Chapter 110 Cervical Cancer...
The results of a simple palpation already indicated that the patient's condition had reached the late stage and treatment was by no means easy.
Seeing her mother's usual patience, Wei Zi felt as if her heart was soaked in bitter water, painful and sour, and she couldn't help but ask the questions in her heart.
"Doctor Chen, is there still a cure for my mother?"
Chen Yin pulled her hand away from the patient, looked up at Wei Zi, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Wei Zi noticed Chen Yin's eyes, looked at her mother reluctantly, and quickly followed.
Immersed in severe pain, Wei's mother did not notice the two people leaving. She closed her eyes and curled up on her side on the hospital bed.
Liu Mengxi looked at the two people in the corridor curiously, wondering how Chen Yin called the family members out.
"Comrade Wei, you are the patient's only immediate family member, right?"
As soon as Chen Yin's words came out, the weak layer of protection that Wei Zi had built in her heart was shattered. Her heart continued to sink into a bottomless abyss.
For a moment, she even felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and found it difficult to bear the next words that Chen Yin would say.
Wei Zi used all her strength to maintain her standing position, her hands tightly gripping the seam of her pants. She looked at Chen Yin with a pale face, "Doctor Chen, if there's anything, just tell me directly. I'm the only one in our family who can take care of Mom."
"Okay. I looked at the information registered by Doctor Zhou. You were examined when you came here. The city hospital said it was in the late stage, and my judgment is the same."
The result of Chen Yin's first sentence was still within Wei Zi's tolerance, so she pressed her feet hard on the ground.
But the next words made Wei Zi's heart tighten again. She clenched her fists, put them in her mouth and bit them tightly, and a taste of rust spread across her tongue.
"As for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer, what we in traditional Chinese medicine call zheng ju (a mass or stagnation)," Huimintang has only seen a few hundred cases to date. Only about one or two out of ten patients live to a ripe old age. The rest, halfway through treatment, can't keep up with the disease's deterioration, and even after recovery, they relapse and die."
"Are you sure you still want to continue the treatment?" The question asked by Chen Yin is something that many families will struggle with when seeing a doctor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Wei Zi's head shook like pounding garlic, and she rushed towards Chen Yin excitedly, grabbing Chen Yin's arms with both hands, begging with sincerity.
"Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I want to save my mother. Please, Doctor Chen!"
Chen Yin pulled her arm out and patted the back of Wei Zi's hand to comfort her. "We will do our best."
After confirming the family's determination, Chen Yin appeared in the ward again to diagnose the patient.
In addition to palpation, she also examined the patient's tongue, which was pale, without a coating, and with a thread-like pulse. This clearly indicated severe damage to the spleen and stomach, with Qi sinking in the middle, the spleen failing to regulate blood, and Qi failing to retain blood.
The spleen and stomach are the source of acquired essence and energy. If the spleen and stomach are damaged, the body will naturally be affected.
Chen Yin immediately formulated a modified version of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with Sijunzi Decoction and wrote down the specific prescriptions on paper.
As soon as she finished writing, she turned around and was about to ask the pharmacy to prepare the medicine. Before she could even utter a word, Liu Mengxi had already taken the prescription and said, "I'll go ask the pharmacy to help prepare the medicine."
As she spoke, she carefully glanced at the prescription in her hand and her eyes widened in shock.
Liu Mengxi was very familiar with the prescriptions in front of her. They were both very classic prescriptions, but she was shocked by how the two combined could treat advanced cervical cancer?
As the first doctor, Zhou Xuewen always paid attention to everything about the patients, so naturally she noticed everything Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi did.
Noticing Liu Mengxi's strange behavior, she quickly changed her position, put her head above Liu Mengxi's arm, and read the prescription on the paper clearly.
The next second, the same expression as Liu Mengxi appeared on her face.
Qi Wenzhong and Liu Xianhua looked at each other in confusion, stretched their necks curiously to take a look, and soon formed a frozen picture with the other two.
Chen Yin turned her head and glanced at the four people in confusion, "Is there anything you can't see clearly?"
The sudden sound seemed to have pressed a switch, and the four people immediately changed their movements, as if they had "come alive".
Liu Mengxi remembered his mission and quickly walked back, "I'll go make the medicine now!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from everyone's sight.
