Hank was already scared at this time. He immediately received an injection of contrast agent and was pushed into the hospital's full-scan CT room.

The huge machine was running wildly around him, and the huge vibration, roar, and alarm doubled his inner panic.

In the past, this advanced medical equipment was the power of technology and money for him, and it was also a kind of peace of mind.

But now, this equipment makes him extremely flustered and terrified.

Since this scan requires scanning a person from head to toe in a circle twice, it lasts for a long time, which is even more torturous for him.

Just when he felt that he was about to suffocate, the machine finally stopped running and pushed him out of the huge ring.

The lead door that isolates radiation slowly opened, and the private doctor and several nurses quickly moved him to the mobile bed and sent him back to the ward.

On the way, Hank couldn't help but ask, "What are the results of the scan?"

The private doctor answered him, "Mr. Hank, don't worry. The amount of data from the full scan is quite large, and we have to wait for the computer to merge and analyze it. You should go back to the ward and wait. I have already communicated with the attending doctor, Dr. Johnson, and he will come to inform you in person as soon as there is a result. I won't waste time passing on messages in between."

"Okay..." Hank nodded slightly, his inner uneasiness becoming more and more serious.

In the ward, Hank waited in bed for half an hour in despair. The attending doctor pushed the door open and came directly to Hank's bed. He explained solemnly: "Mr. Hank, we analyzed your plain scan results and found that your pancreas position was indeed obviously abnormal under the contrast agent. We called a number of experts to look at the film and agreed that it should be pancreatic cancer."

Hank asked hurriedly: "Can it be confirmed through the film?"

Johnson nodded and said: "The film, plus the abnormality of CA199 index, can basically confirm it. Of course, the final confirmation still requires pathological results, and pathology is above all else."

Hank asked again: "Then what should I do next? What is the current extent of my pancreatic cancer?"

Johnson said: "At present, we have preliminarily determined that it is still an early stage of pancreatic cancer. After all, the last examination was normal. From the plain scan results, no lymph node and distant metastasis have been found."

"That's great!" Hank breathed a sigh of relief.

The cure rate of early cancer is much higher, and he is very clear about this.

Johnson was not optimistic at this time. He said solemnly, "Mr. Hank, pancreatic cancer itself has a very poor prognosis. Even in the early stages, we performed a total pancreatectomy, and the five-year survival rate is the worst among all cancers."

Hank asked nervously, "The worst? Not even in the first place?"

Johnson said, "Comprehensively, it's not, it's the worst."

Hank asked, "Then will my surgery be effective?"

Johnson replied, "From our current perspective, we are not optimistic, because it progresses too fast. In three months, the indicators have doubled, which proves that cancer cells are growing at a very fast rate and are coming on aggressively. The more such cancers are, the worse the prognosis will be."

Hank wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and asked him, "Then what is the treatment plan you have for me now?"

Johnson said, "I came here to discuss the surgery with you. The plan we are thinking of now is to intervene as soon as possible and perform the surgery to remove the pancreas."

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, he 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!"
