“Great!”The private doctor said offhandedly, “You don’t know that Mr Hank waited all night for an abnormality!”
Dr Johnson was dumbfounded, “What do you mean wait for an abnormality and wait all night? Is Mr Hank expecting an abnormality in his body?”
The personal physician chuckled, “You’re really right, Mr Hank is just wanting that little bit of abnormality in his body right now, always having nothing abnormal seems to make him a lot more anxious instead.”
“God damn……” Dr Johnson pushed up his glasses and said awkwardly, “But Dr Hanko wouldn’t be looking forward to his ca199 indicator being abnormal, would he?”
The expression on the private doctor’s face, who had been smiling just moments ago, froze momentarily.
Only after a moment did he come back to his senses and blurted out, “What did you say about abnormal ca199 indicators, are you teasing me?”
As Hank’s personal doctor, he knew all kinds of important body indicators like the back of his hand, CA199 is a kind of sugar antigen, also commonly known as a tumour marker, tumour markers are divided into many kinds, and different tumour markers tend to correspond to tumour problems in different parts of the body.
For the most part, if a person’s body is free of cancer cells, all tumour markers must be within normal values.
Once the tumour markers are abnormal, then there is a high probability that the patient can be judged to have cancer.
Of course, it is not 100% certain that a person has cancer if the tumour markers are abnormal, but the probability is very high.
Especially this ca199, it is related to pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer and other digestive system cancers, and is extremely sensitive.
Once this indicator is abnormal, there is a high probability of digestive system cancer.
So he hurriedly asked, “What is Mr Hank’s CA199 index this time?”
Dr Johnson hesitated for a moment before speaking, “628……”
“Holy sh*t what did you say?!”
The private doctor only felt a wave of dizziness in his brain, the limit of the normal value of CA199 is 37, exceeding this value means there is a problem, and the greater the percentage above this value, the higher the probability of a problem.
Hank s CA199 index shot up to 628 at once, and in his experience, this is basically the nail in the coffin of pancreatic cancer.
So he hurriedly asked, “Mr Hank, what was the CA199 index three months ago?”
Dr Johnson said, “Three months ago it was 12 ……”
The private doctor wiped his cold sweat, “It’s only just been three months and it’s skyrocketed dozens of times, that’s too fast ……”
Johnson nodded, “It’s really fast, but it’s not really an exaggeration for pancreatic cancer, some patients develop it so fast that in a few months the person is already gone, looking at it that way, Mr Hank isn’t the fastest growing of the bunch, at most it’s just middle of the road.”
“Holy f*ck ……” the private doctor asked nervously, “Is it a good idea to hurry up and do a full body scan to confirm the size of the lesion and whether it has spread?”
“Affirmative.”Dr Johnson said, “Do you think you should tell Mr Hank, or should I go and tell him, make it clear to him that after obtaining his consent, we’ll immediately arrange for the nurse to inject him with the contrast agent, and immediately after that we can arrange for a full body scan.”
“I’ll go and tell …… him,” murmured the private doctor, “If you go, I’m afraid he won’t be able to suffer this blow.”
After saying that, the private doctor hurried back to Hank’s ward.
At this time, Hank, was lying in the group, bullsh*tting with those brothers.
Seeing the private doctor return, he smiled and asked, “How is the situation? “
The private doctor didn’t know how to tell him yet for a while, so he coughed awkwardly, “Mr Hank …… that …… one of your indicators has a little problem……”
“Ouch?”Hank instantly cheered up, getting up from the bed in one go and asked with a smile, “Which indicator has a problem? Quickly say it to make me happy!”
