Tang Xin has been suffering from frequent stomach cramps recently. After being persuaded by her colleagues, she finally took advantage of this break to go to the hospital for a check-up.
"The doctor's results are out, is there anything wrong with my body?" Tang Xin sat on the stool next to the doctor's table and looked at the doctor anxiously.
The doctor looked at Tang Xin and then at the report, "Are you coming for the examination alone? Are you accompanied by family members?"
Tang's heart skipped a beat, "No, I came here alone. I have no family members. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I can make my own decision."
The doctor hesitated for a moment, put the report in front of Tang Xin, pointed to the result and said, "Your stomach may be cancerous. You are doing further examination to make sure."
Tang Xin was even more panicked, tears were already welling up in her eyes, and her voice was slightly choked, "How could it be? I'm only 20 this year, I'm still so young..."
"The preliminary judgment is that it is cancerous, so further tests are needed to test the degree of canceration. Based on what you said before, colic occurs frequently, colic is accompanied by vomiting, and the vomitus has blood streaks, etc., the preliminary judgment is that it is cancer. Of course, everything is possible before the results come out. Prepare for the worst. I will arrange a test for you now. You go first. The results will be available within three days at the earliest. You can be contacted at the phone number above. Right? When the results come out, it means you have cancer. If there is no phone call to you, it means your stomach is fine. Relax and don’t be too anxious. Even cancer can be divided into early, middle and late stages. Coordinated treatment is It can be cured, don’t worry.”
Tang Xin: Thank you, but I don't feel comforted. "You can contact me at the phone number above, so I'll do a checkup first. Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Before the results come out, eat on time as usual and try not to eat spicy food. This time I will prescribe some painkillers for you. You can take one when you feel pain."
…
Tang Xin wandered back to the dormitory. There were no colleagues in the dormitory at this time. They were waiters at the hot pot restaurant. They all took turns to take breaks. This time, it was Tang Xin's break.
Tang Xin has not yet recovered from the doctor's words, her little face is still wrinkled. She is an orphan. Her parents died when she was a child, and she grew up with her grandma. However, her grandma also passed away when she was 13 years old. She didn't have any relatives at home, and those who did avoided her like the god of plague, and she wouldn't go to them. She grew up alone. In the past few years, she worked part-time while supporting herself in school. Later, she didn't take the exam after finishing high school. I stopped studying at my favorite school and went to work to make money. In order to save a penny to pay for tuition, I often skipped meals. Over time, I developed stomach problems. At first, I just had stomach pain when I was hungry. I didn't take it seriously at first. Later, the colic became too frequent, so I decided to go to the hospital for a checkup. Then I heard such bad news. Although the doctor said he was not sure yet, the doctor's expression was probably not bad.
I haven't started enjoying the world yet, am I about to start counting down?
Tang Xin felt that her life was too miserable. Her father died in a car accident before she was born. Her mother became depressed and did not sit well during the confinement period. Of course, there was also a chance of postpartum depression. When she was 2 years old, villagers died in the river. When their mother's body was found, everyone thought she had committed suicide by jumping into the river. She and her grandmother were left alone to depend on each other. The grandmother was also in poor health and had to raise her granddaughter. Gradually, the grandmother's health became worse and worse, and she finally left Tang Xin behind. Facing this cold world alone. I just finished high school and stopped studying. Because I didn’t have any skills, I came to work as a waiter in a hot pot restaurant. I have persisted until now, and my income is getting more and more impressive. I can buy things that I dared not buy before, and my food is getting better and better. . But she was suddenly told that she might have cancer. Will the last trace of warmth left to Tang Xin in this world eventually leave her?
Tang Xin lay in the dormitory for three days in a daze. Today was the earliest day the doctor said the results would be available. After opening her eyes, Tang Xin kept staring at her phone, praying that God had made a joke on her.
After such a torturous day, Tang Xin got up and prepared to go to work as usual the next day. She felt that she had just made a false alarm, and her face finally no longer looked frowning.
Hot pot restaurants usually only open around ten o'clock. As soon as Tang Xin arrived at the store, she received a call from the doctor, asking her to come to the hospital now.
Is your hanging heart finally going to sink?
Tang Xin didn't feel as panicked as she did at the beginning of the examination, probably because she lay there in a daze for a few days, looking back on her short life, and there was no one around her that she needed to worry about. She was so busy that she didn't seem so scared anymore.
Once again, I stepped into Dr. Ma's department and sat on the stool waiting for the doctor to pronounce the final result.
"The results are out. It's late-stage gastric cancer. Although you are already in the advanced stage, there is a chance of recovery with active treatment. We will arrange hospitalization for you. Further treatment will begin tomorrow. You can now go back and pack some daily necessities for hospitalization. "
Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, is it in the late stage? There is basically no chance of recovery in the late stage. "Doctor Ma, if I give up treatment in this situation, how long can I probably live?"
Dr. Ma was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that a girl in her early 20s would give up treatment. "It will take 3-4 months. With drug intervention, you can live longer. There is still a chance in ten or eight years. You You are still so young, maybe you can live for many more ten or eight years, don’t give up easily, the little girl is so young, think on the bright side.”
Tang Xin made up her mind in the few days she was waiting for the results. If it really couldn't be cured, she would stop curing it and relax herself in the rest of the time. Although this life was short, she was always busy and never gave herself any time. After relaxing, although there is not much time left, then use the remaining time to be happy!
Tang Xin shook his head, "It's not curable. 3-4 months is quite a long time. Doctor Ma, please give me some painkillers. I want to save the rest of my time to see the world."
"Are you really giving up on treatment? You are still so young and the chance of recovery is very high. Why don't you give it a try?"
Tang Xin still shook her head firmly, and Dr. Ma also gave up persuading him. He just took out a document agreeing to give up treatment and gave it to Tang Xin to sign.
The next time, Tang Xin quit her job and bought a single room to live nearby. Her colleagues took her to play lottery. Although she almost didn't win, she won 50,000 yuan. She was a small player in a hot pot restaurant. It has been popular for a while, and it makes money much faster than working a regular job! Tonight she decided to try her luck again. What if she won another fifty thousand?
Just do it! If she wins again, she will prepare to take the driving license test! Then buy an RV and be buried wherever you end up!
