I Can See Health

After several days of consideration, Lu Donghua finally brought his father to Jiangcheng.

During this period, he also visited various hospitals in Binh Duong City.

Almost all doctors said there was nothing wrong and that regular follow-up visits would be enough.

However, Lu Donghua still felt that something was wrong. After all, the possibility of malignancy had not been completely ruled out.

In addition, he still told his father the actual situation.

Because without Lu Chaoming's cooperation, some subsequent examinations and treatments would not be completed.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangcheng University.

Lu Donghua brought his father Lu Chaoming to the outpatient clinic building.

"Dad, we are looking for Professor Fang Rushui from the Department of Respiratory Medicine."

Lu Donghua held a piece of paper in his hand, with Fang Rushui's department address written on it.

"Donghua, are you saying that it was Xiaochen who suggested that I come to Jiangcheng Hospital for further examination?" Lu Chaoming asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Lu Donghua nodded slightly, "The reason why he asked you to go for a physical examination was because he heard about your lung problems."

"Hey, I'm old, even if I have some illness, it doesn't matter." Although Lu Chaoming said this, he was a little worried in his heart.

People, it is true that the older you get, the more you fear death.

Lu Chaoming has been at home these days, sleeping poorly and eating poorly.

This is also one of the reasons that prompted Lu Donghua to come to Jiangcheng.

"Dad, don't worry too much." Lu Donghua said, "They say it's most likely benign. We came to Jiangcheng mainly for peace of mind."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Chaoming nodded.

…

Professor Fang Rushui from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangcheng University is a leading expert in the province.

It is almost the No. 1 hospital in the field of lung tumors in the province.

His clinic number is something that all the scalpers are competing for, and it's hard to get one.

Lu Chen was fortunate enough to study in Professor Fang Rushui's group.

Although Professor Fang Rushui had forgotten about him, Lu Chen still got Professor Fang's number through his classmates at Jiangcheng University.

Respiratory medicine clinic on the fourth floor of the outpatient building.

Lu Chaoming and Lu Donghua waited outside for most of the day, and finally entered the consulting room at 11 o'clock in the morning.

"Professor Fang, we were introduced here by an acquaintance."

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Donghua introduced himself.

Professor Fang Rushui frowned, put on his glasses, and said solemnly: "I don't have any acquaintances or strangers here."

Lu Donghua was slightly startled and looked a little embarrassed. This old professor really has a personality!

"Who is the patient? What disease are you treating?" Fang Rushui raised his eyebrows.

Lu Donghua immediately took out the CT film taken in Pingyang, "Professor Fang, this is my father's CT film. Take a look."

After speaking, the assistant next to Professor Fang took the film and put it aside on the film reader.

Fang Rushui glanced at the CT twice, with a normal expression, and then asked, "Is the patient feeling uncomfortable?"

"I just cough a lot." Lu Chaoming replied.

"Is there phlegm? What color is the phlegm?"

"Do you usually smoke?"

…

Lu Chaoming found that the questions asked by Professor Fang Rushui seemed to be the same as those asked by Lu Chen before.

"Let me listen to your lungs." Professor Fang pulled out the stethoscope.

"Okay, thank you Professor Fang."

Lu Chaoming nodded and took off his coat.

After a while, Professor Fang took off his stethoscope.

"There's something wrong with this position." Fang Rushui pointed to a position on Lu Chaoming's back.

Lu Donghua had no reaction, but Lu Chaoming was stunned. Isn't this the same as what Xiaochen told him?

Sensing Lu Chaoming's abnormality, Lu Donghua quickly said: "Dad, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Lu Chaoming shook his head slightly, "Even Lu Chen told me before and said there is a problem here."

"Really?" Lu Donghua was startled and began to re-examine his nephew.

Fang Rushui on the side also heard the conversation between the two.

"Is there a doctor at home?"

"Well, my brother and his son are both doctors." Lu Donghua said, "But this problem with my dad's lungs was discovered by my nephew. He was an undergraduate in clinical medicine at Jiangcheng University, and this year he went to Beijing to study as a graduate student. "

"Well, that's good. I can hear it during auscultation. Your nephew is doing pretty well." Fang Rushui nodded, then handed Lu Donghua a examination sheet, "Let's make an appointment for a chest enhanced CT scan."

Lu Donghua took the examination form and whispered: "Professor Fang, is it possible that my father's condition is malignant? I'm in our local tertiary hospital, and the doctors say it's benign. Just review it regularly."

Fang Rushui said: "One film cannot definitely diagnose benign or malignant. However, judging from the film you brought, I feel that malignancy cannot be completely ruled out, and further examination is needed. How should I put it... some very The professional thing is this film. The location, size and relationship between the lung nodules and the surrounding tissues indicate the possibility of malignancy. "

"Isn't it okay to review regularly?" Lu Donghua asked.

"No, if it is malignant, it will delay the treatment time." Fang Rushui shook his head, "In the process of tumor treatment, time is very precious. Unless it is some relatively indolent tumors, otherwise it will be delayed by two or three months. When the tumor metastasizes, the treatment effect will be poor.”

Because he was an expert, Fang Rushui was very patient in his explanation.

"Then...what should we do next?" Lu Donghua said.

"Because the location of this pulmonary nodule is relatively deep and difficult to puncture, so we will do a chest CT with contrast first." Fang Rushuidao said, "After the examination, we will wait for the results to come out before making further diagnosis and treatment plans."

"Okay, thank you Professor Fang."

Lu Donghua nodded, took Lu Chaoming and left.

He did not immediately make an appointment for a chest enhanced CT scan, but called Lu Wenguo.

…

Today, Lu Chen had already left Pingyang by train and returned to Jinghua Second Hospital.

As soon as he got off the train, he received a call from his father, Lu Wenguo.

"Xiaochen, your second grandfather went to Wuhan today to see a professor to see a film. The professor suggested a chest CT with contrast enhancement. Your uncle Donghua asked me to ask you for your opinion."

In fact, Lu Wenguo was a little surprised when he received a call from Lu Donghua.

Lu Donghua was hesitant before, mainly because Lu Chen was still just a student.

Why did you take the initiative to call and inquire today?

Lu Chen didn't think so much and said directly: "Okay, it's okay to do chest CT with contrast, but..."

"But what?" Lu Wenguo said quickly.

"If Uncle Donghua agrees, we can do a PET-CT directly." Lu Chen said.

"PET-CT...Okay, I'll tell him." Lu Wenguo said a few words and hung up the phone.

Lu Wenguo is a senior doctor, and of course he knows what PET-CT is. By scanning the whole body, PET-CT can detect the mass at any position, and can show benign and malignant tumors, as well as whether the tumor has metastasized and where on the body it has metastasized.

The only drawback is that it’s expensive!

A PET-CT costs about eight to nine thousand yuan, and it is not reimbursed by medical insurance.

Ordinary families really can't afford it. UU reading www.uukanｓhu. net

The reason why Lu Chen recommended Lu Chaoming to do PET-CT was because he was afraid that if it was lung cancer, it might have metastasized!

If there is no metastasis, surgery can be performed.

But once the tumor metastasizes, it means it is in an advanced stage and there is basically no value for surgery.

Although PET-CT is expensive, it can be done in one step, saving many intermediate steps.

Lu Wenguo told Lu Donghua exactly what Lu Chen said.

What happens next is not something Lu Chen can worry about...

…

It wasn't until the third day after Lu Chen returned to Beijing that news came back from Jiangcheng.

Lu Chaoming was diagnosed!

PET-CT results showed lung cancer!
