Chapter 60: Shall We Go Home?
"That. Who are you a patient? The doctor lifted his glasses and looked at Xing'er with a worried face.
"I'm her daughter." Xing'er pursed her lips, which was a knee-jerk action caused by nervousness.
"I said that you young people nowadays rarely go home at all because you take care of your career all day long, right? Why don't you care about your parents' bodies at all? If the patient is persuaded to have surgery early, the chances of success will be much greater. The doctor sighed, he had seen a lot of such cases.
"Doctor, what kind of disease did my mother have?" When Xing'er heard this, she panicked even more.
I saw the doctor hand over a thick stack of checklists, "These are some of the patient's checklists today and before, the situation is the same as I thought, it is getting worse and worse, I also advised the patient to let her have surgery as soon as possible, but she said at the time that she would go home to discuss, now it seems that she is afraid that you are worried, but, such a big disease, can not be treated!" You see, this is the result of today's examination, which is obviously much worse than last time! ”
Xing'er couldn't understand the letters and numbers on the checklist, but the more she couldn't understand them, the more uneasy she became, and then turned to the page of the diagnosis, and the dazzling words on it: gallbladder malignancy.
Malignant tumors, isn't it... Cancer!
Xing'er's hand shook, the information was scattered all over the ground, and she squatted down in a panic to pick it up, but the tears rushed out uncontrollably, she didn't want to believe it, she didn't want to believe that this was the truth, she took a deep breath, tried to suppress the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and her voice was a little choked, "Doctor, this, could it be a misdiagnosis?" ”
"Hey, little girl, that's not right for you to say that. This is for malignant tumors, our hospital is the most authoritative hospital in the city, if you don't believe in our diagnosis, you can transfer to the hospital at any time, I won't stop you. The doctor was a little annoyed, this family member, he didn't care about the old ones, even if he blamed the hospital, he didn't carry this pot.
Xing'er knew that the doctor had misunderstood her, she just didn't believe that her mother would get such a disease, but the facts were in front of her, so she had to believe it...
"I just said something like that because I couldn't accept it for a while, please don't mind." Xing'er apologized, and was more concerned about her mother's condition at the moment, "Doctor, my mother's condition, is it okay to have surgery right now?" ”
The doctor who heard Xing'er's apology softened his face a little, but when he asked about the treatment plan, his face became solemn, "The patient's current condition really needs to be operated on immediately, otherwise, he won't be able to get off for a few days, but..."
"But what?" Can this doctor finish it all at once, don't sell it, Xing'er is about to die.
"Hey, this disease can't be delayed, it was originally found out in the middle and late stages, and if you do surgery at that time, the success rate is much higher, not to mention, if you maintain it well, you can live a few more years. However, now, not only the gallbladder, but also a malignant tumor with a diameter of three centimeters has been found in the skull, and the risk of this operation will be particularly large, so it is necessary to inform the family that the success rate of this operation is about 10%-30%. ”
"Doctor, what happens if the operation fails...?" The success rate is so low!
Intracranial... Is this a craniotomy?
"I can't guarantee this, but I'll do my best." The doctor said it very tactfully, but Xing'er could understand the meaning of his words, and her mind was clouded.
Xing'er didn't know how she left the doctor's office, she hid in the toilet at the moment, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry, she was afraid that she would cry and her nose would be red and her eyes would be swollen and her eyes would be seen by her mother.
I tried hard to pinch my thighs, adjust my emotions, and wash my cold water face, and then returned to the ward.
Through the glass door, seeing that the mother inside seemed to have woken up, Xing'er took a deep breath, patted her face vigorously, squeezed out a smile, gently pushed the door open, and walked in.
"Mom, you're awake, you scared me to death just now, didn't I just drink some wine, are you so angry?" Xing'er walked in as if she was fine.
"Xing'er..."The mother wanted to speak and stopped, her heart was very complicated and entangled at the moment, and she glanced at it secretly, wondering if Xing'er already knew about her condition.
If you know, why does Xing'er have such an expression?
If you don't know...
Oh, this is a hospital, how could she not know?
Hey, thinking of this, my mother couldn't help sighing, Xing'er, this child, has been sensible since he was a child, he must be pretending to be fine, afraid that he would be worried...
"Mom, do you want to eat some fruit? Just now I saw that there are your favorite grapes sold downstairs, which are quite fresh, so I'll buy them for you. Xing'er was panicked by her mother's inquiring eyes, and for some reason, she just wanted to escape at the moment.
"No, I don't want to eat it. Xing'er, sit down, Mom has something to tell you. "My mother knows that her illness is already very serious, and the same painkiller used to be able to manage for ten hours, but now it can only be managed for two or three hours...
