Chapter 2424 Investigating the First Trigger Mechanism
Having practiced medicine in the city for more than two years, Bian Mu has gained a great deal in many aspects, including the taboos of secular life.

As a medical expert, Bian Mu is too young and has no authority over ordinary working-class people like Aunt Xue. His credibility is greatly reduced. Even if Bian Mu goes to great lengths to treat her, Aunt Xue's family will most likely not fully cooperate.

Left with no other choice, Bian Mu had to resort to some underhanded tactics to raise his own value and gain Aunt Xue's trust.

When they were young, Aunt Xue took good care of Bian Mu and his sister. Now that Bian Mu has become quite successful, he must repay that kindness from back then.

More importantly, Aunt Xue's nasal cancer developed early and was relatively mild. Moreover, the location of the lesion was easy to treat with medication. If timely treatment is sought, it can have a significant positive impact. If Aunt Xue and her husband cooperate closely with the subsequent treatment, they may be able to get as close to a complete cure as possible!
“We should have invited you to our clinic a long time ago, but I’ve been too busy with all sorts of things lately. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Don’t worry! The oncology department here is quite strong. With my help, the treatment results should be much better than you think!” Bian Mu encouraged him by the bedside.

Medical insurance covers a lot of costs, but Aunt Xue still doesn't want to go to the city for active treatment. In her opinion, since she can't have surgery anyway, she might as well receive conservative treatment at home and see how far she gets treated. Sometimes, you have to accept your fate!

Recently, thanks to the persuasion of Uncle Feng and Bian Yue, she finally agreed to have another check-up at a top-tier hospital in the city, instead of going to the top-tier provincial hospitals.

She never dreamed that the Bian family boy she had watched grow up would have become a specially appointed expert in such a short time. Overjoyed, Aunt Xue felt much more at ease.

"Really? I'm sorry to have troubled you... Is some herbal medicine enough?" Aunt Xue asked gently.

"Comprehensive treatment. The first stage mainly involves acupuncture and herbal medicine. Afterwards, we need to discuss with the attending physician here to do some Western medicine consolidation treatment. After two courses of treatment, we should be able to safely get through the dangerous and deteriorating period. As long as we work together to get through this hurdle, things will be much simpler afterward!" Bian Mu smiled and reassured Aunt Xue.

At this moment, Uncle Feng seemed a little excited, rubbing his hands together for a long time, his eyes full of eager expectation.

The medical staff arranged by Chen Yurong were quite capable, and the atmosphere of being surrounded by stars was created quite impressive. Aunt Xue and her husband would glance at them from time to time and suddenly realized that Xiao Mu had become quite successful after not seeing him for several years!

"I just asked the head nurse, and you still have a few test results coming back. Today, I'll give you a brief overview of your condition. Theoretically, like you, I have the potential for cancer. Currently, in my case, the cancer burden is consistently far below the detection limit (usually <10 cells), and my immune system and the cancerous process are in a 'low-burden symbiotic' state. In your case, the balance between your immune system and the cancerous system has slightly collapsed. The cancerous system is beginning to take shape, and the tumor burden has exceeded a certain threshold, forming two small, polyp-like tumors in your nasal cavity. What we need to do in the near future is to try to pinpoint the trigger point for this initial imbalance. A few years ago, your body..." "Your cells, like mine, exhibit a very orderly, controlled process of birth, aging, illness, and death; they are capable of repair and natural apoptosis. Then, one day, a few cells accidentally triggered a DNA damage mechanism, followed by the failure of some repair mechanisms, leading to cellular abnormalities and forced division. At that time... you wouldn't notice anything at all, and there wouldn't be any obvious symptoms on your body or mind. Our school of thought treats this disease by first identifying the triggering mechanism, the earlier the better. Specifically, I call it 'pulse pattern reversal.' It's different from other patients, but I know you quite well, so this 'pulse pattern reversal' is relatively easier to perform." Bian Mu smiled and briefly introduced his treatment procedure.

Dr. Gong and Dian Shuhua were fine; they stood there quietly listening, carefully taking in every word. It was the first time they had directly treated their first cancer patient with their boss, so they were naturally very attentive. They had to make the most of such a good learning opportunity.

The other medical staff, thinking they were just going through the motions out of respect for Dean Chen, were merely putting on a show to let Bian Mu impress his familiar patients. Once the job was done, they'd simply leave. However…

Everyone was secretly surprised when they heard Bian Muyu clearly explain the first treatment plan.

They knew Bian Mu's name, and they had heard that he never treated cancer patients. They never expected that he would be so ingenious and have such a unique approach to treating mild cancer!

Immediately, people looked at each other and then perked up, involuntarily moving closer together. Everyone strained their ears, afraid of missing even a single keyword. Some who were standing a little further away even secretly recorded the conversation using their phones or voice recorders.

"Oh... from what you're saying, you seem quite confident in treating it..." Overjoyed, Uncle Feng quickly asked.

“Cancer is incurable, a universally acknowledged medical challenge, how could I dare to make such a bold statement! However, cancer can indeed be cured, every year, but the types of cancer vary greatly, and each person's innate gene sequence is also quite different. Auntie is fortunate that the onset period is relatively short, and the location of the lesion is also convenient for medication, so there will definitely be some effect, but at the moment I can't simply predict how far it can be cured! With active cooperation in treatment, she will gradually get better.” Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble!" Uncle Feng said with a smile and a polite greeting.

“Of course, given Auntie’s current condition, initial treatment should at least allow the larger tumor to fall off naturally. As for how long it will take, I rarely see patients like this, so it’s hard to predict.” Bian Mu reassured Aunt Xue and her husband once again.

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong, was taken aback.

Aunt Xue suddenly became quite agitated.

"Really?! Why did the bigger one fall off first? Logically, shouldn't the smaller one next to it fall off first?" Aunt Xue asked hurriedly.

“The smaller lump is the result of cancer, but the root cause isn’t there; it’s just the area where the lesion is visible. The slightly larger lump is currently somewhat restricted, and after a period of treatment, it will most likely fall off first. Once it reaches that stage, we will have initially blocked the nutrient supply to the lesion, at least 70% or more. At that point, you’ll be much more relaxed,” Bian Mu explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again taken aback!
