406: I am a streamer
"Young man, you?"
"Doctor, I'm fine. I just want to generally understand what stage my condition is currently in."
"I heard that even if it's not cancer, it's still divided into early, middle, and late stages, right? The earlier it's discovered, the better the effect of interventional treatment. Conversely, by the late stage, treatment is basically meaningless."
The doctor was truly at a loss with the Young man in front of him.
This seemed somewhat different from the development he had imagined.
When people hear the word 'cancer,' shouldn't their first reaction typically be fear, dread, and despair?
But why didn't he see those imagined expressions on the Young man's face?
Aside from a slight emotional fluctuation the moment he first heard the news, in the subsequent questioning, it was as if the person who was sick wasn't himself.
The doctor pondered for a moment before replying.
"If you want to further understand what stage the cancer has reached, I suggest you go to the Oncology Department for a detailed examination. Registration is in the lobby, and the consultation room is on the fourth floor."
Su Yu picked up the examination report from the table, thanked the doctor in front of him, and then turned to leave.
Since he came today just for a physical check-up, spending more time to clarify his specific physical condition was only right.
Pushing the door open, Su Yu put his mask back on and headed to the registration hall.
However, he didn't notice that a group of people were stealthily following him not far away.
These people were whispering, seemingly discussing in low voices.
Their gaze remained fixed on Su Yu. They were the same people who had been sitting in the hospital corridor earlier, watching the most influential person globally awards ceremony.
Wherever Su Yu went, they followed.
Seeing Su Yu register for a specialist appointment in the Oncology Department again and head towards the fourth floor, the light in their eyes grew even brighter. It was as if they had discovered some shocking secret.
"Brother, are you sure that person is really Brother Su?"
"It should be close! From his build to his voice, he's too similar to Su Yu in the video! And both of them are surnamed Su!"
"If I'm not mistaken, he just registered for the Oncology Department, right? He came alone, could it be that he's registering for himself?!"
"What do you think the Streamer is suffering from?"
"Don't talk about this or that yet. Let's get closer and first confirm if he really is Su Yu. Otherwise, it'll be funny if it turns out to be a false alarm."
After their discussion, the group watched Su Yu's departing back and quickly rushed to catch up.
However, their movements didn't dare to be too obvious.
After all, everything before them was still just their speculation; only after it was thoroughly confirmed would they have confidence.
Here, Su Yu quickly arrived at the oncology consultation room following the signs.
Walking along the way, he kept thinking about whether his illness was related to his thoughts from a few days ago.
Otherwise, why did this illness come knocking precisely when he was about to research the field of cancer?
It was as if everything was destined.
If he hadn't wanted to conduct research, perhaps this illness wouldn't have occurred.
And precisely because he thought about it, the system, in order to cooperate with the experiment, made him get sick.
As he walked through the corridor, Su Yu saw the patients who were waiting outside to queue for consultation.
Their faces were filled with fear, worry, and despair.
No matter what kind of tumor, as long as it touched this boundary, it would not be a good illness.
Even with benign tumors, it was still difficult to see any sense of relief on the patients' faces.
This is cancer!
This is the suffering that cancer brings to the world!
It also made Su Yu realize for the first time how many people his research could help alleviate suffering.
How many families are completely shattered because a family member falls ill?
Therefore, even if he wasn't sick himself this time, Su Yu was ready to initiate research into the field of cancer.
Pushing the door open, a mother and daughter inside the consultation room were rising from their seats, their faces pale.
The mother was around sixty or seventy years old, her temples already streaked with gray.
She was dressed simply, her withered and frail body seemed weak against the wind; without the support of the middle-aged woman beside her, she would likely have difficulty even walking.
From their clothing and appearance, Su Yu could tell at a glance.
This mother and daughter likely came from a rural area, living in straitened circumstances.
It was highly probable that the mother was ill and unwilling to seek hospital treatment, but was forcibly dragged for examination by her daughter.
Su Yu could imagine the desperate expressions of the two of them, powerless in the face of various examination fees and exorbitant medical expenses.
This is reality!
Coming back to his senses, the mother and daughter were slowly walking out.
From the middle-aged woman's eyes, Su Yu vaguely saw tears welling up, but she forcibly held them back from falling.
"Sit down, Young man."
"Let me see your examination report first."
Having seen the mother and daughter off with his gaze, the doctor looked back at Su Yu.
Su Yu said nothing more and handed over the examination report in his hand.
The doctor read it for a while, his brows gradually furrowing.
"Young man, are you currently experiencing a faint, dull pain in your liver area?"
"Also, have you been experiencing long-term loss of appetite and lack of sleep?"
Su Yu nodded.
He had all the symptoms the doctor mentioned.
"Doctor, so it's confirmed that my current condition is liver cancer? Is it early, middle, or late stage now? If it's late stage, how much longer do I have to live?"
Su Yu didn't hide anything, getting straight to the point and asking about the specific situation.
The doctor looked up at the Young man in front of him.
Somehow, he felt that the other party showed no negative emotions at all due to having cancer; on the contrary, he seemed even more determined.
"Mr. Su, according to your current physical condition, the liver cancer should be in the middle stage, transitioning towards the late stage."
"If left unchecked and uncontrolled, I'm afraid you won't last more than half a year."
"If possible, you should immediately put down all your work and cooperate with treatment. Perhaps with good control, you could extend your life by several more years."
The doctor thought Su Yu wasn't taking the matter seriously, so he emphasized the severity of the problem with a heavier tone.
Su Yu smiled and shook his head.
"Thank you for the doctor's reminder."
"However, work probably can't be stopped. Because I am a Streamer, and many people are waiting for me every day."
"So I hope to do things that are more useful to society during my working hours, as much as possible."
