Although Old Mike's words were a bit incoherent, Yang Jing at least understood something.
"Hey, old buddy, are you saying Vivian is sick?" Yang Jing squatted in front of Old Mike and asked patiently.
Maybe it was Yang Jing’s tone that made Old Mike feel at ease. He took two deep breaths and his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Cole, you have to help me." Old Mike grabbed Yang Jing's hands and held them tightly, as if Yang Jing was his last straw.
"Hey, old buddy, of course I will help you. As long as I have the ability, I will do my best to help you. But you have to let me find out what happened to Vivian first!"
Vivian is Mike Aller's wife. They have been married for nearly 40 years and have a very good relationship. They also have three children. Yang Jing knows all this very well. After all, every time he goes to Mike's house, Vivian always cooks her best dishes to entertain Yang Jing. She is a very, very good person.
Old Mike raised his head, staring at Yang Jing with tearful eyes for a long time, and then he sighed heavily. "Cole, you must help me this time. If you don't help me, I don't think I will survive. I can't imagine how I will live without Vivian. Alas... Last month, Vivian felt a little uncomfortable, so she went to the hospital for a check-up. Unexpectedly, she was diagnosed with CML. Damn it, I don't know why Vivian got this disease. We have always been very pious to God. Can't this move God? Why did God let Vivian get this incurable disease? I... What should I do? Cole, tell me what I should do..."
Hearing Old Mike's almost hysterical words, Yang Jing's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. This was truly bad news.
Oh my god, how could such a good person like Vivian get into CML? Yang Jing felt that God seemed to be really blind.
CML is the abbreviation of the English word “chronic myelocyticleukea”, which is translated into Chinese as “chronic myeloid leukemia”.
In later generations, the Chinese film industry produced a very touching movie called "I'm Not the God of Medicine". This movie is based on a series of events that happened when a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia couldn't afford a drug called "Glenin" that specifically treats chronic myeloid leukemia. And this story is adapted from real events.
Yang Jing had also seen the movie, so he naturally knew what this disease meant.
In fact, in the early 1980s, there was a Japanese TV series that was popular in China. The name of the TV series was "Blood Doubt", which was about leukemia and family affection. At that time, the actors who played Sachiko and Mitsuo, Yamaguchi Baihui and Miura Tomokazu, also gained great popularity in China because of this TV series. At that time, there was even a type of women's clothing that was popular in China for many years, and the name of that women's clothing was "Sachiko Shirt".
Leukemia is an extremely terrible disease. Even thirty years later, it is still a basically incurable disease, especially malignant leukemia, which cannot be cured even with a bone marrow transplant.
In later generations, AIDS, cancer and leukemia are known as the three incurable diseases in the medical field.
Compared with AIDS and cancer, the treatment of leukemia is really "bankrupt". In later generations of China, many people lost their fortunes to treat leukemia, but the final result was that they lost both their money and their lives. It can be said that leukemia is the most cruel disease, not only the patients, but also the patients' families will suffer together.
Even in foreign countries, this disease is an extremely terrible disease. If a person suffers from this disease and cannot find a suitable bone marrow for transplantation, he or she can only wait for death.
Moreover, even if a suitable bone marrow is found for transplantation, it may not necessarily cure the disease completely.
Although bone marrow transplantation is recognized as the best way to treat leukemia, each person's situation is different. Even if a bone marrow transplant is performed, it is still necessary to see how serious the rejection phenomenon after the transplant is. If the rejection is severe, then the bone marrow transplant is almost equivalent to no transplant.
And everyone knows that after a bone marrow transplant, the patient's body is in a period of immunosuppression, so it is extremely easy to get infected. Once infected, it is almost always fatal. Even a small cold can be fatal.
Immune reconstruction takes two years. Unless rejection is controlled within these two years, and there is no infection, relapse, or other unexpected events, the patient can be basically free of leukemia.
Therefore, even if a bone marrow transplant is performed, leukemia may not be cured 100%. This is an extremely terrifying disease!
