Chapter 158 Multiple Myeloma

At the beginning, Chen Dong was not sure what caused the village chief’s back pain, because many diseases cause back pain.

For example, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain and the like.

After Chen Dong’s careful observation later, he found that the village chief’s mouth and teeth were pale, and there was edema in his calves and arms.

He had guesses in his heart, and the following questions were just to verify his guesses.

“The village chief, do you feel pain all over when you turn over at night? Especially in the chest area?”

If it hadn’t been the first time that the village chief had seen Chen Dong, he would have doubted whether Chen Dong was spying on his life secretly, otherwise how could he know so clearly.

“You have all the feelings you said.”

Chen Dong nodded clearly.

“Besides, when you go to the toilet, will there be more foam and less urine?” Chen Dong asked with a serious face.

But this is the first time the village chief and the village chief’s wife have heard it. Some people will ask this kind of question so bluntly. After all, they have never been in contact with the doctor as a profession in their entire lives, and they don’t understand the seriousness of some problems.

Although the village chief felt a little embarrassed, Xu Zhixia still answered truthfully because of Xu Zhixia’s face: “Yes.”

At the same time, he was wondering, how could this Doctor Chen ask some weird questions?

Chen Dong frowned deeper.

When Xu Zhixia saw this scene, she couldn’t help asking: “Is there something wrong with the village chief’s body?”

“Well, the preliminary judgment should be multiple myeloma.”

Xu Zhixia: “What? It’s so serious…”

The village head and his wife looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other’s eyes.

Village Chief: “What does this mean? Is there a tumor in my body?”

He did not understand what is called multiple myeloma.

Chen Dong patiently popularized the village head and his wife: “Multiple myeloma is a type of tumor. Generally, middle-aged and elderly people are more likely to get this disease, and the incidence rate of men is much higher than that of women.”

This is why Chen Dong thought of this disease for the first time.

“Generally, people with multiple myeloma will have symptoms such as anemia, weakness of the limbs, bone pain, and kidney disease.”

The symptoms associated with multiple myeloma are quite numerous.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Dong is very worried about the health of the village chief.

The village head and his wife never thought it would be so serious, especially after hearing Chen Dong’s words, the village head’s wife almost shed tears.

The village chief is the backbone of their village. The village chief has fallen. Not only their family, but the whole village will lose its focus.

The village chief’s wife started to panic: “Doctor Chen, how can I treat this disease of my old man?”

She was just a country woman and didn’t understand so many technical terms. When she heard the myeloma, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

The village chief’s wife even secretly planned in her heart how much savings she had in her home, and whether it was enough for the village chief to see a doctor?

Chen Dong touched his chin and thought for a while before he said, “Because the village chief is also 60 years old this year, I suggest induction therapy.”

“Induction therapy means that autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be performed and then the treatment can be maintained.”

“But I just heard the village chief’s description that his condition should not be particularly serious.”

“So you relax your mind and don’t worry.”

In fact, Chen Dong was afraid that they were too worried, and there was another symptom that he did not say, that is, multiple myeloma may also cause paralysis.

But this is very rare.

The village chief’s wife Liushen Wuzhu asked: “Then where should my old man go for treatment now?”



Xu Zhixia looked at Chen Dong immediately: “Can you let the village chief go back to Hua’an Hospital with us?”

When the time comes, Chen Dong will perform the operation on the village chief, and she will be more at ease.

I just don’t know if the village chief can wait until that time.

Chen Dong nodded softly: “The village head’s situation is still safe now. I will call back immediately and let them prepare for the operation. Then the village head can go directly to the operation.”

It can be said that Chen Dong planned everything for the village chief.

The village chief hesitated, and said stammeringly: “In fact, at my age, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it.”

“Otherwise, forget it.”

He is already sixty years old, even if he is cured of the disease, how many years can he live?

Why waste this money? He has no children in his entire life, so he might as well leave the money to the people in the village.

There is no need to waste his old bones.

