Beating Cancer With the Heart: One Professor's Mindset Helped Him Stay Healthy for 15 Years
A 7.5-inch tumor, lung metastasis, and multiple rounds of treatment—Han Bo-Cheng, an honorary professor at Taipei Medical University, overcame all odds to defeat liver cancer. Fifteen years later, he remains cancer-free and attributes his recovery not only to medicine but to one powerful force: emotional healing. His story offers hope and insight for those facing cancer or any life-altering crisis.
Healing from the Inside Out: A Cancer Survivor's Journey
When you are diagnosed with cancer, how you face the illness and navigate treatment becomes a major concern for both you and your loved ones. For Han, the turning point wasn't just medical—it was emotional.
In 2008, Han was diagnosed with liver cancer and discovered a massive 7.5-inch, 4.4-pound tumor. After undergoing surgery to remove two-thirds of his liver, the cancer later spread to his lungs. He endured 25 chemotherapy sessions, 12 rounds of radiation, and targeted drug therapy. When the cancer recurred three years later, he required another surgery. Since then, Han has remained cancer-free. Not only has he regained his health, but he also appears younger than his age—something he credits to a complete transformation in mindset.
Emotional Healing: The Missing Piece in Cancer Recovery
Han believes a crucial part of healing lies in addressing emotions. 'I am the root of all problems, and love is the answer to all of them,' Han said in an interview with NTDTV's 'Health 1+1' program—a central realization during his recovery.
