Chapter 166 This is his luck

The Ding family lives in an ordinary old community in the west of Shenzhen. Due to the long history of the community, the trees on both sides of the streets have long been withered.

The four- or five-story-high camphor trees block the sunlight from countless residents' homes, so even though the sun is shining brightly today, the entire community still looks quite cool. The Ding family's home is located on the second floor of the community, and the dense leaves almost reach into the room.

He Chun sat in the room with an expressionless face and his head lowered. He quickly stuffed the folded clothes into the suitcase one by one, and sat on the edge of the bed in silence, wiping the tears that flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

He Chun's voice choked with sobs: "Old Ding, you said that we have never done anything bad in our lives... How come we got this disease?"

"Ah, isn't this just my bad luck? Don't think too much..."

Ding Xinhe frowned and sighed, then he pulled himself together, patted his wife on the shoulder and consoled her: "Doctors have said that compared to other cancers, the mortality rate of throat cancer is relatively low. With my current condition, the probability of me being alive in 10 years is still as high as 50%. Take good care of yourself after the operation, don't smoke, exercise, and adjust your mood. As long as the cancer doesn't spread, I believe I will be one of the 50%."

"But..." What if my husband becomes one of the other 50%?

He Chun's haggard brows were filled with worry, but when the words came to his lips, He Chun couldn't say anything.

She didn't want to prepare for the worst, nor did she dare to think about the worst outcome.

"No buts, let's pack our bags and go to the Sixth Hospital... I have asked doctors from other hospitals before, and Director Fan of the Sixth Hospital's Oncology Department who treated me is very good at throat cancer surgery, much better than ordinary oncology doctors." Ding Xinhe said, "With such a doctor checking on me, I'm sure I'll be fine."

"If you ask me... you shouldn't have smoked in recent years." He Chun bit her lip and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know how to say more to her husband. In the end, she could only mutter a few words and speed up the pace of packing the clothes in her hands.

Now that it has happened, all she can do is help her husband with logistics, pack up his things, and try to prevent him from having to worry about other things during the operation.

The low pressure spread throughout the room. He Chun was quick and efficient and quickly packed the luggage for both of them as well as the clothes they needed to change into.

It takes a long time for cancer patients to be hospitalized and discharged after surgery. He Chun and his wife have already made plans for a long-term struggle...

However, just as the couple had packed their luggage and were about to go out.

Ding Xinhe's cell phone was buzzing non-stop. He looked down and saw the name on the caller ID, which made him smile subconsciously.

"Dad, how have you and Mom been these two days?" The girl's voice came cheerfully from the receiver, like a carefree little bird, lively and cheerful.

"We are all fine. How are you doing in school lately? Are you paying attention in class?" Ding Xinhe's voice was still cheerful, and there was no sign of the heavy mood he was in the previous second.

"Yes, yes~ But, Dad, you don't know~ We are close to the equator, and the temperature was very high when the school started. The school was worried that everyone would get heat stroke... So the military training was postponed to October. As a result, the sun in October is still as scorching. Yesterday, a classmate in our class fainted during the military training. They said he had heat stroke~ Fortunately, I am in good health and nothing happened. But I got tanned all over, and I don't know how long it will take for me to recover to my original appearance~" The girl acted coquettishly to her father, complained about the situation in school, and smiled and told her parents not to worry about her at home.

"You, you~!" Ding Xinhe held the phone, listening to his daughter's mumbling and coquettish voice in the microphone, and said unhappily: "During military training, you must listen to the instructor carefully, don't be naughty and unsociable, understand? It doesn't matter if you get a little tanned, you will get white again after a while. What's more, the sun can promote the synthesis of vitamin D and is beneficial to the absorption of calcium. It's not a bad thing to get some sun. But your school is sunny and the sunshine is fierce, so you should still apply some sunscreen."

"You have to take good care of yourself over there, okay? Mom and Dad still have to work in Shenzhen, and they can't fly to your school all of a sudden... They've been quite busy these days, and I may not have time to call you..." Ding Xinhe kept chattering, reminding his daughter to take good care of herself.

However……

However, the middle-aged man never told his daughter from beginning to end that he was sick and had throat cancer.

He Chun stood aside and watched her husband talking to her daughter, her eyes full of helplessness, but she could only sigh deeply.

When a person is sick, he or she is at his or her weakest and needs the care of his or her family. She believes that her husband must also want to see their daughter very much at this time.

But that’s how parents are. They worry that the examination and surgery will cause trouble for their daughters and delay their studies. They also worry that their children will worry about their illness and worry about it day and night, and won’t be able to study well…

It would be better to say nothing from the beginning.

He Chun didn't say anything, just watching her husband standing quietly by her side. After her husband and daughter hung up the phone, she patted her husband on the shoulder, picked up her small suitcase and prepared to go downstairs to take the bus together...

The couple were in heavy moods. Even after receiving a call from their daughter, their mood did not brighten up, but became gloomy instead.

Ding Xinhe was even more worried that if he could not survive this time, and he had spent a lot of his savings on medical treatment, what would happen to his wife and daughter in the future?

