Chapter 024 has something to do with Jobs
What kind of experience is it to be drenched from head to toe on a dog day?
In Wenming's mind, it must be a very comfortable thing.
But what if this basin of ice water is poured from head to toe in the cold of winter?
"What happened, why did you suddenly have such an expression?"
Wen Ming looked at the Sith Barrister who suddenly walked in, looked at the Sith Barrister's sad expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
James and the others next to the hospital bed also looked strange.
Sith wanted to laugh and put away his sadness, but he couldn't. After taking a deep breath, Sith said with a serious expression: "The hospital wants to give you another examination, and this time the examination will be more detailed." β
As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of several people in the ward changed, and although James and the others were still students, they were able to guess some approximations.
Wen Ming nodded expressionlessly and did not speak, because the bad premonition in his heart had become more and more serious, as if he had already felt what he would get after this meticulous examination.
After a brief communication, Wen Ming got up from the hospital bed.
"I just haven't eaten in a long time, so you don't have to be so nervous."
Declined the kindness of James and others who wanted to support him, Wen Ming followed Sith and began to do an examination, when Wen Ming was inspecting, James asked Sith with some hesitation: "He...... What's wrong? β
Sith didn't say it explicitly in front of Wen Ming, but in front of James and others, he didn't hide it.
"Doctors found cancer cells in his body."
Nothing needed to be explained, just the word cancer cell would allow James and the others to thoroughly understand why the Sith's expression was the way it was.
But they don't want to believe it.
"How can there be cancer cells?"
Davy, a freshman at Harvard Hospital, knows more about the word cancer than the average person.
"The last time Wen Ming was in a car accident, didn't he already have a full body check-up? There should have been no cancer cells found at that time, so how could it be that in these four months, you could have got cancer? β
In fact, the most puzzling one present was the Sith, the last time Wenming had a car accident, he was the one who handled all the affairs. At that time, Wen Ming did have a full body examination, and no disease was found. Except, of course, some trauma.
But it has only been more than four months since the last full body check-up, how can it be possible to get cancer? And......
Cage asked with a solemn expression: "Doesn't that mean that even if Wen Ming really has cancer, it is only in the early stage, and the earlier the cancer is found, the better the treatment effect?" Isn't it curable when it was discovered at an early stage? β
David was not as naΓ―ve as Cage, and he asked, "Mr. Sith, did the doctor say what kind of cancer Wen Ming has?" Where are the cancer cells found? β
Sith let out a long sigh and was silent for a while before he said, "The doctor said that it is very likely to be pancreatic cancer. β
Cage and James and others don't know what pancreatic cancer is, or even where the pancreas is, but both Syth and David know very well.
The reason for Sith's clear explanation was that the doctor had already communicated with him further.
David sat directly on the lounge chair next to him, then bent over, covered his face with his hands and stopped talking.
James and Cage looked at Sith with a sad expression, and then looked at David's performance, how could they not know the severity of this pancreatic cancer?
"David, I want you to tell me everything you know!"
James and Cage both crouched in front of Davy and pressed their hands on David's shoulders.
After a while, David raised his head with red eyes and said in a low voice, "Pancreatic cancer...... Less than 1 percent of those who have this cancer can survive 5 years. β
In a word, James and Cage understood the horror of pancreatic cancer and why Sith and David behaved like this when cancer was discovered so early.
"If you don't get treatment, you can only survive for about four months. If you have bypass surgery, you can live for about 7 months, and if you have excision, you can live for about 16 months. β
David continued to say in a low and somewhat hoarse voice: "I read about pancreatic cancer a few days ago, it is the senior seniors preparing their graduation thesis, according to their statistics, the world's patients with pancreatic cancer, even after treatment, can live for a short period of two years, only 40%. β
"But doesn't pancreatic cancer happen more often in people over the age of 40?"
There is a 40% chance of living for two years, a 1% chance of living for five years, and after five years, it is a blessing to be able to live one more day.
James sat down on the floor, and Cage stood up and said, "I'm going out for a cigarette." β
People's feelings are very strange, James and the others and Wen Ming are only classmates for half a year, although the relationship is good, but it is not to the point where it is now. But later, Wen Ming's tragedy made James and others have strong sympathy, so they decided to help Wen Ming relax.
However, this relaxation made Wen Ming shipwrecked, and he was stranded on an isolated island for so long, and he narrowly escaped many times.
Therefore, James and others felt very guilty about Wen Ming.
Guilt is one of the emotions that most likely to deepen feelings in interpersonal interactions. Of course, we are talking about those who have no problem with their character. If you are a person with a problem with your character, how can you feel guilty? They just take it for granted.
For various reasons, James and others have a very good relationship with Wen Ming. And Wen Ming, who is alone in this world, also hopes that he can have a few more friends.
The performance of James and others now undoubtedly proves that these people have regarded Wen Ming as their true friend.
Sith also sat next to David, his voice also a little deep, but with a glimmer of hope.
"The graduation thesis you talked about, the topic you talked about, did you say...... Do you have a new way to treat pancreatic cancer at Harvard? β
Even the Sith himself knew that the odds were incredibly low.
How many years has cancer been present? No one has ever been able to treat cancer, and even to improve the survival rate, it depends on the patient's own condition.
David shook his head and didn't speak.
They are all young and about to finish their first year at Harvard, and in the years to come, they will continue their studies at Harvard, or even longer.
After the age of 30, it is when they really say to the world to change, either they are changed by the world, or they change the world.
There are forty years old, fifty years old, sixty years old, and so on.
But their good friend Wen Ming is no longer 30 years old and beyond, and even life after the age of 25 is gone.
In this case, how can it not be sad?
James, who was sitting on the ground, said with red eyes: "Maybe it's a misdiagnosis, maybe after this examination, the doctor will announce that Wen Ming doesn't have cancer, and he doesn't have any pancreatic cancer." β
All three of them were silent, they all knew that although there was no cure for cancer, there was no need to suspect that there was no need to suspect that there was a way to detect whether they had cancer.
Cage doesn't know how many cigarettes he smoked outside and never came back.
Wen Ming, who had completed the second inspection, looked at the three people in front of him with a serious expression, and compared with when he was about to check, the expressions of these three people were normal.
However, James and David's somewhat reddened eyes have betrayed their true emotions in their hearts.
Wen Ming sighed and said, "I'm an adult and I don't have any immediate family members, so if you know something, you can tell me directly." β
Wen Ming, who already had a premonition in his heart, suddenly felt that his disaster this time was related to Jobs, the Jobs in his dream.
