We are so busy planning for our future and in the mean time living in our past…we forgot just to PAUSE and smell the roses….Living NOW

When I was a teenager, I kept running after the boys….who I thought would become my boyfriend!

When I became an adult, I kept running after the men…who I thought would become my husband/partner!

And NOW, I stop running…and open my heart and soul to receive the people who care about and love me…..they are my parents, my family and friends…I am so blessed that I stop running and start appreciating….it’s that wonderful!

We can run away from our parents but parents will always there for us whenever we need them….that is what you called the unconditional LOVE! If you agree, please press LIKE!

This unconditional love in Chinese called 親情 Qin Qing!

A day after I turned 42, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Grade 4 bladder cancer….what a surprise birthday gift! 16 years ago on my birthday, my late brother was diagnosed with leukemia. He passed away after 6 months of chemotherapy. My doctors told me they were unable to cure me….as my cancer is an aggressive type. The statistic with chemotherapy treatment is 45% in 5 years. I refused chemotherapy because of my brother. So, I asked if I don’t do anything, what would happen? My doctor told me….if I don’t do anything, after 3 months, my cancer will spread to every parts of my body. I told my doctor, 3 months, I still have plenty of time to find a solution. So..I rejected the death sentence and went searching for solution……..My cancer journey start ….. This blog is about my exciting cancer journey which helps me to discover and reassess my life, my relationship with my family, my so-called career goal, my diet, my view, my belief…..everything…..for the past 2 years… I wish it will help everyone to look at illness as a blessing and opportunity to heal rather than seeing yourself as a victim.
