Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 8 Immunosuppressants

Xu Cang, who had been thinking all night and still hadn't found a way out, gradually became convinced that he was a failed reborn.If he can't save his mother, what's the point of his rebirth?
Xu Cang's desire for money and fame is not serious. He doesn't envy those figures in business and politics. He just wants to save his mother's life.If he can't achieve it, he will have to experience the pain of his mother's death, so it's better not to be born again.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Cang went out with his ID and found that the street was much bustling. He immediately realized that there was a problem, and only after looking at the date did he realize that it was already Saturday.

His mind was so confused these two days that he even forgot that yesterday was Friday.Now even if I go to the company, there is no one there, and tomorrow is the weekend, and there is no one, which means that the flight certificate cannot be handed back.

The air ticket must not be delayed, so we have to put the handing in of the flight certificate to the back.When I originally planned to hand in the flight certificate, I made a decision to leave the company with the flight department, and these will also be delayed.

However, anyway, in the eyes of the company, he is a worthless waste, and no one will care about him.Wait until you have time when you go back to the company to mention the certificates and leaving the post.

After deciding, Xu Cang returned to his residence, settled the housing fee with the hotel owner, and put the flight documents in his luggage.In the evening, he received a message from his father saying that his mother Chen Min's condition had stabilized temporarily, which made Xu Cang breathe a sigh of relief.However, his father didn't mention the information about the subsequent treatment, and Xu Cang didn't ask too much. Anyway, after returning home tomorrow, he can ask the doctor face to face.

Another night passed, Xu Cang woke up early the next day, he had to catch the bus to the airport at [-]:[-] in the morning, and it was too expensive to take a taxi.There are not many things, one is carried on the back, and the other is carried in the hand, mainly clothes, and the flight certificate is placed in the zippered pocket inside the jacket.

In fact, Xu Cang's flight time is around eleven o'clock, but the airport bus only runs three times a day, so it can only be much earlier, so it doesn't matter if you wait at the airport for two hours.

I don't know if it was due to psychological reasons, but the one-hour drive made Xu Cang feel a little motion sick.When we arrived at the airport, there was no self-service check-in machine here. If the time was too early, the manual counter would not be able to check-in, so Xu Cang found a bench and prepared to squat.

I was so dizzy that I didn't even eat the steamed buns I brought with me for breakfast.A pilot was still motion sick, Xu Cang really didn't know how to evaluate himself.

In order to prevent oversleeping, Xu Cang specially set an alarm clock and closed his eyes to rest his mind.As the muscles gradually relaxed, Xu Cang's consciousness gradually became blurred, and not long after, a slight snore sounded.

Since I was reborn the day before yesterday, I have experienced too many things in the past two days, and I was suffering from motion sickness, so I fell asleep quite smoothly.

I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, Xu Cang felt something strange in his thigh, and when he touched it, it seemed that his mobile phone was vibrating.Startled suddenly, he took out his phone to check the time, and it turned out that it was less than five or ten minutes before takeoff.

The alarm clock should have rang half an hour ago, are you so sleepy?
Xu Cang rubbed his eyes, saw that his father Xu Zhenming was calling, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and answered the phone: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Son, are you at the airport yet?"

Xu Cang shook his head, he just kept tilting his head to sleep, and when he woke up, his neck was so sore: "Yeah, check in right away."

"Oh, that's right. I asked you about what you asked me to do during the doctor's rounds just now." Xu Zhenming paused: "The doctor said that conservative treatment is recommended."

"Conservative treatment? Isn't conservative treatment of pulmonary fibrosis just waiting for death?" Xu Cang couldn't believe that the doctor would say that, which is almost equivalent to asking the family members to prepare for the funeral.

Xu Zhenming's voice was very low, probably outside the ward.There was a lot of helplessness in his words: "I mentioned the lung transplant operation you mentioned. But the doctor said that the immunosuppressants currently used to combat organ transplant rejection have serious side effects, especially for the kidneys. You know , your mother’s kidneys are not good. Even if you have a lung transplant operation, you still need to take medicine in the later stage. Your mother can’t stand the medicine. The doctor said that even if the operation is successful, it will be delayed for another year or two. It’s not worth spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on surgery in two years.”

Hearing what his father said, Xu Cang straightened up suddenly. He even forgot to take immunosuppressant after the lung transplant operation.But in his previous life, his mother passed away before even reaching that step, so Xu Cang naturally paid less attention.

Immunosuppressants ranging from the first-generation adrenal cortex hormone to the second-generation cyclosporine are all of the kind with strong side effects, especially cyclosporine has obvious nephrotoxicity, which his mother Chen Min cannot bear at all.

Rationally speaking, the doctor's advice is the best.If you go bankrupt and scrape together money, you can live for a year or two, and the quality of life in the past two years is not high, so it doesn't make much sense.

"If there is a third-generation rapamycin." Xu Cang thought to himself.

He remembered that the third-generation macrolide anti-rejection drug rapamycin would be put into clinical use three years later, and it was on the news at that time.Rapamycin has much fewer side effects than the previous two generations of anti-rejection drugs, especially nephrotoxicity.This is simply the perfect medicine for his mother's condition.

However, his mother had passed away at that time, and Xu Cang probably read the news, so he didn't know much about the new medicine.He has no idea where this medicine was produced or how it is currently being developed.However, he vaguely remembered that the trademark on the package of the medicine in the news was a green leaf, but he couldn't remember the name of the manufacturer.

Xu Cang thought for a moment, and said to his father, "Dad, go ask the doctor if you have heard of a new drug called rapamycin?"

Although the doctor's news should be better than his, but I heard that the pharmaceutical company that developed rapamycin is still a small pharmaceutical company, so I'm afraid it is not well-known.

"Ray what?" This kind of vocabulary is obviously beyond the outline for Xu Zhenming, who only has a primary school education.

"Forget it, I'll ask the doctor when I go back, I'm going to check in." Xu Cang looked at the time, it was almost the latest check-in time, and he didn't dare to waste any more time explaining rapamycin to his dad up.

"Oh, oh, go, go, just send me a message when you board the plane."

Xu Cang hung up the phone quickly, and took two bags to the check-in counter.There was no line in front of the counter, so Xu Cang hurried to the counter and handed his ID card to the teller: "If it's convenient, give me a seat by the corridor or by the window."

The teller worked on the computer for a while, and suddenly returned the ID card to Xu Cang: "Sir, I'm sorry, it's full and there's no room."
