This may be Ruan Tang's last birthday, so I pay special attention.
After taking her to the hospital, I'm ready to go back and plan.
When I was about to leave, I was stopped by the doctor.
The doctor looked at me seriously, "Mrs. Huo, can we talk?"
The doctor on duty in the middle of the night also called me to talk. It can be seen that the problem is very serious.
I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly followed the doctor to the office.
The doctor didn't speak in a hurry, but poured me a cup of hot cocoa first. "Sweet things will make people feel better."
I held a warm paper cup and smiled bitterly, "doctor, if you say so, I feel that things are so serious that I have to rely on hot cocoa to calm down."
"It's understandable, but it's not as serious as you think." The doctor said ambiguously.
I can't help but be a little confused, "what do you mean, is there any change in Ruan Tang's condition?"
"You look at this report first, the biopsy that was done the previous day." The doctor handed me a report.
I can't understand these either. I just look at the suspected diseased tissue written on it.
"Has the condition changed?" I asked again.
"There is no variation, it is diffusion." The doctor replied.
Hearing the speech, I breathed a sigh of relief. "It turned out to be this. Didn't you tell me long ago that even if chemotherapy is used, it will spread, but the speed will be much slower. I think so. It's still in hospital for so long. You told me about diffusion for the first time."
Fortunately, after saying that, I realized something was wrong.
If it was a normal spread, the doctor would have given me a preventive injection long ago. There's no need to tell me so late.
In other words, the situation of Ruan Tang has spread very seriously.
Is it shorter than previously expected?
I stared at the doctor's face carefully, but I didn't see anything.
"Mrs. Huo, you should know why Ruan Tang insisted on chemotherapy?" The doctor asked slowly.
I nodded, "you know, in order to keep the uterus, this is a long story. I won't wait for a while... Wait, you mean..."
Before I finished, the doctor nodded at me, "yes, it has spread to the uterus."
In other words, even if Ruan Tang continued chemotherapy, he would no longer meet the conditions for transplantation.
She can't give manna another uterus transplant.
"The reason why I'm looking for it alone is to understand the patient's desire to survive. She came here for chemotherapy to keep the uterus. Now the uterus has spread. Does she want to give up treatment?" Asked the doctor.
At that moment, I couldn't seem to hear any sound in my ears.
The doctor's words are echoing all over her mind. Is she going to give up treatment?
Yes, if Ruan Tang knew, would he give up treatment and live a life of superior death?
After a long silence, I slowly raised my head and asked the doctor, "if... If you don't do chemotherapy, will you die soon?"
The doctor was also silent and his expression was tangled. "I can't say that, but from the current situation, the condition is much more serious than we thought, because it spreads so rapidly in the case of chemotherapy. Without chemotherapy, it may not last... A month."
"Aren't your doctors exaggerating so that patients can pay attention to me, but I'm not a patient. Tell me the truth, what will it be like?" My mood was suddenly excited.
The doctors were shocked by me. "I didn't exaggerate. That's the truth, Mrs. Huo. I know it's hard to accept such a thing, but I hope you can keep calm, because Ruan Tang has no family to make a decision except you."
Yes, on the list of hospitalization, Ruan Tang's family only wrote my name.
The doctor didn't know who to consult except me.
Can't you tell Ruan Tang directly?
With her personality, she knew that she was useless to manna and would give up chemotherapy on the spot.
The consequence of that is to die faster.
Obviously, she told me today that she wanted to have a birthday
It is ironic that there is only more than an hour between life and death.
The endless sadness in my heart finally revived and looked at the doctor again, "so you came to me to discuss whether to tell Ruan Tang, right?"
"The patient has the right to know, but the family can also choose not to tell. This is your decision. If you don't care, I know I can tell her." Said the doctor.
Without hesitation, I made a direct decision, "don't tell her, treat her as before, and try to make her look healthier."
"You can lose artificial protein, but the price will be more expensive." The doctor gave advice.
No matter how much money, as long as it is useful to Ruan Tang, I don't care.
"I'll pay downstairs later. You deduct money inside, right? If it's not enough, just call me to pay. " I said.
"Mrs. Huo, I understand your nervousness very much, but the toll office downstairs hasn't worked yet. I may trouble you to come back tomorrow."
After a pause, the doctor's eyes showed me four words, "let's leave the rest to us. We will adjust the treatment plan. Even if we know it's just delaying time, we should also try to make the patient enjoy more in the world."
"Thank you." I made a deep bow to the doctor.
It was five o'clock in the morning when I went back from the hospital.
I was physically and mentally exhausted. I didn't even have the strength to go upstairs. I kicked off my slippers and curled up on the sofa.
I'm already very sleepy, but I'm not sleepy. My heart beats wildly and almost jumps out of my chest, which makes me very uncomfortable.
"How do you sleep here? Beware of catching cold." Aunt song came out and covered me with a thin blanket.
I turned over and sat up, looked down at the plain thin blanket, and my voice was very light. "The doctor said that Ruan Tang's condition was very serious and spread to the uterus."
Aunt song knows about Ruan Tang's condition, so I can tell my sadness in front of her.
Even if I knew that Ruan Tang would leave us after all, I never thought it would be so soon.
"What decision did you make?" Aunt song put me in her arms and asked me softly.
I replied, "I chose to hide and continue the treatment. If she knew she was useless to manna, she would certainly give up the treatment. In that case, she couldn't live for a month."
"Who can't live for a month?" Manna's curious voice sounded from behind us.
