Chapter 25 Initial chemotherapy
In the company, He Hansheng worked as usual. He didn't tell anyone about his father's illness. He pretended to be relaxed, but he was very anxious inside, and he was thinking about how to borrow money.
He looked up and saw that there were a lot of people in the office, and walked out.
He wanted to find a relatively secluded place to call Jia Hao, so he went to the second floor.
On the corner of the second floor, I met Charmanti.
"Hansheng, where are you going?"
"I, I'll go to the workshop and have a look. What about you? ”
"Vice President Cai is looking for me, I'll go to his office."
The two hurried by, and Charmanti wanted to ask about Daddy He's illness, but before they could speak, they walked away from each other.
He Hansheng dialed Jia Hao's phone around the other corner.
"Jia Hao, what are you doing?"
"What else can I do, look at the stocks at home. What about you, at work? ”
"Hmm. I want to borrow some money, do you have one? "Although they are good friends, they still can't open their mouths to borrow money.
"Hmm. How much to borrow? ”
"My dad is sick and needs surgery, do you have forty or fifty thousand?"
"What's the disease?"
"Lung cancer." He Hansheng did not hide it.
"Yes, yes, but it's all in the stock market. In a hurry? Is it okay the day after tomorrow? I have to get my money out of the stock market. ”
"Yes. Anywhere before Saturday. ”
"Okay, no problem. Where is your dad going to have surgery? ”
"The Affiliated Hospital of the Youth Hospital, over there in Laoshan."
"Oh. My dad knew someone at the Youth Hospital, so I asked him if I could help. ”
"Good. Thank you. ”
"You're kind to me. I'll hang up first, and I'll ask now. ”
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, He Hansheng felt a little comforted in his heart, and he was secretly glad that he had a good buddy.
Before eating at noon, Jia Hao called.
"Hansheng, I asked my dad, my dad's friend is in the Youth Medical Affiliated Hospital in the north of the city, can your dad go there? If you go to Shibei, he will definitely help. ”
"Yes. My dad can go anywhere. ”
"When you go, I'll drive you there."
"We plan to go this Saturday."
"Well, good. I'll ask them to book a bed first. ”
"Okay, thank you so much."
On Friday morning, He Hansheng received a transfer of 50,000 yuan from Jia Hao. He was grateful to Jia Hao from the bottom of his heart, and it was a blessing in life to be able to make such a friend.
I'm going to accompany my dad to the hospital for surgery tomorrow. I will have to take time off work for the coming week. At the thought of asking for leave, he felt a little frightened. Because it's a hassle to take a leave of absence at the company. First of all, apply to the general manager, and after getting approved, take the fake note to go to Section Chief Hou to sign, and finally find Vice President Cai to sign. There is no last resort, and people generally do not ask for leave. But tomorrow my father will have surgery, no matter how troublesome it is, I have to ask for this leave. In order to get the approved leave slip again, he wrote the slip as soon as he went to work in the afternoon, and considering that it might take a long time, he took a week off. Then, bite the bullet and sign it step by step in order. But fortunately, the leaders are also at home, and everything is going well. Looking at the signed fake note, He Hansheng was both happy and regretful, happy because he could accompany his father to surgery tomorrow, but unfortunately because he was going to be deducted from his salary because he asked for leave, it was not much, and once he asked for leave, his salary this month was even less.
Finally got off work.
On the way home, he took out the money as he passed the bank. I originally wanted to take out all 50,000, but I thought that 50,000 was too much, and it was not safe to take so much cash. He took only 20,000. It's the first time I've withdrawn so much money, and I can't help but feel a little apprehensive. The ATM was "swiping" the money, and he looked left and right from time to time, for fear that someone was standing behind him. After all the money came out, he carefully put it in his bag. It's bulging and heavy, and he knows very well that it is his father's life-saving money. Hospitals are a place where there is no bottom to spend money, and this money is probably only the tip of the iceberg.
The next day, He Hansheng woke up before dawn.
Jia Hao also called early.
"Han Sheng, are your parents here? When do we depart? ”
"They took the morning bus. It is estimated that it will arrive at half past eight. Let's go together at half-past eight. ”
"Well, good. I'll be over in a moment. ”
He Hansheng hung up the phone and simply packed his luggage. Because if you want to stay in the hospital, you must bring the most basic toiletries such as toothpaste, toothbrush, and towel. In his opinion, a meal can be skipped, but the teeth must be brushed and the face must be washed, because the face is very important. He couldn't see himself unkempt and sloppy.
Soon, the sound of a car horn could be heard downstairs.
He Hansheng ran to the balcony and looked down, it was Jia Hao's car.
"Why haven't Mom and Dad arrived yet?" He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. So, I dialed my mother's phone again.
"Mom, are you almost there?"
"It's almost time to enter the city."
"By the way, Mom, you ask the driver to stop at the entrance of our community, don't sit over."
