Academic studies should not involve personal emotions [328]

"The growth rate of your tumor is too rapid. Don't be fooled by her not having the enlarged abdomen like other sick children, but other cases are discovered late. Hers wasn't discovered late. It's highly malignant. You might want to start with chemotherapy first."

"Chemotherapy is needed, but only after surgery can be done. I've done my research, that says this type of disease must be surgically removed first; otherwise, it's not effective."

"The problem is that it's very difficult to remove it completely. It's a multifocal tumor. The doctors at the children's hospital should have advised you the same, to try chemotherapy first to see the situation, then discuss whether surgery is an option. Being anxious is of no use."

As Father Yazhi said this, he realized begging was useless, and so probably was kneeling. The male doctor before him was like a block of ice, immovable, only discussing medical issues without talking about human emotions.
