After finishing Form Six in the
secondary
school, I became an undergraduate student in the Department
of Journalism and Communication at The Chinese University of Hong Kong
(CUHK). For four years, I'd enjoyed
an independent
and free life in the student
hostel of the Shaw College. I devoted the first summer in CUHK
studying French, but I've forgot almost everything now. For the second
summer, I went for a trip to Europe with my best friend, Carol. I
spent the last summer working as an intern journalist in the Hong Kong
Economic Times.
I continued to pursue my master's
degree at Stanford University with
the support of Rotary
Ambassador Scholarship. While I was in California, I'd attended the
Chinese Christian Fellowship at Stanford (CCFS)
and Peninsula Bible Church (PBC).
Although it was not a very long period of time, I'd made a lot of wonderful
friends there. I had also experienced some of the best moments in
my life.
However, my nightmare started
upon the graduation. My dad passed away with lung cancer and I was
also found with a tumor in the brain a year
afterward. Yet, the Lord has been faithful during these difficult
moments. Now almost five years after the trauma, I'm leading a new life
as an English teacher at Christian
Alliance S C Chan Memorial College in Tuen Mun.
Recently my neurosurgeon told me that new
activities have been shown in thalamus as well as brain stem in my latest MRI
scan. My oncologist thinks that radiotherapy is no longer feasible
because I have already received the maxmimum dose of radiation last time. The
last option is chemotherapy. The drug (Temodar)
I'm taking is rather expensive but with little side effect. Except for a few
vomits on the first day and a bit tire, everything seems to be fine. I'll have
another MRI examination in 3 month's time. Please continue to pray for me that
the chemotherapy would be effective. Thank you!
