Chapter 41: The Bad News

Dr. Zhao knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing Chong Tiange also in the ward, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to come so early.

Chong Tiange also quickly got up, took the initiative to greet Dr. Zhao, and said hello to him.

"I just started working, so as usual, I came to see each ward. The child's examination report is still in my office. About fifteen minutes later, you can come to my office."

After saying that, Dr. Zhao walked to the bedside and touched Chong Jingxuan's little head. Seeing that he had a good appetite, he even praised him for a few words.

Chong Tiange nodded and stood aside. Although he didn't say anything, his expression gradually became extremely solemn.

After seeing Dr. Zhao off, Chong Jingxuan also had breakfast. He took the initiative to bring his bowl to the pool in the bathroom, and then stood on tiptoe and washed his hands.

"Dad, I want to go home. It's not fun here."

He walked timidly to Chong Tiange, stretched out his white little fat hand, and pulled his sleeves.

It’s not a big deal that Chong Jingxuan is bored. In order to make him have a good rest, Chong Tiange specially arranged a ward. This place was originally a double room, but now he is only living in himself. Moreover, the hospital is not a kindergarten. The children here are all sick children. Most of them cannot run and jump, and cannot play like other normal children. Of course, it is very quiet and not lively at all.

"Xuanxuan, dad, go and ask the doctor when we can go home. If we can't go home yet, dad will go home and move all the toys that Xuanxuan likes here, okay?"

Tong Tiange held his hand lovingly and promised softly.

Although he was unwilling to give up, Chong Jingxuan lowered his head and lit it gently.

He has always been very obedient and has precocious puberty that is not consistent with his age.

Chong Tiange explained to Sister Zhao a few more words and left an envelope containing 20,000 yuan in cash. On the day Xuan Xuan was admitted to the hospital, he gave Sister Zhao a bank card, but was afraid that she would not be able to free up the time to withdraw the money, so he took some more on the way to come today.

Then, he took a look at the time and prepared to find Dr. Zhao.

Chong Tiange arrived at the doctor's office. Sure enough, Dr. Zhao had just returned from patrol and saw him coming, and hurriedly signaled him to come in.

"Mr. Chong, Xuanxuan's situation is... After consultation with me and several colleagues, we have basically confirmed that it is acute leukemia in children. Because this is a malignant proliferative disease, it poses a serious threat to the life and health of children. Based on the principle of being responsible for the children and parents, I did not rashly tell you the results at the beginning and wanted to confirm it again. Now..."

Speaking of this, Dr. Zhao paused, pushed the glasses on his nose, and did not continue talking for the time being.

He knew that this time would be a very heavy blow to the parents of the child. Before that, he had seen his mother who fainted in an instant and his father who roared in anger.

Chong Tiange sat on the chair opposite Dr. Zhao, without saying anything for a long time, nor moving. His right hand was still placed on the armrest of the chair.

A few minutes later, he was about to speak, and instinctively raised his hand.

"Bang!"

The metal handrail was pinched and deformed, and fell completely as Chong Tiange moved.

"Sorry, I will compensate according to the price."

He glanced at the armrest of the chair that fell to the ground and said lightly.

"No, no."

Dr. Zhao looked nervous and glanced at the half-handle lying on the ground, saying that he didn't have to pay compensation.

"What is the cause? Can you tell me in detail? As far as I know, my mother and I are relatively healthy and have no family genetic history, so I can't understand why Xuanxuan suffers from this terrible disease."

Chong Tiange's eyes twitched a few times. He didn't understand medical terms, but he still had at least common sense. The three words "leukemia" are too terrible and almost all parents will fall into a state of madness.

"This disease is often caused by children aged 3-7, but so far, the cause of the disease is still unclear. According to current research, most doctors believe that it is related to certain viral infections, or to excessive exposure to radioactive substances and certain chemicals, such as benzene. However, external factors always work through internal factors, so the children's own low immune function is the main condition for the disease. Nowadays, children grow up under the excessive care of their parents. Most of them are picky and partial to eating, lack exercise, and take a lot of medicine for some minor diseases, which eventually leads to the immune system becoming very fragile. Once attacked by the virus, they will collapse in a very short time."

While speaking, Dr. Zhao opened Chong Jingxuan's medical record and pushed it in front of Chong Tiange.

A few days ago, the doctor had performed several tests on Chong Jingxuan, including blood images, bone marrow, liver, kidney function, cerebrospinal fluid, etc. This also confirms from one aspect what Dr. Zhao just said. At first, he only suspected that it was this disease, but he did not dare to make a conclusion at will. Everything must be based on clinical data and examination results.