But in this mood...

Ding Xinhe's phone, which he had just hung up, started buzzing again. He frowned slightly and instinctively took out his phone from his trouser pocket...

He originally thought it was a colleague from work calling him, but unexpectedly the call on his cell phone was from an unfamiliar number.

Seeing that the phone number was unfamiliar, Ding Xinhe felt that it might be a scam call and wanted to hang up, but he saw the phone address on the caller ID.

Ding Xinhe was silent for a moment, but finally answered the phone.

"Hello, are you Ding Xinhe, Mr. Ding?" A man's voice was steady and powerful on the other end of the phone, and it came clearly into the ears of Ding Xinhe and He Chun through the receiver.

"Hmm..." Ding Xinhe was puzzled, but he responded instinctively: "I am... May I ask who you are?"

"Hello Mr. Ding, I am Chai Jiang from the Tumor Department of the Sixth Hospital... A few days ago, you came to our Sixth Hospital for outpatient treatment. Our director suggested that you be hospitalized for surgery as soon as possible... May I ask if you have already gone to another hospital for surgery?" Chai Jiang said politely: "If you have already had surgery in another hospital, then please forgive me for disturbing you today. Our hospital just wants to visit you to check on your condition."

Chai Jiang: "But if you haven't gone to other hospitals for surgery, our Director Fan and Doctor Su hope that you can come to our Sixth Hospital for treatment... Because we just happened to have an international conference here, and a famous doctor came. He is very powerful and is on the list of famous doctors in the world. He is best at treating lung cancer and throat cancer. We think this is a good opportunity, so we called you specially. So if you are willing, you can come to the Sixth Hospital's Oncology Department to find me in the next two days. I'm in the Thoracic Tumor Ward..."

Chai Jiang spoke in a slow and unhurried voice, without much hint of sales pitch, only politeness and courtesy.

If Chai Jiang was a shopping guide or salesperson, then if he said this, not many consumers would be willing to buy his products. But as a doctor, he also took out a killer weapon like the "Global Famous Doctors Ranking", which immediately killed Ding Xinhe and He Chun, who were thrown into disarray and had no power to fight back, and surrendered instantly!

Ding Xinhe said excitedly, "Okay, okay! Doctor Chai, I'll go to the Sixth Hospital to see you now! I'll go to the Sixth Hospital now!"

Without any hesitation, Ding Xinhe and He Chun had no worries that what Chai Jiang said was a lie.

The Sixth Hospital is right there, the Oncology Department is right there... No liar would tell such a lie, which cannot fool anyone if asked.

Waves of ecstasy surged into the hearts of the couple. To be called a great doctor by the doctors of the Sixth Hospital and to be listed on the list of famous doctors in the world, what kind of great oncologist must this be?! They are so lucky!

With such a great doctor performing surgery on Ding Xinhe, Ding Xinhe's chances of survival after the surgery will definitely be greatly improved!

With such ecstasy, the couple quickly closed the door, went downstairs, took the bus and then took the subway to the Sixth Hospital.

…………

On the other side, the Oncology Department of the Sixth Hospital.

Chai Jiang looked at Su Tang and blinked. "Doctor Su, why did you specifically think of talking to Dr. Kent about Ding Xinhe? I've seen Ding Xinhe's electronic medical records. He only has ordinary early throat cancer. The possibility of cure is very high. There is no need for Dr. Kent to come in person."

This time, most of the patients that Dr. Kent called were already in the middle stage, and some were even in the late stage. Only a few patients who had a particularly strong reaction to chemotherapy were early stage cancer patients...

But no matter what the case, these patients have only one characteristic, that is, the cancer develops rapidly and the patients are extremely difficult to treat...

For some patients, if Chai Jiang were to say, they are terminally ill and there is absolutely no hope of recovery!

But even so, he thought there were at least 7 patients among those 20 cancer patients who were beyond help!

From this, Chai Jiang could see the gap between himself, Dr. Su, and Dr. Kent! If these 7 people were really 100% hopeless, Dr. Kent and his team would not have called these people and asked them to come from other places!

That's right!

Among these 20 cancer patients, not all of them are Chinese, but some of them flew from abroad specifically for treatment.

Compared with these 20 cancer patients, Ding Xinhe's throat cancer is like a chick whose hair has not yet fully grown, not worth mentioning at all! If Dr. Su had not personally mentioned Ding Xinhe to Dr. Kent and asked Ding Xinhe to join the treatment, he would never have been operated on by Dr. Kent himself.

Kent had almost stopped performing this type of surgery, which could be performed by his students, many years ago.

Su Tang blinked and smiled, revealing two small canine teeth: "Oh, isn't this just a coincidence? Anyway, there are already 20 people, so this one won't make a difference. There's no need to worry about this kind of thing~ We just need to treat the patient~"

She just felt that Ding Xinhe's conversation with his daughter, in which he only reported good news but not worries, was just like the way her adoptive parents treated her. She always felt a little concerned, so she mentioned it.

All in all, it's the other party's luck.
