When Love Should Determine
Chapter 70

That's right, Larissa's guess. From the results of Usg the doctor read, the disease he suffered worsened. The lump in the breast next to his kirin is getting bigger, even now the lump is two. Which are the two bumps against each other.

Larissa closed her eyes. A drop of tears fell down her cheek. 'Oh my God, why is it like this? But I am also grateful, at least my disease is still classified as a harmless disease' he murmured in the heart.

Larissa raised her head. "So, how's the next move, doc?."

"The fastest way is to do the surgical removal of the lump."

"Is there no other way, Doc? With drugs, for example?."

"could. But it takes a relatively longer time."

Larissa hush. I think he is still hesitant to make a decision. Many things are considered, one of which is the husband.

Seeing the silence of Larissa the doctor could understand if he was currently worried. "If you are not ready for surgery, you can postpone it first. You can come back here when you're ready."

"Is it true that there is no other way out that can accelerate my recovery without surgery, doc?."

"Unfortunately it doesn't exist" the doctor shook his head. A friendly smile on his face. "As I said earlier, the only way to speed healing is only by surgery."

"One thing you should remember, the longer you delay surgery, the bigger the lump. So think about this well at home" he added.

"But, doc, it used to be when I was pregnant that the lump disappeared by itself."

"That's not true, ma'am. The tumor cannot be removed if it is not removed. Maybe at that time the weight of the mother can be said to be fat, so the lump is covered by fat tissue around it. So that the mother can not detect the lump and assume it has disappeared. But actually if seen with the ultrasound tool, the lump will be visible."

Larissa fell silent. What the doctor said was true. He used to be a little fat. But as soon as he felt the lump reappear which was accompanied by pain, he lost almost half his body weight. Moreover, coupled with the many problems he faced lately. So that he increasingly lost his appetite and had an impact on drastic weight loss.

"Actually the cause of FAM(Fibro Adenoma Mammae) is what the hell, doc?."

"For the causative factor, it is not known with certainty. But because this disease often appears in women with productive age, then we assume if this disease is related to the activity of the hormone estrogen. Which would be exacerbated by the use of contraceptives."

"I did use a three-month injection type contraceptive after giving birth, doc. That time nothing happened. But after I switched to one monthly injection, this lump appeared."

"It's not really because of a month or three months, ma'am. Because in fact all contraceptives work by affecting the work of natural hormones in the body, such as estrogen and progesterone. Precisely the use of contraceptive injection type three months more trigger this FAM disease than one monthly injection. Probably when the mother used the injection three months this disease already exists, but the new mother felt it when using the injection one month."

"Then what distinguishes FAM from other types of breast lumps, doc? like cancer for example."

"The characteristics of the FAM are that the bump has a firm edge. The structure is solid and chewy and can be moved. This lump does not cause pain, but in some severe cases it does cause pain. In cancer, the lump cannot be moved. Well these characteristics are what distinguishes FAM from other lumps."

Larissa mangosteen heard the explanation at length of the doctor. A little bit he began to understand this disease.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" ask the doctor after a while Larissa did not open her voice.

"Good! In the meantime I will prescribe medication to relieve the pain first. And mom can think about my advice well at home later" concluded the doctor.

"Yes, doc, thank you so much!"

"Together."

"I'll excuse you then."

"Come, please!."

Larissa got up from her seat and immediately walked out of the room.

...****************...

On the way home, Larissa was quieter. He was still thinking with the words of the doctor at the hospital earlier. Before going to the hospital Larissa said she was ready to undergo surgery. But upon arrival there and undergoing a series of examinations he hesitated again. I don't know what made him doubt it.

Larissa and Hamzah arrived home. But Larissa is still worried and loyal to his silence.

Hamzah who from the beginning did not agree if Larissa had surgery did not waste this. He took advantage of his wife's doubts by influencing her mind to change her mind.

"What I said. Didn't I ask you to undergo alternative medicine. But you want to go to the hospital. Now that you've been there, why are you doubting?" said it.

"See, Entik. I'm just not sure about my decision."

"Then it's better to go back to alternative medicine. It's relatively safer. Moreover, there have been many people with the same disease as you who get healing after undergoing alternative medicine there."

The place of alternative medicine that Hamzah means is a place where he studied mind and practiced martial arts during this time. During his studies there he often saw people with various diseases undergoing treatment. And most of them claim to get healing after several times undergoing treatment. That's why he wants Larissa to undergo treatment there. In the hope of getting healing like other patients.

For a moment Larissa thought of her husband's words. And not long after, he nodded his head and agreed. "All right! I'll go back to alternative medicine as you wish."

"Are you really talking about what you said?" ask Hamzah. I want to make sure what his wife says is true.

Back Larissa nodded her head to make sure her husband was right with her words earlier. "Yes, Entik. I'm serious about what I said."

hearing Larissa's decision, Hamzah was happy half to die. He pranced and hugged his wife. "Thank you, baby. You finally want to obey my words. I promise, I will always accompany you during the treatment there later" he said.

Larissa smiled a faint smile at how pleased Hamzah was with her decision. 'May what you say be true, Entik. I just hope, hopefully I will also get a cure soon after undergoing treatment there."

"Then you rest first. Later in the night we will go there" said Hamzah after being satisfied to vent his joy.

Larissa nodded her head. And without lingering he immediately rested because he was tired after the trip.
