Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717

Olivia’s test results came out quickly, and it was indeed Stage Four cancer. The worst thing was that it had already spread to her head. There was an early-stage malignant tumor in her head.

After a consultation gathering of various oncology experts, the consensus was similar to Keith’s opinion. They also advised against treatment.

Ethan’s gaze was cold. “You haven’t even given it a shot. Why would you just give up?”

The head of the hospital wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “Mr. Miller, cancer is unlike any other illness. If it had been discovered earlier, we could just remove it surgically.

“But Mrs. Miller is already in the terminal stage. You saw how extensive the tumor was. It doesn’t meet the requirement for surgical removal. We’ve also discovered a tumor in her head, where there’s a lot of

cranial nerves, so surgery is also ill-advised.”

The head of the hospital noticed Ethan’s expression growing colder. He quickly added, “There is also the option of conservative treatment. We can start Mrs. Miller on a round of chemotherapy. But… the side effects are serious. If Mrs. Miller is frail, the chemotherapy would only work against her.

“There are quite a lot of patients that don’t die from the cancer, but instead, they die from the side effects

of chemotherapy.

“Normally, when a patient reaches the terminal stage, their mental and physical state would be terrible. Chemotherapy would be torture to them. The effects aren’t that positive either. We would usually advise the family members to stop the treatment.”

Ethan clasped his hands together and propped his chin up. There was a gravity never before seen in his

eyes.

No matter what decision he made, it would put Olivia through a lot of pain. But he wasn’t ready to just

watch as Olivia left him.

He remained silent for a few minutes. Then, he raised his head, with the decision already made.” Schedule her for chemotherapy as soon as possible.”

It was an expected outcome. Anyone would try every way possible to stop their loved ones from dying.

For those patients who were sent to the ICU, their families knew the costs would be high. They also knew the treatment wouldn’t necessarily save the patient and might even cause them more suffering before they passed. But the family members could never watch the patients die without at least trying every

option available.
