Just Wow It was hard, but I did it. I’m finally cancer-free 🥲🥳❤️
It was hard, but I did it. I’m finally cancer-free 🥲🥳❤️
I don’t know if this post belongs here, but I just have to share it.
I’m so happy to have beaten cancer 🥲❤️
When I was 28, an MRI diagnosed a tumor. The tumor markers were negative, so we thought it was benign. Two months later, a PET-CT scan revealed a malignant tumor, and the biopsy confirmed Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a relatively common form of cancer and, fortunately, is very treatable. Still, the treatment was hell. The chemotherapy was so exhausting—it not only destroyed the cancer but also severely weakened my body—and the radiation therapy wasn’t easy either.
But yesterday, after a PET-CT scan, I got the results: I’m cancer-free. 🥲
I’m so incredibly happy. I’m so proud that I made it through all of this, and I’m looking toward the future with optimism.
I admire everyone who is currently battling cancer, and I want to tell you: “You’re a hero—don’t give up.” To everyone who is currently battling cancer, don’t forget one thing: You’re not alone. ❤️

Wholesome This dog has a habit of making sure his blind friend gets fed before he does
Kugen was born without eyes, but luckily, he has Xiao Huang by his side. Whenever their owner offers them treats, Xiao Huang gently nudges their owner’s hand toward Kugen, making sure his blind buddy gets his share first. Only after Kugen has been fed does Xiao Huang take his own treat. A beautiful example of friendship and loyalty.
