(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Yang Zhen and I'm 51 years old. In April 2002, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer and in need of an immediate operation. But during the operation, I was immediately sewn back together after being cut open. The surgeon refused to continue the operation. I learned about this only after I woke up. The specialist said that I could not live for more than three months.
After leaving the hospital, I was not able to eat normally. Every sip of water I drank would make me vomit for some time. My stomach could not hold anything at all. Vomiting day after day, my muscles quickly atrophied. Severe malnutrition worsened my original femoral head necrosis. The muscles of my leg withered completely, and I looked like a skeleton wrapped in pale skin. I completely lost the ability to take care of myself. My family had already quietly prepared for my funeral.
I also clearly realized that I was going to die and that my days to live were numbered. When I felt I was just about to die and leave my family, the desire to live made me accept my friend's advice. I started to learn and practice Falun Gong, thinking I would just give it a try. As I studied the Fa in more depth, I started to observe some obvious changes in my body. The vomiting and pain were reduced, and I also ate more.
After studying the Fa and practicing the exercises for three months, I stopped vomiting. My legs, which could not even move the toes originally, were also recovering. I could practically walk with the support of a stick. At that time, I was totally convinced of the power of Falun Gong, and I determinedly stopped my daily medical treatment.
Now my stomach has completely recovered. My leg muscles that had become so withered totally recovered and even become more resilient than before. I can completely take care of myself, and I can even do some light housework. Before studying Falun Gong, I weighed less than 45 kilograms. Now I already weigh 55 kilograms.
I never dared to look in the mirror when I was ill, because I was afraid to see my ravaged face. Now my face is rosy, and I'm really healthy, inside and out. Hearing that I was still alive and doing well, the hospital director who operated on me was very surprised and sighed with emotion, "This is like a fairy tale."
It was Falun Gong that pulled me back from death's door and gave me a second chance at life.
