"...There is a high-density shadow inside the brain. We can't tell what it is yet, but it's very likely a tumor. I suggest you go to a more advanced hospital for further examination..."
Li Kai walked in the hospital corridor as if all his strength had been drained away, with the doctor's words still echoing in his mind.
There is a high suspicion of an intracranial tumor, which has at least developed to the third stage.
In layman's terms, it has reached the late stage.
The reason why it is suspected is that his brain scan image is a little strange. The shadow area is somewhat different from the regular tumor shadow. It is a pure black shadow, as if that area is blocked by something.
Therefore, the doctor did not confirm with 100% certainty that it was a tumor, but only said that it was highly suspected and asked him to go to another hospital for a more comprehensive and detailed examination.
If you are lucky, you might be able to find out that it is some other problem instead of a tumor.
Li Kai felt a chill in his heart at the doctor's obviously comforting words.
Before coming to the hospital, he never thought that he would get this terminal illness.
Since the first half of the year, he has been experiencing dull pain in his brain from time to time, and various visual and auditory hallucinations.
These symptoms are mild at first, occur rarely, only occasionally, and have little impact on life.
But as time went by, the symptoms appeared more and more frequently and lasted longer and longer.
It has now seriously affected his life, so he came to the hospital on purpose, but he didn't expect to be diagnosed with this problem.
Although the doctor told him that even if it was a tumor, brain tumors at this stage were not hopeless to be cured and asked him to maintain a good attitude, he knew that these were just words of comfort from the doctor.
Not to mention the chances of successful cure, even the high cost of treatment was beyond his means.
Just when Li Kai was in despair and unable to extricate himself, a loud noise suddenly drilled into his mind!
Buzz!!
Along with the tingling and dizziness in the brain, countless dense white dots appeared in Li Kai's sight, and everything in front of him became blurred.
This change lasted only a moment.
But when his vision returned to normal, the things in his sight had changed inexplicably -
The hospital corridor, which was only a few steps away from the end, seemed to extend ten times further at this moment. At the end of the long corridor was not a bright hall, but a deep darkness...
"...here we go again."
Li Kai's face changed slightly. This was exactly the hallucination that he had been having frequently during this period.
The end of the dark and deep corridor was like the open mouth of a terrifying monster, emitting an indescribable feeling of oppression that made him feel uncomfortable.
Li Kai, who was no longer surprised by this kind of situation, shook his head vigorously. He felt a slight dizziness and the things in front of his eyes blurred for a moment. The next moment, everything returned to normal.
…
I left the hospital and returned home in a daze.
It was called a home, but in fact it was just his rented house, a small room of about a dozen square meters. There was nothing else except a bed and a table.
After returning to the rented house, Li Kai did nothing but lie on the bed motionless. Even though his cell phone rang several times, he completely ignored it and slowly fell asleep.
I don't know when it was, but a strong feeling of hunger woke Li Kai up from his sleep.
At this time, the whole room was plunged into darkness.
Li Kai didn't want to move at first, but he couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, so he finally got up from the bed.
There was nothing to eat at home, so he took his cell phone, went downstairs and went to a nearby supermarket.
I bought a big bag of instant noodles and a bottle of purified water from the supermarket and took them to the front desk.
Li Kai scanned the payment code on the wall and paid.
He soon received a message from the bank on his mobile phone, which showed that his bank card balance was still 2,888.88 yuan.
These two thousand yuan is exactly all his current wealth.
He is 22 years old and just graduated in the first half of this year. However, due to the poor performance of his chosen major and the poor economic situation in the past two years, he faced the embarrassing situation of being unemployed right after graduation.
I haven't found a suitable job until now.
