Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1298 I Love You for the Rest of My Life 32

Gao Xi is the absolute core of the research institute. After exchanging a few words with Director Liu and Teacher Shen with a smile, she left He Suye here to talk to the two elders while she and Gu Wei went to check Director Liu's examination results.

There was nothing wrong with Director Liu's diagnosis. It was the relatively common stage II breast cancer. There were no other abnormalities, so there would be no problem even with conservative treatment.

But Gu Wei was obviously familiar with Gao Xi's current research project, and he asked right away: "Gao Xi, when will your project reach the stage of clinical trials?"

Gao Xi understood Gu Wei's idea. Even though he was very confident in his research, he had to persuade Gu Wei not to be so radical: "Even if we have found the gene fragment that can make tumor cells commit suicide, we are still a long way from entering the clinical trial stage."

"Auntie's condition is very optimistic. We can adopt a treatment plan that will cause less physical and psychological harm. There is no need to rush."

Gu Wei explained: "I didn't lose my composure because of Auntie's illness. I just think that if the cancer cells and infected tissues can be completely eliminated, it will be the best option."

Gao Xi understood what Gu Wei meant, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Wei's idea. It was just that at present she had only found the "switch" that could make cancer cells "commit suicide", and she didn't have much idea about how to safely deliver this "switch" into the human body and make them safely play the role that everyone wanted.

The conditions for achieving clinical trials are very stringent. Director Liu can certainly wait, but I am afraid that Director Liu and his family members will have unnecessary misunderstandings in the process, which will not be a good thing for both parties.

So Gao Xi changed the subject directly: "Why don't you think about how to explain this matter to Shen Xifan, the follow-up treatment plan and so on. I still hope that Shen Xifan can participate in it."

Gu Wei also understood Gao Xi's concerns, and he also realized that Gao Xi was also advising him not to take all the power of speech on himself, but his relationship with Shen Xifan was already very close, and they even intended to set a date for the wedding recently, so he just nodded to show that he accepted Gao Xi's kindness, and did not express his opinion.

Gao Xi didn't care what Gu Wei would do next, she just had to make sure that Gu Wei understood what she meant. Back in the ward, He Suye was chatting animatedly with the two elders, especially Director Liu. His face, which had been sallow and pale before, now had two blushes due to excitement. He looked much more energetic than when he just came.

Director Liu saw Gao Xi, who was smiling and wearing a white coat, and held He Suye's hand, and couldn't help but sighed: "Alas, before I could only see those handsome men and beautiful women on TV or on the Internet, but now, my son-in-law is good-looking, and his friends are also good-looking. I am so lucky!"

Teacher Shen also smiled and praised his son-in-law Gu Wei: "Yes, yes, it can be seen that the friends of excellent people are also very excellent!"

Teacher Shen had something else hidden in his heart, which was that his precious daughter, who loved an outstanding person, was also an outstanding person.

This time, Gao Xi came here to comfort Director Liu's uneasy heart, "Aunt Liu, look here——"

Gao Xi pointed at the film, and Director Liu looked in the direction Gao Xi knew. She really couldn't understand it, but she unconsciously tried her best to look. Teacher Shen, who was standing next to Director Liu and also stretched his neck, had the same idea.

Gao Xi continued, "To put it simply, the tumor in your left breast is only slightly larger than a common soybean, less than the size of a peanut, and the edges are very clear. It has been confirmed to be a benign tumor, and it only requires a small operation to remove it."

Director Liu completely understood this time and heaved a long sigh of relief. The smile on his face became more genuine, and the previous hidden anxiety and fear were less.

But then she remembered the information she had looked up on the Internet, and couldn't help but grab Gao Xi's hand, and asked with a worried look on her face: "...I heard, oh, I looked up a lot of information on the Internet, and I heard that as long as it is a tumor, there is a survival period-"

Teacher Shen kept nodding his head, as he was also worried about this matter.

Gao Xi didn't say much, and directly said to Director Liu: "Don't worry, Aunt Liu, I believe you have heard that the latest project in my laboratory is aimed at cancer treatment."

Director Liu nodded, and Teacher Shen also nodded. Gao Xi continued, "Cancer cells were also normal cells at the beginning. It's just that normal cells will automatically die after a limited number of divisions, but cancer cells mutate and do not die when they should normally die. They continue to divide indefinitely, causing human diseases."

Director Liu and Teacher Shen both knew this knowledge point. Gao Xi continued, "Our latest research is to restore the apoptosis program of cancer cells that cannot die smoothly due to pathological changes and start the normal death process."

"We are currently making very good progress, so after the operation, just be happy and live your life as before."

Director Liu and Teacher Shen both understood.

In their understanding, the means of cancer treatment are nothing more than surgical resection and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Both of these methods will cause great damage to normal cells and tissues. But according to Gao Xi, the new therapy only targets mutated cancer cells and lets the cancer cells die on their own, so there seems to be no need to worry about metastasis!

Although it is not known how far Gao Xi's condition has progressed, it must be said that these little bits of good news have completely dispelled Director Liu's fear of breast cancer. She even finally has time to seriously consider the impact of this illness on her daughter Shen Xifan.

After Gao Xi and He Suye left, Director Liu held Gu Wei's hand, his face full of relief: "In the past, I was worried about you and our Manager Shen. You are both busy with work, and I am afraid that you will have conflicts after a long time. Now it seems that based on the preferential treatment that Teacher Shen and I received in your hospital today, Manager Shen is probably very tolerant."

Gu Wei followed his future mother-in-law's words and said, "I'm an internist. My workload is usually not as intense as that of surgeons. Besides, I'm closer to you two, so it's convenient for me to take care of Xifan together."

Gu Wei personally helped Director Liu to complete the hospitalization procedures. At noon, everyone ate together in the hospital cafeteria. The food at the Surgical Research Institute was much better than other cafeterias in the hospital, and the surrounding facilities were very complete. After lunch, Director Liu and Teacher Shen walked around the area accompanied by Gu Wei. The old couple even wanted to sell their house and move in.

Of course Gu Wei was very tempted, especially after the tunnel over there was opened in a couple of days, the time from the Fourth Hospital to Gunanhuating would only take 40 minutes at most, including traffic jams.

It’s a pity that Shen Xifan will go abroad to study in half a year, and she may not continue to work in Gunanhuating after she comes back, so Gu Wei can only put this matter aside for the time being.
