Chapter 8: A Sudden Change
Seeing the doctor say this, Wu Dawei suddenly became nervous, and held Xiao Hong's hand with a little more strength.
Beads of sweat also appeared on Xiao Hong's calloused hands, and Lin Xiao was also at a loss.
Lin Xiao's tone was a little excited: "What? Isn't my uncle alcoholic liver? ”
Wu Dawei, who had not spoken, gritted his teeth at this time and said, "Doctor! Let's just get the hell out of it, what's the bad news? ”
The older doctor put down his reading glasses and said, "The bad news is that from the current diagnosis, it can be preliminarily determined that it is liver cancer." ”
Hepatocarcinoma!?
Hearing the word liver cancer, Lin Xiao's face suddenly turned pale.
He couldn't believe the result after crossing over.
Could it be that traveling through time and space has caused some anomalies?
Or did Wu Dawei have liver cancer in his previous life and was not detected? Or did he know but never told himself and Xiao Hong?
And Wu Dawei, as the party concerned, fell silent again.
Xiao Hong felt dizzy, her head leaned weakly on Wu Dawei's broad shoulders, and tears soaked Wu Dawei's clothes down her cheeks.
She only felt that her mind was blank now, and the world in front of her was crumbling little by little.
The news was too sudden and too heavy.
Although Wu Dawei and Xiao Hong have no culture, they have not gone to school.
But they still know how terrible cancer can be.
Lin Xiao has just returned to the family, and all the good things have just begun, and now the word liver cancer is like a thunderbolt, shattering all the illusions of the old couple about the future.
After a long while, Lin Xiao broke the silence.
"Tell me, doctor, what's the good news?"
The doctor said slowly: "The good news is that the preliminary judgment should be early. ”
Hearing that it was the early days, Lin Xiao's eyes changed, early days? That represents hope!
"For patients with early-stage liver cancer like Xiao Wu who do not have cirrhosis, surgical resection is the treatment of choice, and you can also choose alternative therapies, including local cautery, hepatic artery embolization chemotherapy and radiation embolization, molecular targeted therapy, etc."
"It is also possible that very early liver cancer is a single, asymptomatic, less than 2 cm in diameter, and no vascular or distant metastases. In this case, the survival rate for surgical excision is 90%. Among them, hepatic lobectomy has a good curative effect. ”
These words came out of the old doctor's mouth, which gave Xiao Hong an inexplicable sense of relief.
Wu Dawei finally felt a little comforted.
"Uncle, don't worry, in the early days, the success rate of the cure is still very high."
Wu Dawei was still so silent.
The doctor smiled: "The young man is right, the cure rate of liver cancer in the early stage is very high, so you must not be so pessimistic." ”
"If you are too pessimistic, it will not only affect your children's learning, but also affect your work and life. Listen to me, go make a detailed film, and then I'll show you what the hell is going on. ”
After Lin Xiao thanked him, he took the list and took Xiao Hong and Wu Dawei out of the outpatient room.
Queue up, pay the money, register, do the inspection, and wait for the results.
Sure enough, Lao Wang said that half a day was really not enough.
Returning to the outpatient clinic with the test results, the old doctor finally showed a kind smile after carefully watching the film.
"Xiao Wu's luck is okay, there is no alcoholic liver and cirrhosis, and you are single, asymptomatic, and only 1.6cm in diameter. It's not just early, it's very early! ”
Hearing the doctor say this, Xiao Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, and even more had a feeling of the rest of his life.
But only Lin Xiao knows that what their family will deal with next is an extremely realistic problem - that is, money.
"Doctor, could you please give us a thorough explanation, how much will my uncle's treatment cost?"
Not to mention the old doctor who was about to retire, even Xiao Hong and Wu Dawei looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.
They didn't expect that the young Lin Xiao's mind would be so clear and calm.
The old doctor took out a pen and made a few strokes on the paper, saying, "The cost of the operation is about 30,000 to 35,000, and you have to prepare 50,000 yuan for the follow-up drug hospitalization." “
"It's best to decide as soon as possible. The sooner the safer, you go home and discuss it, see when the surgery is booked, just come to me and don't need to register. ”
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
On the way back.
The family of three sat in the minivan and was somewhat silent.
Xiao Hong's eyes were red, and he didn't come back to his senses at all.
Wu Dawei couldn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Mom, uncle, don't be so pessimistic, at least don't we know in advance what is wrong with our body?"
The truth is this, but the more sensible Lin Xiao is, the deeper the guilt in Wu Dawei's heart.
"Lao Wu, let's go and get the money tomorrow to prepare for the operation......
Before Xiao Hong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Dawei, who had been silent: "No! The college entrance examination is next year, and the money is saved for Xiaoxiao to go to college. ”
Hearing Wu Dawei's words, Xiao Hong suddenly couldn't cry.
Lin Xiao was also instantly blocked by an unknown emotion.
I wanted to speak, but I found hot tears dripping down my cheeks.
In this era, the average salary in a prefecture-level city in Guanglin was only more than 1,500 yuan.
Xiao Hong and Wu Dawei together are barely close to 4,000 yuan.
It is obviously impossible for them to take out 50,000 yuan to do this operation at once.
"Uncle! Treatment is important, you also know that my grades are not good, and it is a big deal that I will repeat my studies for a year! ”
Lin Xiao said this very sincerely.
Wu Dawei heard the hands holding the two-way disc tighten.
He said in a deep voice: "I am the head of the family!" Listen to me! The doctors have said that I was very early and let Xiaoxiao go to college first. I'll get the surgery fee later, but I'm not going to drink anymore from today. ”
Wu Dawei, who is honest on weekdays, suddenly spoke so hardly, which made Lin Xiao and Xiao Hong suddenly a little uncomfortable.
Lin Xiao, who was sitting in the back of the van, clenched his fists tightly.
When he was reborn, he thought that by studying hard and working hard to change the status quo, he would be able to make this small family live a little better.
But in any case, he didn't expect the change to come so quickly!
is about to go to college, and if this situation occurs, Xiao Hong will definitely not be willing to spend 400 yuan a month to buy medicine in the future.
In his previous life, it was precisely because he was unwilling to spend money on medicine that Xiao Hong's condition worsened!
Is it reborn again, or is it powerless to change the status quo?
No!
Now Ling Xiao's mind is full of how to get the money so that Xiao Hong and Wu Dawei can receive treatment.
In his previous life, Siyan was admitted to Qing University, and the school rewarded 10,000 yuan, 5,000 as a family member of a cotton mill, and his father's state-owned steel factory also rewarded 5,000!
An Ran was admitted to a university in Guanglin City, and there was also a bonus of 3,000 yuan, plus excellent grades for four years, not only no tuition fees, but also scholarships!
If I were admitted to the same university, I would have received a scholarship of about 30,000 yuan!
That uncle's surgery fee is enough!
Lin Xiao made up his mind that the regrets of the previous life could not be repeated in this life!
