2 lessons from a cancer patient

When someone is going thru cancer, there is definitely so much of psychological and physical pain, and only the patient knows how unbearable the pain is.

Today I spent some time talking to a 79 year old lady who is going thru treatment for colon cancer.
During the 1 hour I spent talking to her, she told me of the difficulties she has to go thru in the sense of the pain during chemo, the challenge of not being able to take care of her grandchildren's, the challenge of seeing her children's going thru the grief and sadness with her. What made her saddest, is the fact that one of her son had to sell of his restaurant business in order to help pay her medical bills. So much of challengers that while listening I almost shed tears but was just controlling it probably due to the ego of being a man and also because I wanna give her the emotional strength.

After speaking to me for an hour, she concluded with 2 important advice to me; and that if she can live her live again she would:

1. Eat more vegetables.
2. Reduce read meat.
