愛的承諾和堅持

　　　　　　　　　　――兩位朋友的對話

Dear M，

Last week when we went to the doctor's offcie to have a routine

check-up. the doctor found my wife, Moon has a rectal tumor.

We are of course very worried. Now we just have been advised

 that Moon will need a process of chemotherapy and radiation

treatment and then a surgery to cut off the tumor.

Fortunately this kind of cancer is curable, so now I am l standing

 by and supporting Moon to go through this medical treatment

process, which may take three or four months.

This is a very diffcult time for me. As I love and care Moon very

 much. She has been very kind and loyal to and care about me

too. We shall face any difficulty together.

I just went you know this situation as I consider you are one of our

 very closest friends.

So we shall of course postpone our return to Bj until situation has been stabilized and the mecial treatment is successfully

 accomplished.

Best to you,

　                     L

L,

您的信我連續讀了三遍，為的是想確認是良性腫瘤還是惡性腫瘤。

我為您和您的太太遇到如此棘手的難題感到難過。我知道您很愛並且很珍惜您的太太。您的太太是一位善良、溫順、又有品味的女性，我也很喜歡她。但是誠如R在十二年前一次的例行檢查中發現自己血糖高一樣，在那的前半年，還誇口自己不會有什麼慢性病而退了保險。生老病死，禍福旦夕，是我們沒有能力掌控的。重要的是，當我們遇到難題時，盡最大的努力去爭取最好的結果。

您目前的精神狀態直接影響到您太太的心理和精神。盼望您能保持良好的狀態，讓您的太太在您身上能夠看到希望。我知道您是一個冷靜而又有意志力的人，我相信您不會被眼前的困難所壓倒。

現代醫學很發達，很多疾病是可以醫治的，更何況你們在NY有非常好的醫療環境。凡事要有盼望……，您的妻子比您的工作更重要。

是的，我是你們的好朋友，我會永遠支持你們，我將天天為你們祈禱。如果有我能夠盡力的事，我很樂意去做。

過去長時間裡，您和您的妻子為這個世界做過很多善良的事，我相信上帝看到了一切，祂將眷顧你們。

有什麼不方便告訴別人的話，可以告訴我。我將永遠支持您。

　　　　　愿這個治療順利！

Dear M:

Thank you for your very warm friendship and care, which I and my

wife appreciate greatly.

The doctor has double cheked the tumor was a cancer but such

a rectal tumor could be cured as long as correct surgery and

chemotherapy treatment is applied. Her docotrs are from New

York University Hospital. They are all the first class professionals.

We shall face the difficulty calmly and optimistically. Hope and pray

the best result.

I am particularly thank you for being my best friend and kind sister,

so if I have some privatewooriesd and feeling then I can talk to you.

Yes, my wife is much more important than my work and career. I

must change my plan and other arrangements. For the time being. the

first priority to help and support my wife to go through the difficult

time and to resolve the problem together.

Thank you again for kind words and sincere prays which

you have extended to us.

Dear S， 

剛剛看到你的來信。忒別感到溫暖。 謝謝你的關心。 

我們這個星期，和紐約大學治療中心的專家們討論Moon的治療方法 。

他們都是第一流的專家， 我們很放心。他們的計畫是先採用 6星期的化療和放射，讓後外科割除腫瘤，再使用 4星期的放射治療。 

除了一個主要的治療醫生外，每一個過程都有忒別專家來診斷和治療。 他們表示很樂觀。我們也就比較安心了。

他們也有營養專家來指導食物，休息，運動， 等等注意事項。

現在計畫於9月初開始啟動治療過程。

我會在適當時候，告知你們進步情況。

再謝謝你們的關心。
