...I believe that words can empower a person so much, no matter who they come from. Just today, a doctor here in China said I had cancer, Hodgkin's to be precise. Staging will happen soon.
I need to be stronger than I have ever been in my life, but I know that every person who touches my life, including those on this board, can have an amazing impact!
Also, I am looking for those who have been through a similar experience to help me understand it, encourage me, warn me, give me words of wisdom, etc. Whatever you can say!
Also, I really do not want to leave my students. I want to stay here in China, with my gf and teach my classes so badly. My gf has been a rock for me, a solid person who has promised to be by my side no matter what. It would devastate me deeply to leave her, but I also miss my family.
