How terrible is bone cancer treatment? Chainsaws and drills are used to amputate leg bones, remove tumors, and put them back in when they are done.
It's scary to hear, but for some people with bone cancer, it's the only way they can save their lives.
In fact, it is already considered lucky to be able to receive such treatment, and then look at the 11-year-old boy in front of him, it is clear that his life has entered the countdown, but he himself has no idea.
The boy's name is An Tsai, and he was diagnosed with a bone tumor when he was 8 years old, and because it was found too late, he had to amputate his left arm.
Three years later, the cancer cells returned and metastasized to both lungs.
Knowing that the child's time was short, his parents took Andy to the prosthetic factory to fulfill his long-standing wish.
But Andy didn't know about his condition, and thought that after the chemotherapy was over, he could go back to school.
Andy: "Can you carry your schoolbag then?"
Seeing the child's longing for the future, the mother on the side hid and secretly shed tears: "We don't know, he will ...... in the future There are still many days left, and his wish is to give him a little beauty. ”
Although the targeted drug taken by Andy shrank the tumor, it also caused damage to the lungs, because the wound could not heal, and the doctor could only intubate him to expel the excess gas from the lungs.
A few days later, the prosthetic leg that Andy had been thinking about was ready, and he smiled happily when he looked at the photos on his phone.
The Spring Festival of 2018 is coming, and after the chemotherapy is over, Andy also returned to his hometown in Nanning.
The parents knew in their hearts that this should be the last year they spent with Andy.
On 28 February 2018, Aberdeen's lung tumour worsened and he was immediately taken to a local hospital.
At this time, Andy should have realized something, he had a lot of resistance to hospitalization.
He cried and said: "I don't want to repeat a grade, I'm already at the limit, I'm really at the limit, I really can't stay in the hospital, I really want to go out and play." ”
Doctor: ""When you're done, you can go out." ”
The mother on the side burst into tears.
Andy's father couldn't bear to look at it, and quietly came to the ward alone.
Father: "It's no better, he's in such pain." ”
Doctor: "There's nothing else we can do right now. ”
Father: "I know, it's the only way, there's no way, it's not somewhere else, it's the lungs, the respiratory system, the respiratory system is broken, and the life is gone." ”
Andy's condition worsened day by day, and his consciousness began to blur, and a few days later, he was declared brain dead by doctors.
Grieving, Andy's parents made a decision to donate Andy's corneas.
Doctors from the donor hospital soon arrived, and Andy's mother tearfully signed the consent form for organ donation.
"Cai Xuan'an, mom is sorry for you, mom doesn't want to sign this paper, it's actually ......"
"Thank you for his great contribution to saving others and to the cause of organ donation in mainland China. ”
Andy left like this, leaving behind a cornea that gave a 7-year-old boy back sight.
He and his family have been waiting for this moment for 4 years.
Doctor: "Eyes open, what color are these peanuts?" ”
Boy: "Red." ”
Perhaps, this is the best gift that Andy left to the world.
