Answer the call sign

As soon as I arrived at the store in the morning, I received a call from a landline in Guangzhou. I wonder if I'm a liar. There is a line on the screen of my mobile phone: Cancer Hospital affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University calls you, please feel free to answer it.

On the other end of the phone, a gentle female voice asked me: Is it xxx's family?

After I answered yes, she asked my husband how his body is recovering now. Did you check on time?

I said, it's ok, as long as the doctor asks him to stay in this state when he goes for a reexamination.

She asked again: Does he usually smoke?

My honest answer: no.

As if sensing something in her words, I asked: Is there anything wrong with reviewing the report?

She immediately comforted me and said, no, you don't have to worry. A normal return visit. Wish your husband good health.

I thanked her and said goodbye, so I was relieved.

Once again, I feel the thoughtful and meticulous service of the hospital, and my heart is very warm. Tell my husband about it and tell him to take care of himself.

Husband said that this is a normal hospital return visit, and someone is in charge of this work. They want to count the survival rate after operation and other data. ...

Anyway, after six years, sometimes I forget that there is another patient after tumor surgery at home, but someone will still come to greet me, and I am grateful for whatever purpose.

Some memories flashed through my mind, and I thought of the patients in the same ward. I wonder if he is still alive. At that time, his condition was very poor, and cancer cells had metastasized to lymph nodes. He was receiving his first chemotherapy when we left the hospital.

After so many years, although my eyes stayed on the phone number in the address book several times, I was afraid to call my sister, who was also the wife of the patient, for fear of hearing her voice of loss and pain.

Generally speaking, we are lucky to live a dull and happy life, so when we receive a phone call, we will feel warm.

However, there are still some postoperative patients who may not have time to wait for the second or third review and leave this world. Their relatives must be very sad to receive such a return call.

How lucky it is to get it back. It makes us know how to cherish everything we have, and makes us grateful to the doctors, relatives and friends who helped us at that time, and to life.

Although I have suffered, as long as there is hope in my heart, the future is still foreseeable and life is still worth living.
