However, in January this year, the doctor told Su a shocking news – he wasbowel cancerLate stage, may live less than 12 months. But Su wasn’t about to give up treatment.
According to the Nine News Network, in early 2019, Su went to the hospital because of severe stomach pain.general practitioner. Doctors performed an ultrasound on him and found a “small lump of flesh” on his stomach, which doctors thought might be a stone.
Su said that his stomach pain disappeared afterward, and the doctor said, “You may have excreted the stone.” “You are still young and healthy. If the pain worsens, see the doctor again.”
Su said he had intermittent stomach pains for the next year, though he thought it was normal.
However last June, his stomach pain worsened, so he went back to see his GP. Doctors worried that Suder had appendicitis and referred him to the emergency department of a local hospital.
The emergency doctor performed an ultrasound on Sue, which found nothing unusual. Doctors also did some blood tests for Su, which showed a slight increase in his white blood cell count, which doctors thought might be caused by a mild infection.
Just like that, Su was sent home again. “The doctors told me again, if the pain gets worse, come back to the doctor and you’re young and healthy,” he said.
A month later, in July last year, Su went back to the GP again because of stomach pains. This time the doctor asked the emergency department of a local hospital to do a CT scan for him.
Su said that when he went to the hospital for a CT scan, he felt that the doctor was reluctant to perform a CT scan on him, but he ended up doing it.
A CT scan revealed a large mass in Su’s colon. Immediately afterwards, doctors discovered that the mass was malignant and that the cancer cells had spread to his peritoneum. Su did chemotherapy for several months after that.
In January, doctors had planned to perform a major operation on Su to remove all the tumors in his body. However, when the operation first started, doctors realized that Su’s cancer cells had spread widely, and there were cancer cells around the main blood vessels in his liver and heart, so the operation was aborted.The doctor then told Su that he hadcancerlate.

Su had quit her job as a business analyst in January to focus on her medical treatment. He and Malona originally planned to get married in February this year, but for Su’s health they moved it up to November last year.
At the time of writing, Su, who had undergone 19 rounds of chemotherapy, said he did not intend to give up treatment and was seeking the opinion of a Sydney surgeon.
Su said he wanted to share his experience to improveyoung peoplerightbowel cancerawareness.
“In hindsight, I should have fought for more tests, rather than just listening to the GP,” he said.
