Next day.
Now Abbey, Rico and Alma are in the hospital to check on Alma's condition. As the new hospital that will treat Alma, the new hospital had to re-examine Alma's condition so that Alma had his own medical records even though Abbey had brought medical records from the old hospital.
Medical records that Abbey brought showed that in one cycle of chemotherapy, Alma should do the treatment for one week, it's only been two days that Alma finished because Alma's body temperature was suddenly high heat and couldn't continue the third day of treatment until the seventh day. Which means Alma has to repeat the first cycle again.
"The first cycle failed well, so we're going to repeat the first cycle" Alma said.
"Why is that doc? If I have to repeat pity my son, Doc. Just two days ago he had no appetite and his body was limp."
"Yes how else Madam, the chemotherapy treatment cycle should not be interrupted even if only one day. So if it is interrupted one day, it means having to repeat from the first day. If the first cycle is successful, then three weeks of rest, then enter the second cycle, and so continue until the cancer cells are declared dead." replied the doctor.
Seeing Abbey's concern, Rico clasped Abbey's cold sweat hands to give the Abbey strength.
"So when can you repeat the first cycle, doc?" ask Rico.
"We'll be back next month" replied the doctor.
"So now our son can rest at home?" ask Rico.
"Actually it can, but his body temperature is quite high, so for today we take care of it here, all we observe first" replied the doctor.
Abbey's drowning.
Seeing Abbey limp, Rico immediately pulled Abbey in his arms.
"Strong yourself Bey for Alma, if you're weak like this, Alma must be sad too. Let's be strong yok." said Rico while stroking the Abbey's back.
"Right Madam, you must be strong. Because the greatest strength of a child is to see his parents are also strong" said the doctor.
"The first and second cycles are a bit heavy, not only your children fail, many also fail not only young children, adults also often fail to pass this cycle. But later in the third cycle and so on believe me, their bodies will start to get used to it." said the doctor.
Abbey just nodded her head.
"Then we'll excuse yourself" Abbey said.
Abbey and Rico stood up from their seats and walked out of the doctor's office.
Just a few steps from the doctor's room, Rico suddenly stopped his footsteps and took out his wallet.
"Here, use this card to take care of administration." Rico gave his black card to Abbey.
"Where are you going?" Ask Abbey.
"Something I wanted to ask the doctor, I forgot to ask" Rico replied.
"I'll come, then." said Abbey.
"No, you take care of the administration. Pity Alma, he must be tired" replied Rico.
Inevitably Abbey took Rico's black card and continued to take care of the administration. Rico went back to the doctor's office.
"Get in." replied the doctor from the inside.
Chequek. Rico opened the door.
"What's wrong?" ask the doctor when he sees Rico coming back into his study.
"I'm sorry my doctor interfered, but there's something important I want to ask the doctor" Rico said.
"Please ask me what." replied the doctor.
"In addition to chemotherapy are there other treatments?" ask Rico.
"There is, with a spinal cord donor" replied the doctor.
"Can real fathers be donors?" ask Rico.
"Can, but the match rate is only one percent even less. Which means the healing rate is also not optimal. We usually suggest with siblings because the match rate is above twenty percent which means the cure rate is also high" replied the doctor.
"If the healing rate is smaller does not mean closing the possibility that the child can be cured, right if you get a donor from his biological father, Doc?" ask Rico.
"Yes right, it does not rule out the possibility." replied the doctor.
"In that case, I'd like to donate my spinal cord" Rico said.
"You serious?" ask doctor.
"I'm very serious doc. For the sake of my son, let alone the spinal cord, my life was willing to sacrifice for my son." said Rico.
"Then, you read the procedure and the risks and if you agree, you can sign a statement. After that we just do an examination on you, what is your spinal cord good to donate." Answer doctor.
"So when can the inspection begin after I sign the affidavit?" ask Rico.
"Don't be in a hurry, sir, my advice, you should read and learn first as well as signing a statement" replied the doctor.
Rico nodded his head.
"Okay doc, I'll read and study first" Rico replied.
"Sus, give the procedure and the risk of a spinal cord donor to this Master" said the doctor to his assistant.
"Okay doc." replied the nurse.
"Let's come, come with me." take me first.
Rico and the nurse came out of the doctor's office.
