I am Xu Ruying, a staff member at the Medan International Service Center of St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. Initially, I joined the hospital with a professional focus on providing quality services. Over time, my role has evolved, and I have come to realize the profound significance of our work. Despite numerous challenges, I firmly believe that every effort we make is invaluable in helping patients and their families navigate through difficult times, guiding them toward appropriate treatment options, and ultimately saving lives. The following account details the anti-cancer journey of Mr. and Mrs. Kornel.

When I first met Mr. Kornel, his nasopharyngeal cancer had already developed to the advanced stage.

Our first meeting took place at the "We Fight, We Win" anti-cancer sharing session on July 21, 2018. By then, he had been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer for more than a year. His wife, Ms. Mei Li, who works in the medical field, was acutely aware of the adverse effects of chemotherapy and consequently harbored significant fear and anxiety towards conventional treatments. As a result, Mr. Kornel delayed seeking treatment until his condition deteriorated further, with the tumor continuing to grow and cancer cells spreading to the liver and lymph nodes.

At that time, their child was only two years old. During the sharing session, Ms. Mei Li repeatedly expressed to me the immense pain caused by her husband's illness, often breaking into tears. They were visibly distressed and felt extremely helpless. Witnessing their predicament, I felt compelled to offer whatever assistance I could.

Fortunately, during the consultation organized by the International Service Center, many patients who shared similar concerns about traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as those with metastatic tumors, achieved favorable outcomes and improved quality of life after receiving integrated minimally invasive treatments. This success provided renewed hope for Mr. Kornel’s family, leading them to decide on treatment at St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou.

Struggle leads to triumph, minimally invasive treatment conquers cancer. 

After Mr. Kornel and his wife made the decision to seek treatment in Guangzhou, I promptly arranged their visa and flight bookings. I liaised extensively with the hospital beforehand to ensure Mr. Kornel could commence anti-tumor treatment as swiftly as possible. As they prepared to depart, I accompanied them to the airport, offering words of encouragement: "Please remain optimistic and confident. The hospital's expert team will provide you with the most appropriate treatment. We eagerly await your return in good health."

Upon arrival in Guangzhou, anticipating potential discomfort in an unfamiliar environment, I maintained daily communication with them, providing constant support and encouragement, assisting with doctor consultations, and ensuring their peace of mind and smooth transition. 

The MDT devised a comprehensive treatment plan centered on interventional therapy. Following the first interventional session, there was a significant reduction in the liver tumor; after the second treatment, the neck mass also diminished substantially; and after the third treatment, examinations confirmed that the cancer cells had been completely “eradicated”. Upon receiving this news, both Mr. Kornel and I were overjoyed. Just as the theme of the first anti-cancer sharing session he attended, "We Fight, We Win," exemplifies, through courageous perseverance, He finally succeeded in beating cancer!

With the warm sunshine in mind, we fight cancer together and witness the success together

After Mr. and Mrs. Kornel returned to Indonesia, we developed a close friendship, frequently exchanging greetings, sharing meals, and visiting each other. Whenever Mr. Kornel received new examination results, he promptly shared them with me, and I assisted him in communicating with his attending physician as soon as possible. Over the years, Mr. Kornel has maintained a high quality of life, which further reinforces my belief that minimally invasive treatments exemplify the advancements in modern medical technology, offering safer and more effective options for cancer patients with fewer side effects.

Mr. and Mrs. Kornel also actively participated in our anti-cancer sharing session. With great warmth and enthusiasm, they shared their experiences and offered encouragement to other cancer patients. Personally, I am deeply appreciative of their efforts in bringing hope to other patients. Surrounded by love and support, they are not alone on their journey to fight cancer!

Become a role model for others and complete the mission of fighting cancer together

In November 2024, I had the honor to participate in the "Anti-cancer Stars Return to the Base" event with Mr. and Mrs. Kornel. Looking back on the six-year journey, I was able to accompany him to overcome difficulties and witness him and his family regain happiness. All the efforts became worthwhile.

Although at first, I regarded the job of a consultant as a daily responsibility to help patients overcome the difficulties of treatment. But after going through a difficult but happy anti-cancer journey with Mr. and Mrs. Kornel, my state of mind changed. Watching him defeat cancer and regain "health", I understand that this is no longer a job, but a mission.

Today, Mr. Kornel’s anti-cancer story continues to inspire more cancer patients, and his courage and tenacity also inspire me deeply.

I hope Mr. Kornel will always be "healthy" and that he can be a beacon for other cancer patients, illuminating their path to treatment. I hope people who are facing cancer can follow Mr. Kornel's example, fight bravely, and eventually succeed in fighting cancer! We Fight, We Win!
