Chapter 748: I love you but i love myself more

Medical center.

Outside the ward.

The four urban women were speechless.

It's not that they don't understand Adam's words.

It's just that when this kind of thing happens to them, even if it is the great fortune of the misfortune, their humorous cells can't be used.

after all.

It's still unfortunate.

This is cancer, or breast cancer.

"Adam, if it's diagnosed... how should it be treated?"

Kelly glanced cautiously at Samantha and asked.

"Didn't Dr. Pierce tell you?"

Adam was surprised: "If the diagnosis is breast cancer, Samantha is still young and in a physical condition that can withstand surgery, surgery is the first choice.

If the diagnosis is early, you can choose breast-conserving surgery, which only removes the tumor and the tissue around 1 to 2 cm.

The advantage of this is self-evident, but the disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that there will be no recurrence, and regular review after surgery is required.

There is also eradication.

As the name suggests, it is to remove the whole breast, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, all lymph nodes in the axilla, internal thoracic arteries and veins and surrounding lymph nodes, and all possible cancerous tissues of breast cancer in advance to completely eradicate the possibility of breast cancer..."

"hiss."

The third daughter of Kelly took a deep breath.

"Then, is that still a woman?"

Charlotte whispered incredibly.

"Plastic surgery can be done later..."

Adam groaned: "The effect of eradication is good, but because the scope of resection is too large, it will have a great impact on the quality of life of patients after surgery, so this kind of extended eradication is rarely used.

Nowadays, most of them are modified eradication surgery, which preserves the pectoral muscles, and cooperates with plastic surgery after the operation. The appearance effect is better and it is easier to be accepted by patients. "

"Eradication is to completely eradicate the root without recurrence?"

Senior lawyer Miranda asked.

"Sorry, I have to look at this again."

Adam shook his head and said: "Unless it is very early, only 60% to 70% of early breast cancer patients can be completely cured, and the remaining 30% to 40% may still relapse.

Therefore, long-term follow-up, close follow-up, and regular review are routine activities for cancer patients.

And early detection and early treatment is really a very lucky thing. "

"What about chemotherapy?"

Miranda asked: "Do you need chemotherapy? I heard that chemotherapy will cause hair loss?"

"Ok."

Adam nodded: “It’s okay to lose hair after chemotherapy. If you stop chemotherapy later, it will grow back, but chemotherapy does harm the body’s own immunity and makes people more likely to get sick.

Normally, after cancer surgery, chemotherapy is needed for treatment.

But if breast cancer is detected early enough, endocrine therapy or targeted therapy with less side effects can be used instead of chemotherapy.

Anyway..."

"In short, it was discovered that Samantha had breast cancer in advance today. It was a very lucky thing!"

Kelly concluded with joy.

"Yes, as long as it is discovered early enough, breast cancer will not harm Samantha at all."

Miranda and Charlotte also understood Kelly's meaning and actively agreed.

"Thank you!"

Samantha felt a little better, put away her self-deprecation, and said sincerely.

After hearing so much, she found that the greatest hope was Adam’s constant emphasis on early detection and early treatment.

The sooner you find out, the better.

Originally, like many early patients, she didn't notice it at all, or was a little strange and didn't take it seriously.

Today, if it wasn't for her to tease Adam and ask him to check her, and Adam ignored her teasing, he pointed out the risk very professionally and asked her to do the check.

God knows in a while, will it be the difference between life and death, or the difference between life and life than death.

"I am a doctor."

Adam smiled and said, "This is my job."

"I want you to be my doctor!"

Samantha took a deep breath and said, "Can you?"

"of course can."

Adam smiled and said, "If you are ready, I can arrange a biopsy for you now to get the diagnosis as early as possible."

Cancer is generally handled exclusively by the oncology department.

But surgery can be done by a surgeon.

Adam can help Samantha perform the operation, and then transfer her to a certain oncologist. After that, long-term follow-up, close follow-up, and regular review are all assigned to the oncologist.

The oncologist is happy too.

Because these are the fixed patient groups of their oncologists, luxury sports cars rely on this stable and expanding patient group.

Adam can actually do it himself.

Because most patients are doctors who believe in performing operations on them and are successful.

Many patients, no matter what disease they have later, even if their profession is not right, they still like to find a doctor they trust, and then the doctor they trust decides whether to handle it by themselves or to another doctor.

To know.

The doctors in the American TV show refer patients to each other, but there is a share.

Because of the medical industry in the U.S., introducing a patient to you is an introduction, and introducing a patient to him is also an introduction. Unless the patient’s condition is an intractable disease, you have to, or there is no benefit, so why should I introduce it to you?

And if you say it without conscience, even if you have to, but as long as I don't say it, how can the patient know?

At that time, it will not be him who will die. Not only will the cost of the treatment be not less at all, it may not be cured all the time, and he will earn more.

This will test the doctor's medical ethics very much.

This is why once a patient trusts a certain doctor, he will hold on to him and look for him for any disease.

Adam is worthy of the patient's trust, but Adam does not lack the money, he only lacks time, this kind of follow-up and review in the later stage, if there are too many people, it will take too much time for him to treat illnesses and save people.

Therefore, Adam always pays attention to the trends in the medical field, and he does not let gossip news.

Not only to understand the medical skills of these colleagues, but also to secretly evaluate their medical ethics to be aware of it.

Otherwise, when he transfers the patient to the hands of the so-called famous doctor who is radiant in appearance but corrupted in medical ethics on the inside, wouldn't he betray the patient's trust in him?

Just do it!

Adam took Samantha to do a biopsy. Under the guidance of ultrasound, he punctured the tumor suspected of breast cancer, took out a small amount of tissue, and sent it to the laboratory for an urgent pathological examination.

Breast cancer was diagnosed, and it was very early.

Adam deliberately sought a consultation with the attending oncology doctor, and then obtained Samantha's consent, arranged for Samantha to be hospitalized, and performed various preoperative examinations. If there is no problem, he will have breast-conserving surgery tomorrow.

Yes it is.

Samantha chose breast-conserving surgery.

If it is not a last resort, it is estimated that not many women have the friend of Dr. Montgomery so decisive.

Because of heredity alone, it may be possible to get it, so we directly performed double mastectomy, false chest transplantation, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy...

At the time, this friend of Dr. Montgomery, despite her husband’s repeated persuasion, insisted on doing so, although her husband left first, and then reappeared during her surgery.

It seemed that he had compromised and chose to support his wife's very impulsive decision.

But I don’t know how they are now...

This is the biggest and most cruel test of whether there is true love between their husband and wife.

It is said that love of the opposite **** is only for the reproduction of offspring.

Then Dr. Montgomery’s friend and couple, who have absolutely no possibility of reproducing offspring, should be the best example to prove the existence of true love.

But Adam is not optimistic about this.

Because true love, like human nature, cannot be tested.

Especially on longer timelines.

Maybe everyone is: "I love you, but I love myself more..."
