   Chapter 386 Lu Chen's suggestion

  Pulmonary nodule, in simple terms, is something growing in the lung!

  This lung nodule may be caused by many factors such as heredity, acquired environment, and living habits.

   If it is a nodule of conscience, then it doesn’t matter, I am afraid that the malignant nodule will continue to grow and invade the lung tissue, which is what we often call lung cancer!

   When Lu Wenguo saw the CT image in front of him, he couldn't help thinking of what Lu Chen said to him, the dry rales on his back!

   The size and location of this nodule is exactly what Lu Chen said.

   "Is Xiaochen's auscultation so powerful? Such small abnormalities can be found!"

   After Lu Wenguo was slightly shocked, he began to turn his attention to this lung nodule.

   In fact, there are lung nodules, which are very common!

  Many people have pulmonary nodules, but most of them are benign and very small. Generally, it is difficult to find them. It only requires regular CT scans every 3-6 months.

   If the size of the pulmonary nodules has not changed, CT scans can even be repeated every 1-2 years.

  Thinking of this, Lu Wenguo was still not at ease.

   His ability to read pictures is limited, and he can only turn to the radiologist in the hospital for help.

   Found a phone number of a well-connected radiologist, and Lu Wenguo called.

   "Hey, old Zhang, please help me to look at a CT film. Yes... I just did it, the hospital number is... The name is Lu Chaoming, a relative of mine."

   After the phone call, Lu Wenguo took a few pictures of the CT scan and sent them to Lu Chen.

   As for Lu Chaoming, before clarifying the matter, Lu Wenguo felt that it was better to keep it a secret for the time being.

  …

  At home, Lu Chen was thinking about taking a good rest when he received a WeChat message from Lu Wenguo.

   "This should be the CT image of the second grandpa."

  Lu Chen immediately clicked on the original image.

   He saw the lung nodule at a glance!

   "It's really a problem!" Lu Chen frowned, "Bronchiitis does exist, but the most important thing is this lung nodule problem!"

  Lu Chen briefly estimated the size of the lung nodules.

   Good guy, it's not too small, almost 1cm.

   is less than the size of a fingernail, but in the human body, this size is incredible.

   However, Lu Chen's own film reading ability is not too strong, so he sent this CT film to a graduate student in the respiratory department he knew in the second hospital of Jinghua.

   In the past six months, Lu Chen has met a lot of people in the Second Hospital of Beijing and Hua, but mainly people majoring in internal medicine.

   But Lu Chen also understands that it is impossible to diagnose benign and malignant through a chest CT!

   Unless the nodule is particularly large and has invaded the surrounding tissue, the diagnosis of the tumor needs to rely on pathological biopsy!

   That is, through the puncture needle, enter the lung, take out a part of the lung tissue, and perform pathological sectioning, this is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of lung cancer!

  Others, such as chest CT, enhanced CT, or genetic monitoring, are just to aid in the diagnosis.

  …

   After Lu Wenguo and Lu Chen asked their doctor friends, most of the colleagues intruded on the diagnosis of conscience nodules!

   This gave Lu Wenguo a sigh of relief!

   However, Lu Chen did not dare to relax.

   If it is really just a benign nodule, then there will be three minus signs on his head?

   This is unlikely!

  Lu Chen was in his heart, but he couldn't convince himself that this was his conscience.

   Even, judging by the system's health value, he is more inclined to be a vicious one!

  …

  Lu Chen immediately communicated his thoughts with Lu Wenguo.

   "Xiaochen, do you think this is vicious?" Lu Wenguo was very surprised.

   "Yes." Lu Chen nodded, "The size of the nodule and the fact that it doesn't seem to be smooth around it, are malignant!"

  Lu Wenguo frowned, he also knew that viciousness could not be ruled out.

   "Hey, what a bad thing this is!"

   But he thought about it, fortunately he found it early.

   If it is really a tumor, if it is discovered later, the tumor may metastasize, and it will be too late to say anything!

  The most important thing now is how to tell Lu Chaoming about this...

  Lu Wenguo thought about it again and again, and decided to keep the matter a little bit hidden, tell Lu Chaoming's son first, and then let him choose to tell or not to tell.

   So, Lu Wenguo took out his mobile phone again and called Lu Donghua, the eldest son of Lu Chaoming.

  …

   Although we are relatives, it is impossible to replace the decision.

  Lu Wenguo told Lu Donghua what he thought.

   "The possibility of conscience is high, and malignancy is not excluded..."

   This year's Spring Festival is not too good.

   Lu Chen can only be thankful now that he found this "lung nodule" ahead of time according to the system's prompt.

  The next thing depends on how Lu Donghua and Lu Chaoming choose!

  Lu Chaoming's eldest son, Lu Donghua, was paying New Year's greetings at a relative's house. He was stunned when he heard the news.

   He knew that his father went for a medical examination today, but he thought it was going through the motions.

   "Donghua, I haven't told your dad yet." Lu Wenguo said on the phone.

   "Okay, I understand, I'll go back and discuss this matter." Lu Donghua rushed home immediately.

  Because Lu Wenguo said, there is a high possibility of benign, but there is also the possibility of malignant!

  Lu Wenguo is an old doctor for many years.

   After about half an hour.

  Lu Wenguo received another call from Lu Donghua.

   "Brother, what's your suggestion?"

  Lu Wenguo was a little hesitant, because the doctors in the respiratory department, thoracic surgery department, and imaging department of the county hospital agreed, and they all recommended a review in one to two months.

   However, Lu Chen said directly: "Dad, I suggest that the second grandpa go to the hospital in Jiangcheng."

   "Is this necessary?" Lu Wenguo hesitated.

   "Show the chest CT scan to a more professional doctor." Lu Chen said, "Now the transportation is convenient, and Uncle Donghua's house is not bad for money, so you can rest assured."

   "This..." Lu Wenguo said, "I'll talk to your Uncle Donghua."

  …

   "What does Xiaochen mean, let my dad go to Jiangcheng University Hospital?" Lu Donghua was slightly taken aback when he heard Lu Wenguo's words on the phone.

   "Well, he also arranged the physical examination this time." Lu Wenguo told the truth, "He auscultated a chest problem and arranged it specially."

   "It's actually Xiaochen's decision?" Lu Donghua hesitated for a while, listening to a student's opinion, it seems...

   "Xiaochen said that if he wants to go to the hospital in Jiangcheng, he can introduce a respiratory specialist." Lu Wenguo added, "When he was studying in Jiangcheng, he followed a chief specialist in the respiratory department..."

   "Okay, I'll think about it again." Lu Donghua hung up the phone.

  Lu Chen said everything he had to say, and the rest had a clear conscience.

  …

   In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Lu Chen left Pingyang and returned to Jinghua.

   Make up for yesterday's
