Not long time ago, we heard a piece of bad news that my sister-in-law got oral cancer from my aunt. Cancer, for many people, seems to be an incurable disease. But, in my view, if patient receive appropriate treatment and follow doctors’ instruction, cancer is no need to afraid.
In our common knowledge, people often smoke and eat betel-nuts may get oral cancer more easily than people who don’t. But, my sister-in-law never touches cigarette and betel-nuts. After series of examinations, the doctor said the artificial tooth is the main cause of the oral cancer. An artificial tooth can cause the oral cancer sounds incredible. According to the medical science, artificial teeth can surely lead to oral cancer.
In my mind, if I get any kind of cancer, I would feel helpless toward my life. I may have no desire to do anything. But, my sister-in-law is an optimistic. She thinks cancer is no big deal and she has full confidence to defeat cancer. I really admire her strong will, and I think the strong will is what I should learn.
Ten days ago, my sister-in-law arrived Taipei to have a surgery at NTU Hospital. Before the surgery, my whole family was worried because the surgery is not a easy task and it may last for over twelve hours. After the fourteen hours surgery, she got a new life. Now, she recovers soon and well, and she will leave the hospital in a few weeks. What a wonderful news.
After these days, I think I am lucky because I am healthy. Meanwhile, I don’t need to worry about any disease and face “death”. So life is precious, isn’t it? After this event, I learned a positive attitude toward life and I will cherish my life more than before.
