Professor Herbert put down his coffee and picked up the phone on the table.

On the other side of the earth, Ling Hong let out a sigh of relief. Then, he lowered his voice and said directly,""Hello, I'm Gurner. I made an appointment a week ago to consult a patient with pancreatic cancer."

"Yes, I know, I remember. Hello, I'm professor Herbert." Herbert nodded in response.

When Ling Hong heard Herbert's voice, the anxiety in his heart subsided a little. In fact, he didn't blame Ling Hong.

Herbert was too famous, and his research on pancreatic cancer was also world-renowned, so it was hard to invite him.

"I have a female friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. When she was discovered, she was already in the late stage. At that time, when she was examined, she was said to be in the final stage of pancreatic cancer in about two months." Ling Hong's English was fluent.

Both the pronunciation and the vocabulary used were very American. Herbert could understand it very clearly, but Ling Hong still tried to explain ruan Xiaoqing's situation briefly.

"I'm sorry, please continue." Herbert said.

"Okay, but although we can't be sure since the examination, it must have been more than two months." Ling Hong took a deep breath and then said.

"That means the treatment and control are good. You should be glad." Herbert said.

"Yes, yes, I'm glad, but I didn't see her actively cooperating with the treatment." There was a vague helplessness in Ling Hong's voice.

"That's not good. " Herbert said.

"It's like this. Her current symptoms include back and abdominal pain and weight loss, but she doesn't show any signs of jaundice. I haven't seen any symptoms such as vomiting, constipation, or dark stool." Ling Hong kept talking about the symptoms of ruan Xiaoqing that he observed.

"But she's in good spirits. She looks optimistic." Ling Hong continued.

"Okay. You know we don't have much time. Why don't you send me a fax or email about your friend's case? I think it will help me understand the condition faster, don't you think?" Herbert suggested sincerely.

"After all, pancreatic cancer can be divided into many types. You need to know different things to counter different types of pancreatic cancer." Herbert said.

Ling Hong listened to Herbert's serious suggestion, but he lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table in silence for a few seconds.

Even though he had done a great favor for them in the past half an hour and every minute and second was precious, Ling Hong still didn't say anything.

After quite a while, until even Herbert started to frown at the other end of the phone, Ling Hong said again,""I'm really sorry, but I don't have her medical record. I don't think I can get this medical record for the time being."

"Then I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you." Herbert's brows furrowed even more, but he still spoke up.

"No, professor Herbert, you can." Ling Hong said with an affirmative tone.

"Hey, young man, I have done some research on pancreatic cancer, but I'm not God. I can't diagnose you without any basis." Herbert could not help but laugh.

"I know, Dr. Herbert. I'm actually here today to ask if terminal pancreatic cancer can be cured." Ling Hong asked in a low voice.

However, before Herbert could answer, Ling Hong continued,""I'm referring to a situation like hers. "

"Hey, young man. You know that I don't have any medical records with me. I don't know if your friend had undergone surgery, or if his pancreatic cancer has spread. I don't even know what type of pancreatic cancer your friend has, so I don't know." It was rare for Herbert to say something so long and so fast.

"Besides, judging from your tone, you've done your homework on pancreatic cancer. Then, you should know that if the terminal stage of pancreatic cancer is not treated, it will only last for three months at most. And that's on the basis that Jianli's body is in good condition." Herbert continued.

Ling Hong didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Herbert's tone at all. He explained seriously,""According to our observation, she probably has cancer at the tail of the pancreas. It hasn't been removed yet, so the condition of the metastasis is unknown. However, it might be that it's pressing on the nerves in the abdominal cavity, so she's suffering from back pain."

Herbert, who was listening to Ling Hong's words at the other end of the phone, couldn't help but roll his eyes. After all, Ling Hong's request sounded like he wanted him to make a diagnosis from a distance, which he couldn't do.

"Here's the thing, Gurner. I suggest that you either send me your friend's recent medical records or bring her to my hospital for a full body examination. Otherwise, I can't give you the answer you want." Herbert emphasized again.

"Yes, I understand what you're saying, professor Herbert. One last question." Ling Hong answered "yes" continuously and then asked another question.

"Alright, you still have ten minutes." Herbert looked at the time and reminded Kieran.

Herbert's reminder clearly told Ling Hong that he only had ten minutes to ask the questions.

"She has a good appetite. She can eat about two-thirds of an ordinary person's food. If she can maintain this amount of food and has enough nutrients, will she be able to live longer?" Ling Hong said.

"What's the appetite of the ordinary people you're talking about?" Herbert asked curiously.

The pancreas was actually the second major digestive gland in the human body, and its functions included both excretory and endocrine functions.

The pancreas's tissue could produce pancreatic juice as an excretory function. The island cells in the pancreas can produce insulin, hypoglycemia, and other substances, which belong to endocrine functions.

Moreover, the pancreas was located behind the stomach. It was located at the height of the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebrae, and it was horizontally attached to the abdominal wall.

Therefore, if there was a problem with such an organ, it would definitely cause a disorder in the digestive system. Hence, emaciated body and difficulty in eating could be said to be the basic symptom of pancreatic cancer.

Humans were also very strange animals. No matter what illness they had, they could still survive for a while if they could eat, but once they could not eat, they were not far from being summoned by God.

Therefore, Herbert had his doubts about the two-thirds of the food capacity of an ordinary person mentioned by Ling Hong.

"It's the food intake of healthy ordinary people. " Ling Hong said affirmatively.

"That's strange. With your shallow understanding, you should know that pancreatic cancer causes difficulty in swallowing food, no matter what type it is. I want to ask if you have any special supplementary therapy?" Herbert asked with interest.

When he said "shallow understanding," he wasn't being sarcastic, because most people who didn't have any professional knowledge were called "shallow." It was just that his words sounded offensive.

Eating was a huge problem, and it was even more difficult for pancreatic cancer patients to eat.

On hearing this question, Ling Hong fell silent again. He recalled the time when Yuan Zhou went to the Asia-Pacific Exchange and he took ruan Xiaoqing out for a meal. Ruan Xiaoqing had a look of difficulty in swallowing her food.

To be honest, no matter how hard ruan Xiaoqing tried to eat, she only ate one-fifth of her usual amount. It could be said that she had only tasted a little.

"There's no special treatment, because it's delicious." Thinking of Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship, Ling Hong answered with an affirmative tone.

"Ha?" Herbert was dumbfounded.
