Chapter 1 Bad News

The Great Destruction·New Era.

Monday, May 11, 2020.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Shen took a bus to the Sixth Hospital on Yishan Road in Shanghai for a physical examination.

In recent days, he found that a set of red numbers often appeared in front of his eyes.

At first it was [90], but yesterday it became [89]. After waking up this morning, the number turned into [88], which made him feel inexplicably nervous and scared.

At first he wondered if he was suffering from visual hallucinations?

However, that set of numbers does not appear in front of my eyes all the time, but only appears when I look at it for a while, so the possibility of hallucinations is ruled out.

Later, I wondered if it was caused by being too tired recently?

This is possible.

As a student who graduated from an ordinary second-level university, his work is very tiring and 996 is a daily routine. In the 30 days last month, he took a total of one day off, and he also had to pay attention to the work group at all times to understand the progress of the project.

As a 30-year-old working man, if you don't work hard, you may be eliminated at any time.

News reports indicate that there will be nearly 9 million college graduates this year, and statistics show that the number of fresh graduates will remain at a high level in the next ten to twenty years, and the demographic dividend will not truly end until after 2040.

He really can't win those bonuses.

"Except when I was in college, I haven't had a detailed physical examination for many years, right?"

While waiting in line to take his blood pressure and pulse, Zhou Shen thought to himself.

In fact, the company provides a free physical examination every year, but because he is a hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier, commonly known as "Little Sanyang", he cheated when he first joined the job. Later, he was afraid of being exposed after joining the job, so he never went for a physical examination.

Although the state stipulates that employers are not allowed to refuse employment on the grounds that they are hepatitis B virus carriers, hepatitis B is not even allowed to be tested during the employment physical examination in many places.

But the reality is that the employer can just find an excuse to fire you, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the name of HBV. What can you do?

So there is no way to cheat.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to find a job.

The number of hepatitis B virus carriers in China exceeds 80 million. These people are subject to invisible discrimination in work, life and social life, which leads many people to avoid medical treatment and not to mention that they have hepatitis B in front of others.

He also hoped countless times in his heart that a drug to eliminate hepatitis B virus could be developed as soon as possible.

But he had learned a long time ago that DNA viruses like hepatitis B virus are difficult to defeat and belong to the lifetime series.

And...good medicine is not necessarily a good product.



Take your blood pressure, pulse, and height and weight.

My blood pressure and pulse are both within the normal range, and my weight is a bit low. My height of 175cm is only 110kg.

Next is a blood test to check blood routine, liver and kidney function, blood sugar and blood lipids.

A middle-aged male doctor in his fifties looked at the computer and typed while asking: "Is there any family genetic history?"

Zhou Shen originally wanted to hide it, but after thinking about it he still said: "Hepatitis B."

The doctor entered the genetic history into the computer and then asked: "When was the last examination?"

Zhou Shen said: "It's been several years."

The doctor said with some dissatisfaction: "Since we know that hepatitis B is present, why don't we do regular check-ups?"

Zhou Shen smiled helplessly and said nothing.

Because I am worried about being discriminated against by others, I usually never mention it, and rarely go for special examinations. Even if I do, I only do a liver function test at most.

In fact, he is not the only one. Most people are indifferent to their own bodies. They often wait until symptoms affect their normal life before going to the hospital as a last resort.

Then the doctor prescribed a bunch of check-ups for him. In addition to routine blood tests, liver and kidney function, blood sugar and blood lipids, he also added DNA virus tests, alpha-fetoprotein, B-ultrasound, etc.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, go to the machines 11 to 15 in the lobby on the first floor to get the test report."

"Got it, thank you."

After drawing blood, Zhou Shen pressed the blood collection hole on his arm with a cotton swab, took the color ultrasound sheet and went to line up for abdominal color ultrasound examination.

Maybe it was because it was a Monday. There were so many people doing color Doppler ultrasound that it was hard to get him in line.

At the request of the female doctor, Zhou Shen lay on the examination bed, lifted up his clothes, and exposed his lower abdomen and chest.

"Come up higher."

Zhou Shen moved his butt upwards and placed his abdomen just below the female doctor's hands.

"alright!"

The female doctor picked up the bottle and poured some sticky glue on his belly, then picked up the abdominal probe and rolled it back and forth on his lower abdomen while looking at the images on the computer.

After a while, the female doctor suddenly made a confused voice.

"Um?"

Zhou Shen asked: "What's wrong, doctor?"

The female doctor did not answer, but asked: "Do you know what's going on with your body?"

Zhou Shen's heart skipped a beat when he heard the female doctor's tone. He raised his head and asked nervously: "I don't know, what's the matter?"

