Doctors were no longer striving to cure the patient but instead focused on helping them live morefortably in their final days.


    With this in mind, he assumed that Hank would still need surgical treatment upon his return.


    To prepare, he had already gathered profiles and credentials of several top pancreatic cancer specialists in the United States. He was simply waiting for Hank tond so they could discuss and decide which medical team to proceed with.


    At dawn, Hank’s ne touched down at New York’s airport.


    This time, instead of taking a car to the hospital, he had arranged for a medical helicopter in advance, which was waiting for him at the airport.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The hospital staff had also made all necessary preparations, just as they had during his previous visit.


    Dr. Johnson, the physician in chargest time, remained responsible for Hank’s case. Upon seeing him, Johnson immediately said, “Mr. Hank, I don’t think another examination is necessary at this point. The best course of action is to assess your overall condition and quickly develop a treatment n.”


    Hank shook his head. “Draw my blood right away and check my CA199 levels. Let’s see the results first, and then we’ll decide what to do next.”<fn4f79> Follow current nov?ls on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn4f79>


    Johnson asked, “Should we repeat the other tests as well?”


    Hank considered for a moment before asking, “How long will it take to get the CA199 results?”


    Johnson replied, “About six to seven hours.”


    Hank then asked, “Is a CT scan faster?”


    Johnson nodded and said, “In yourst full-body scan, we already identified the lesion. If we’re doing a recheck, the quickest method is to perform a localized CT scan focused on your pancreas. This will be much faster. Once we inject the contrast agent, our top specialists will analyze the images immediately. The results should be avable in just a few minutes.”


    Hank responded without hesitation, “Get the bloodwork done immediately, prepare the contrast agent, and move straight to the CT scan. Don’t waste any time.”


    Johnson had no choice but to nod andply. “Understood, Mr. Hank. I’ll make the arrangements right away!”


    Since fewer tests were required this time, the hospital quickly assigned nurses to draw blood and administer the contrast agent.


    Twenty minutester, Hank was wheeled into the CT room.


    At that moment, all the hospital’s relevant specialists, including Johnson, had gathered in the CT control room.


    Everyone anxiously waited for the imaging data to be processed so they could assess the results as soon as possible.


    Lying t on the examination table, Hank was slowly guided into the machine, while the technician operating it focused the scan on his pancreas.


    The machine whirred to life, rapidly generating three-dimensional CT images on the monitor.


    A group of doctors watched the images unfold in real time, their expressions shifting from neutrality to utter disbelief.


    One of them suddenly eximed, “This… this is impossible! How can there be no lesions at all? Could he really be cured?”


    Johnson was equally baffled. The previous in scan had clearly shown space-upying lesions in Hank’s pancreas.


    But now, the enhanced CT scan revealed no abnormalities whatsoever.


    A doctor turned to Johnson and asked, “I heard Mr. Hank made an urgent trip to China. Could it be that he was cured there?”


    Johnson frowned. “Even if China had the capability to cure him, there’s no known treatment like this! Typically, treating this condition requires removing the entire pancreas. What kind of treatment could eliminate the disease while preserving the organ?”


    Without wasting another moment, he ordered, “Quick! Pull up Mr. Hank’s previous CT scan forparison!”
