Ayash sat in Doctor Hansen's room. Just a moment ago, he asked her to come to his room because there was something important she had to talk about.
Ayash's feelings are always bad when Doctor Hansen wants to see him. He would definitely explain Daniel's condition to her. Every time he came, he had to mentally prepare to listen to whatever the doctor would say.
Ayash prefers himself to meet with the doctor. Prita will not be able to hear things that are not good. Ever since Daniel got sick, it seems like Prita has never smiled. She used to cry and sometimes fainted. The usually very strong woman had now turned into a crybaby weak woman.
"Ayash, Daniel's condition is getting worse. If action is not taken immediately, the condition can be even worse."
Ayash took a deep breath. He thought this conversation would be about that. "Is there no better medicine, Om? No matter the price, it doesn't matter."
"Medicines that have been given only to relieve the symptoms and suppress the disease worsened. But, to kill the cancer cells need to be done chemotherapy."
Hearing the word chemotherapy, Ayash again imagined when Daniel first underwent the process of spinal aspiration. The little boy should feel a needle the size of a pen tip piercing into his skin and penetrating his spine. Then, the contents of the bone marrow will be sucked through the needle to be examined. When the needle through the bone was pierced and pulled, Daniel wept. The sound of crying made Ayash who was then accompanying even felt unbearable to see it. For several days after the procedure, Daniel still complained that the area of the injection marks was painful. Ayash could not imagine if Daniel would later have to undergo a chemotherapy procedure. He will be in more pain.
"Ayash, with chemotherapy treatment will be more effective. Drugs given in chemotherapy through intravenous will work throughout the body's cells without exception. With this it can kill cancer cells that have spread throughout the body."
"I can't bear to see Daniel in pain, Om."
"He'll be in more pain if we let his condition go like this."
"I still can't bear it."
"Ayash, Daniel's a strong boy. You have to trust him." Hansen convinced Ayash to make the best decision.
"In addition, chemotherapy does not provide pain when given carefully in the right way. Usually, if in the process of chemo the patient feels pain, burning, fever chills or chills, he can say it to the doctor or nurse in the chemotherapy room. Treatment is mostly passed through the blood vessels like a regular infuse, so that later Daniel can skip chemotherapy time while sleeping, reading, playing, or chatting with his friend in the chemo room. The leukemia patient here isn't just Daniel. There are some other children who have the same disease as him. Daniel would love to have chemotherapy with his friends."
"That means Daniel's chemotherapy isn't alone?"
"Yes. There are other children who have been undergoing their chemotherapy routine."
"You and Prita can join the community of parents who have children with leukemia to know more about this disease and you can strengthen each other."
"If you've joined them, I'm sure you'll be more grateful. Many parents whose children have leukemia have economic limitations. As for you, the economy is prosperous. Your zeal for your son's recovery should be higher."
"How many times does Daniel need chemotherapy to heal, Om?"
"I've told you, this disease can take a long time to heal. I can't be sure how often and how long a patient goes through chemotherapy. All adapted to the type of cancer and the patient's health condition."
"Is Daniel really curable?"
"Then what should we prepare before and during the chemotherapy process later?"
"Always keep clean. A cancer patient who is undergoing chemotherapy can mostly cause a decrease in the body's ability to fight infection in a certain period of time. The best way to avoid infection is to wash your hands either for the sufferer or the person in contact with the sufferer."
"Chemotherapy drugs take approximately 48 hours to remove or reduce the strength of drugs circulating in the body, through urine, stool and other body fluids, so carefully use the toilet together, so that, wash your hands well after using the toilet. Be careful with all equipment or clothing that if exposed to body fluids sufferers in that period. Reduce patient contact with strangers."
Ayash took a moment. The thing that is most feared by patients in undergoing chemotherapy is the side effects that may arise. Although chemotherapy drugs are aimed at killing rapidly growing cancer cells, they can have an effect on normal cells. Although these side effects are not as bad as imagined, often this scares the sufferer. Such as pain, nausea, vomiting, to the problem of hair baldness.
"Om... is it true that chemotherapy can cause baldness?"
"Hahaha... when such trivial things you are concerned about? Hair that has fallen out can grow again. The important thing is to focus first on eliminating the cancer cells. Indeed, most who undergo chemotherapy experience baldness. But there are also those who do not experience it."
Ayash finally agreed to the doctor's advice to give Daniel chemotherapy immediately. He walked lunglai down the quiet corridor while occasionally sighing.
When he had just entered Daniel's room, he was already greeted by his mother's high priest. Maya was there angry.
"Prita, your son is not just Daniel. If you can't afford to pay attention to Dean and Livy either, let me take care of them. You could've let Dean get hurt like this."
Maya gets angry while hugging Dean. For several days he was in J City and on his return his grandson was admitted to the hospital with an injured hand. Of course he was very angry. Prita just focused on Daniel's condition. Her other child was not noticed at all.
"Ayash has been expensive out a lot of money for the care of your child. But Ayash's own son you abandoned? You really don't know yourself."
"Mama enough!" snapped Ayash.
He walked over to Prita and hugged her. The woman was alone guarding her two children when she entered Dr. Hansen's room. He did not expect that his mother would come and come back to make Prita cry.
"Keep defending him. Strange woman who pays more attention to her son with another man than to your son."
"If you can't speak well, it's better to go home and never come here again."
"You're kicking mama out?"
"Mama wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for Dean. Later, after Dean recovers, you'll invite him and Livy to stay with you at the mansion. You guys really don't take care of them."
"All because of that bastard."
"Who's the bastard?"
