Chapter 118 Advanced Stomach Cancer!!

“The sound image of the tumor and the interface is very blurry, the decomposition is not clear, and there is a partial adhesion between the adjacent two boundaries!”

Lin Yu raised his head, his expression a little solemn.

“The only good news is that most of the gastric cancer is distributed in the stomach body and has not metastasized to the adjacent organs, which is a near-advanced gastric cancer.”

Hideki Takano sighed.

“Who went in and announced?”

“Let’s go together.”

Lin Yu said.

Thirty-nine years old, a good age in life, suddenly knowing that he had advanced stomach cancer was a heavy blow to him as a person and his family, and it was three families.

Pushing the door in, Hongo was chatting with his wife.

“Wife, listen to me, I don’t have time to eat!”

“I recently wrote a novel about Kamen Rider who caught fire on the Internet! It’s hot and must be kept updated! ”

Lin Yu was stunned.

“Writer?”

Hongo smiled modestly.

“Haha, yes, yes!”

“Does it still hurt?”

Lin Yu asked.

“It still hurts! It hurts a lot! But it’s okay, I often do this, doctor, prescribe me some painkillers! I’ll go back after eating IU! ”

Lin Yu was silent for a few seconds and beckoned to Hongo Meng’s wife.

Hideki Takano, Lin Yu, and including Hongo Mong’s wife walked out of the ward together, leaving Hongo alone.

“Doctor, what’s going on?”

Hongo’s wife is nervous.

In general, ordinary minor ailments, doctors hi speak out in front of the patient.

Such a situation of avoiding patients may be not optimistic.

“Your husband has stomach cancer and is about to develop advanced stomach cancer.”

With an apologetic look on his face, Hideki Takano announced the result.

Hongo Mong’s wife froze and turned her head to look at Hongo Mon in the ward.

After his wife left, Hongo Meng in the ward no longer pretended to be relaxed, grinning in pain, and almost out of breath.

But when his wife outside the window looked over, Hongo immediately smiled and whistled indifferently.

Seeing this scene, Hongo Meng’s wife cried on the spot, took Lin Yu’s hand, and cried and begged.

“Doctor! You must save my husband, Dong! ”

“He is only thirty-nine years old, we still have a pair of children to raise, I can’t live without him!”

Hideki Takano sighed and shook his head.

Lin Yu thought of yesterday’s numerous rewards, the new medical technique rewarded, total gastrectomy!

“Director Takano, maybe you can try a total gastrectomy?”

Lin Yu said.

“No, it has reached the advanced stage of gastric cancer, and the adjacent organs have been eroded by gastric cancer, and there is no point in doing a total gastrectomy.”

Hideki Takano frowned.

“Moreover, total gastrectomy is a fourth-level operation, which is extremely difficult in itself, and only senior chief doctors dare to do it.”

“Ultrasound shows that only part of the adjacent organs are affected, and we can remove the affected organs together.”

Lin Yu handed over the abdominal ultrasound.

Before the two could finish discussing, Hongo’s wife crossed her hands and made an X shape.

“Nope! Without a stomach, what will my husband eat in the future! Isn’t that just dead! ”

Lin Yu helplessly explained for her.

“The function of the stomach is indeed very important, but it is no longer meaningful to your husband, in fact, the stomach only provides the mechanical function of temporarily holding and grinding food, and there is also a negligible digestion and absorption function.”

This is a misconception that many people have about total gastrectomy.

Lin Yudao.

“Food jokes mainly rely on the small intestine, even if the total gastrectomy hand speed is performed, it will still produce hunger, the joke function of the intestine will not be affected, and after a total gastrectomy, there are many ways to rebuild the digestive tract.”

“Can I keep a little?”

Hongo’s wife asked cautiously.

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.

“We can only look at the long-term effect, your husband discovered stomach cancer too late, and now we can only consider total gastrectomy.”

“What will happen to my husband…”

Hongo’s wife wiped her tears and asked.

Lin Yu chose to tell the truth because of it.

“Patients with advanced gastric cancer will have a significant decline in quality of life, followed by hematemesis, melena, accompanied by anemia, weakness of limbs and other symptoms.”

“I already let him go to the hospital! Write that novel every day, vomit blood, and say that I want to update it! Hmm,” Hongo’s wife sobbed.

“~ What about all that? What else? ”

Hongo’s wife intends to take all the blows.

Lin Yu paused for a moment and spoke.

“Also, persistent epigastric pain, followed by tenderness, edema, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, difficulty swallowing, etc.”

Of course, Lin Yu still had some words to say.

In advanced gastric cancer, the cancerous cells will spread directly to the adjacent pancreas, liver, transverse colon nodes, and also metastasize through lymph to perigastric lymph nodes and distant lymph nodes, which can be judged by touching the left suprinal hard and inactive lymph nodes.

In addition, cancer cells can also metastasize to the liver, brain, bones, ovaries, etc. through blood circulation, resulting in symptoms such as ascites, jaundice, and ascites in liver ascites!

The enlargement of the cancer itself can also cause complications such as gastric perforation, bleeding, necrosis, obstruction, etc.

In any case, in the advanced stage of stomach cancer, Hongo Meng’s life is basically over.

Performing a total gastrectomy is merely to prolong life and improve the quality of life in the final stage.

Lin Yu mentioned again.

“After total gastrectomy, the five-year survival rate is about 20%, or you can choose chemotherapy to delay tumor recurrence and control tumor progression, but as far as your husband’s current situation is concerned, chemotherapy is of little significance, and if you do not undergo total gastrectomy, I am afraid it will not last long.”

“I see…”

“Is it okay if I discuss it with my husband?”

Hongo Meng’s wife lowered her head, and Lin Yu nodded.

Hongo’s wife walked into the ward.

The door of the ward closed again, and Lin Yu saw Hongo Meng sit up in pain, and made a face with himself.
