Chapter 9

"Mid-term gastric cancer." After the electronic gastroscopy, the doctor confirmed the cause.

I looked at the doctor blankly, and for a moment did not respond. I got my voice back halfway and asked, "Is gastric cancer ..... is it a misdiagnosis?" I just realized that it was impolite to suspect that the other side had misdiagnosed in front of the doctor.

Fortunately, the doctor did not get angry, but looked up at me and explained further: "The patient developed vomiting, which is caused by the rupture of small pulmonary blood vessels after the cancer cells have spread. This is one of the most obvious symptoms of gastric cancer in the middle and advanced stages."

I listened in amusement, and hurriedly after hearing the word spread, "So recovery ....."

"The initial diagnosis is that the cancer cells have not spread very seriously. Surgery is recommended."

I was relieved, and there was still hope for surgery. After swallowing, I watched the doctor carefully and asked, "What's the cost of the operation?"

The doctor is writing a medical record report without answering his head: "Surgery costs plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy costs, depending on the medication you use, will be about 50,000 to 100,000 during the hospital period. After that, you need to see if you need it after the operation. Continue radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and money for medicine ... "At this point, the doctor looked up and looked at me with regret," I can't give you an exact number. "

A blank in my mind.

50,000-100,000, not counting the cost of later treatment.

The problem is that my total deposit now is less than 40,000, and I cannot afford even the most conservative expenses.

The doctor looked at me in distress, and frowned again, telling him, "Your family will make a decision as soon as possible. The sooner the operation is done, the better for the patient. Don't delay."

"I see, thank you doctor."

When I returned to the ward, my mother was already asleep. Li Xuan hurriedly greeted me after seeing me back: "What happened? What did the doctor say?"

"Stomach cancer." I know that I cannot hide this from Li Yan, and she will need to help me in many things in the future.

"How can ..." Li Yan's eyes instantly turned red. People of their age may feel hopeless when they hear about cancer.

"It's okay, the doctor said that surgery is still possible, and it will be okay if the surgery is successful." I reluctantly gave a laugh and comforted softly.

"It would cost a lot of money ..." Li Yan asked, looking worriedly.

"I'll think of a way. Li Yan, you go back to rest first." After a long night of tossing, Li Yan is older, and must be feeling a bit uneasy.

"Okay. I'll go back and pack some clothes for Axiu. I'm afraid she will be staying at hospital for a long time." Li Yan sighed and told me a few words before leaving the ward.

I sat down slowly next to the bed, looking at my mother's dreaming face, watching her tightly frowning brows, thinking of the picture of her covering her stomach and shrinking to the ground, my heart ache. Reaching out to deal with the hair that fell on her cheek, I secretly determined in my heart that no matter what method is used, I must raise the, money for operation.

At noon, Li Yan came to the hospital with her clothes and some cooked porridge for my mother. Coincidentally, she mother woke up at the same time. She woke up to see that she was in the hospital, terrified, holding me tightly, her face about to cry. I held her hand and patiently explained to her that she was sick and needed to be treated in hospital so that the stomach would not hurt. Li Yan also rushed out while the porridge was hot, and wanted to feed her. My mother frowned and turned it away.
