ONG CHOON MOY:“ No matter what kind of cancer you got, please be strong and confident. Treat cancer with normalcy, hold back the pain and defeat it.”

ONG CHOON MOY, an ordinary housewife, stays at home taking care of her two children. Her husband works hard to earn money to support his family. Although they are poor, they live a happy life. ONG CHOON MOY has been suffered from cough and stomachache since 2014. In the early stage, ONG CHOON MOY just took it as common stomach illness. However, the unbearable pain urged her to hospital to take further examination. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Just like most cancer patients, it was hard for ONG CHOON MOY to accept the fact that she got lung cancer. This news was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. She did not cry, because she knew that it wouldn’t help, but only made her feel worse. She took chemotherapy and radiotherapy in a local hospital of Malaysia. The side effects brought by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, such as pain, vomiting, hair losing, made her suffer a lot. She felt even worse when knowing that her condition did not turn better after taking dozen times of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, her tumor just shrank 1%. At that time, she run out of all her savings.

ONG CHOON MOY mentioned that fighting against cancer is so difficult that she almost give up.

After the symposium, Professor Peng Xiaochi, the chief oncologist of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, gave her some therapeutic recommendations.