"Don't move, just lie down first..."

After the female doctor finished speaking, she continued to examine.

No words were said again until the end.

After the examination, Zhou Shen wiped the glue on his chest with a tissue and asked, "Doctor, is there something wrong?"

The female doctor said calmly: "Let's ask the doctor after the report comes out!"

Zhou Shen had no choice but to ask: "How long will it take for the report to come out?"

"Go to the lobby on the first floor to pick it up in half an hour."

"Okay, thank you doctor..."

Zhou Shen stood in the lobby on the first floor waiting with an anxious mood.

During this period, the apprentice called and asked about the project plan. Zhou Shen explained it to him. After the call was completed, he came to the machine, took out the registration form and scanned it. The machine quickly spit out the color ultrasound diagnosis.

Report card.

He took a look and saw that there were various data at the top that he couldn't understand, nor could he understand the color ultrasound graphics below, so he looked directly at the ultrasound description below.

The ultrasound description is densely written.

[Liver: The shape and size of the liver section are normal, the echo of the liver parenchyma is uneven, the duct structure and blood flow are clearly displayed, and a strong echogenic spot with a length of 1.02CM can be seen in the right lobe of the liver, which is not located in the lumen. The visible size of the right lobe of the liver is about 0.83×0.65

㎝Medium-strong echogenic nodule with clear border...]

[Gallbladder: cut surface shape, normal size, thin and smooth wall, about 8mm of medium echogenic mass visible in the wall, no sound shadow, no movement when changing body position.]

【Bile duct, pancreas and spleen, normal.】

Zhou Shen quickly read the ultrasound description. Although he didn't understand what those professional terms meant, it was obvious that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but start to feel nervous.

He quickly looked at the ultrasound prompt below.

[There are multiple hypoechoic nodules in the left lobe of the liver, the nature of which remains to be determined (Ca transfer is considered), further examination is recommended.]

[Strong echogenic nodule in the right lobe of the liver, nature to be determined (calcified plaque?)]

【Gallbladder polyps.】

【The spleen is not enlarged.】

【The pancreas is not big.】

[Recommend further inspection.]

Zhou Shen quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the Qiandu search engine, and entered: What does it mean to have multiple hypoechoic nodules in the left lobe of the liver?

The first answer from the chief physician of a tertiary hospital on the home page: [Multiple hypoechoic nodules in the liver usually refer to multiple tumor lesions in the liver, which commonly include liver cysts, fatty liver, cirrhotic nodules, hemangiomas, adenomas, liver

Focal nodular hyperplasia, liver cancer, metastatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, etc...]

Seeing the "tumorous lesions", a rush of blood rushed straight to Zhou Shen Tianling Gai.

His eyes went black for a while, and his phone almost fell to the ground.

"No...no way, there must be a mistake!"

He suppressed the fear in his heart, put away his cell phone and report form, and then walked towards the physical examination center on the second floor as if he had lost his soul.

The physician at the physical examination center took the report and looked at it, his brows instantly furrowed.

Zhou Shen was like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced to death. He didn't dare to ask any questions and stared at the doctor.

The doctor then took out his phone and made a call. After saying a few words, he handed the report to Zhou Shen and said with a serious look: "Go and call the expert number of the infectious disease department, and then go to the infectious disease department on the fifth floor to find Director Zhang. He is

Hepatologist, I just happened to come over for a consultation today."

"Doctor...I, I, I..."

Zhou Shen's lips trembled twice and he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask anything and turned around and left the physical examination department mechanically.

After registering as a specialist, he went to the infectious disease clinic on the fifth floor.

Zhang Yuqing, the chief expert with gray hair and a kind-hearted look, took the color ultrasound and took a look at it. Then he subconsciously adjusted the frame of his glasses with his hand, turned around and asked in a gentle voice: "Young man, did you come here alone, dad?"

Where is mom? If her home is not far away, let them come to the hospital."

When Zhou Shen heard this, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He suppressed the huge fear and said in a different tone: "My parents passed away. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I checked the information on the Internet... I know the test

What does the data on the slip mean? It’s liver cancer, right?”

At the end of the story, Zhou Shen almost cried.

"Uh...well..."

Director Zhang Yuqing hesitated and said: "According to the report, you may have liver cancer, and there is a certain probability that it has spread. However, further examination is needed, maybe..."

Director Zhang Yuqing spoke very cautiously, using uncertain words such as "possible" and "a certain probability".

However, Zhou Shen was still stunned when he heard "diffusion". He couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly and there was a buzzing in his ears.

Even if he doesn't know much about medicine, he knows that only late-stage cancer will spread.
