The results of the checkup show that all my values are normal.
I was told that I am in a completely healthy state.
After the outpatient session ended, a nurse thanked me for fighting so well as an exemplary patient, which truly touched me...
I am the one who is more thankful, really...
Today, I gifted CDs of my music to my primary doctor, wanting to not forget the effort they put in more than anyone to help me return to my original place. I want to recover even better and show a good side of myself again.
I am really thankful to everyone who has supported me ㅠㅠ
There might be many of you who are worried because someone you love is going through something similar to what I did. Just like how I bravely fought and got better from stage 4 cancer, I believe that anyone can overcome their own battles.
It must be so.
Let's support each other with strong hearts.
That's incredible! Good for her. Full respect for her strength, as well as the support she received from her loved ones and medical teams. Wishing her a long, healthy life!
