Chapter 773: with translation of chapter title
Zheng Ren was thinking, the doorbell rang, Chang Yue went to open the door.
Several people appeared at the door, holding in their hands exquisite bags and a deep blue plastic box filled with water.
"Greeting, we are from Tang Song Restaurant." said a young guy first: "These are the ingredients Mr. Zheng requested, please accept."
Chang Yue looked at the pile of things, stunned.
"Chang Yue, check it, it's what I ordered." Zheng Ren's eyes didn't leave the B-ultrasound report, his brain raced, countless possibilities emerged one by one, being ruled out or pending.
"Su Yun, you go pay the bill."
As for spending money, Su Yun had no concept, lazily got up and walked over.
"Boss, last night I just spent a few minutes skewering, you're really something, even having to call for takeout. Social skills… ah~~ soaring." Saying that, Su Yun let out a yawn, looking half-asleep.
Others didn't know what happened, looking bewildered.
Zheng Ren continued to ponder, ignoring this guy.
Molybdenum target oblique view, the right breast extremely dense, no suspicious findings.
Lab report also normal, including the tumor markers that need to be checked for normal breast cancer, none suspicious.
It's not that a low value can be judged normal; in early tumor, tumor markers can be normal. This is determined by individual physique and the body's own immune response.
Even in late-stage tumor, tumor markers may not be high.
Zheng Ren has also encountered patients with liver tumors over 10 cm, with normal alpha-fetoprotein.
Although not decisive, it can serve as a reference.
Watching Zheng Ren flip through the sheets one by one, Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Jinxi's faces grew increasingly solemn.
If there were nothing wrong, Doctor Zheng should have said something by now.
But he didn't say a word……
Wu Xiaomei still held a sliver of hope, but seeing the silent Zheng Ren, that hope gradually shattered.
After discovering the lump, suspecting malignancy, though still early, Wu Xiaomei firmly refused the company's arrangement and flew straight to Di Du to find Zheng Ren.
She came in such haste that she didn't even tell Chang Yue before boarding the plane.
She, they, upon hearing the news, were already panicked.
Indeed, under twenty years old, struggling out there, perhaps appearing strong. But once faced with life-and-death issues, who can remain calm?
Career? Company shelving? In the face of breast cancer, all are jokes.
Zheng Ren's finger tapping speed on the sofa armrest didn't change at all, as if his emotions had no fluctuation, just silently looking at the two images on the B-ultrasound sheet.
Just like Director Pan tapping that worn-out copy of "Guanzui Pian", this is merely a pattern of thinking behavior.
"Boss, what the hell did you order?" Su Yun paid, helped Chang Yue bring the stuff to the kitchen, without hesitation refused the Tang Song Restaurant chef's offer to stay and help, black-faced and said to Zheng Ren.
"Oh? What Yi Ren wanted seems to be fish and some vegetables, what's wrong?" Zheng Ren was recalling article after article of literature and reviews, plus the various related cases he had encountered before.
He heard Su Yun's words, merely heard them.
His understanding was only the literal meaning, nothing more.
"Over eight thousand! Boss, do you still have a conscience?" Su Yun glared at Zheng Ren fiercely.
"Oh." Zheng Ren's finger suddenly stopped tapping, he raised his head, looked at Wu Xiaomei and said: "Sit, sit, standing like that, I can't talk."
Wu Xiaomei's heart was uneasy; at the instant she heard Zheng Ren speak, two streams of tears pattered down.
"Don't cry, it's nothing." Zheng Ren smiled, his face bruised purple, just entering the absorption phase, looking increasingly strange, like the legendary lamb doctor.
"Just speak up, you're going to scare Wu Xiaomei to death." Su Yun said.
Zheng Ren also felt helpless, speaking with his head raised… the doctor's words basically have no credibility. If he said that, Wu Xiaomei would likely believe him even less.
Chang Yue kept her ears perked; the open kitchen was right behind Zheng Ren, she wiped her hands, hurried out, and helped Wu Xiaomei onto the sofa.
"Did the Modu doctors say they couldn't rule out the possibility of a malignant tumor?" Zheng Ren smiled and said.
Chang Yue hearing Zheng Ren say that, frowned tightly, repeatedly giving Zheng Ren glances.
Zheng Ren still gently smiled, saying: "That's correct."
After saying that, he didn't take a big breath, but directly continued: "But my diagnosis is breast cholesterol granuloma."
"Cholesterol?" Chang Yue exclaimed.
"Granuloma?" Su Yun pondered.
"This disease… or maybe not even a disease, clinical presentation is varied. I looked at the medical record, saying not palpated right breast lump. This is one kind of clinical presentation, whether palpated or not doesn't matter." Zheng Ren's smile gave Wu Xiaomei great confidence.
She stopped crying, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, like dewdrops on tender leaves in the morning.
"All reports are inconsistent; some B-ultrasounds can show lobulation or irregular low echoes. The molybdenum target may or may not show it; both are possible."
Su Yun felt Zheng Ren was talking nonsense.
"But the B-ultrasound restoring signal data, this pure medical matter, I won't elaborate; from the image analysis on the B-ultrasound, the possibility of breast cholesterol granuloma is relatively high."
"What is that?" Wu Xiaomei asked, summoning courage.
"Simply put, it's benign, not even counting as a lesion." Zheng Ren laughed, feeling he'd said too much, too technical.
Zheng Ren's attitude left Wu Xiaomei dazed.
No matter how you say it, something grew; is Doctor Zheng just comforting himself? Why say it's not even a lesion?
The thing is just growing there; if it's not a disease, what is it?
Earlier, the Modu doctors told her the best possibility was an adenoma, benign, no problem.
As for the bad, she didn't need the doctor to say; Wu Xiaomei could guess—malignant tumor, plus possible relentless recurrence after surgery, she'd soon leave this world.
So, in her confusion, wandering, helplessness, she thought of the Inpatient Chief of the Emergency Department at Haicheng City First Hospital.
Wu Xiaomei had a mysterious confidence in Zheng Ren.
Her father was diagnosed with a hernia at the time, which she mistook for cancer, causing a big joke. But according to the villagers' view, this Doctor Zheng had great fortune, turning cancer into a minor ailment.
Wu Xiaomei is very superstitious, so she firmly refused the company's arrangement for overseas medical treatment, and came to Di Du without hesitation.
This is also why I previously invited Zheng Ren and Chang Yue to go see the concert, knowing they had come to Di Du. If it weren't for the charity fundraising concert, they might have just flown straight back to Hai Cheng, and it would have been a wasted trip.
It's just that what Zheng Ren said…… how does it sound unreliable?
