Li Jingsheng held her, facing each other.
"That’s something to talk about after we get married. We’re not husband and wife yet."
She refused again.
"Did you encounter some troubles?" Li Jingsheng swallowed this sentence, ultimately not asking it.
Because he was worried about hurting her self-esteem.
"Alright then, if you need money, you can come to me anytime. If you really don’t want to accept it as a gift, you can treat it as a loan. Borrow as much as you can, and if you can’t pay it back, you can pawn yourself to me as a wife."
Li Jingsheng said in a joking tone.
Hehe!
"You always have such mischievous ideas!" She covered her mouth and giggled continuously.
The time they spent together always seemed to be so joyful, Li Jingsheng could always make her laugh happily.
...
Around eight o’clock, Director Lian Tao sent a message to Li Jingsheng again.
"Through angiography, it shows multiple liver lesions, a mass at the body and tail of the pancreas, with calcification in the middle. It seems my intuition and initial diagnosis were correct, there is indeed a problem with the patient’s pancreas. Just didn’t expect it at the tail, ultrasound couldn’t detect it."
Lian Tao was very excited about successfully identifying the lesion.
Diagnosing this case was indeed very difficult, fasting blood sugar, liver, kidney, pancreas ultrasound, routine checks of blood, stool, and urine were all normal.
Who could tell that there were some lesions in the liver?
Then a mass appeared at the tail of the pancreas.
"I’m afraid the patient’s tumor has metastasized!"
Li Jingsheng replied.
"You’re amazing, you’re right again. Body-tail pancreatic lesions, multiple liver lesions, bone scan shows multiple bone metastases. Currently suspecting a glucagonoma of the pancreas body and tail, a very rare tumor. We in gastroenterology can’t handle it anymore, it’s arranged for emergency transfer to surgery overnight."
At this point, the cause of the illness was completely revealed.
However, the treatment outcome is quite worrisome.
With multiple metastases, the effect of surgical treatment remains a big question mark.
This patient is definitely in the late stage.
"Jingsheng, do you know why neither CT nor ultrasound detected the pancreatic tumor?"
"Enlighten me. If I had to guess, it should be because the tumor’s density is similar to the pancreas."
Li Jingsheng could only think of this result.
This kind of situation is rarely encountered, but he had encountered a case during his time in the pneumology department.
However, that patient had a tumor in the liver.
