Colon Cancer

Gone through another Twelve Years

Afterwards, the side effects of chemotherapy were significantly reduced.

I had a Surgery Without Knowing the Truth

I was strong in the past. When I was young, my greatest wish was to become a soldier; for some reason I could not make my wish come true. Later, I opened a small convenience store to make a living and raise my four children. In mid-1998, I was 63 years old. My body continuously had some signs: persistent diarrhea, blood in the stool (sometimes it is pieces of blood clots, sometimes I defecated blood) and weight loss. I had been reluctant to go to a hospital. On August 31, 1998, my son who was working in an outside city came my home for a visit. When he knew I was sick, he insisted on bringing me to the hospital in Malacca for testing.

 

On the next day, September 1, the doctor did not tell me the results. He privately told my wife I had stage III colon cancer. My bladder had been infected; my situation was very serious and I needed surgery soon. My wife concealed the fact that I had cancer and she told me it was a bowel obstruction and I would have surgery. 2 days later, I had the removal surgery to remove the tumor and a part of my colon as well as the infected areas nearby and lymphatic vessels. I stayed in the hospital for 15 days. My 3 children were busy with work, and my youngest kid was still in school. My wife did not want my kids to worry too much about me; therefore, she only told my older daughter about my cancer. No other relative or friend knew about it.      

 

By the end of October 1998, I began six months of chemotherapy. I started to have side effects caused from the chemo treatment: I lost all my hair, I had a lot of eye mucus every day in the morning when I woke up and could not open my eyes. I was suffering from hemorrhoids. My whole body felt uncomfortable and extremely fatigued.    

Calmly Face Cancer and be Yourself

Coincidentally, my older daughter saw an article about Tian Xian Liquid in “Asia Weekly,” 《亚洲周刊》and knew that the compound Chinese herb medicine could relieve the cancerous symptoms and reduce the side effects of the chemotherapy. It could also prolong the life of terminally ill cancer patients. At that moment, I did not clearly understand my own illness and the chemotherapy. I did not even know what kind of medicine the doctor used on me, and no idea that drugs could be so harmful. My daughter assured me and encouraged me to take Tian Xian Liquid to boost my immunity. Afterwards, the side effects of chemotherapy were significantly reduced. I had no more diarrhea, no vomiting and I did not need to take the antiemetic pills. My doctor felt strange and asked me if I had taken any other drugs. I frankly told him aboutTian Xian Liquid. He did not say no but it seemed like he acquiesced to it. I believed he rarely met a situation like that.

 

During the six months of chemotherapy, I maintained my health very well. I didn’t always stay at home. Contrarily, I went out often and was hanging out with my friends as usual. I was bald but I did not wear a hat. Be yourself. When my friends asked me, I would tell them I had colon cancer. I did not trying to hide, blame or sigh. I knew that if I was in a bad mood, I would affect my family. It was no help to me as well. It was an inevitable fact and I must accept it. The doctor told me to eat anything I wanted. But my thoughtful wife was worried that the food from restaurants was no good for me, so she made the best meals for me every day at home.

             

After I completed the six months of chemotherapy, the screening test I did in the hospital showed that the cancer cells in my body were cleaned up. And my body was not as weak as I expected. In fact, I was in great health. My friends and relatives were surprised by my current healthy condition. On one hand, I keep a regular life and healthy diet, on the other hand, I still continue to take a low dose of Tian Xian Liquid to prevent the cancer from recurring. I need to thank my 3 filial children for all they have done for me. The result of each annual test has been normal. There are many health care products, but I still think Tian Xian Liquid has given me the biggest help. My wife and I often share my story and experiences with other cancer friends to help more cancer patients.

When I Unconditionally Give to Others I Can Forget My Pain

I am very grateful for my wife's support and care. She is a kind and gentle mother, a devout Buddhist and has the strongest faith that I rely on in my life. She is a volunteer helping others in need. Before, my wife always reminded me and said, “Life is unpredictable.” When you can accept things, you can see through it, and the people around can give you a hand. She always encourages me not to treat myself like a patient because there are a lot of people worse than me. I have learned that she was keeping the secret that I had cancer and had taken the burden alone with tears. She said, “Sometimes I am tired and cannot sleep,” and then she furtively whimpered, “I will be back to normal next time.” Now I know, I was the patient who got sick, but I was able to fall asleep. Actually, my wife was the one who suffered the most. 

 

Time flies and 12 years are gone. We have had some friends pass away due to cancer. Ironically, I am healthy and alive. Remember all I have gone through. I know how lucky I am. After I recovered, I have been living in a peaceful life with freedom. I never let cancer hinder my daily life. I go out to do whatever I like to do every day. I like to be a volunteer to help others. When I unconditionally give to others I can forget my pain. I believe that the more good deeds you do, the more luck and favor will return as rewards. For others, yourself is a blessing.
