Zeng Huacheng pinched the paper report in one hand, he stared at the line of words at the end of the report, his body trembled slightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand floated.

"Suspected early esophageal cancer or precancerous lesions, further endoscopic biopsy confirmation is recommended."

In this era, medical knowledge is not so popular, medical technology is not as developed as in later generations, and people almost talk about cancer discoloration.

Zeng Huacheng took a deep breath and kept telling himself: "It's okay, it's okay!" It's just a suspicion, it's not diagnosed yet, and there is still salvation in the early stage! ”

Zeng Huacheng did a lot of psychological construction for a while before he walked to his father and younger brother with the report.

He restrained the panic in his heart and squeezed out a smile.

"Qiangzi, you accompany your father to wait here for a while. I first took these reports and went through them to Dr. Huang to see if there were any missing inspection items that had not been done. ”

Zeng Huaqiang nodded and said yes.

Zeng Zhenxing complained to his second son: "I have done a morning check, it is enough, how can there be any missing items?" ”

Zeng Huacheng patiently replied: "Dad, let's come up today and do all the checkups that should be done, if there is no problem, we won't come for a physical examination next year, okay?" ”

Zeng Huacheng hurriedly walked to the doctor's office, "Doctor Huang, please help me take a look at the examination report, what's wrong with my dad?" ”

Dr. Huang glanced at the report and looked serious: "Early stage of esophageal cancer? Then endoscopy and pathological biopsy are done first to assist in diagnosis. I'll make you an order, you go and make an appointment for a check-up, and take your father to do it as soon as possible. ”

Zeng Huacheng was anxious: "Doctor Huang, my dad will be fine, right?" Can endoscopy be done painlessly? We don't want him to know about it yet. ”

Dr. Huang: "Okay, got it. You make an appointment first, wait for the examination to be done and then look at the results, if it is early, the lesion is not serious, the probability of cure is still quite large, don't worry about it first. ”

Zeng Huacheng took the list prescribed by the doctor, ran to the gastroscopy room of the Department of Gastroenterology, and asked the staff to get a number. It happened to be the Chinese New Year, and there were fewer patients, otherwise it would have to be scheduled until the day after tomorrow.

After getting the appointment number, he hurried to find Zeng Huaqiang, and the brothers took their father to the examination room.

The doctor asked the two brothers to wait at the door, and Zeng Huacheng truthfully explained the results of his father's CT report to his younger brother.

Zeng Huaqiang couldn't believe it, his eyes turned red, and he asked in a lost voice: "Esophageal cancer?" How did dad get esophageal cancer? ”

Zeng Huacheng had calmed down at this time, and he patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Fortunately, there is a reminder from Xiaoman, let's bring my father over to check now." If you don't pay attention for another year or two, it'll be too late to find out by then......"

The brothers were very fortunate that they were fortunate to see a doctor in time and did not delay any longer, otherwise they would have been in real trouble.

The wait was long and frustrating.

After the examination, Zeng Zhenxing was pushed to the lounge to wait for anesthetics, and Zeng Huaqiang accompanied him.

Zeng Huacheng hurriedly went to the window to wait for the report, and then sent it to the doctor's office.

"Dr. Huang, how are my dad's test results? Does it matter? ”

Dr. Huang lifted his glasses: "According to the results of endoscopy, esophageal squamous epithelial dysplasia has become cancerous. ”

"There are irregular cauliflower-like bulges, accompanied by erosions, ulcers, and bleeding, and according to this situation, it is estimated to be early."

"But the pathology analysis is estimated to take a week, and you will come back next Monday to get the pathology report. When the time comes, ask a gastroenterology specialist for consultation. ”

Zeng Huacheng asked eagerly: "Doctor, does my dad need surgery in this situation?" Can surgery be good? ”

Dr. Huang asked, "Did the patient feel the symptoms?" Do you have difficulty swallowing, throat discomfort or retrosternal pain? ”

Zeng Huacheng shook his head: "He didn't say that he was uncomfortable, we dragged him over for a physical examination......"

Dr. Huang was stunned for a moment: "Then you are also fortunate in misfortune, the precancerous symptoms of the esophagus are not easy to pay attention to, and when the patient feels very uncomfortable, it is basically in the middle and advanced stages." ”

"When the pathology comes out, we will study the treatment plan together, and you can go back first." Dr. Huang handed the report to Zeng Huacheng.

Zeng Huacheng went to the lounge to pick up Zeng Zhenxing, "Dad, the anesthetic has been withdrawn, are you feeling unwell?" ”

Zeng Zhenxing shook his head: "What's wrong with me?" Why gastroscopy? ”

Zeng Huacheng: "Oh, Dad, Dr. Huang has said that the elderly who are over 60 years old must have a gastroscopy when they come for a physical examination, this body organ is the same as a machine, it has been used for a long time, and if there is a small problem, it can be treated in time." ”

Zeng Zhenxing stared at Zeng Huacheng: "Then do I have any problems?" ”

Zeng Huacheng smiled: "Dad, this inspection report will not come out until next week." Let's come back to get it again in the fourteenth, and now go home first. ”

The father and son didn't say anything all the way. After arriving home, Zeng Zhenxing had a biopsy because of tossing for a long time, and his pharynx was not very comfortable, so he lay down to rest without eating lunch.

Zeng Huaqiang called Zeng Huashan and Zeng Huahe, and the four brothers were locked in the study to discuss their father's physical problems.

Zeng Huacheng: "Big brother, the case analysis report will wait until next week, but according to the results of the gastroscopy, it is estimated that it will not run in the early stage." You still have to think about which hospital to go to for surgery. ”

Zeng Huashan looked sad after hearing this: "Can it be operated on in the city hospital?" If you are closer to home, you have to take turns to take care of it, or it is convenient for the little sisters to visit. ”

Zeng Huacheng: "Those are secondary, the point is that the operation must be successful, and the most skilled doctor must perform the operation, which is reassuring." ”

Zeng Huaqiang agreed: "That's right, why don't you go to the provincial hospital to have a look?" Find out if there are any acquaintances in the gastroenterology department or oncology department of the provincial hospital, or inquire to see which doctor has the best skills, and find to operate on my father, and the success rate is higher. ”

"Second brother, you know the most people, can you ask?" Zeng Huahe looked at Zeng Huacheng expectantly.

"I'm thinking about it for the past two days, and I'm going out and walking around."

Zeng Huashan squatted on the ground and lit a cigarette, pondering for a while: "Chengzi, did the doctor say how much Dad's operation costs?" ”

"It's okay, big brother, I'll talk about the money later, as long as I can find a good doctor to cure my father."

Zeng Huaqiang thought of another question: "Brother, if Dad finishes the operation, he will have to go home and recuperate for a while, right?" When the time comes, we're all out, who's going to take care of him? ”

Zeng Huashan raised his head: "It's okay, the three of you go out, the eldest brother is at home, and your sister-in-law and I can take care of it." ”

Zeng Huahe nodded: "Brother, Alan is taking care of the children at home, and she can also come over to help." Zeng Huahe's second son Zeng Weijian is the same age as Su Manjin, and the eldest son Zeng Weixi is two years older, both of them are in elementary school, and his wife stays at home to take care of them.

Zeng Huacheng advised: "Dad is sick, just the four of us know, don't tell the family first, so as not to worry about them, it's not good for Dad to know so much." ”

The brothers nodded to each other, and when the matter was discussed, they went home.

Zeng Huacheng rode a motorcycle to Sujia Village.