The old village chief has long been bearish on the life and death of the old village chief, anyway, sooner or later, he has to go so far.

Only the village chief who has lived with the village chief for so many years knows what his wife is thinking at the moment.

She sighed slightly, but in the end she didn’t say much.

Xu Zhixia was afraid that the village chief would have concerns: “The village chief, don’t think so. This village needs you. The medical expenses are borne by our Xu family. What’s more, this time our Xu family has raised 500 million yuan in charity funds. In addition to the cost of the bridge, there should be a lot left.”

“The money will be spent on you villagers after all.”

“The purpose of this money was decided early in the morning. Okay, you don’t have to refuse, the village chief, otherwise I really don’t know how to distribute the money.”

Chen Dong took the opportunity to say: “Yes, the old village head, in fact, this operation can’t cost a lot of money, and in your case, I can apply for poverty subsidies from the hospital, and I can get 80% reimbursement.”

After Chen Dong and Xu Zhixia wanted to persuade, the village head finally agreed to perform the operation.

The village chief’s wife looked at Xu Zhixia and Chen Dong gratefully: “Thank you Dr. Chen, I really thank Dr. Chen.”

“If it weren’t for Dr. Chen, I didn’t know that his body was already so bad.”

The village chief sighed, “Thank you Dr. Chen and Mr. Xu, you are interested.”

The village chief didn’t have any awareness of this matter. He even felt that his body could now plan another three acres of land. As a result, he started to sweat after hearing Chen Dong’s words.

If Chen Dong hadn’t told him this today, he might still feel that his body was very tough, and he might fall down suddenly one day.



The village chief is not greedy for life and fear of death, he just feels that he is still shouldering the affairs of the whole village and cannot fall down.

After all, he is too old, and when he arranges these things and the next village chief takes over the village, he doesn’t plan to worry about so many things.

It’s just that their small broken village has not yet elected the next village chief.

It’s not because you can’t choose, but because no one wants it at all. Everyone looks down on this thankless job.

Older people just want to live their own little life by guarding their one-third acre land.

Young people have long gone out to break into society, so why stay in this village and be a small village head with no power and power.

Therefore, the position of the village chief has been from the age of twenty to the age of sixty now.

It can be regarded as seeing the ebb and flow of this village.

The village chief wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Chen Dong urged very solemnly: “The village chief must take a good rest these days, and don’t go to work anymore.”

“Just think of it as preparing for the operation at that time, because the operation also requires certain conditions. If your conditions are not in place, the hospital will not be able to arrange the operation for you.”

After all, this kind of surgery is still a bit risky.

The village chief nodded repeatedly, convinced by Chen Dong’s words.

“It’s getting late and we should go back. Thank you and Madam for your hospitality. Tomorrow I will come to cooperate with you to distribute supplies.”

In fact, the main role of Xu Zhixia tomorrow is to allocate subsidies, because all the subsidies are in Xu Zhixia’s body.

“Okay, with my family’s conditions, I won’t let you live with me.” The village chief gave a wry smile, everyone knows his family’s conditions, and there is no place for Xu Zhixia and Chen Dong to live.

“It’s so dark outside, I’ll send you back.”

“After all, you are very unfamiliar with the terrain.”

The village chief grew up in this small village all his life, and he could find a way home even with his eyes closed, but he was worried that Xu Zhixia and Chen Dong would be lost.

After all, this black lamp is blind, and you can’t see anything.

Chen Dong: “Without the village head, we can go back by ourselves at such a distance.”

The village chief wanted to say something, but was directly blocked by Chen Dong in the house: “It’s getting colder at night, so don’t come out to send us off.”

“Yes, the village chief can go back by ourselves.”

Xu Zhixia was not sure at first, but when Chen Dong said this, he felt relieved. Since he said that, he would definitely find a way back.

Seeing them say this, the village head didn’t have much to say, so he watched them leave: “You must pay attention to safety.”

Chen Dong waved his hand to the village chief and turned on the flashlight in his mobile phone.