Chen Yin explained the patient's subsequent treatment to Wei Zi in detail, and finally reminded her:
"If you're worried, you can stay in the other bed in the ward and have close care. Our clinic also provides meals. If you need food delivered, just tell the nurse on duty and she will talk to the cafeteria for you."
"Thank you!"
At this moment, Wei Zi deeply felt that sometimes outsiders are better than blood relatives.
After explaining everything, Chen Yin took her people away, leaving the space to Wei Zi and her daughter.
When I got out of the elevator, I happened to meet Liu Mengxi. We got together and walked straight towards the cafeteria.
Today, we had the roast duck that Chen Yin had just brought back from Beijing to try. Almost everyone stayed in the cafeteria for dinner, ready to try what the nationally famous Beijing roast duck tasted like.
Since Chen Yin brought it back, everyone wanted to wait for her to come back before eating it.
But unexpectedly, Chen Yin had just returned and had not even set foot on the bed when she immediately went to see the patient. Everyone waited for almost an hour.
The moment Chen Yin walked into the cafeteria, she keenly felt countless hot gazes sweeping over her.
She looked curiously in the direction of the gaze, and noticed that everyone's eyes lingered on the roast duck on the table from time to time, and immediately understood the reason.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I brought this roast duck back from Beijing. Come and try it!"
After saying that, Chen Yin nodded and quickly approached her mother's table.
Liu Mengxi and others followed closely and took their seats.
Wu Dongmei glanced at her daughter, picked up the chopsticks, and was the first to start. As soon as the roast duck was close to her lips, a joyful atmosphere immediately spread in the cafeteria.
Everyone couldn't wait to reach for the roast duck with their chopsticks. Although they couldn't slice it and enjoy it like traditionally, it didn't affect the delicious taste of the roast duck at all.
"Wow! The roast duck skin is really delicious, just like what they say on TV."
"I heard that even foreign guests who arrived in the capital would try roast duck, so I guess I got to taste the same good thing."
"The roast duck was brought from the capital, and the taste hasn't been affected at all. Aunt Wu is really amazing!"
While eating, Yang Yunxiang gave Wu Dongmei a thumbs up.
After all, she had seen roast duck just taken out of the vacuum packaging, with a thick layer of fat on the surface. Now when she tasted it, it didn’t feel greasy at all. It must be the result of Aunt Wu’s good cooking skills.
After dinner, everyone was still reluctant to leave.
Thanks to the fact that Chen Yin had just returned from Beijing today, Wei Zi and her daughter also enjoyed the taste of roast duck.
Because of her illness, Wei's mother simply took a small bite to enjoy the taste, otherwise she didn't know if she would have such an opportunity again in her life.
Afterwards, he drank the medicine prescribed by Chen Yin and felt the pain in his abdomen gradually ease. The drowsiness he had been feeling for the past few days instantly swept over his entire brain, and he fell into a deep sleep in just a moment.
At first, Wei Zi thought that there was something wrong with the medicine her mother took. She was so scared that her face turned pale. Just as she was about to call a doctor, she inadvertently noticed that her mother's expression relaxed. She carefully placed her index finger close to her mother's nose. The moment she felt the breath, her tense spirit suddenly relaxed.
She sat down heavily on the bed uncontrollably, took a deep breath, drooped her shoulders, and stared at her mother.
This continued for almost the entire night.
In the early morning, Wei's mother woke up from her sleep and felt a long-lost sense of comfort in her body. Her brows, which had been drooping for a long time, naturally straightened out.
She opened her eyes wide to see the surroundings clearly, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of glowing eyes in the night. She was so scared that her body trembled and she shouted subconsciously.
"Big sister!"
Her mother's voice woke Wei Zi from her reverie. She looked at her awake mother opposite her in surprise, "Mom! You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
While speaking, Wei Zi couldn't wait to get off the bed.
She completely forgot that she had been sitting for a long time and her legs had lost feeling. The moment she got out of bed, she stumbled and almost bumped into her mother's hospital bed.
"oops!"
"What's wrong?" Wei's mother asked worriedly, supporting herself with her hands and trying to get up to check.
The moment she stood up, a familiar warm current surged from her body, and her movements immediately became stiff, and she didn't know what to do.
