In 2000 I was detected with cancer at the age of 49. The doctor told me that my children were settled (daughter, a doctor and my son, a software engineer) and that I had five years with or without treatment. He told me to save myself the pain, and enjoy life and finish my pending work.
In the following conversation that I had with my daughter, I mentioned at the end: by the way, I have breast cancer. She was quiet for a second, and the call got cut. The moment I turned my back, my phone started jumping on its cradle – it was my daughter again. She asked me to apply for a visa and come to the US ASAP.
It was February 28, and I had my first operation on March 6 in the US and my second on March 13. We didn’t have the money to afford treatment in the US – the surgeon didn’t take any fees, nor did the hospital charge my daughter or me.
This generosity from unknown people always fills my heart with gratitude. One doctor gave me five years, and the other gave me a perfectly healthy life. God bless him and his family.
Takeaway
One never knows when you meet someone who fills your heart with gratitude and changes your life.
