"Then what kind of illness is my mother?" The patient's daughter asked.

"I suspect it's 'primary systemic amyloidosis.'" Guo Xiang said.

"What transgender?" Mother and daughter are confused, they haven't heard of it, most people say kidney disease, heart disease, leukemia or something, but purpura rarely hears and understands a little, what amyloidosis or what?

"Is it because you eat too much starch? What does it have to do with starch? The patient asked.

"It has nothing to do with starch." Guo Xiang shook his head, "It is a disease in which proteins in the body are deposited in the intercellular spaces of the whole body like starch, thus destroying the function of cells and organs. ”

"Like your mother is now, the deposits on the skin are skin amyloidosis, so it bleeds when you touch it, and there is not only the skin, you see her tongue, it is so big, and the ones on it are not the tongue coating but also the protein deposits, not only that, but she said those uncomfortable places......"

"I suspect that there is a problem, this disease is amyloid deposition where there is a lesion, for example, the deposition in the heart will lead to cardiac insufficiency, and the deposition in the kidney will lead to kidney damage until uremia, which organ will be damaged."

The faces of the mother and daughter changed greatly, "Then none of my mother's internal organs are good?" The patient's daughter asked.

"I don't know yet, so I want to check, do a full check." Guo Xiang emphasized.

"This disease is also a clinical manifestation of myeloma, and the most serious point is myeloma, but the treatment is almost the same, all of them are hormone or chemotherapy, or bone marrow autologous transplantation!" Guo Xiang said.

"Chemotherapy, transplantation? So is this cancer? Mother and daughter were taken aback.

"If it is not to the extent of myeloma, it still needs to be treated in this way, which is a more serious disease." Guo Xiang said, "Of course, it is still necessary to confirm the diagnosis, and do the examination first, right?" ”

The mother and daughter glanced at each other, and the daughter pulled her mother to the door, "Mom, why don't we change hospitals, I heard that this place is precious!" ”

"But what if the doctors in other hospitals don't know about it? You see, it's not like we haven't been to other hospitals before, and it's not that we haven't found out after suffering so many sins and taking so many medicines......" the patient worried.

"Then who knows if what she said is true, I heard that private hospitals are black-hearted." The patient's daughter pouted.

The mother is in a complicated mood, and her daughter is reluctant to give money, "I still have some savings, let the eldest and second child make some money tomorrow to come over......"

"Mom, that's not what I meant." The patient's daughter blushed.

"I'm still in this hospital, I don't want to toss, I want to check it when I go to other hospitals, I've inquired about the equipment in this hospital is imported, I can check what others can't, I want to treat, I don't want to die yet." The patient's face was a little ugly.

"Mom, I didn't say I wouldn't let you be cured,...... Alas, forget it, check it and check it! The patient's daughter was helpless, she didn't want to bear a reputation for being unfilial.

The two walked up to Guo Xiang again, and the patient said, "Doctor, then please give it an examination, and you can tell me what tests to do." ”

"Good!" Guo Xiang nodded, "But there are a lot of checks, and you can't finish them in a day or two, so let's be hospitalized!" ”

"Okay, I'll be hospitalized." The patient nodded.

Guo Xiang gave the patient a hospitalization list, and then a checklist, and said some precautions.

After a few days, the results of the examination came out, and it was indeed systemic amyloidosis, which was actually similar to bone marrow cancer, but the indicators were relatively mild and almost reached, and each organ had different degrees of damage.

It is still necessary to treat bone marrow cancer in the same way.

"One is chemotherapy and the other is an autologous bone marrow transplant!" Guo Xiang said, "Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to treat cancer, which may take more than half a year, and this disease cannot be completely cured, but can only improve the quality of life." ”

"Autologous bone marrow transplantation is a bone marrow transplant, but unlike leukemia, this bone marrow can be used by itself, and there is no need for matching, and there is no fear of rejection or anything."

In fact, in later generations, some leukemias can also be transplanted with autologous bone marrow.

"How can I still use my bone marrow if I have a problem?" The patient was puzzled.

"It's processed, which is to take a part of your own bone marrow, treat it to kill cancer cells, and then re-inject it into the bone marrow. However, our hospital already has a stem cell separator, which isolates stem cells to kill cancer cells, and then injects good stem cells back into your body. ”

"But the cost of this operation is very high, it costs 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan." Guo Xiang said.

This operation will cost more than 100,000 or 200,000 in later generations, and now in the early 90s, 10,000 or 20,000 is still needed.

"So expensive?" The patient's daughter cried out, and the current salary is only three or four hundred a month, and only three or four thousand a year, which is several years' salary.

Her mother's generation had even less money, and almost all of her life's savings were gone.

People can live well when they are not sick, as long as they are seriously ill, the money for a lifetime is only enough to see a doctor.

Therefore, some people say that people use their lives to make money in the first half of their lives, and they use money to earn their lives in the second half of their lives.

"Look, if you want to be treated, you can make up for the medical bills?" Guo Xiang said that now public hospitals have to pay money before treatment, not to mention that she is a private hospital.

"I don't have enough money right now, so let's go back and scrape together the money first." The patient said that her life savings were only a few thousand yuan, which was not enough.

"Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded, whether it depends on nature and they have the final say, she has already told them the method and the money to be used, and they weigh it themselves.

The two walked out, and Guo Xiang heard them talking outside.

"Mom, it's too expensive, let's go to another hospital?"

"That's fine!"

Guo Xiang smiled, if you want to say that the stem cell separator is only available here, and other hospitals really don't have it, but if you directly draw bone marrow, it is not impossible, but it is even more guilty.

If you go to a cancer hospital, you can see it, but the beds in public hospitals are tight, and it is not so easy to see.

Each has its pros and cons.

There are no patients for the time being, Guo Xiang entered the medical records into the computer, and there is no network yet, but she has already bought a computer, and some information can still be stored in the computer for later search.

At this time, footsteps came in, and Guo Xiang looked up and saw that it was You Li, the woman who had said that she was pregnant with Gu Zhennan's child.

It's April, the weather is warm, but it's not hot yet, Yuri is already wearing a dress, and it's a maternity dress, which is still rare in this period.

It was December when she came to make trouble, and it was found out that she was more than a month pregnant, and now it should be more than five months, and her belly is already quite big, I don't know if it's because she is wearing a skirt, it looks very big.

She looked beautiful in a bright red maternity dress and light makeup, but it was a little too fashionable in this era.

Guo Xiang glanced at her lightly, "Come to the pregnancy test?" ”

Last time, I was going to sue Fu Peiwen, but then because Fu Peiwen didn't do it after the accident, the money promised to Yuli naturally hasn't been given yet, and today is asking for money?
