Chapter 1494 Special Therapy
With that said, Dr. Herbert put down his coffee and directly answered the phone on the table.
Ling Hong, who was far away on the other side of the world, breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his voice and said directly: "Hello, I'm Gena. I made an appointment for a consultation on pancreatic cancer a week ago."
"Yes, I know, I remember, hello, I'm Dr. Herbert." Herbert nodded.
When Ling Hong heard Herbert's voice, the tension in his heart receded slightly. In fact, it was not Ling Hong's fault.
Herbert is really too famous, and his research on pancreatic cancer is also world-famous, so it is very difficult to invite him.
"It's like this. I have a female friend who had pancreatic cancer. When she was discovered, it was already in the advanced stage. The checkup at that time said she still had about two months to go." Ling Hong's English is very fluent.
Both the pronunciation and the wording were very American, and Herbert could understand it very well, but Ling Hong still tried to explain Ruan Xiaoqing's situation as briefly as possible.
"I'm sorry, please go on," said Herbert.
"Okay, but although we can't be sure it has been more than two months since her examination, it must have been more than two months." Ling Hong took a deep breath and then said.
"That means the treatment is well under control, and you should feel lucky." Herbert said.
"Yes, yes, I'm very lucky, but I didn't actually see her actively cooperating with the treatment." There was a vague helplessness in Ling Hong's voice.
"That's not good," said Herbert.
"It's like this. Her current symptoms include back and abdominal pain and weight loss, but she has no symptoms of jaundice. I have not seen symptoms such as vomiting, constipation or melena." Ling Hong kept talking about what he had observed. Ruan Xiaoqing’s symptoms.
"But she is in good spirits and looks optimistic." Ling Hong continued.
"Okay, you know we don't have much time. Why don't you send me a fax or email about your friend's case? I think this will help me understand the condition faster, don't you think so?" Herbert suggested sincerely.
"After all, pancreatic cancer is divided into many types, and what you need to know about different types is also different." Herbert said.
Ling Hong listened to Herbert's serious suggestions, but looked down at the files on the desktop and remained silent for a few seconds without speaking.
Even if this half hour costs a lot of favors,
It can be said that every minute and every second is precious, but Ling Hong still said nothing.
After a while, until Herbert on the other end of the phone frowned, Ling Hong spoke again: "I'm really sorry, I don't have her case, and I don't think I can get it for the time being."
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you." Herbert frowned even more, but he still said directly.
"No, Dr. Herbert, you can do it." Ling Hong said with certainty.
"Hey, young man, I have some research on pancreatic cancer, but I am not God. I can't diagnose you out of thin air." Herbert couldn't help but said with a smile.
"I know, Dr. Herbert, I came for consultation today because I want to know whether late-stage pancreatic cancer can be cured." Ling Hong asked in a low voice.
But before Herbert on the other end of the phone could answer, Ling Hong spoke again: "I'm referring to situations like hers."
"Hey young man, you know I don't have any cases, and I don't know whether your friend had surgery, or whether your friend's pancreatic cancer has metastasized, or even what kind of pancreatic cancer your friend has. , so I don't know." Herbert rarely said a long and fast sentence.
"Furthermore, from your tone, you have done some research on pancreatic cancer, so you should know that if the true late stage of pancreatic cancer is not treated, it can last up to three months. This is based on good physical condition." Herb Te continued.
Ling Hong didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Herbert's tone at all, and explained seriously: "It is said that observation shows that she should have cancer in the tail of the pancreas. She has not undergone surgical removal. The metastasis is unknown, but it may be compressing The celiac nerve is affected, causing back pain.”
Herbert, who was listening on the other end of the phone, couldn't help but roll his eyes. After all, Ling Hong's request sounded like he was being asked to diagnose from a distance, which he couldn't do.
"That's it, Genna. I suggest you either send me your friend's recent medical history, or bring her to my hospital for a comprehensive examination. Otherwise, I won't be able to give you the answer you want." Herbert emphasized again.
"Yes, Dr. Herbert, I understand everything you said. The last question." Ling Hong responded repeatedly, and then continued to ask questions.
"Okay, you have ten minutes left." Herbert glanced at the time and reminded.
Herbert's reminder clearly told Ling Hong that he only had ten minutes to ask questions.
"She has a good appetite and can eat about two-thirds of the food of an ordinary person. If she maintains this amount of food and has enough nutrition, will she be able to maintain a longer life?" Ling Hong said.
"What kind of appetite do you mean for ordinary people?" Herbert asked curiously.
You must know that the so-called pancreas is actually the second largest digestive gland in the human body, and the functions of the pancreas include exocrine and endocrine functions.
The tissue of the pancreas can produce pancreatic juice, which is an exocrine function; the islet cells in the pancreas can produce insulin, glucagon and other substances, which is an endocrine function.
And the pancreas is located behind the stomach, at the high point of the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebrae, horizontally attached to the posterior abdominal wall.
Therefore, if there is a problem with such an organ, it will definitely cause digestive system disorders. Therefore, weight loss and difficulty eating can be said to be the basic symptom of pancreatic cancer.
The human animal is also very strange. No matter what the disease is, you can still survive for a while if you can eat, but once you are unable to eat, you are not far away from God's call.
Therefore, Herbert had doubts about Ling Hong's two-thirds of the food intake of ordinary people.
"It's just a healthy amount of food for ordinary people." Ling Hong affirmed.
"This is very strange. With your superficial understanding, you should understand that no matter what kind of pancreatic cancer, food is difficult to swallow. I would like to ask if you have any special adjuvant therapy?" Herbert was very interested. asked.
What he said about shallow understanding was not sarcastic, because most people without professional education would call it superficial, but it sounded offensive.
Eating is a big problem, and getting patients with pancreatic cancer to eat is even more difficult.
Ling Hong was silent again after hearing this question. He remembered that when Yuan Zhou went to the Asia-Pacific Exchange Conference and he took Ruan Xiaoqing out to eat, Ruan Xiaoqing looked like he couldn't swallow it.
To be honest, even though Ruan Xiaoqing tried very hard to eat, he still only ate one-fifth of the usual amount. It can be said that he only tasted it.
"There is no special treatment, because it is delicious." Ling Hong thought about Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship and replied in a positive tone.
"Huh?" Herbert looked confused.
