Story of a Cancer Survivor

Feb. 21, 2011

(Clearwisdom.net) A woman from northeast China, whose name we have withheld out of safety concerns, was being treated for thyroid cancer at a city hospital. Because the cancer had invaded her trachea, the doctor performed a tracheotomy. She was unable to speak clearly for two weeks thereafter, and even a month later, she was not able to speak as she did before.

After the operation, complications caused tremendous breathing difficulties for her. She suffered from insufficient oxygen and coughing. The doctors tried every means to help her, but no treatment or medication worked. They told the family to take her home, because they could not do anything else for her. Moreover, a biopsy of the trachea tissue indicated that the cancer had spread to other parts of her body. Some doctors said that she only had three months to live, and her family started preparing a funeral for her.

Out of desperation, she started to recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” which her daughter, a Falun Dafa practitioner, had taught her. This woman kept reciting these words. When she was unable to breathe due to severe coughing, in her mind she asked the Falun Dafa founder to help her. Soon she was able to catch her breath.

At that time, she also began to read Zhuan Falun and practice the five Falun Dafa exercises. Miraculously, her health has started to improve. Now, she has the energy to make three meals a day and perform housework, as well as take care of her paralyzed husband. She is very grateful to Master Li Hongzhi and Falun Dafa for giving her a second life. She asked a fellow practitioner with access to the Internet to wish Master a Happy Chinese New Year on the Clearwisdom website.
