermediaries, and then let Xin Lan go to the local area as soon as possible to coordinate accommodation and other living matters, and I will prepare my passport and visa immediately." ”
Wang Zhendong said: "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately, now we will do the needle biopsy first, and complete the final diagnosis." ”
……
At 11 a.m., the results of the needle biopsy came out, and the last trace of luck was shattered, and the lung adenocarcinoma was in the middle stage.
At half past eleven, when he returned home, Mu Dong gathered his family and announced a message with a heavy face.
The third uncle's tracheitis caused a lung infection and needs to be hospitalized, and now there is an opportunity to go abroad for treatment, which can quickly control the condition, and he wants to arrange for the third uncle to go abroad for treatment and go to the United States!
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
The third aunt took the lead in wiping away her tears, and Mu's mother also burst into tears instantly, and everyone else was stunned.
Mu Dong continued: "Without further ado, now we need to determine the person who will accompany you in the United States as soon as possible, I suggest that my cousin Zhang Xueyan go abroad to accompany me, and at the same time, I have contacted a special translator and nanny in the United States, which can ensure the convenience of your life in the United States." As for the cost, I bear it all. ”
