(Clearwisdom.net) It may be hard to imagine that this article was written by a leukemia patient who was given a death sentence by a hospital a few years ago. But here I am, writing this article. This is because Falun Dafa gave me a new lease on life, allowing me to return to a full life.
I was a village teacher with a wonderful family. But, in April 2006, I felt out of sorts and not my usual self. I had frequent colds, coughed, had a yellowish complexion, red spots on my body, and felt physically weak. Medication and injections were useless. I was diagnosed with leukemia and given a 20 percent chance of being cured. Additionally, medical expenses generally are very high for this kind of illness. I was petrified, as I was still young. The question, “How could my life end like this?” kept turning over in my mind.
I wanted to have a long life, just like everyone else. My family didn't want to lose me. We inquired about treatments, and the doctor suggested chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants. Alas, the survival rate is only around 20 percent. They gave me about three months without treatment.
The cost for such treatments is exorbitant. Bone marrow transplants cost between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan. This kind of money is simply astronomical and out of reach for a rural person, so I chose chemotherapy. After a protocol of chemotherapy my disease was temporarily in remission, but the side effects of the drugs affected my health.
Six months later, during one of my periodic exams, it was found that I'd relapsed. The doctor said that when there is a relapse of leukemia, a cure is almost at 0 percent, and I was asked to continue chemotherapy. By then my family had spend about 90,000 yuan in medical costs, and they had become impoverished. Also, I was too weak to continue chemotherapy. So, I went to Beijing to see a doctor who practiced Chinese medicine. He didn't give me any hope, either.
When I was desperate, one of my relatives brought me a set of Falun Gong books and some flyers that spoke about the facts of Falun Gong. They suggested that I sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Without holding any thoughts, I kept repeating these words, and without realizing it, my health gradually turned for the better and I became stronger. Also, my hair that I lost during chemotherapy grew back and I again had rosy cheeks. This showed me the power of Falun Dafa, strengthening my belief. I slowly stepped on the cultivation path and became a Falun Gong practitioner.
After practicing Falun Gong for three months, my family asked me to be tested at the hospital. The doctors said that I'd returned to good health.
Now, I'm teaching again. My relatives, friends, and neighbors witnessed the miracle by seeing me return to good health. They saw with their own eyes the power of Falun Dafa.
It is impossible to repay such a great kindness. What can do, with the rest of my life that Falun Dafa has given me? I can tell the world's people that Falun Gong is good!
