Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

Dear readers, I am taking a day off.

Today my mother had a pancreaticoduodenectomy at West China Hospital. They told her from the beginning that there were risks and gave her two options, one for palliative surgery and one for radical surgery.

Later I asked them to do a few more tests, but they felt that two enhanced tests were enough, and that the tests were difficult to arrange, so they decided to have surgery first, during which everything would be clearly seen.

After opening the abdomen, the result was that the mass was five centimeters in size and involved five centimeters of the portal vein. It could not be removed, so a puncture biopsy was performed.

Then I put it in twice, and the test results showed inflammation!! (I don’t dare to put it in again, for fear of pancreatic fluid leakage.)

Finally, the pancreaticoduodenal surgery turned into a cholecystectomy and cholecystoenteric anastomosis. The doctor said that although the puncture was inflammation, not CA, it looked like it. Although pathology is the gold standard, it does not rule out that they did not puncture the right position.

Now, I'm going to check the immune indicators to see if it's spontaneous pancreatitis. After all, apart from obstructive jaundice, my mother has never had any pain symptoms. If the tumor is five centimeters and invades the veins and arteries so deeply, it should be very painful, but she doesn't feel any pain at all.

I feel mixed emotions right now: distressed, happy, worried...

I hope Huaxi Hospital is worthy of its name, I hope that the first-level expert is worthy of his awesome records, I hope they can wear the medicine accurately and steadily, and I hope my mother really has inflammation!

My heart is in a mess, I need to take a day off!!
