What Has Cancer Taught Me: Meaning and Wisdom Follow Suffering

cqwu Uncategorized July 26, 2019July 31, 2019 1 Minute

After diagnosing lung cancer, I understad what suffering means. Slowly, little by little, I digested and absorbed the suffering. I understand “… suffering is like a pathway towards meaning and wisdom. Without suffering, I wouldn’t have realized and appreciated the meaning of life.” It’s absolutey important to allow yourself to reflect and grieve. https://lungcancer.net/living/meaning-follows-suffering/

I am diagnosed advanced Stage IV ROS1+ lung cancer 3.5 years ago at the age of 50 years old. Thanks for Targeted Therapy, my disease is under control. I am a cancer advocate to raise the awareness of lung cancer. Before I was sick, I was a professor in Mechanical Engineering. View all posts by cqwu

If a stage-4 cancer survivor can handle the stress, pain and suffering and make good use of it, the rest of us should retrospect our takes in the face of adversaries. There is always a reason for what you have to go through, and there is a destination. I think you find the pathway and you help others do the same. God bless!

  It’s not a easy article to right, and not easy to read either, but some kind of wisdom does come from suffering.
