Matsuna Strides Through Her Recovery with Hope

As Told By: Matsuna

In 1993, I was admitted to the hospital for ovarian cancer. I had surgery and anti-cancer treatment afterwards. Although I regained my strength and energy, and life seemed to return to normal, I felt great pain in my back in June 1995. I began coughing terribly, which led to an inability to ingest food. The examination in a nearby public hospital revealed a malignant tumor in the lymph nodes around the stomach. I received anti-cancer drug treatment for six months, and it was during this time that I heard of Tian Xian liquid through news reports.

The report revealed that a late-stage cancer patient in Chuan Yue Dai Jing San Hospital became better after drinking Tian Xian liquid. Upon reading this, I immediately gave the product a try. First, I obtained detailed information about Tian Xian liquid and, firmly believing in it, I started to drink the liquid in October. Since I was in the hospital at this time, I sought the doctor’s opinion. He advised that since the liquid is for the purpose of curing cancer, I might as well give it a try. I, therefore, decided to bank on the expected effect of Tian Xian liquid while finishing my hospital treatment.

In April of the following year, I was again in the hospital for three months to receive a transplant of bone stem cells and for anti-cancer drug treatment. Still, I did not stop taking the Tian Xian liquid.

Although I knew beforehand that I would suffer side effects from the anti-cancer drugs, such as appetite and hair loss, the doctor told me frankly that the transplant was equivalent to large-amount anti-cancer drug. I suffered terribly from the side effects as I went through two kinds of treatments at the same time. I constantly felt sick and unable to eat. I felt as if it was the end for me. Death occurred in my mind repeatedly. Compared to younger patients, however, my recovery seemed quicker that I couldn’t believe it myself. Afterwards, the side effects of the anti-cancer drug made me feel numb in my hands and feet. Although I lived a normal life, tumor was again found in my pelvis in August 1997 despite the fact that there were no obvious symptoms. Again, I was back in the hospital for anti-cancer drug treatment.

The treatment took its full course and I was released from the hospital in January 1998. The tumor indicator at that time read 110. The doctor said that should it rise to 150, I should immediately get to the hospital and avail myself of another round of anti-cancer drug treatments. Since the indicator rose after I left the hospital, I asked Dr. Wang for the correct dosage of Tian Xian liquid and pills, and I added them to my normal intake. As a result, the tumor indicator dropped gradually to 50 in May. Although the tumor indicator was very unsteady at this time, I was convinced that the cancer could be finally licked. I placed all my hope on Tian Xian liquid and pills. Now, the tumor indicator has returned to the normal range.

I have been on the verge of death many times, and only my fighting spirit could defeat cancer. During my stay in the hospital, I got acquainted with many patients, but very few of them have survived. I do not want to dwell on this. The most important thing is to not hesitate, for we are unable to manipulate our fate and no one can escape death. We should, therefore, enjoy every day of our limited lifetime. In fact, when I feel happy and elated, I can feel strength surge through my body.

While going through anti-cancer drug treatment, I suffered terribly from vomiting, constipation, and hair loss, but I was sure that I would be able to survive all the difficulties.

At one time, a friend said that disease is not necessarily related to our lifespans. I agree with her. A seemingly healthy friend of mine suddenly fainted due to cerebral aneurysm, and subsequently passed away. However, I, a cancer patient, lived longer than she did. And now, I am healthy. Just a few days ago, my husband and I took a trip to northern Europe. Life is going to be good and long for me!
