More than three years ago, my daughter Qian Qian, who had always been very lively, suffered from frequent nosebleeds and no appetite. She didn't even want to eat KFC, which she used to like.
Cao Fang took her to the hospital for a check-up, and went through various tests and examinations. Finally, the doctor told her the results with a solemn expression. Cao Fang felt dizzy at that time and almost fainted.
She sat on a chair in the hospital corridor and dialed Yu Hao's number. When the call was dialed, she felt that her heart and throat were blocked by something and she couldn't say a word.
Yu Wenhao was shouting on the other end of the phone, but there was no sound from Cao Fang. Finally, her daughter Qianqian picked up the phone and called him daddy.
Yu Wenhao asked Qianqian what was wrong, and Qianqian said: "Dad, I'm sick."
"Where's mom?" Yu Wenhao asked.
Qianqian said: "Mom is crying."
When he received the call, Yu Wenhao was in the office, and Cao Fang took Qianqian for examination at the Qiantang branch of Shaw Hospital.
Yu Wenhao's heart trembled, Cao Fang was crying, and he immediately had a premonition that his daughter's illness was not a minor illness.
Yu ran to the gate after saying hello, and didn't even have time to go to the garage to wait for the car to pick up the car. When he saw an employee coming on a shared bicycle, he called him "let me use it", got on the bicycle and rushed to Shaw Hospital.
It took him more than ten minutes to reach the distance of more than 10 kilometers.
Yu Wenhao found Cao Fang and Qian Qian in the corridor. Cao Fang saw him, hugged him and started crying. Qian Qian was frightened and started crying too.
Yu Wenhao took Qian Qian's medical records and examination sheets and looked at them, but he was also shocked.
The two of them sat in the corridor for more than two hours, Cao Fang's tears had dried up, and Yu Wenhao felt hopeless.
Qian Qian was more than four years old but not yet five years old at that time. She was still very confused about what happened. She only knew that she was sick. But this was not the first time she was sick. She had given birth many times and came to the hospital.
She had come many times for injections and saline treatment, and she didn't know why her parents were particularly sad this time.
Qianqian snuggled between the two of them. From time to time, she turned to look at her mother and then her father. When she looked at her mother, her mother touched her head with red eyes. When she looked at her father,
, Dad’s eyes were also red, and he also touched her head.
Qian Qian finally couldn't bear it any longer and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm hungry."
Only then did Yu Wenhao and Cao Fang realize that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, well past lunch time.
Yu Wenhao and Cao Fang said, "Let's go. I'll ask someone to find some connections in the afternoon. Tomorrow we'll go to Zhejiang No. 1 Hospital to find an expert. Maybe there's something wrong here."
Cao Fang knew that the test sheets in her hand were all tested by machines and printed out by computers, and could not be seen by a doctor with the naked eye. How could they be wrong? Shaw Hospital is also a large hospital, and belongs to the same family as Zhejiang One and Zhejiang Two.
Zhejiang University, the equipment here may be the same as that of Zhejiang No. 1 Hospital. The possibility of making a mistake is too low.
But Cao Fang was unwilling to accept the result like this, so she nodded.
The three of them finished their meal next to the hospital. Yu said hello and was worried. He would not let Cao Fang drive. Instead, he drove Cao Fang's car and took them home. He then took a taxi to the work.
When he arrived at the unit, Yu Wenhao went to see Mr. Qu and told him the matter. Mr. Qu helped him find a reporter from the Hangzhou Daily Hospital and contacted Professor Zheng from the Hematology Department of Zhejiang No. 1 Hospital.
The results of a review at Zhejiang No. 1 Hospital were the same as those at Shaw Hospital. They were diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Professor Zheng comforted them and said that it was not that scary. There are many ways to treat leukemia now, and targeted drugs are also very effective.
The most important thing is that the cost is not like before. Just taking imatinib costs more than 300,000 yuan a year.
"Now that imatinib has been included in the medical insurance, it is no longer like in "I am not the God of Medicine". If you add it up for a year, you only need to bear the total cost of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to control the child.
disease." Professor Zheng told them.
Of course, the 20,000 to 30,000 that Professor Zheng told them was only for those who stayed in their hospital. After I really got sick, I discovered that the money was not money at all, but just running water, flowing out continuously. Many people who could not enter the cabin were in the hospital.
Waiting hopelessly outside the ICU are people who have run out of water and whose financial resources have been depleted.
Qian Qian has leukemia. According to the current medical conditions, there are three ways to treat leukemia: radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy and bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the most traditional and direct treatment methods, and they are also those that have undergone genetic testing and are not qualified.
Patients who use targeted drugs to treat conditions have no choice but to choose.
This treatment method not only makes the patient miserable and makes life worse than death, but it can only delay the patient's life for a few years at most. Yu Wenhao and Cao Fang were reluctant to bear the pain for their daughter and were unwilling to accept it. They did not agree to choose this treatment plan.
Qian Qian was lucky. After genetic testing, she could be treated with targeted drugs. Professor Zheng proposed a treatment plan for her at that time and suggested taking imatinib, a targeted drug produced by Novartis in Switzerland, which specializes in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia.
However, targeted drugs can only alleviate and control superficial symptoms and prolong the patient's life, but cannot cure leukemia.
After controlling Qian Qian's condition, the next thing to consider is bone marrow or stem cell transplantation, which is also the only possible way to cure leukemia.
The first step in bone marrow and stem cell transplantation is matching. At Zhejiang No. 1 Hospital, they first took out a simple "Matching Report". The matching report is divided into high-resolution and low-resolution, also called high-resolution and low-resolution.
Yu Wenhao spent more than 3,000 yuan at his own expense to make a high-end match for Qianqian.
Then Yu Wenhao and Cao Fang also spent more than 3,000 each to make high-quality matches to see if their bone marrow matched Qianqian.
In the HLA typing report, if the allele numbers are the same in all ten groups, that is, if all ten points are consistent, it is called full genetic similarity. If there are more than five points, even if nine points are consistent, it can only be regarded as half genetic similarity.
The test results made Yu Wenhao and Cao Fang very frustrated. They were both half-matched to Qian Qian.
Professor Zheng said to them: "It's not surprising. Generally, the probability of parents and children being half-matched or fully matched is equivalent to winning the jackpot when buying a lottery ticket. I'll give it to you."
The so-called linked bank refers to submitting a matching application to the Chinese Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Database, referred to as the "China Marrow Bank" and the five major umbilical cord blood banks in the country, and searching for suitable matches across the country.
What followed was a long and excruciating wait. After waiting for almost a month, Professor Zheng sent Yu Wenhao a WeChat message, telling him that there was news from the bone marrow bank and that they had found four matching matches for Qian Qian.
"Very good!"
When Yu Wenhao received this WeChat message, he was in a meeting over there in the office building, and Mr. Qu was speaking. Qianqian was saved! Yu Wenhao felt ecstatic, and couldn't help shouting, which shocked everyone in the conference room.
Everyone looked at him blankly, and Mr. Qu also felt puzzled. Yu Wenhao quickly explained to Mr. Qu and others, saying that he had just received a notification from Zhejiang Yi that Qian Qian had found a match.
Mr. Qu and other people in the conference room were very happy for him when they heard the news.
Mr. Qu waved his hand towards Yu Wenhao: "Come on, go and deal with this matter. Why are you still having a meeting here? Come on, come on! It's all nonsense!"
Everyone in the conference room laughed, and Yu Wenhao also laughed. He quickly stood up and walked out of the conference room.
