After Chen Yingrong came in, Chen Zihan told him that he had sent an email to the oncologist in Zhonghai and called him to ask for a consultation.
"Professor Li happens to be free. He'll review the CT scans now and give us a diagnosis later."
"The New Year is almost here. I hope it's just a common calcification or inflammation," Chen Yingrong said worriedly, "otherwise, we won't be able to have a peaceful New Year."
"Before I came back, I specifically checked the pathological and imaging characteristics of lung cancer," Chen Zihan whispered to Chen Yingrong. Grandma's CT images were very similar to the lung adenocarcinoma described in the book.
"There's a high chance that grandma has cancer. But the location is good, on the edge of the lung, with clear boundaries and no infiltration. There are no abnormalities in other parts of the body either. Even if it's cancer, it hasn't metastasized!"
After hearing this, Chen Yingrong frowned slightly.
But he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
What Chen Zihan said was similar to the answers he received from radiologists and oncologists.
Chen Zihan checked the time. "Ten minutes have passed. Let me see if Professor Li has replied!"
After logging back into Chen Yingrong's 163 mailbox, Chen Zihan was "surprised" to find that new emails had arrived.
"Professor Li replied really quickly." Chen Zihan opened the email and read the reply with Chen Yingrong.
Seeing the reply, Chen Yingrong's expression changed slightly again.
The reply to the email clearly told them that the shadow in Chen Zihan’s grandmother’s lung was early-stage adenocarcinoma in situ, and surgery was recommended as soon as possible.
The prognosis of surgery is very good now, and it has almost no impact on life. As long as the operation is successful, the patient's physical condition will not be affected.
In other words, if the operation is performed well, the patient is equivalent to never having cancer.
Chen Yingrong asked Chen Zihan: "What do you think we should do?"
Although Chen Zihan was only a freshman, he had some knowledge about lung cancer, and he was also the one who contacted Professor Li, whom Zhao Zhiyuan helped to contact, so Chen Yingrong asked for his opinion.
"Have the surgery as soon as possible!" Chen Zihan offered his opinion. "If it can be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, that would be the best."
"If the surgery is done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, your grandmother will have to spend the New Year in the hospital!" Although Chen Yingrong knew that the sooner the surgery was done, the better, he was still a little hesitant and worried. "It wouldn't be convenient to ask Professor Li to come in during the New Year, right?"
"It's inconvenient to ask him to come for surgery during the Chinese New Year. It's also unlucky for grandma to have surgery right after the Chinese New Year." Chen Zihan said to Chen Yingrong seriously, "When I contacted Professor Li this morning, I asked him when would be most convenient. He told me that he doesn't have surgeries scheduled before the New Year and is available these two days. He might be traveling abroad during the Chinese New Year and won't be back until at least the sixth day of the New Year. After the sixth day, the hospital's specialist clinics are open as usual. So, I think it's better to have the surgery before the New Year!"
Chen Yingrong nodded. "Talk to your mother first. If she agrees, ask her to discuss it with the others. If they all agree, then the surgery can be done in the next two days. Then contact Professor Li and ask if he's available in the next two days. Otherwise, give me your phone number and I'll contact him."
"Dad, I'll make the contact! I've been in touch with him a few times and we're already quite familiar with each other." Chen Zihan thought for a moment and then found another excuse. "Dad, you know, someone like Professor Li wouldn't want anyone to know about him coming down here to perform surgery on you. People of their level wouldn't be too interested in operating outside. He must be willing to come because of Dean Zhao's face. And Dean Zhao has a big prejudice against you, so you shouldn't get involved in this matter. I'll be in charge of everything!"
Chen Yingrong didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Chen Yingrong was well aware that Zhao Zhiyuan had a prejudice against him.
Because of this, Chen Yingrong tried to avoid meeting Zhao Zhiyuan. He also didn't want to ask Zhao Zhiyuan for anything, and Chen Zihan's words actually suited his taste.
However, he is the son-in-law and works in a hospital, so he should be the one to coordinate and be responsible for the aftermath of such matters.
Seeing Chen Yingrong's hesitation, Chen Zihan immediately said, "Dad, leave this matter to me. I will be fully responsible. When Professor Li comes, I will pick him up at the station and send him to the operating room. After the operation, I will send him back to the car. He doesn't want others to know that he came to us for surgery, so we will follow his wishes and try not to expose him. Anyway, he wears a hat and a mask when entering the operating room, so he doesn't have to worry about being photographed. Even if someone wants to report it, it won't harm him. I will give him the surgery fee and the red envelope when I see him off. You and others should not show up during his surgery. Leave it all to me! Don't tell Dean Zhao and Aunt Wu about this to avoid any bad influence. I have a closer relationship with them. If you have anything, just talk to me directly!"
After a pause, he immediately said, "Dad, doing something like this is also a test for me! I will be the one holding a scalpel in the future, so it's only right that I familiarize myself with these situations as soon as possible."
"I'll ask your mother later. If she has no objection, then let's do it this way!" Chen Yingrong finally agreed.
In 2002, it was not very common to invite doctors from higher-level hospitals to perform surgery.
Even if someone does this, they do it secretly and dare not make it public.
If the news of going out to earn extra money gets out, it will definitely have a bad impact.
Moreover, you may be treated by the hospital where you are located.
Therefore, after listening to Chen Zihan's words, Chen Yingrong was also persuaded by him.
