(Clearwisdom.net) I was very fortunate to be able to obtain the Fa in 2005 when I was fighting to survive cancer. It was Teacher that pulled me back from the brink of death.

Please allow me to tell you about my story from the beginning.

In January 2001 I was unfortunately diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I had surgery in a city hospital and started chemotherapy after the surgery. There were three stages of the chemotherapy and during each stage I had to take different medication. I thought that I had been completely cured. Little did I expect that I would be diagnosed with colorectal cancer again in the late autumn of 2005. Moreover, the cancer had spread to my ovaries. I started to have ascites. I went to several large hospitals in the city for medical exams, but all the hospitals told me the same thing--I had late-term cancer beyond treatment.

I was devastated by the news. My entire family was terribly saddened and in tears. I was the rock in the family. My husband is a simple and honest man. I ran everything in the family. My mother-in-law, who is nearly 90 years old, also relied on my care. Hence, all the generations in my family asked the doctor to do another operation on me, but the hospital insisted that there would be little hope of survival even if I had another surgical procedure. They feared that it would only be a waste of money. My family sank into the depths of despair.

In my darkest hour, a Falun Gong practitioner in the village called on me. When she saw my condition, she told me how miraculous Falun Gong is and how Teacher cleansed the bodies of Falun Gong practitioners. Taking her as an example, she used to suffer from severe heart disease. Since she started practicing Falun Gong, she has been completely free of heart disease. In fact, she said she has never felt better. What she said gave my family and me hope. However, it was difficult for me to practice Falun Gong exercises at first because of ascites. Even a drink of water made me feel stuffed in the abdomen, not to mention eating. After repeated discussions with my family, I decided to have an operation first before I started to study the Fa and practice Falun Gong exercises. Before I went to the hospital, fellow practitioners gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun.

When I was about to be sent to the operating room, I had no fear. On the contrary, I felt as though I had someone to rely on. But when I turned around, I saw my children and relatives sobbing. It was a sight beyond description.

After eight hours, I woke up in a hospital bed. My family told me that over 10 lbs. of fluid was removed. A few days later, my daughter helped me sit up. After just a few minutes, fluid started to drip from the stitched wound. The worst had happened. My daughter was frightened and began to cry. The doctor announced that the surgery probably failed and the wound was not healing. Finally I told my daughter, "Stop crying. It is fate. We should resign ourselves to fate. You have done all you can for me. I will die contented."

From that day on, I often chanted "Falun Gong is good" while lying on my death bed. Because the doctors had decided that I would soon die, they didn't pay much attention when they performed routine checks. About 10 days later, a nurse was dressing my wound when she said, "It is strange. Fluid continues to come out of the wound, but it is now healing." My children were excited at the news. In hindsight, I realized that Teacher had already cleansed my body. A few days later, I checked out of the hospital. I recovered gradually after I returned home. It was because of the Fa's mighty virtue and Teacher's compassion.

After that I started to study the Fa and practice the Falun Gong exercises. Then I started to attend group Fa study and Falun Gong exercise group practice. I started to feel great. Walking became very easy to me. It was easy for me to walk a long distance. I helped when my husband tended the paddies. One day my grandson was very mischievous. He threw a freshly laundered bed quilt on the ground. I was very angry at him. I tried to catch my grandson and give him a lesson, but I fell and broke my left wrist. A fellow practitioner repositioned my bones. I continued to study the Fa and practice the Falun Gong exercises. The fracture healed in just two months.

In June 2006, I started to feel uncomfortable. I felt pain in my abdomen at times and experienced vaginal bleeding. I was a little afraid, but I dared to tell my family. I decided that I would prevail all tests with Teacher's protection. A few days later a gauze about 15 cm long came out of my vagina. It must have been inside for eight months since the surgery. It was full of filth and stench. It was because of the Fa's miracle and Teacher's compassion that it came out of my body.

I suppose that I must have a lot of karma because the old forces repeatedly attempted to drag me off my cultivation path. Combined with my lack of diligence in my Fa study, I collapsed again on January 20, 2006. I felt pain and congestion in my abdomen. It appeared that I had ascites again. The hospital diagnosed a tumor of 13 cms in my lower abdomen. I also had high fever. The hospital estimated 50,000 yuan for the surgery that would be required. My children were very anxious because we didn't have the money. I stood up and told my daughter determinedly, "Let's go home. The hospital cannot cure my illness. The hospital can only push it forward, but cannot cure me completely. With the protection from Falun Gong and Teacher, I fear nothing." My daughter then took me home.

Since that day my health improved gradually. I study the Fa and practice Falun Gong exercises daily. My husband has been very supportive. He takes care of all the chores for me. I don't need to do anything except study the Fa and practice the Falun Gong exercises. Thus I become increasingly healthy every day. I started to do grocery shopping. When I run into friends from school and acquaintances, I tell them Falun Gong has cured me of my illnesses and Teacher saved Falun Gong practitioners out of His compassion. They have now developed a better understanding of Falun Gong and now believe Falun Gong is good. One of my relatives is a cadre in the Chinese Communist government. He didn't know anything about Falun Gong. Having witnessed my recovery, he now has a good impression of Falun Gong. Two of my relatives have been persuaded to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its two affiliated student leagues.

Every time I recall the turmoils in the past few years, I wonder how I managed to survive. I was in tears when I wrote this article. I hope all the predestined people in the world will start practicing Falun Gong.
