Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Bianca Was Assailed By Many Thoughts

Wanda did not want Bianca to notice that something was wrong with her. She quickly pinched her nose to stop the blood from flowing while she brought the spatula under the tap to wash away the bloodstains.

Her movements were natural and agile, as though she was used to it.

She thought that it was fortunate that the blood did not drip into the pan and that her back was facing Bianca at the moment.

The scene at the hospital replayed in Wanda's mind.

"Mdm. Rayne, your immune system is getting weaker, and you need to be hospitalized for chemotherapy as soon as possible. If you delay it, you'll only be causing more damage to your body, and the chances of you recovering will be lower." "I don't want chemotherapy, Doctor. Are there any less intrusive methods of treatment? I don't mind taking medication too, as long as I can maintain my basic bodily functions," Wanda asked.

She knew the side effects of chemotherapy. Other than nausea, vomiting, and lethargy, she would also have to lose her head full of beautiful hair and become skeletally thin.

Wanda had been pursuing beauty all her life. She would rather die than see herself become like that.

"Mdm. Rayne, the most effective cancer treatment methods available in the country now are either surgery or chemotherapy. Surgery is the default method, but it is only useful against early-stage cancer, and it would do little to alleviate your late-stage cancer. A combination of surgery and chemotherapy would probably be your best bet, but honestly, I cannot recommend any non-intrusive treatment methods for your current condition," the doctor told Wanda.

"Doctor, is cancer hereditary? My brother died from cancer last year, and I have cancer too. Is it because it's hereditary?" Wanda asked.

"It's hereditary in the sense that certain families would have a higher probability of getting cancer than others, though there are other factors, such as poor living conditions. Generally, the inheritable types of cancers are breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer among others. If someone has an immediate family member suffering from those types of cancer, then the probability of getting the same type of cancer would be higher."

Wanda’s heart wrenched.

She and her brother were immediate family members, and both of them suffered from cancer. Was it hereditary, or was it an unlucky coincidence?

If it was hereditary, what would happen to Bianca?

Bianca was her brother's daughter. Would her chances of getting cancer be higher too?

Wanda looked at her pregnant niece helping her out in the kitchen. She could not help but feel sad for her.

She looked at Bianca and said, "Bea, if you have the time, I'll go with you to the hospital for a full body checkup."

Bianca thought that her aunt was worried about the child in her womb. "I've been going to the hospital for regular checkups, Aunt Wanda. The doctor says that the baby is healthy, and there's no problem with my health too. You don't have to worry."

Wanda exhaled heavily and told her niece the reason why she wanted her to do a full-body checkup. "Bea, the last time I was in the hospital, the doctor told me that the chances of you getting cancer are higher if you have an immediate family member with cancer. Your father died of cancer, and I'm suffering from the same disease. You're my brother's only daughter, and I'm afraid... that..."

She could not finish the sentence.

Bianca did not seem perturbed. "I don't think that'll happen, Aunt Wanda. I think that what happened to you and Dad is only a coincidence. You don't have to worry about it. Moreover, I'm quite familiar with my health. The worst that has happened to me is a fever or a cold.”
