Chen Lishu stared at the doctor blankly, looking at his mouth that kept opening and closing, and felt that her heart was so flustered that it was floating and unable to reach its destination.
"To be honest, there are very few successful cases of craniotomy surgery like this in our province."
The doctor talked for a long time, but when he saw no response from her, he couldn't help but stop talking: "Comrade, are you listening to me?"
Chen Lishu came to her senses: "Doctor, what are the chances of success?"
"Probably less than ten percent."
"What will happen if we take conservative treatment without surgery?"
"It's hard to say. After all, the tumor is located in the head, and the patient has been feeling unwell for half a year or a month. It is like a time bomb that may detonate at any time. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Lishu nodded: "You are so troublesome."
When Li Xiulan finished the examination, Chen Lishu came forward with a calm expression on her face: "Mom, how do you feel?"
Li Xiulan shook her head: "Mom is fine."
The little nurse on the side said: "Come here in two days to get the results."
"Thank you." After thanking her, Chen Lishu took Li Xiulan out of the hospital and walked home.
Gu Xingdong just came back from the company not long ago. When he saw them coming back, he asked, "What do you think about going to the hospital to get the results?"
Chen Lishu glanced at Li Xiulan and said truthfully: "The doctor said that there is a tumor in my mother's head. Whether it is benign or malignant, we need to wait for the test results to come out in two days."
Everyone present was stunned.
Gu Xingye didn't react for a long time and murmured: "How could this happen?"
"Don't worry, the doctor said that the tumor is not big, and I don't feel anything." Feeling the low pressure in the house, Li Xiulan waved her hands carelessly, and after saying that, she went upstairs to see her child with a normal expression.
.
At this time, she must not be downcast or even cry, otherwise the children will be even more worried.
This means that now that life is better, you can still take pictures to know what diseases you have. If this was done in the past, it would be just that if people were confused.
She had already thought about it during the previous examination in the hospital. The disease she had was not easy to cure at all. At such an old age, she had seen a lot of life and death, so she had to be able to see things clearly.
The children also have children, and now only Xingping has not yet decided on a life-long event.
But she is promising, she has been admitted to university, and her brothers are looking after her, so there is no doubt that she can't go wrong.
I just feel a bit reluctant to let go of the old man in my family. We have been together for decades. Alas, I really don’t want to let go.
When the results come out, no matter whether they are good or bad, go home. Don't make trouble for the children. Nothing is as good as your own home.
"...The doctor said that the location of the tumor in my mother's head is very special. Even if the surgery is performed, the chance of success is not high, only about 10%."
Because of Li Xiulan's condition, no one used chopsticks during dinner. After returning to the room, Chen Lishu told Gu Xingdong what the doctor said.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, she held his hand on his knee and said warmly: "The doctor only made a judgment based on the medical level in the provincial capital. When the results come out, we will take mom to Kyoto. If it doesn't work,
, just go abroad.”
Craniotomy, even in later generations with advanced medical standards, still carries considerable risks, so it is best to find an authoritative doctor.
Gu Xingdong shook her hand back and tried his best to pull the corners of his lips, but in the end he just showed a wry smile.
"I have never considered setting aside time to spend time with my family and parents before. I always feel that I still have time and can do anything in time."
Gu Xingdong said in a low voice: "I joined the army when I was eighteen years old. It has been so many years. Every time I go home, although they don't say it, I can see the worry in their eyes. I think I am used to it.
Life and death should be faced calmly than others, but as soon as I think that that person is my mother, I..."
Gu Xingdong pursed his lips, and his dark eyes gradually dimmed.
When parents are here, there is still a place to come in life; when parents are gone, there is only a way back in life.
Chen Lishu stepped forward and hugged his shoulders. She knew that any comfort at this time was feeble, and she could only accompany him silently.
On the day Li Xiulan got her results, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong accompanied her. Gu Xingye originally wanted to go too, but Li Xiulan refused.
"I already know the result. Why are there so many people there? Just have your third brother and sister-in-law with you. If your legs and feet are not good, just stay at home."
Gu Xingye had no choice but to give up after hearing her words.
Fortunately, the tumor was benign.
"Based on the current patient's condition, I suggest you make a decision as soon as possible. The earlier the surgery, the lower the risk." After reading the results, the doctor said to the three of them.
Chen Lishu: "Doctor, we are going to Kyoto. I wonder if you can introduce me to which hospital is more authoritative in this regard?"
"I don't plan to have surgery." Li Xiulan, who had been silent before the doctor could speak, suddenly said.
"I have thought a lot in the past two days. Kyoto is too far away. The farthest place my mother has ever been is the provincial capital. If you think about it, it would require an operation on my head. If I don't do it right, I might die there.
It’s outside.”
Gu Xingdong: "Mom, if the operation is successful, we will be healthy in the future."
Li Xiulan sighed: "Mom, at this age, I don't want to bother. Everyone has his own destiny. I want to buy a ticket to go home in two days. I will live as long as I can in the future. I will go back and spend more time with your dad."
Gu Xingdong opened his mouth, but in the end he could only swallow back his words of persuasion.
Li Xiulan has the right to choose what she wants, and he cannot impose his own ideas on her.
But Gu Xingdong definitely couldn't do it just watching his mother give up treatment and then be devoured by the disease bit by bit.
After sending the person home, Gu Xingdong went out and made a phone call to a certain unit of the Kyoto Military Region.
"Hey, it's me, Lao He."
"Why did you remember to call me?"
"I remember you said before that your brother works at Kyoto Hospital, right? He seems to have studied abroad... Well, what, he is a brain specialist?"
After Gu Xingdong listened to what the other party said, his eyes gradually lit up.
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xingdong thought for a while and called home again.
Regarding Li Xiulan's situation, I'm afraid only Gu Shoufu can persuade her. Moreover, this is not a trivial matter, and Gu Shoufu has the right to know.
Gu Shoufu and Gu Xingguo were packing farm tools at home. This year, neither the second nor the fourth family farmed, and they were all contracted by him and the fourth family.
