The Hardworking Life of Mr. Chen
Mr. Chen, a 50-year-old laborer, has spent his life working tirelessly at construction sites, hauling materials under the scorching sun. Despite the grueling work, he barely manages to provide for his family of four. His days are long, filled with physical exhaustion, but he carries on, determined to make ends meet. However, his world was shattered when a routine check-up revealed an oral tumor. After receiving all the lab and image exams, he got the devastating diagnosis—oral cancer.

Life Turned Upside Down: The Impact of Cancer
In an instant, Mr. Chen's life was turned upside down. The once-strong laborer found himself growing weaker by the day, unable to keep up with the demands of his job. Frequent hospital visits became his new reality, and as his strength waned, so did his ability to work. The mounting medical bills, combined with the cost of essential nutrition during his recovery, became an overwhelming burden. His family, already struggling, was unable to provide the support he desperately needed. Isolated and overwhelmed, Mr. Chen felt more alone than ever before.
The Challenges of Cancer: Beyond Physical and Financial Struggles
The challenges didn’t stop with his physical and financial struggles. Mr. Chen also faced the daunting task of understanding complex medical information, navigating his treatment plan, and managing the side effects of his therapy. Lacking knowledge about self-care, he was often left wondering whether he was doing enough to support his own recovery. The emotional toll of his illness, combined with the lack of adequate care and support, made his journey through cancer treatment a lonely and frightening ordeal.
