(Minghui.org) I was diagnosed with a fist-size tumor in my abdomen in March 2014. I spent seven days – and a lot of money – in the local hospital but the treatment was unsuccessful.

Two weeks later things got worse and I went to a provincial hospital this time. The doctor said that I had end-stage pancreatic cancer. We borrowed the equivalent of thousands of dollars from almost everyone we knew and I underwent surgery to remove three tumors. I was on chemotherapy for 35 days until the hospital finally discharged me because we couldn't afford the treatment anymore.

By then I was emaciated, almost more dead than alive.

Six months later we'd scraped together enough money and went to the hospital again. We brought home medicine for chemotherapy.

I was too weak to take the train home and decided to rest at my sister's. My aunt, whom I hadn't seen for 30 years, was visiting my sister that day. In her 70s, she looked energetic with a vibrant complexion. I asked her what she did to stay so young and healthy and she told me about Falun Dafa.

I was envious of her good health and told her that I wanted to practice Falun Dafa. So my aunt took me to her home and taught me the exercises and gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun. After we returned to our home, my husband would read the book to me after work since I had not had the opportunity to learn to read as a child.

Gradually my health improved. I removed my IV and catheter because they got in the way when I did the exercises. Nothing bad happened. My son and daughter-in-law were glad to see my improvement each day and often took turns reading Zhuan Falun to me. Soon I began to help with household chores.

A month later, a practitioner from out of town took me to her place and had me exercise and study with other practitioners. She later rented an apartment for us and found my husband a job. This way I was able to focus on the practice.

By the end of April 2015 I was able to eat normally and was full of energy. I looked a lot younger – so different than I'd looked just a month before.

Even after spending thousands upon thousands on medical care, I nearly died. Yet with Falun Dafa, I became completely healthy in less than three months, without spending a dime. I am so grateful to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, and would like to tell the world that Falun Dafa is good.
