Xia Dandan’s 27-year-old life (3)

? (3)

The good times did not last long. Just as the two were immersed in sweetness, they scheduled a time for wedding photos and prepared to hold a simple wedding. Suddenly one day, Dandan suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. She went to the hospital first for an emergency. When the cause could not be determined, she made another appointment for various examinations. After many twists and turns, early-stage ovarian cancer was detected.

The two young people were overwhelmed by the sudden bad news. Dandan contacted her parents to tell her situation. When my parents found out, they were very worried. I had to put aside my prejudices and quickly begged my daughter to return to China for treatment. After returning to China, after a series of examinations, biopsy, enhanced CT, and blood tests, it was determined that it was early stage and ovarian cancer had invaded one side. Treatment requires only one surgical removal of one ovary, which does not affect fertility and quality of life. At this time, everyone dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Apart from being heartbroken, they also had to be grateful that it was discovered early and it was not irreversible. But under this shock, Dandan's mother seemed to have aged several years. Wrinkles appeared on her face, which had been well maintained and had smooth and fair skin. Dandan felt extremely guilty. Her mother was also distressed that her daughter had suffered such a big change, and was very dissatisfied with Aoki, but she didn't say anything more, she just wanted her daughter to be safe and happy.

After the surgical treatment, I rested for a month and recovered well, but I was exhausted from recuperating at home. In order to let Dandan relax, Aoki arranged to travel abroad. The family members did not stop him and were relieved to see that Dandan was in good health. After the two of them returned from playing, Dandan felt some pain in his abdomen for some reason, and then the pain in his body continued to worsen. Before I had time to wait for a check-up, my condition deteriorated rapidly. Dandan was no longer able to walk, and was quickly losing weight. His whole body was like a withered flower, drained of water. Aoki was panicked and frightened, and was at a loss as to what to do. Dandan's parents were suffering deeply at the moment, but they had to cheer up. It was very difficult to get a call for a cancer expert. The two elders tried every means to find the doctor who performed the first surgery. After the doctor made a diagnosis, he told them to give up immediately. Dandan could survive for a week at most. Surgery is no longer necessary, and there is an 80% chance that he will not be able to get off the operating table.

The second elder couldn't believe the conclusion given by the doctor in front of him. His daughter was only in the early stage and was traveling well a month ago. How could she develop such a result in such a short period of time. The doctor also expressed his helplessness and felt sorry for such a young girl. The two elders were grieving so much that they begged the doctor for an operation. They wanted to seek the last hope. Even if they couldn't get off the operating table, it would be better than waiting to die. However, doctors assessed that the risk was too high and surgery was no longer necessary. Dandan's mother knelt in front of the doctor, begging and hoping to make a last-ditch effort. Finally, the doctor was moved by the mother's persistence and introduced them to the best surgeon in the hospital, his teacher.

The old professor’s diagnosis was also the same. He was very likely to die on the operating table. The condition was menacing and deteriorating so rapidly. The results of Pat's CT scan also showed that there were metastatic lesions in the liver and multiple organs. The patient's body was thin, but his belly was bulging and full of ascites. The doctor solemnly told them to be mentally prepared. Dandan's mother was resolute and willing to beg the doctor. Even if we couldn't get off the operating table, we would still make a last-ditch effort.

In the end, Dandan’s surgery was successful and she lived up to expectations. However, the area removed during this operation was large, and cancer invaded the uterus, ovaries, and areas near the liver. In order to save her daughter's life, Dandan's mother reluctantly agreed to the doctor's surgical plan to completely remove the lesions. As a mother, the only thing she expected was her daughter. able to survive.

Surgery is only one of the treatments, followed closely by chemotherapy. During this period, after Aoki's family learned about Dandan's situation, they firmly opposed their marriage and urged their son to go abroad as soon as possible so as not to delay work. Dandan's mother had a resolute attitude. No matter what, her daughter's life was more important. She never paid attention to their attitude. She just felt sad that her daughter had chosen such an irresponsible person regardless of her own safety.

Aoki’s attitude was unclear, and he forced a smile during this period. At this moment, in his heart, perhaps Dandan was no longer the image he loved so much in his memory. The haggard and haggard woman was so unfamiliar that it frightened him. Aoki is too young to face the appearance of the once beautiful and gentle woman now. When Dandan was undergoing her second round of chemotherapy, she quietly left and went abroad again without leaving a single word.

At that time, Dandan was fighting a life-and-death battle with the disease and had no time to grieve for the disappearance of her lover. When she came back to her senses, she saw her mother's red eyes, her skin that had aged instantly, and her hair that had begun to turn gray. No matter how heartbroken she was, she could not shed another tear to sting her mother. The family seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned the missing Aoki.

Just because Dandan is not mentioned does not mean that it is not painful. Ten years of emotions have been wasted. The disappearing Aoki seemed like a dream. When she woke up, it had already occupied half of her life. The love that she once risked her life for had become a joke, leaving only endless pain and suffering.

The most unexpected thing is that Ning Hao heard the news of Dandan's illness somewhere and rushed to her side with a warm smile, just like before marriage, accompanying and taking care of her every day, no matter what Dandan couldn't drive her away no matter how hard she tried. Dandan didn't want to implicate him. Her decisive decision to give up on Ning Hao had hurt him greatly. She was no longer qualified to ask for his warmth. No one can tell the length of time he has, so why make him suffer any more. But no matter how Dandan and Dandan's parents tried to persuade him, Ning Hao remained indifferent and arrived on time every day after get off work. Such gentle treatment also gave Dandan and her parents a little comfort in their hearts.

Dandan smiled and said, last week he looked at me seriously and said, "Let's remarry! I can take care of you for the rest of my life." I was very touched, but my reason told me that I couldn't treat him so selfishly. He deserved a better woman. But now I have nothing.

I sighed deeply and couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. My heart ached for Dandan. For Aoki, I can't understand that if I have to leave, at least it can't be now, even if it takes more time, so that she can take a breath and have more love and encouragement while fighting the disease. Dandan gave up too much for him, and even though she loved him so deeply, she couldn't get her sincerity back. He also lamented that a man like Ning Hao has deep love. It would be great if he and Dandan met earlier. At least Dandan would not have to endure the fact of being abandoned by the person he loved after experiencing severe physical trauma. .

Until I left the hospital and returned home, I still couldn’t calm down for a long time. Sometimes we think that love must be vigorous, desperate, and defended with all our strength, but we overestimate human nature, and what we may get in the end is just an empty dream. It's better to be as plain and warm as Ning Hao, like the warm sun, not hot but able to warm people's hearts.