"Mom, the doctor said, you need to rest more now, or talk less." Xing'er didn't want to hear it, and she was even more afraid to hear it...
But the old mother looked at Lin Xing'er very seriously, and gently patted the side of her hospital bed, "Xing'er, you sit here." ”
Xing'er was stunned, but sat down obediently, and then the touch that belonged to her mother came from the back of her hand, but it didn't have the warmth and delicacy in her memory, and it was replaced by a strange coldness and roughness.
Mom's hand, when did it become like this?
Looking closely at my mother's pale and yellow face, I don't know when fine lines have appeared, and some silver threads are faintly visible on her temples...
My heart was instantly blocked, like knocking over a five-flavor bottle...
"Xing'er, I know, you kid, you are reckless, and you swallow any grievances in your stomach. However, do you know that the more you don't want your mother to worry, the more your mother worries about you. Promise Mom, after I go back, I will reconcile with my son-in-law, as long as I see you happy, Mom will rest assured..."Mom gently held Xing'er's little hand, her face full of love.
Xing'er's face sank, and she reconciled with Mu Chen? The two of them never had a good time...
But this matter, at this moment, Xing'er chose to suffocate in her heart, and she would not say it, for fear that her mother would worry.
"You kid, you can't really divorce your son-in-law, right? How can marriage be child's play, and it will be concluded and divorced? You..."Mom saw that Xing'er didn't respond for a long time, and her heart suddenly became anxious.
Xing'er hurriedly interrupted her mother's words: "Mom, it's not what you think, yesterday, the two of us just quarreled a few words, and I drank too much when I was not happy for a while." ”
"Then you tell Mom, why did you two quarrel? It can't be that he has a woman outside! Good boy, what did you say in front of me at the beginning, but now you actually say that you will turn your face, see how I clean him up! "My mother was emotional, her son-in-law was so handsome, there must have been many shameless women who took the initiative to post it!
Mom's posture of planning to fight scared Xing'er to reassure, "Oh, no, Mom, you misunderstood, he didn't, it's just that he worked overtime all day during this time, and I complained that he didn't accompany me much, so I just quarreled a few words..."
"Xing'er, it's not that my mother said you, this is your fault, man, career is important, as a virtuous helper, you should support and encourage him silently behind you, right, how can you be noisy."
"Well, I know, I'll go back to him later to reconcile, okay?" Xing'er has no rebellion in the past, and now she nods obediently to accept her mother's education, and whatever her mother says is what she says.
For Xing'er's sincere attitude, my mother was very satisfied, but the next second she remembered a very important thing, "Xing'er, I have a small iron box locked in my bedside table, that thing is left for you, the key is under the pillow, promise me, you can't read it now, and when I leave later, you can open it again..."
"Mom, what stupid thing are you talking about! Aren't you good..."Xing'er couldn't listen anymore and interrupted her mother.
"Xing'er, I know, you already know, promise Mom, don't spend that unjust money, you know that Mom is afraid of pain, and she loves beauty, she doesn't want to be cut by a knife, and she doesn't want to leave a scar..."
"But..."Xing'er was very entangled at the moment, whether this operation could be done or not, if it failed, her mother might not be able to get off the operating table!
She didn't dare to take any chances, but without surgery, there was no hope at all...
"Xing'er, mom wants to go home." Seeing that the water in the hanging bottle was about to bottom out, my mother sat up directly, rang the bell and asked the nurse to pull it out.
People who have suffered from cancer, or the family members of cancer patients, know one thing, that is, the terminal stage of cancer cannot be cured at all, especially the cancer cells that metastasize everywhere, can only be treated in a targeted manner, and can be treated wherever it is uncomfortable, such as stomach distension, diarrhea and so on.
If the cancer hurts, then you can only take painkillers.
"No, Mom, we can't go home now, even if we don't have surgery, we can still have chemotherapy!" Yes, chemotherapy, Xing'er just heard the doctor mention that if there is no surgery, chemotherapy is the best choice at present.
"Xing'er, listen to Mom, let's go home, let's go home, okay?"
Xing'er knows that her mother is reluctant to spend money, but if this disease is not treated, her mother's body will not last long...
Seeing that her mother got out of bed and put on her shoes, Xing'er couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her waist tightly, and choked up: "Mom, I beg you, just listen to me this time, let's be in the hospital obediently, listen to the doctor, treat how you want, okay?" ”
"Silly boy, damn the body, I know myself, don't waste that money..."
"But I don't want to..."
The mother naturally knew what Xing'er was thinking, so she secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then patted Xing'er's back, like when she was a child, to soothe her uneasy emotions, "Xing'er, my mother wants to go home, I don't want to be in this cold hospital, I really don't like it here..."