"Sorry, Dr. Zhao, I'm a little confused now. I...I want to go out and smoke a cigarette."

Chong Tiange closed his eyes, closed the medical record, and pushed it to the side, as if it was a beast that could make him lose his life with a glance.

Dr. Zhao nodded and let him defecate.

Chong Tiange stood up from the chair and shook his body a few times. He hurriedly pressed the edge of the table and barely stood still.

He walked all the way to the end of the corridor, where there were almost no people, very quiet.

He pushed open the door, Chong Tiange walked out, went down a few steps, and then sat on the cold steps.

He lowered his head and buried his head deeply in his chest, and for a moment he felt like his brain was empty. The feeling was very complicated, a bit like a fever that had reached a certain level, and he was about to float up, but he was very clear that it was not.

Dr. Zhao's words were still heard. In fact, he had just said a lot, mostly involving professional medical knowledge and many words, for Chong Tiange, it was the first time he had heard it in more than 30 years of life. In fact, even now, Chong Tiange could not guarantee that he had fully understood Dr. Zhao's words, but there was one sentence he could hear clearly, that is, Chong Jingxuan had leukemia, acute, and childhood leukemia.

Perhaps the current medical technology has improved a lot compared to twenty years ago, but after hearing this disease, Chong Tiange's first reaction was panic, followed by despair.

He took out the cigarette, took a few sips, then slapped it out, and threw it into the trash can at hand.

Chong Tiange rushed to the bathroom next door, washed his face with cold water, tried to calm himself down, and then returned to Dr. Zhao's office.

When he walked to the door, he saw a couple inside, shook hands with Dr. Zhao and said thank you, and then left reluctantly.

"Their son is six years old and has the same disease as Xuanxuan, but he has been cured and discharged from the hospital. Today I came back for routine testing and came to see me. Actually, I just wanted to tell you that this disease was indeed a very terrible disease in the past, but now, the cure rate is quite high. To be honest, Mr. Pet, with your financial conditions, you can fully afford the treatment costs, so I have to cooperate with the treatment with my children. I am very confident."

Seeing Chong Tiange looking at the couple's backs curiously, Dr. Zhao walked to his side and said softly.

Chong Tiange immediately turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of hope, and asked anxiously: "Really? The cure rate is very high? You didn't say that to comfort me, right?"

"Yes, it is now recognized by the medical community that leukemia is no longer considered a fatal disease. Mr. Pet, I really don't need to deceive you. Doctors lie to patients, not only without medical ethics, but also without any benefits. For you, Yu Xuanxuan, and even less without me."

After saying that, Dr. Zhao pointed to the room and said, "Let's go, let's sit down and have a good chat about the next treatment plan. Although the future is optimistic, the specific treatment process is not simple, and it requires the cooperation of the doctor, parents and children."

Chong Tiange was still immersed in that joy, and he couldn't calm down. In the past twenty minutes, his emotions fluctuated like a continuous mountain, high and low, like a roller coaster.

However, after hearing Dr. Zhao's last words, he woke up somewhat.

He quickly followed him, sat down, listened carefully to Dr. Zhao, interrupted him from time to time, and asked a certain medical term that he could not understand.

Dr. Zhao patiently answered one by one. The two of them chatted in the office for more than an hour and initially finalized the treatment plan.

"We generally have three common ways to treat leukemia, surgical therapy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. According to Xuanxuan's current situation, chemotherapy should be chosen. That is to say, we will use high-dose chemotherapy drugs in the short term, and let them enter the blood circulation through injection and oral methods, so as to reach all parts of the body. However, as we all know, the side effects of such treatment methods are also great, and the drugs will also kill normal cells."

Dr. Zhao sighed. The child is young and feels uncomfortable and can easily cry. Sometimes, when a child in the ward starts crying, other children will cry, and a large number of wails will sound on the entire hospital building.

"Side effects? Will it kill normal?"

Tong Tiange was a little confused.

"Yes, but we can also reduce side effects by taking medication, and side effects will only appear in the early stage of treatment and will automatically disappear after the treatment is over. Common side effects are mainly hair loss, oral pain, diarrhea or vomiting, etc. Everyone's situation is different."

After listening to Dr. Zhao's words, Chong Tiange did not speak for a long time.

"Can you just use this plan to cure Xuanxuan's illness?"

This is one of his most concerned issues at the moment.
