Facing the TRIALS of your own life here, translated…
I’d, originally, imagined, that after I’d had my removal surgery, everything will be, fixed up perfectly; but, as the doctor looked at my biopsy report, and his face sank deeper and deeper, I’d felt, that something wasn’t right.
“We’d confirmed, that the tumor is, malignant, let’s talk about the possible treatment measures now.”
On that day, it was, my elderly father, and my younger brother who’s a pediatrician who’s accompanied me to the appointment. And, as my younger brother explained the medical jargons to me, what went through my mind, the words I couldn’t mumble out was: why me?
On the way home, I’d called up my wife who taught her classes in Kaohsiung, I’d told her, in a tone of desperation, about the results. And, although I couldn’t see her face, but I could hear that steadiness in her tone of voice, “Follow the doctor’s orders, and you will be fine, let’s work together to beat this!”
With the encouragements and supports from my loved ones, I’d become, braver, and faced up to the treatments of my cancer. And, in a blink of an eye, two years had passed, and now, I’d restricted my own diets, and exercised regularly, and, the three-month follow-ups, I’d, passed with ease. And, the words I couldn’t say from when I first got diagnosed became, “Cherish every single day of life”!
So, this, is the initial reaction of someone being told that he has cancer, and, it’s normal, to fall into the downward spiral, to feel helpless in that situation, but, because of this man’s family’s supportiveness, he’d, beaten his cancer, and became healthy, and, as he got his health returned back to him, he’d, changed his attitude too.
