"At the peak of my career, fate dealt me a fatal blow"
My name is Supama Songsi, and I am the founder of a high-end fashion brand in Bangkok. Shuttled between fashion week and the board of directors every day, I thought I was in control of the entire rhythm of my life. Until that sultry afternoon three years ago, I suddenly lost my voice at the new product launch, and the lump on my neck strangled my throat like a venomous snake.
In Bangkok's most expensive private hospital, the results of the PET-CT scan made everyone tremble - thyroid cancer was in the late stage, and the cancer cells had metastasized to the lymph nodes and lungs. Three chemotherapy treatments made my long golden brown hair fall out in bunches, and my weight plummeted from 130 kilograms to 89 kilograms. When the doctor suggested for the third time that I "be prepared for hospice care", I looked at my emaciated self in the mirror and smashed my diamond-studded mobile phone against the bulletproof glass window of the ward.
"If you are struggling in the dark at this moment, please remember that medical care has no borders and hope never stops. Cross that seemingly unreachable threshold, and the dawn of life is waiting for you around the corner." ——Supama Songsi in the Bangkok office
"A life-saving flight across half of Asia"
The turnaround occurred in the rainy season of 2023. My personal medical consultant sent me a full English report: "Guangzhou R&F Hospital International Cancer Center, particle implantation therapy combined with natural therapy, thyroid cancer five-year survival rate of 91.7%". Looking at the 3D tumor model shown by the Chinese doctor in the video, the cancer cells that had been raging in my body were surrounded by countless glimmering particles.
My husband chartered a medical plane to take me to China. When the wheelchair slid through the gate of Guangzhou R&F Hospital Cancer Center, the dozens of national flags of various countries hanging in the corridor made my pupils tremble - it turned out that so many international patients have been reborn here.
"288 'micro-missiles' rewrite the script of life"
In the treatment room, Professor Li pointed to the dynamic image and explained: "We will implant 288 iodine-125 particles into the tumor area like sowing seeds, and each particle is a micro-missile that continuously attacks cancer cells." What surprised me even more was the natural therapy of traditional Chinese medicine: when I practiced Ba Duan Jin in the roof garden in the morning, the aroma of mugwort mixed with the warmth of acupuncture actually made my nausea that lasted for three years after chemotherapy disappear for the first time.
On the 42nd day of treatment, when the head nurse rushed into the ward holding the latest examination report, I was applying lipstick in front of the mirror - this was the first time in three years that I had the desire to put on makeup. "Tumor markers dropped by 80%!" Although I didn't understand her excited Chinese, the shrinking shadow areas on the screen clearly showed that the god of death was retreating step by step.
"Life after rebirth is brighter than before illness"
Now I am standing backstage at the Bangkok T-stage again, with the last three metabolizing particle implantation sites hidden under the silk scarf around my neck. When the spotlights come on again, I can clearly feel the pulsation of the new thyroid cells. Guangzhou R&F Hospital not only gave me back my life, but also made me understand that the real strong are not those who never fall, but those who dare to reach out and grasp hope when they fall into the abyss.
