(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Yang Shanwen and I am 57 years old. I live in a city in Hubei Province. In November 2007, I developed a cough which became progressively worse. Thinking it was a minor winter cold, I didn't pay much attention to it.

On January 29, 2008, the cough became so bad that my mouth and nose started bleeding. My husband urged me to get an exam in the hospital. After Professor Liu, a specialist from Beijing, examined me, I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

Professor Liu said the symptoms were so serious that chemotherapy would not work and only radiotherapy would help. I was able to endure the first radiotherapy session; however, during the second treatment, my nose and mouth started bleeding profusely, and I felt dizzy. The doctor and nurses were concerned and immediately removed me from the radiotherapy bed and put me in intensive care. They informed me that I could not take radiotherapy anymore and that my life could only be extended by regular injections of hemostatic drugs. Professor Liu also said to my family members, "She will at best live for another year, and will suffer extreme pain for the rest of her life." Upon hearing this, my family members felt very helpless. My sister-in-law cried all the time when I was not around.

My family and I couldn't accept such a diagnosis. I went to five authoritative hospitals, including Tongji Hospital and Xiehe Hospital in Wuhan City, and Huang's Medical System in Kunming, Yunan Province. All the exams gave the same result: terminal lung cancer. I had no alternative but to accept it with despair and follow the doctor's instruction to go back home and eat whatever I'd liked. In sadness, I kept saying to myself, "Why does God treat me like this? I do not want to die!"

Seeing my desperation, several kindhearted people came to tell me, "If you make up your mind to cultivate Falun Dafa, you can recover! Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, can save you!"

I wanted to survive and made up my mind. I turned off my cell phone, so I could focus on practicing Falun Dafa. In less than 20 days, my coughing reduced a lot and the bleeding completely stopped. I felt much better, and the odor in my mouth went away. After another 10 days, the cough was almost completely gone, and my complexion also returned to normal. Witnessing my improvement every day, my family members were very happy and thought Falun Dafa was miraculous!

Through cultivating in Falun Dafa, I understood a lot of questions that many people wanted to understand but couldn't find answers to: Why are good deeds followed by good fortune? Why do people get sick? Where does sickness come from? I firmly believed in Master and Dafa, and read the Fa and practiced the exercises diligently. I completely recovered. On September 9, 2008, I went back to the hospital for an CT exam. The lung cancer had disappeared. My recovery astonished the entire medical establishment that treated me. Everyone thought that it was unbelievable and claimed that they had never heard of such a magical turnaround! When I told them I practiced Falun Dafa, many on the staff acclaimed the amazing power of Falun Dafa!

I cried and cried in excitement for a long time. It's Falun Dafa that has given me my new life! There are no words that can express my gratitude to Master! I can only bow to Master again! I will tell everyone how I benefited from Falun Dafa, so that more people can benefit. I want to tell everyone: "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!"
