Answer the call sign

In the morning, when I first arrived at the store, I received a landline call from 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 answer it at any time.

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 health was recovering now. Did you check on time?

I said, it's not bad, as long as the doctor tells him to stay in this state when he goes for a reexamination.

She asked again: Does he usually smoke?

My honest answer is: 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. This is a normal return visit. Wish your husband good health.

After thanking her and saying goodbye, 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.

The husband said that this is a normal return visit to the hospital, and someone is responsible for 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 past events flashed through my mind and I thought of my patient 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 elder sister, who was also the wife of the patient at that time, for fear of hearing her voice of loss and pain.

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

But there are still some postoperative patients who may die before waiting for the second and third reexamination. Their relatives must be very sad to receive such a return call.

What a lucky thing it is to get it back. It makes us know how to cherish everything we have. We are 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, I can still look forward to the future and life is still worth living.
