Chapter 1099: [1099] She is required to give an answer

This is because there are some things that Xie Wanying is still speculating about, not fully confident, with only some evidence being revealed. Teacher Tan and the other teachers and seniors understand her, knowing that some of her thoughts are hidden behind the data and left unsaid.

Her ability is not a Special Ability; it’s mere conjecture, and indeed, she feels she should speak cautiously. Besides, the events of four years ago, she can sense that the wound has left its mark on everyone’s heart here.

What would be the consequences of unveiling it? If Senior Cao were here—Senior Cao would definitely not be afraid to unveil it, because he knows that surgeons are most adept at cutting into wounds to clear the pus; without digging deep to clean it, it will not heal.

With this thought, Xie Wanying firmed her resolve and said, “Whether Teacher Zhang’s disease is simply primary liver cancer needs to be discussed.”

“What is it?” Yu Xuexian was the first to ask her.

“You’re asking her what it is?” Zhu Huicang stopped him and challenged him, “If Teacher Zhang doesn’t have primary liver cancer, what else could it be? Do you believe her nonsense?”

“She has looked at the medical records; how could she be talking nonsense?” Yu Xuexian argued with him.

The others found him strange; they only remembered how he used to shout at Xie Wanying all the time, which seemed to indicate a complete lack of trust in her, yet suddenly he was actively defending her.

“I am clear about her abilities, which is why I’ve been after her since the beginning about Teacher Lu’s illness. I didn’t ask anyone else.” Upon receiving the puzzled looks from the crowd, Yu Xuexian explained.

After hearing his explanation, the group was quite shocked: Ah, what’s with this guy? What is he trying to achieve with his awkward actions and words?

No matter what the others thought, Yu Xuexian turned back to Xie Wanying and said, “Come on, continue speaking, whatever they say doesn’t matter, you just need to know that I want to listen.”

This guy?! Tao Zhijie and others gave Yu Xuexian a wary look.

Zhu Huicang felt that these people were being absurd, only arguing with Xie Wanying: “When Teacher Zhang went for the examination, the tumor was first found in the liver, not anywhere else. How could it not be primary liver cancer?”

“Teacher Zhu might have forgotten, some tumors have relatively concealed primary sites, which are only discovered after metastatic tumors appear. For example, Krukenberg tumors.”

As Xie Wanying uttered these last words, Zhu Huicang suddenly fell silent.

Seeing him instantly shut up, especially Yu Xuexian, they thought: Take a look at your earlier showiness, huh?

Krukenberg tumors are ovarian metastases originating from breast or gastrointestinal tract tumors. The most terrifying thing about this disease is that the presence of other tumors in the body is only discovered when the metastasis is found. Cancer is such that once there’s a metastasis, the survival period is shortened, and the prognosis is poor. This disease is no different.

If the metastasis is from breast cancer, it’s relatively easy to identify the primary site and it is mostly resected, which is better. However, if the metastasis comes from the gastrointestinal tract, it’s relatively more complicated, and it’s rare to find the primary site of the gastrointestinal tumor beforehand, leaving the patient with a survival period of less than one year.

Teacher Zhang’s tumor just happened to have the following characteristics: one, the pathology results showed a highly rare pathological type, and two, the rapid recurrence and metastasis after excision exceeded all doctors’ expectations.

Not excluding other possibilities, Xie Wanying said, “Multiple primary cancers.”

It’s possible that Teacher Zhang has tumors growing in more than one location, with other sites in the body also developing tumors; the two can be completely independent of each other.
