In the depths of night, she held back her tears, clenching her teeth tightly to avoid making a sound that might disturb her sleeping loved ones. She longed to cry freely and release the sorrow that had built up inside her! But this seems like a luxury now. When she gazed at her family, a surge of strength rose within her. She firmly told herself, "For them, I must bravely live on, never to let my child lose its mother".

With admirable resilience, she endured the pain caused by the side effects of chemotherapy and always faced difficulties with a smile, striving to be the hope in her child's heart. After three cycles of chemotherapy, the cancer cells are gradually disappearing. However, the doctor insisted on completing six rounds of chemotherapy just in case they reappeared.

However, the medical expenses for the later period have not yet been settled. In the face of such adversity, she and her family faced this challenge with unwavering resolve at the moment, they also hope to receive help from kind-hearted people. They cherish every moment, drawing strength from each other's presence.
