Chapter 207 Dean Zhang: My Fault
"Auntie Wang, based on your symptoms, I suspect it's pancreatic cancer. But don't worry. Judging from your symptoms, it's probably in the early stages. If it's in the early stages, early intervention and treatment are possible, and it's likely to be cured."
When Aunt Wang heard that it was pancreatic cancer, she became completely upset. Most people are terrified of cancer and generally believe that it is incurable.
Aunt Wang just sat there without saying a word.
At this point she was hit.
"Has it been confirmed?" she asked.
"I suggest you go to the oncology department for a complete screening, but in my opinion, there is an 80% chance that it is true," said Wei Ping.
He didn't say 100%, although he diagnosed it.
To be more rigorous, saying 80% is acceptable.
Yang Ke was also standing by, not knowing what to say. She didn't know how to persuade the patient.
Aunt Wang thought for a moment and asked again:
"Is it possible that it's benign?"
“There is no such thing as benign pancreatic cancer.”
Pancreatic cancer is a serious malignancy that is divided into early, middle, and late stages. It grows, develops, and spreads rapidly. Once discovered, it should be treated immediately!
Early-stage pancreatic cancer patients have small and localized tumors that have not spread or metastasized. They can be completely removed through radical surgery. Some patients can be cured and have a good prognosis.
If it is not discovered in the early stage, as time goes by, the disease enters the middle and late stages, the tumor will become larger and larger, the tumor will gradually develop and spread, and even local spread and distant metastasis will occur.
Once the disease reaches the middle or late stages, surgery alone is usually not enough to completely eliminate the tumor cells. Post-surgery, comprehensive treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, and immunotherapy are needed to alleviate the patient's symptoms and prolong their life.
Therefore, Wei Ping discovered and diagnosed Aunt Wang's illness in advance, which was equivalent to saving her life.
It depends on whether she is willing to have further examination.
"Is there no benign one? Then can Doctor Wei perform the surgery on me?" Aunt Wang asked again.
"I'm not currently qualified for surgery, but the oncologists at our hospital are very professional. Once the diagnosis is made, they arrange for admission immediately. The surgery is also very quick, and I can be discharged within a month at most!"
Wei Ping tried to speak in a positive way.
At the same time, it also gave Aunt Wang confidence.
"So...how much does the surgery cost? I saw on TV that cancer surgeries like this can easily cost millions...and I only have a meager pension!"
"Auntie Wang, you don't have to worry about this. I've checked. The cost of this surgery in our hospital is between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan. In your case, the cost can be lower, but if you delay any further, it may be over 100,000 yuan, and the success rate of the surgery will decrease."
Wei Ping said again.
"Is that so?" Aunt Wang's face turned very bad.
Wei Ping added, "Auntie Wang, you don't have to worry too much. If this disease is caught early, the survival rate can reach over 90%! If you maintain a positive attitude, even a 99% or higher rate won't be a problem. Just treat it as a minor illness."
In fact, it is not easy to survive this disease, but as long as we speak in a positive way, it will definitely give the patient some psychological comfort.
It can also guide patients to accept treatment with a better attitude and improve the cure rate.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract and is known as the "king of cancer" in the field of tumors.
According to The Lancet, the five-year survival rate after diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is about 10%. This is mostly because the disease has developed to the late stage, which is why the survival rate is so low. It is one of the malignant tumors with the worst prognosis.
Pancreatic cancer has insidious and atypical clinical symptoms and is a difficult digestive tract malignancy to diagnose and treat. Approximately 90% of pancreatic cancers are ductal adenocarcinomas originating from the glandular duct epithelium.
Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose in its early stages, has a high surgical mortality rate, and a very low cure rate. The disease is more common in men than in women, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.5 to 2:1. It is far more common in men than in premenopausal women, while the incidence in postmenopausal women is similar to that in men. Pancreatic cancer's diagnosis and treatment are primarily difficult due to its insidious onset and rapid metastasis.
"Really?" Aunt Wang's expression began to relax.
"Yes!"
"Auntie Wang, Doctor Wei wouldn't lie." Yang Ke said.
She admired Wei Ping very much, as he actually gave hope to a somewhat desperate patient.
"Then I'll go to the oncology department now!" Aunt Wang said firmly.
At this time, Wei Ping said again: "Wait a minute, I will call the dean and ask him to make some arrangements!"
Aunt Wang was so touched.
But she didn't know that Wei Ping was buying time.
Because this disease is too serious, if the old man were to continue with his movements, he might not be able to be admitted to the hospital today.
But if it is noticed by the leaders above, it will be different.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Wei!"
Aunt Wang's eyes were red.
Wei Ping stood up, picked up his cell phone and called Dean Zhang.
Yang Ke was chatting with Aunt Wang.
Let her relax a little.
They've seen this happen too many times.
But every time I see it again, I feel sad and I understand the patient's pain.
So, at this time, she would often come out and persuade the patient to be more open-minded.
The phone is connected.
"Xiao Wei, what's wrong?"
"Dean, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?" Wei Ping asked.
"No, no, I don't usually have a lunch break. Is there something important that you're calling me now?"
"Yes, Dean, I've discovered that Aunt Wang from our cafeteria is suspected of having pancreatic cancer, so I'd like you to notify the oncologists to pay special attention. This disease can progress very quickly, and she's old, so I'm worried we won't be able to handle it."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!" Dean Zhang said directly when he heard this.
"Thank you, Dean!"
"I should thank you. I need to do more to care for our employees. From now on, the hospital will conduct physical examinations for the logistics staff every year so that we can detect some diseases early!" Dean Zhang suddenly said.
He is such a good dean. After discovering the problem, he finds a way to solve it.
This is what a dean should do.
Dean Zhang had no idea how Wei Ping knew about it, probably because he trusted him.
"I won't say anything more. Just send her to the oncology department. I'll call the director of the oncology department right now!"
"Okay, Dean!"
After Wei Ping hung up the phone.
"Auntie Wang! Please go directly to the oncology department. I've already spoken to the dean, and he'll make the arrangements!"
Aunt Wang looked at Wei Ping and was very moved.
And I was also shocked that he could contact the dean directly.
The key is that the dean still listens to him.
This young man is truly my destined benefactor.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
