Pat shook his head. "Things don't look good, Sir. It's growing very rapidly—the CA199 count is positively skyrocketing, considering that it's just been three months."Hank wiped the sweat off his brow as he asked, "Well, what's the plan for treatment?""That's why I'm here," Pat replied. "To tell you that the sooner we operate to remove your pancreas, the better.""Remove it?!" Hank blurted. "How long am I expected to survive after that? Five years?" "There's no telling," Pat sighed, shaking his head. "In this day and age, pancreatic cancer is the most unpredictable—the cells grow rapidly with lethal precision, and even if removed, there's a good chance they have already metastasized elsewhere." "The only sure thing is that regardless of early detection, only ten percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive the next five years… And as of yet, none have survived up to ten years."Pausing, Pat then finished, "If I had to put it this way… They are like Germany in World War Two."
Chapter 7154
When Hank showed the CA199 result, the cabal finally realized that Charlie really did possess some sort of unseen power that could determine a person's fate.Hank was horrified, too, hurriedly signing the consent forms for a contrast agent before being rushed into the CT scan room. As the gigantic machinery whirled, rumbled, and beeped loudly, his heart raced in panic all the more.In the past, he had found comfort in such sounds—it was the power of money and technology, bringing about advanced medical equipment to keep him healthy.But now, those same objects left him panicked and horrified.After all, he had to be inside a small hole while he was scanned from head to toe—twice, and the longer it lasted, the more tormenting it was.Just as he thought he was about to suffocate, the machine finally stopped whirling, and he was pulled out.The lead door also opened as Greg and several nurses swiftly moved him to a stretcher, sending him back to his VIP ward.Along the way, he co

On the other hand, if Hank's health failed, Greg would basically be fired, as he was more or less a health consultant to Hank.And should Hank be admitted to a specialist hospital, there wasn't much he could do either.Hence, even as Hank remained in a good mood a moment ago, he was suddenly dying inside as he fumbled for his phone, stammering, "Houston… We have a problem."Andrew was the first to laugh. "Oh, congratulations, Hank! We've been waiting the whole night for this one… So, what's the anomaly here?Hank really wasn't in the mood for jokes and snapped at Andrew right then, "Shut up! Are you trying to jinx me?!"Andrew was left aggrieved. "But you're the one who said that there was something wrong! Why would you snap at me like that?"Hank bellowed furiously, nonetheless, "I'd rather be normal with just minor anomalies and definitely not pancreatic cancer! As it turns out, my CA199 count is several dozen times above normal, and the doctor said that pancreatic cancer is th
Chapter 7152
Greg pursed his lips in discomfort.Did Hank just happen to have a few screws loose today? Is that why he was looking forward to being sick?Considering what Hank had just said, he began, "Sir, I must apologize that I've actually noticed a fresh perspective thanks to what you just said. If anything, I think it kind of makes sense as there may be phenomena that can never be explained by science—metaphysics, as one would put it."Hank nodded in agreement. "That's the case for the world itself—everyone only sees what they each want to see, remaining ignorant of that which they have not seen before."Pausing, he then waved him off, saying, "Let's put that aside for the moment and get down to business… So, what was the issue you've found?"Greg quickly said, "Your CA199 levels are a bit high…"Hank remained excited as he asked, "How is that relevant? What does it have to do with erectile issues? I'm really not getting it up lately—does that figure have something to do with that?""Er

Greg grinned and nodded. "You got that right—Hank has been hoping to have some symptoms detected, and it's almost as though it worries him more if there's nothing.""Goddamn…" Pat adjusted his glasses as he asked, "I mean, that's fine… But he's not going to like his CA199 levels freaking out, is he?"Greg's smile stiffened on his face, and it took him a while to come to his senses. "His CA199 levels are freaking out? Are you kidding?"Being Hank's personal doctor, Greg knew everything about Hank's health.But the CA199 protein was used as a tumor marker, primarily for monitoring pancreatic cancer along with other GI tract cancers.While there were a variety of tumor markers for different parts of the body, it was a consistent rule that all tumor markers would always stay under normal levels—unless cancer cells were growing.If it rose beyond the normal ranges, that meant that there was a good chance of cancer. While there were always the isolated cases of false positives, the tum

Other results were soon brought to Hank in his room, but strangely, nothing was found, whether it was for toxins, heavy metals, or even radioactive substances.Any normal person would be smiling with such a clean bill of health, but Hank wasn't.If anything, he wasn't as calm as he was at first.Bemused, Greg asked, "Sir, there's nothing, and you're clearly fine… so can I just ask, why the long face?"Hank remained seething—he couldn't just say that he was hoping for an anomaly that could be linked to his impotence, could he?As such, he instead said, "I visited Oskia recently, and they seem to think that people live a little longer if they have little things that ail the body. It's those who didn't and always seemed perfectly healthy that would die instantly… don't you think so?""Well…" Greg hesitated for a while, and then smiled as he said, "I can't say I fully agree with that? If anything, it looks like survivorship bias to me. It's never the little ailments that keep the p

It’s a endless story like a tv series I guess this book won’t end unless it gets cancelled
Why are they going back and forth with Jeevika’s gender? Is it a typo or intentional?
I don’t care about all the Buddha jargon and your explanation is very shallow. Stay on course with the storyline. You have watered this story so much that it will soon become mud. Get on track with the story.
Wait, we wait and then we wait some more.. The more we wait even grease won't help Charlie.
This isn’t a chapter
I was very disappointed in the chapter this week or today it's a bunch of gibberish that doesn't pertain to me we're supposed to be working with Charlie and we're getting nowhere. his mother needs to stay out of this and he needs to know that she is around and what she is doing. he has been survivin
These are not chapters
Another waist of money, I was not enlightened
boring....
I don’t think good novel can understand English . All the people complaining about the book dragging out and not enough chapters to read they are not doing nothing about it.
I think I lost brain cell reading this gibberish.
so many unwanted / unnecessary add ons .going out to the core of the story.
typical one chapter Friday. quit the worthless b.s. finish the novel
More BS!!! So sad!!
Get on with the actual story and get to the end already. I'm almost ready to give up on this never- ending drivel.
What a waist episode really pleas stop this BS keep going with the original story. I m very disappointed that you are just stealing our money. Because we are into this story we keep reading useless episodes You are a disgrace
too short it's like a soap opera that we can't get to the point by the teaspoon.
What is the purpose that Charlie's Mom set this up, because the master man or woman I'm unsure since it said she at 1 point.. but to lure Naniko sp? away from Charlie.. he has profound love toward him in all directions.. maybe he will have a harem of wives but he doesn't seem to want that..
one pathetic chapter with nothing in it. disgusting
please I still need the audio
congratulations
Sugoi means loko loko… (a wacko)