"Well, it's still four or five minutes away."
"Good. I'll go down and pick you up in a moment. ”
He Hansheng quickly took the elevator downstairs and happened to meet Jia Hao at the elevator entrance.
"Jia Hao, my parents will be here in a while, I'll pick them up. Why don't you go upstairs first? ”
"No, I'll drive with you."
"You don't have to drive, it's right at the entrance of the community."
So, the two of them hurried out.
As soon as they walked out of the community, He Hansheng's parents arrived.
"Mom and Dad" He Hansheng was still very happy to see his parents.
"Uncle, aunt" Jia Hao was polite and warm.
"Mom and Dad, this is my friend Jia Hao, thanks to him for sending us to the hospital today."
"Oh, lad, that's going to bother you." Mother He said with a smile.
"Auntie, it's okay." Jia Hao said busily.
"Mom and Dad, let's go upstairs and sit for a while, and then let's go later."
"Well, that's okay."
He Hansheng and Jia Hao walked in front, and He Dad and He Mom walked behind, usually laughing and laughing, but today there was a little more anxiety and sadness.
When we got home, everyone sat on the couch.
Dad He was out of breath and coughed incessantly. Beads of sweat the size of beans ran down his cheeks. From getting off the bus at the entrance of the community to entering the building, along the way, Dad He consumed a lot of physical strength.
He Hansheng poured a glass of water for everyone.
Jie Jie saw his grandmother and stretched out his hand to let him hug him.
Mother He hurriedly picked up Jiejie, and after a few days of not seeing him, Jiejie gained weight again.
"My good grandson, it's grown again." Mother He saw the white and cute Jiejie happily as if she had eaten honey.
Because everyone was in a hurry to go to the hospital, no one moved the water in the cup.
Mother He was very reluctant to Jiejie.
"If you hadn't gone to the hospital, grandma would have been holding you." Mother He shed tears, helpless and sad.
"Mom, I'll hold Jiejie." Peng Jiahui took over Jiejie.
They went downstairs together.
Downstairs, they meet Charmanti.
"Sister Jiahui, where are you going?"
"Grandpa Jiejie will go to the hospital, and Hansheng will send them."
He Hansheng also saw Charmanti, and just hurriedly said hello.
Mother He also saw Charmanti, thinking it was a neighbor, so she didn't ask much.
After everyone hurriedly got into the car, they set off.
"Mandy, why are you here?"
"Yesterday, when I was shopping, I bought a dress for Jiejie, I don't know if it fits or not, just by the way, I sent it over." Charmanti hurriedly said. Actually, she was born by He Hansheng, early in the morning, and wanted to block He Hansheng at home, but she didn't expect to pounce.
"Mandy, you're so polite."
"It's okay, give Jiejie a try. If it doesn't fit, you can change it. Charmanti said, pulling out a down vest from her bag.
Peng Jiahui took it and put it on for Jiejie. Aside from being a bit of a big bag of butts, it's still very suitable.
"It's a good fit. Mandy, thank you. ”
"It's good if it's suitable, then you don't need to change it."
"Mandy, go sit at home."
"No, I still have something to do, let's do it another day." Charmanti hurriedly excused herself, because without He Hansheng, everything was gone.
Soon, she drove away.
After a brief period of commotion, the neighborhood was quiet again.
When I arrived at the hospital, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Jia Hao's father's friend's surname is Ouyang, and he is an attending doctor in orthopedics. Jia Hao had already contacted him in advance, so as soon as they arrived at the hospital, Dr. Ouyang came out to pick them up.
"Uncle Ouyang is good. This is my friend Ho Hansheng, this is his mom and dad. ”
"Hello, hello." Dr. Ouyang was very welcoming.
"It's because the eldest brother is not feeling well, right?"
"Hmm." Dad He nodded.
"Jia Hao, you and your friends go to the hospital, and later, you can come to room 1608 on the 16th floor of Building B to find me. I've already talked to Dr. Changsun in the respiratory department. Let's go first. By the way, the outpatient clinic is at the second corner in front, Building B has to go all the way forward, and there is an elevator opposite the supermarket. ”
It was the first time He Hansheng had come to such a huge hospital, and if he didn't have an acquaintance, he would probably get lost.
In the outpatient clinic, the deposit alone was 20,000 yuan. After the hospitalization procedures were completed, they went directly to Building B. In order to prevent getting lost, He Hansheng looked at it while walking, paying special attention to his surroundings.
Everyone in the hospital was in a hurry, with sadness and anxiety on their faces, and the hospital was indeed not a good place.
When they arrived at the room, Dad He had already changed into a hospital gown. Although He Hansheng brought all the previous examination results, Dr. Changsun said that he would have to do another detailed examination, one is to confirm the diagnosis, and the other is to confirm whether there is metastasis. He Hansheng had no choice but to follow the doctor's arrangement.
