Chapter 3 Liu Wen was diagnosed with leukemia

The rain outside gradually stopped, and this night was particularly long for the Han brothers. Their mother was seriously ill, which hit them hard.

Liu Wen, accompanied by Chen Xiaotong, chatted with Chen Xiaotong and fell asleep.

……

"Mom, wake up." Han Chen, who was crawling beside the bed, woke up in a daze.

Liu Wen didn't answer him at this time, she was very weak now, and she didn't have much strength. Seeing his mother's weak appearance, Han Chen didn't say anything more, so he looked at the liquid hanging on the bedside in a daze.

Han Chen washed up briefly, and wiped Liu Wen's face with a hot towel that had just been prepared.

"Good morning!" As soon as Han Chen heard this voice, he quickly cheered up, and when he heard his voice, it should be Director Ouyang.

"Well, will it be better than yesterday?" Director Ouyang asked Liu Wen.

"It's either a lot of pain, the fever has subsided, or the stomach is swollen and weak." Liu Wen saw Director Ouyang coming to check the ward, and slowly sat up from the bed with Han Chen's support.

"Well, take your time, the treatment needs a process, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so let's sit and wear it today. With me in your peace of mind! Director Ouyang humorously gave Liu Wen a thumbs up.

Han Chen had never seen such a large array of ward rounds, Director Ouyang was followed by 10 people, and the order of entering and leaving the ward was exactly the same, it turned out that the hierarchy between doctors was also obvious, Han Chen was thinking, if there were many people who followed him on ward rounds in the future, how majestic it would be.

As soon as they finished checking the room, Chen Xiaotong and Han Hong came in with breakfast, Liu Wen drank a few mouthfuls of rice soup, then waved his hand and stopped drinking, Liu Wen really had no appetite.

"Xiaotong, Hong'er, the two of you are fine here, go back today."

"Mom, a lot of things haven't been arranged yet," Han Hong said.

"Oh......, godmother, I just came back, and you drove me away." Chen Xiaotong stomped his feet anxiously.

"Poof......" Han Chen saw Chen Xiaotong's coquettish appearance, and he really didn't hold back.

"Okay, you two are busy, Xiaotong, you have to go back to Shanghai, and when your godmother is diagnosed, you will come back. Han Hong, the place where you work is not far from this hospital, if you have anything to ask your brother to call you, Chenchen is here. ”

Liu Wen thought about everything, she asked Dean Li at home, and it would take a week to be diagnosed. Han Hong didn't say anything more, stuffed a few hundred yuan into Han Chen's pocket and left.

After Chen Xiaotong left, Liu Wen's hospitalization fee account increased by 100,000 yuan.

On the cabinet next to Liu Wen's bedside, there is a letter that reads:

"If you don't give birth to me and raise me, you will not be rewarded for the rest of your life! You're going to get better. ”

Chen Xiaotong has been gone for the past 5 years, and after studying at Shanghai University of Finance, he has been following his father and investing in a smartphone company, and the current income is not bad.

After Chen Xiaotong left, Han Chen took Liu Wen to the blood research institute for a bone marrow puncture, and the doctor said that the results would come out within a week.

The week of waiting for the results is of great significance to Han Chen.

Han Chen also got acquainted with a friend, that is, the patient in the adjacent bed, a girl born on the same day, the same month and the same year as Han Chen, after several chemotherapy treatments, her hair has fallen out, she let Han Chen see her previous photos, it is simply two people, the devastation of the disease on people is indeed quite powerful, and she has been waiting for the right bone marrow matching for more than half a year, and there has been no suitable one. She told Han Chen that the doctor said that if she couldn't wait for the right bone marrow, her condition would deteriorate sharply, and she would be empty of people and money at that time, but the girl's father said that the first or the biggest victory would be.

This girl also made Han Chen remember deeply, which made Han Chen firmly apply for Haidong Medical College, and his dream is to save lives and help the wounded, which is also the dream of many medical students.

Time flies, it is the eighth day after being admitted to the hospital, after symptomatic treatment, Liu Wen can eat and drink, his mental state is much better, his spleen has decreased a lot, and Liu Wen is not so swollen.

On this day, Han Hong came to the hospital, and Chen Xiaotong also flew from Shanghai to Haidong, because today's most important examination results came out.

"Combined with your mother's symptoms, and the test results, the Ph chromosome and the BCR-ABL fusion gene are positive, I am very sure that she is chronic myeloid leukemia." Director Ouyang said to Han Hong when he saw the office. "Your mother is very lucky, she now has a special drug, Novartis' Gleevec just happens to be able to treat this disease, and the charity association happens to have an aid project, and then apply for it."

"Thank you so much Director Ouyang, you are our life-saver." Han Hong was about to kneel, but was stopped by Director Ouyang.

"Don't be like this, otherwise I'll explain to Lao Li, go back." Director Ouyang took a deep breath of cigarette.

After Han Hong told everyone about it, everyone was finally relieved.

With the help of Director Ouyang, Liu Wen successfully applied for the quota funded by the China Charity Association and got the medicine. After systematic treatment, Liu Wen recovered very well, his spleen was significantly reduced, his body temperature returned to normal, and his physical indicators were almost normal. My mental state is much better than before. Liu Wen was successfully discharged from the hospital after two weeks of hospitalization, and Liu Wen's husband Han Qiang also came when he was discharged from the hospital.

Liu Wen was ill, but it became Han Chen's indelible heart disease, and he was afraid that he would lose his mother without knowing when. When Han Chen accompanied his mother to the hospital, he was very touched by his mother's strength. In the college entrance examination in 2012, he got quite good results and applied for the clinical medicine major of Haidong Medical College, and was admitted. On the afternoon of receiving the notice, Han Qiang and his wife called their neighbors to their home to share the happiness.

(At the end of the article, I would like to add a little knowledge to you: the discovery of imatinib is definitely a miracle in the history of human medicine.) From the discovery of chromosomes in Philadelphia in 1960 to the launch of imatinib in 2001, it spanned more than 40 years. It is the first molecularly targeted drug marketed in human beings, and the first drug designed based on the molecular mechanism of cancer cells. The only drug in a phase I clinical trial with 100% remission in patients. The fastest drug approved in the history of the FDA, directly receiving the green channel after the end of the Phase I clinical trial. In the phase III clinical trial, imatinib improved the 5-year survival rate for chronic myeloid leukemia from 30% to 89%. Tens of thousands of leukemia patients have their lives changed. His discovery has been followed by two famous pharmaceutical companies, and the merger of Novartis has achieved 5 academicians of the American Academy of Sciences, 5 Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award winners, and 1 National Natural Science Award winner. Of course, thanks to Novartis Pharmaceutical, it is a very great company, they spent a lot of money on the development of Gleevec, spent a lot of money on research and development, and it is not easy to take a huge risk all the way down, which is why Gleevec is expensive. Novartis' Gleevec Patient Assistance Program was officially launched in China in September 2003 and many patients have been treated. )
