Dad diagnosed terminal cancer on the forty-ninth day

author:Under the breath

Today is the 49th day of Dad's diagnosis of advanced liver cancer...

Dad was hospitalized again, nearly half a month, and in recent days he was in better shape and could eat some food. I also began to want to eat, did not want to vomit, and did not feel that my heart was blocked. But the doctor could not diagnose what the specific cause of his symptom was, and only said a few possible situations. Most of the treatment drugs have been stopped, and there are some stomach medicines for hanging nutrient solutions every day.

Dad: Did I think about it?

I:... (Some speechless)

Dad: I think I want to eat recently, and my heart is not uncomfortable.

Me: That's good, it means that there is improvement, so what do you want to eat?

Dad: I kind of want to eat meat.

We looked at each other and smiled.

I was a little bitter. Although the hospitalization was to make him more comfortable and able to eat some food, his overall physical condition was getting worse and worse.

I remember the last time my father was discharged from the hospital and came home for the first few days, although he already knew the result, it was still difficult to accept psychologically. He didn't want to meet people, he didn't want to talk, especially acquaintances, and he didn't want others to know. Those who wanted to visit him, he also saw only his uncles and aunts. We also had the appropriate concealment of the seriousness of his condition.

When I came back, my sister and I were always unwilling. My sister had a friend's relative in the oncology department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and sent a report to read. He also said that the best results can be extended for a year and a half, but he also said that now that science and technology are so developed, maybe there will be a new treatment plan, and it will be a chance to save your life first!
