The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7110

quickly asked, “Mr. Hank, what was the CA199 index three months ago?”

Dr. Johnson replied, “Three months ago, it was 12…”

The private doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “In just three months, that number has skyrocketed. This is happening too fast…”

Dr. Johnson nodded and said, “It is very fast, but it’s not unusual for pancreatic cancer. Some patients progress quickly and may not survive for long. Mr. Hank is not the fastest; he’s probably somewhere in the middle.”

“Oh my god…” the private doctor said nervously. “Should we do a full body scan right away to check the size of the lesion and see if it has spread?”

“Let’s confirm it,” Dr. Johnson said. “You decide if you want to tell Mr. Hank or if I should. Just make sure to explain everything clearly and get his consent. We can arrange for a nurse to give him the contrast agent, and then we can do the whole-body scan.”

“I’ll go and tell him…” the private doctor said quietly. “If you go, I’m worried he won’t be able to handle the news.”

With that, the private doctor hurried back to Hank’s room.

Meanwhile, Hank was lying in bed, chatting with his friends.

When he saw the private doctor return, he smiled and asked, “How’s everything going?”

The private doctor hesitated, unsure of how to break the news. He coughed awkwardly and said, “Mr. Hank… um… there’s something wrong with one of your indicators…”

“Oh?” Hank’s mood brightened, and he sat up in bed, eager to know more. “Which indicator is it? Tell me quickly so I can be happy!”

The private doctor felt incredibly embarrassed. He really struggled to find the right words.

Hank couldn’t figure out what medicine he had taken incorrectly, and he often found himself worrying about health issues.

Thinking about what he had just said regarding the Chinese perspective, he felt a bit embarrassed. “Mr. Hank, I want to apologize. I was too quick to judge the viewpoint you mentioned about the Chinese. Now I see that it makes some sense. There are things that science might not fully explain, perhaps the kind of metaphysics they talk about.”

Hank nodded in agreement. “The world is diverse. We only see a small part of it, and there’s so much we don’t understand.”

He waved his hand, shifting the topic. “Let’s put that aside and talk about business. What issue have you found with me?”

The private doctor replied quickly, “Your CA199 level is a bit too high.”

Hank perked up, asking, “What does that CA199 mean? Does it relate to sexual ability? I haven’t been doing well in that area lately; could this abnormal indicator be connected?”

“Sexual ability?” The private doctor looked confused. “Mr. Hank, this indicator has nothing to do with sexual ability. It’s related to digestive system cancer, and it’s a serious connection!”

Hank was taken aback. “What do you mean? Are you saying my digestive system cancer indicators are abnormal?”

“Yes,” the private doctor said, gathering his courage. “Not only is there an abnormality, but it’s significant.”