He Hansheng helped his father to do a CT scan again. There were a bit of a lot of people, so they sat in their chairs and waited.
He Hansheng also knew that the equipment used to do CT was radioactive, but when the doctor called his father's name, he walked in with his father without hesitation.
Father He gently took off his coat and handed it to He Hansheng. The whole examination process lasted about five minutes, and after the examination, Dad He sat up from the examination table. He Hansheng hurriedly put his coat on his father.
"Doctor, when will I get the results?"
"In two hours, it'll be on the machine on the left side of the door."
"Okay, thanks."
"Han Sheng, twelve o'clock, right?" Dad He asked.
"Well, it's just twelve o'clock."
"Tell your mother down and go to dinner first."
"yes, okay."
He Hansheng was about to call his mother, but stopped again. Because you need to take the elevator to go up and down the stairs, there are many bends in the corridor, and my mother is illiterate, so I am afraid that I will get lost if I let my mother come down to find it.
"I'm afraid my mother won't be able to find us, so I'd better go upstairs and call it."
He Hansheng was just about to leave, but Jia Hao stopped him.
"Han Sheng, my uncle's hospitalization procedures have been completed, and I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll go back first."
"Don't, wait until you're eating."
"That's it, Jia Hao, let's wait until we have dinner before leaving."
"Uncle, I'm really in trouble. Let's go eat together, I'll go back first. ”
He Hansheng sent Jia Hao out of the hall.
"Jia Hao, thank you."
"You're welcome. If there is anything, you go to Dr. Ouyang and he will help. If you don't have enough money, just tell me. ”
"Hmm. When you go back, be careful on the road. ”
"Hmm. Let's go back. Your dad is still waiting for you. ”
Seeing off Jia Hao, He Hansheng hurriedly returned.
There was a small garden in the hall, and Dad Ho was sitting on a bench.
"Dad, you wait here, I'll go upstairs and call my mom."
"Well, go ahead."
He Hansheng trotted to the stairs. Because it was lunch time, there were a lot of people taking the elevator. He also noticed that there are six elevators in total, but they are different, some single floors stop, some double floors stop, some one to five floors do not stop, some ten to fifteen floors do not stop, even he is a little confused, if he let his mother take the elevator alone, he has to get lost. He finally waited for the elevator, so he took the lead and quickly entered the elevator, and soon the people were crowded in. The elevator started, almost stopping on the first floor, and he had to wait patiently.
Finally reached the sixteenth floor, and after getting out of the elevator, He Hansheng hurriedly rushed to the room.
Mother He was waiting anxiously.
"Where's your dad?"
"It's been checked. My dad is downstairs, let's go eat first. ”
"Is your dad really lung cancer?"
"It only came out in the afternoon. I guess it should be. Mom, don't worry too much, surgery can be cured. He Hansheng tried his best to comfort his mother.
"Hmm." Mother He was skeptical.
It's a few more minutes to get in and out of the elevator.
After stepping out of the elevator, they saw Dad He from a distance, and they also quickened their pace.
They went to a small restaurant on the east side of the hospital. He Hansheng asked for three bowls of rice porridge, three eggs, a dumpling and fried meat with cauliflower, because his father likes to eat fish, and he also specially asked for a stewed hairtail.
Soon, the meal was ready. Mother He may have been a little worried and anxious, and only drank a bowl of millet porridge and ate an egg. Dad He had a good appetite, ate some dumplings, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate four pieces of hairtail. After they were all full, there were still some dumplings and hairtail leftovers, and He Hansheng packed them.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, He Hansheng went to get the CT results and sent them to Dr. Changsun.
After seeing the CT results, Dr. Changsun didn't say anything, but asked him to go back to the ward first. About an hour later, Dr. Changsun called him to go to the office again.
"Your father's lung tumor is next to the aorta in the lung, and it would be too dangerous if the surgery could easily injure the arteries. After our comprehensive discussion, we recommend chemotherapy first, and wait for the tumor to become slightly smaller before seeing if surgery is possible. ”
"And how long does chemotherapy take?"
"Let's do three courses of treatment first."
"yes, okay."
"If you can, let's get a chemotherapy injection starting tomorrow."
"How many days does a course of treatment take?"
"Four or five days."
"Well, okay. Thank you, I'm going to trouble you more in the future. ”
"It's fine. Don't let your dad be too nervous, such an operation has a high success rate. ”
"Hmm. Thank you. ”
He Hansheng walked out of the office.
When he returned to the ward, Dad He was already asleep. He told his mother about the situation. Because my mother doesn't understand very well, I can only listen to the doctor.
Early the next morning, the chemotherapy injections began. He Hansheng and his mother stayed by the bedside, hoping that his father's condition could be controlled and that he could recover as soon as possible.
The long three days and nights finally passed, and Daddy He's first chemotherapy was over.
When he left the hospital, Dr. Changsun said that he would come back for a second chemotherapy treatment in a month.
