Happy Birthday To Me
Happy Birthday To Me - 37

...🕯️🕯️🕯️...

"Yes, that's a sign you're forbidden to smile with God. Laughter is sick especially not bad," he chanted to make Syifa laugh again and the umpteenth time he again grimaced trying to withstand the pain that was on his head.

"Patient in the name of Syifa?"

The sound made Lena and Syifa's laughter stop. The two looked at the doctor holding a paper there.

both of Lena's eyes rounded her face so sparkling as she looked at the figure of the man who was stepping in.

"Syifa that's what I mean. The handsome doctor, my dream," he whispered while elbowing Syifa's body made Syifa take a sharp glance.

"Yes, my own doc," replied Syifa.

The doctor named Bryan smiled making Lena squeeze Syifa's arm hard as if so unable to bear to see the handsome face of the man in the white suit.

"The EEG examination has come out" he said, looking down at the paper in his hand.

"Where, doc my friend's checkup? He's okay, right?"

"Nobody got hurt? Nothing broke? Cracked or missing?" the Oceh Lena and quickly being elbowed by Syifa made Lena turn her head.

"Kok, you're like that, anyway?"

"Gue's worried. Your head hurts after being knocked to the floor, so I'm afraid you're sick like this because of an injury to the head."

"If there is an injury, I will take the case to the police. I won't let him escape. Yeah, right, doctor?" she smiled sweetly at Dr. Bryan.

Not answering. The doctor just smiled making Lena blush her cheeks even more.

"Where did the doc go the same?" asked Syifa who then fell silent waiting for Bryan's doctor to speak.

"It seems like this is very serious. Can you meet Syifa's parents?"

Hearing that made Lena and Syifa look at each other.

"Sorry doctor but Mama Syifa was busy working and her father was busy working. Yeah, is it Syifa?"

Syifa nodded. Doctor Bryan was silent for a long time and it made Syifa and Lena then look at each other.

"What's up, doc?" ask Syifa.

"I'd like to read the results of the examination but I'd like it if your parents knew."

"What is Syifa really sick, doctor?"

Doctor Bryan stepped forward to approach Lena and Syifa who were still silent there.

"This is the result of the examination," said Bryan's doctor and then stick a paper toward Lena making Lena quickly open it.

Syifa was silent looking at the look on Lena's face that looked so very anxious that even her face looked beautiful. He remained silent for a long time and looked towards Syifa with his eyes round.

"Why, Lan? Don't make Syifa afraid, dong Len!"

Lena fell silent.

"Why is the same?"

"Shyifa!" lena's words made Syifa take a sip of her saliva.

"What?"

"I swear I didn't understand the reading. This what?" she made Syifa pierce her lips in annoyance.

Syifa thought Lena knew what the results were.

"This is how maybe this can be directly reported to both parents or can directly call your parents to the hospital."

"But just information that the patient whose name is listed in the EEG results that Syifa has brain cancer," he continued.

"Well?!!!" startled Syifa and Lena simultaneously.

"Yes, Syifa cancer has entered stage 3," he said making Syifa's eyes rounded.

He closed his lips that were opened not expecting what Bryan's doctor had said.

"Len!" syifa whispered, making Lena look down at Syifa's paled face.

"What's right, doctor? Don't joke, you!"

"It's serious. All these results have been passed by examination several times but the results still indicate that the patient has brain cancer."

"The patient has gone through an electroencephalogram or EEG. This was done by recording electrical activity in the brain using electrodes on the scalp and we found if there were cancer cells there."

"We also did not expect," he then turned to look at Syifa who was now silent.

"Well, how do I get my friend healed?"

"There are several ways that are generally done by us to treat and cure brain cancer diseases such as surgical removal of cancer cells, radiotherapy or chemotherapy and certain drugs."

"Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide."

"Huh!!!" the scream of Lena that managed to make Syifa and doctor Bryan gasped in shock.

"Hust! Lena's a shock, huh!" tegur Syifa's.

"Shock me."

"Cancer often causes death because it generally does not cause symptoms at the beginning of its development, so it is only detected and treated after reaching an advanced stage.

"Both benign or malignant tumors can appear in any part of the body, such as the liver, breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, stomach, cervix, bladder, thyroid, lymph, and many more."

"Brain cancer can be caused by the spread of cancer from other organ cancers that we commonly know as secondary brain cancer or metastasis."

"Cancer cells spread through blood vessels, lymphatic channels or through the lining of the cavity covering the organ in order to survive. Because it is so numerous, the immune system has difficulty eradicating it entirely so that secondary cancer is formed."

"Cancer can also start in the brain organs, then divide and multiply in these organs and we usually know the name of primary brain cancer."

"Advanced brain cancer means the cancer has spread to other organs such as the spinal cord" he continued.

"So that means cancer in Syifa's brain too?" ask Lena.

"Looks."

Hearing that made Lena exhale long he looked down at Syifa who is still staring.

"Keep well besides surgery in what way?"

"As I said earlier, one of the treatments is chemotherapy."

"Chemotherapy?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Keep if for example Syifa in chemotherapy there is a certain effect is not, anyway doc?"

"In general, the effects of chemotherapy caused by each person can be influenced by several factors such as age, lifestyle, and a history of previous health problems."

"One person may experience excruciating pain, while in others, the same drug may not cause significant side effects."

"The side effects of chemotherapy may be explained so that later patients are not surprised after chemotherapy treatment takes place."

"The first is hair loss. One of the side effects of chemotherapy that may be experienced by someone undergoing this treatment is hair loss."

"Can't you, doc?"

"Hair loss that occurs due to chemotherapy is caused by the use of certain types of drugs for chemotherapy. Usually, hair loss occurs a few weeks after the first course of chemotherapy."

"Syifa means you will be bald" whispered Lena while Syifa

"In addition there are also digestive disorders, dry mouth, fertility disorders, anemia, fatigue and shortness of breath."

"Loves memory and concentration. Chemotherapy can affect memory and concentration, as well as time disorientation for some people. Patients will feel if the daily routine takes more time to complete. However, these symptoms will disappear after treatment is completed."

Hearing that, Lena bit the tip of her fingernail and hugged Syifa's wrist, which is still silent.

"Yes, horrified at the effect. Do you want chemotherapy?" he whispered after hearing the doctor's explanation.

"Should it be, doctor chemotherapy?" tanya Syifa finally spoke.

"What else is there to do if you don't want chemotherapy, you have to have surgery."

"But Syifa is scared, doc."

"The only way is that, chemotherapy."

"Do your best for my doctor friend. If you want to be treated, therapy, is it Syifa?" asked Lena with her scared face.

"Before that we have to take care of the files first. Then excuse me first," he said then stepped out.

"Shyifa!" lena made Syifa look over.

"Where, dong? I'm so scared."

"Lena, just calm down! Everything will be fine, really," Syifa said trying to calm down although honestly he also felt very anxious.

"Oh, yes Syif."

"Emm?"

"Lu see no, the doctor's face? It's a real handsome, right? Same thing I said. White, tall and clean. Oh this is my type," his own echo makes Syifa's face now flat.

"Crazy, yes Lena, at a time like this Lena can praise the doctor."

"Yes, besides the doctor, the wrong thing. Have a face, really handsome. What's the name, huh?"
