Chapter 6710

Hank asked, “If my pancreas is removed,”

“How long can I live? Five years?”

“Not sure.”

Johnson said, “Pancreatic cancer is currently the most difficult to predict.”

“Not only does it develop rapidly and is highly lethal,”

“But sometimes even after the surgery has been completed,”

“It may suddenly appear in a nearby organ.”

“So it also depends on luck, but one thing is basically certain,”

“No matter how early the pancreatic cancer patient is discovered,”

“The five-year survival rate is less than 10%,”

“And the ten-year survival rate is basically zero.”

At this point, Johnson added, “Let me put it this way,”

“If thyroid cancer is the Italian army during World War II,”

“Then pancreatic cancer is the German army during World War II.”

Hank asked, “Wasn’t Hitler defeated in the end?”

Johnson added, “In this metaphor, the human body can be replaced by Poland.”

“Fcuk!” Hank said, “If Japan can get it, it can also take down Poland!”

“Yeah,” Johnson said,

“It’s just not that fast.”

“The speed at which Hitler attacked Poland is just like the speed at which pancreatic cancer develops.”

“Pancreatic cancer is the Nazi among cancers,”

“The Hitler among cancers.”

Hank murmured, “So even if you remove it as quickly as possible,”

“It will be difficult for me to live for five years…”

Johnson comforted him, “Now is not the time to think about these things.”

“The most urgent task now is to perform the surgery and remove it quickly.”

“The sooner the better!”

“It is best to start the preoperative examination and preparation now,”

“And strive to perform the surgery directly within 48 hours.”

“48 hours?” Hank asked him,

“Why do we have to wait so long?”

Johnson replied, “There are many indicators that need to be tested before the operation.”

“The simplest one is to check the coagulation problem first,”

“And the infectious disease situation must also be checked.”

“Moreover, before the operation begins, the surgeon team must hold a consultation to discuss and formulate an operation plan.”

“Only when everything is confirmed can the operation be performed.”

Hank pondered for a long time and said, “Let’s do this.”

“What tests should you do? If blood needs to be drawn, draw it quickly.”

“Didn’t the film also take it? Let the doctors start studying the operation plan.”

“I have something to do and need to go to China.”

“I will try to come back within 48 hours.”

Johnson thought Hank was still busy with work, so he quickly said,

“Mr. Hank, you are not suitable for work in your current state.”

“You should stay in bed and have a good rest in the hospital!”

“No!” Hank blurted out, “I have to go to China.”

“If everything goes well, I will come back in 48 hours.”

“You don’t have to arrange surgery for me.”

“Just give me another check. Maybe I will have recovered.”

“How is it possible…”

Johnson said mercilessly: “China’s overall medical level is not as good as ours.”

“Their doctors are good in clinical experience.”

“For the same type of operation, our doctors perform dozens of operations a year, while their doctors perform hundreds of operations a year.”

“However, in terms of basic theory and the development of new drugs,”

“We are still stronger.”

“No one in the world can compare to us in this regard.”

Hank waved his hand: “Let’s not talk about this for now.”

“According to what you said, the medical level in the United States is the best in the world,”

“But I only have a 10% chance of living for five years.”

“Five years will pass in a flash.”

“You want me to die so soon, I can’t accept it,”

“I must recover! Completely cured!”

Johnson hurriedly said: “Mr. Hank, complete recovery is impossible!”

“Moreover, if pancreatic cancer is not intervened quickly and effectively,”

“The survival period is basically only half a year!”

Hank said angrily: “I didn’t say no intervention.”

“Don’t you have 48 hours to prepare?”

“Then I will go to China first in these 48 hours.”

“No matter what, I will be back within 48 hours!”
