The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 444 Diagnosed with Cancer
Physician terminology: Patients with early gastric cancer do not have obvious subjective symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience symptoms such as upper abdominal fullness, discomfort or dull pain. Some patients may also experience acid reflux, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.

Early patients were found by electronic gastroscopy, and the cancer cells were in the mucosal layer.

If cancer is detected and treated early, it is possible to be cured.

Diagnosed by experts from the Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Beijing Medical University, Lao Tan is in the early stage of gastric cancer, which is the kind of early detection.

The expert who saw Lao Tan was an old friend of an old Chinese doctor in Beijing. After receiving a call from Zhou Xiaomei, Wang Shulan found the old Chinese doctor. He has a look there.

Experts told Wang Shulan, Zhou Xiaomei, and Yang Zhijun: "If cancer is discovered early, actively cooperate with treatment, strengthen the immune system, and add a good attitude, the possibility of cure is very high. The main thing is not to put pressure on the patient, try to relax.

I think the patient's mood is quite good, and he has psychological endurance, so your family members should remain optimistic and don't create pressure on the patient.

Also, the old Chinese doctor called and told you to send the patient to him after the diagnosis. He had seen the patient before and wanted to see it again.Sometimes Chinese medicine treatments are surprisingly effective against cancer. "

The expert's words were tantamount to giving the three of them great hope, so they quickly thanked the expert and dragged Lao Tan to the old Chinese doctor.

Lao Tan already knew about his illness, and it was a lie to say that he was not afraid, but he was really afraid, and he thought of death.

At this moment, his heart and brain were all gray, and his face was no different from that of a dead person, it was gray.I can hear people talking, but I can't hear what they are saying. There is only one voice in my heart: cancer, cancer, really cancer——
When Wang Shulan told him that the old Chinese doctor came here, he didn't react much, but just followed along numbly, with a stiff expression, neither happy nor sad.

"Will you die?" This was his second voice besides "cancer". After the word death appeared, it began to hover in his head, like an evil spirit that couldn't be driven away.

The old Chinese doctor with white hair and childlike face was very calm and relaxed. He asked Lao Tan to sit down and didn't take his pulse immediately. He looked at Lao Tan for a while and said, "Your complexion is not suitable for recuperation. Any disease is treated with three parts and seven parts. There is no medicine to cure the disease, only a healthy mind and body.

Medicine cures disease, so what is immortality?It means immortality in heart, not immortality in illness.No matter how good the medical skills are, it is difficult to use medicines for people who are desperate. Even if they are right, they are useless, and sometimes they become poison.

People eat five grains, and it is common for people to get sick, and you are not alone.Take it easy, an early gastric cancer is nothing.People have a good mentality in the mid-term, and actively cooperate with treatment. There are people who live for two or 30 years. What are you afraid of? "

"Look at how good people say, Lao Tan, don't think about it, there's nothing wrong." Wang Shulan forced a smile on her face and said to Lao Tan.

Lao Tan listened to what the old Chinese doctor said, his face was a little lively, he squeezed the corner of his mouth, and said, "I understand, it's just a little—"

"It's a bit unacceptable, isn't it?" The old Chinese doctor smiled, and then said: "There is nothing that can't be accepted, isn't it just a tumor, it can be enlarged and we can eliminate it, but it can't be eliminated across the board. What can I do? The size of the stomach It's nothing, just lose weight.

Come, let me take your pulse.The last time I took the pulse, I felt that your stomach was a little abnormal, but there were no symptoms at that time, so I was not sure, and you didn’t come later, so it’s fine if you come, and there will be no such thing. "

Although the words of the old Chinese doctor were reproachful, listening to them was reassuring.

Old Tan recalled the matter that Wang Shulan asked him to come for a follow-up visit at the beginning of the year, and he found all kinds of excuses not to come, so he couldn't help but regret it.This regret shifted my mood, and I didn't think about cancer or death for the time being.

The old Chinese doctor took the pulse for 5 minutes. During the period, he looked at Lao Tan's tongue and asked about the pain symptoms and diet. The questions were very careful, and Lao Tan answered them truthfully.

After taking the pulse, I asked Lao Tan to lie on his back on the bed, lifted his shirt to expose his stomach, pressed several places on his chest and stomach respectively, and asked Lao Tan if it hurts when he pressed it.

