"Gastric cancer in the middle stage." After an electronic gastroscopy operation, the doctor diagnosed the cause.
I stared blankly at the doctor, unable to react for a moment. It took me a while to recover my voice, and I asked, "Stomach cancer?...Could it be a misdiagnosis?" I didn't realize how impolite it is to suspect a misdiagnosis in front of a doctor.
Fortunately, the doctor was not angry, just looked up at me, and further explained: "The patient vomited blood, which was caused by the rupture of small pulmonary blood vessels after the cancer cells spread. This is one of the most obvious symptoms of gastric cancer in the middle and late stages."
I listened in a daze, and after hearing the word diffusion, I hurriedly asked: "Then treat..."
"The preliminary diagnosis is that the cancer cells have not spread very seriously. Surgery is recommended."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still hope for the operation. Swallowing, I looked at the doctor and asked cautiously, "How much is the surgery fee?"
The doctor was writing the medical report, and replied without raising his head: "The operation fee plus the cost of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, depending on your medication, is about 50,000 to 100,000 during the hospital period. Afterwards, it needs to be determined according to the patient's post-operative condition. If we continue to receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, plus the cost of the medicine..." At this point, the doctor looked up and gave me a sorry look, "I can't give you an exact figure."
My mind went blank.
50,000 to 100,000, not including the later treatment costs.
The problem is that all my current deposits add up to less than 40,000, and I can't even pay the most conservative expenses.
The doctor looked at me in a dilemma, frowned again and said: "Your family members should make a decision as soon as possible. The sooner the operation is done, the better for the patient. Don't delay."
"I see, thank you doctor."
When I got back to the ward, my mother had already fallen asleep on a drip. Seeing me coming back, Aunt Li hurriedly greeted me: "What's the matter? What did the doctor say?"
"Stomach cancer." I knew that I couldn't hide this from Aunt Li, and I needed her help in many things in the future.
"How come..." Aunt Li's eyes instantly turned red. People of their age, when they hear about cancer, probably feel hopeless.
"It's okay. The doctor said that the operation is still possible. If the operation is successful, it will be fine." I forced a smile and comforted me softly.
"It will cost a lot of money..." Aunt Li turned her head and asked worriedly.
"I will find a way. Aunt Li, go back and rest first." After a whole night of tossing, Aunt Li is getting old, so I am a little worried.
"Okay. I'll go back and pack some clothes for Axiu. I'm afraid this hospital will last for a long time." Aunt Li sighed, gave me a few more words, and then left the ward.
I sat down slowly by the bed, looked at my mother's sleeping face, looked at her tightly frowning brows, and thought of the picture of her clutching her stomach and shrinking to the ground, my heart suddenly ached. I stretched out my hand to straighten the hair that fell to her cheeks, and I secretly made up my mind that no matter what method I use, I must raise the operation fee.
At noon, Aunt Li came to the hospital with her clothes and made some porridge for my mother. It happened that my mother also woke up at this time. She woke up and saw that she was in the hospital. She was terrified, holding me tightly, and looked like she was about to cry. I held her hand and patiently explained to her that she was sick and needed to be treated in the hospital so that her stomach wouldn't hurt. Aunt Li also quickly poured out the porridge while it was hot, trying to feed her. My mother frowned and turned her head away.
I took the bowl from Aunt Li, took a spoon to scoop up some porridge, blew it, fed some, and said softly, "Mom, can you eat a little? Let's just eat a little..."
She looked at me hesitantly, and finally opened her mouth to swallow the porridge.
I saw the complete trust and dependence in her eyes looking at me, her nose suddenly became sour, and I hurriedly turned my head and coughed in a concealed manner, holding back my tears.
After asking Aunt Li to take care of my mother, I rushed to the supermarket in the afternoon to find the manager, explained my situation, and asked if I could advance my salary. The manager shook his head and rejected me, "Xiao Mu, I know it's not easy for you. But our supermarket has never had such a rule... Think about it, if I promise you, everyone will come to me for salary advances in the future, what should I do? ?”
I was disappointed, but I could understand the manager's embarrassment.
I asked the manager for a day off, and I walked out of the supermarket.
On the street, looking at the crowds of people coming and going, I was suddenly at a loss, where should I go to raise money next
The restaurant job has already been resigned, things were stolen, and the numbers of colleagues and customers in the mobile phone are also lost, and I don't have a friend who can help at this time.
Think of ways to get money quickly in your mind.
selling blood
I can't come up with 50,000 yuan after draining all the blood from my body.
prostitution
I smiled wryly in my heart, let alone my ordinary appearance and body, I couldn’t sell it at all, even if someone really wanted it, how much would someone like me be worth
A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, I stood there and hesitated for a while, and finally found an Internet cafe nearby, and sat down in a remote place in the corner.
Turned on the computer, stretched out his hand, hesitated for a while, finally took a breath, and typed the word "selling kidney" in the search bar.
Press Enter, and many related web pages appear in front of you in an instant. Some are news about the police cracking the case, and some are inquiries from consultants like me, but there is a lot of opposition below: [This is illegal in our country.]
[Losing a kidney will greatly affect your body, and you may regret it for the rest of your life.][Please consider carefully.]
The cold words fell into my heart one by one, and I almost wanted to close the webpage immediately, get up and leave. But some images flashed in my mind: the way my mother lowered her head to peel the eggs for me, the way she handed me the yellow cloth bag, the way she sat by the trash can and waited for me...
In the end, she covered her stomach and curled up on the ground.
I turned off those webpages that were full of dissuading voices with a blank face, and continued to search for the information I wanted in various websites. Finally, I found a few numbers. I took out my mobile phone and wrote down these numbers, cleared my browsing history, turned off my computer and left the Internet cafe.
I found an empty place in a nearby park, took out my mobile phone and started dialing those numbers. The first two were notified that they had been shut down. When it came to the third one, the phone rang for a long time, and finally someone connected.
"Hello." There was a reply and then there was no sound.
"Hello, I want to sell my kidney."
…
After talking for almost an hour, the other party was very vigilant, doubted my identity all the time, asked me a lot of questions, and then agreed to match me up. After hanging up the phone, I sat in the gazebo in the park and waited for a call back. Looking at the lush and lush trees in front of me, and the people with smiles on their faces passing by occasionally, my heart was at a loss.
Only half an hour later, the other party returned the call, probably because I was young and had repeatedly assured that I had no medical history. Soon someone asked me to send the whole body examination report. If there is no problem, they are willing to pay 100,000 yuan for my kidney. .
"100,000? Can it be higher?"
"Oh boy, 100,000 yuan is already very high. It is very risky for us to do this. If you were not young, you would not have been able to get this money! Speaking of which, there are very few young kidney sellers like you..." Over there Barbara spoke up.
I clenched the phone tightly and smiled wryly in my heart. If it weren't for being desperate, who would be willing to sell their organs.
[Maybe you will regret it forever]
The sentence I saw on the Internet suddenly jumped into my mind.
forever...
It doesn't matter, I trade my health for my mother's life.
worth.