After the examination, the old Chinese doctor said: "Let me tell you, this is early gastric cancer, the cancer cells have just formed, the best treatment is chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can kill cancer cells, but not all of them can survive, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy have side effects on the body, which I know without saying.

I will use traditional Chinese medicine to treat you for a month, divided into two courses.In the first half of the month, I drank the medicine for twelve days and stopped taking it for three days.Drink for thirteen days in the second half of the month, stop the drug for two days, and then go to the hospital for examination.

The number of cancer cells should decrease in a month, and I will see the results of the examination before deciding whether to continue chemotherapy or continue conditioning. "

"Need chemotherapy?" Old Tan asked.

"Well, it's better not to have it, it depends on how you cooperate. You think that you have cancer every day, and you will live in a few days. Chemotherapy is not enough, and it will get worse sooner if you don't.

If you don’t think about anything, just treat it as if it’s nothing, you should eat and drink, play and have fun, go out for a walk if you have nothing to do, relax, enjoy the scenery, maybe it’s okay not to take medicine.

Now that the level of medical care is so advanced, how many people still die from stomach cancer?Unless late. "

After the old Chinese doctor said this, Lao Tan's heart became much brighter, half of the clouds dispersed, and his face became more lively.Not only him, Wang Shulan, Zhou Xiaomei, and Yang Zhijun also breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

After coming out of the old doctor's office, the four went to the nearby Liulin restaurant for dinner. During the meal, Lao Tan asked Zhou Xiaomei and Yang Zhijun to go back to Hohhot first, and stay for treatment by himself.At the same time, he asked the two of them not to tell others about his cancer, and let no one tell, he wanted to recuperate with peace of mind.

"Will you not tell my third sister-in-law?" Yang Zhijun asked.

"Well, I'll tell her then." Old Tan said.

Lao Tan didn't intend to tell Lin Yan, he didn't want to make her get angry, or she didn't want to get angry at all.He was afraid that his son would know.

"Yanhua didn't tell me?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"Don't tell." Old Tan said.

"Well, I see." Zhou Xiaomei nodded, and then said: "Uncle, from now on, you can rest easy and recuperate, don't think about anything else, don't worry, I'm here."

"I can't even think about it now." Old Tan said with a wry smile on his face.

"Third brother, don't have any psychological burdens, just keep your heart open, and the old doctor won't say anything, there's nothing wrong." Yang Zhijun comforted.

"Don't worry, the third brother can think about it. But at the beginning, he couldn't stand it, so he went to the blind place to think about it. After thinking about it, he can't live for two days. The child is still so young, so what if I leave.

I didn't see it in the hospital, I was standing upright, if I had been softer, I would have sat on the ground.In the past, I actually said that other people did it, and I didn’t know if it didn’t happen. Today, I have a deep understanding. It’s a lie to say that cancer can’t kill people, but most of them are scared to death. "

"It's not a big deal. They scare themselves. You see what the old Chinese doctor said, as long as you have a good attitude, you can't beat cancer." Wang Shulan said.

Her words made everyone laugh, and it was so easy for the first time in a day.

After eating, Zhou Xiaomei and Yang Zhijun returned to Hohhot. Before leaving, Zhou Xiaomei took Wang Shulan's hand and said, "Sister Wang, I will leave my uncle to you. You will take good care of me. Come when I finish handling the company's affairs." .”

"Don't worry, it's fine, I promise to take care of it." Wang Shulan said.

"My third brother will ask Sister Wang. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. When will I go to Hohhot and promise to be there." Yang Zhijun bowed to Wang Shulan with affection and righteousness, and Lao Tan was very moved.

What is a brother, this is a brother.

"Uncle, rest easy and recuperate. I'll see you in two days." Zhou Xiaomei walked up to Lao Tan and said with tears in her eyes.She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help herself.

Lao Tan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Well, uncle is fine, go back, there are many things waiting for you at home."

Yang Zhijun came over and wanted to shake hands with Lao Tan, but he didn't shake after thinking about it, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, third brother, we will go back to drink during the New Year, and I will wait for you."

"it is good!"

Yang Zhijun and Zhou Xiaomei drove away.

Standing there watching the two of them drifting away, Lao Tan left two lines of tears on his face——
