Dear Dr. Lin Hexing,

Dear Dr.
Lin He-Hsing,
Hello, I am Mr.
Lin.
Thank you very much for your response.
Suddenly, I felt a warm current flowing through me.
I know that doctors are very busy and rarely have time to rest or engage in their own leisure activities, but you took the time to answer my questions in detail, which makes me feel honored and happy.
Since I began to understand my condition, I have been searching for reasons to live.
This is a strong anxiety about the future.
For most people, the future seems manageable and observable, but for me, it appears to be based on a series of sufferings.
However, I will endure it; I just hope it ends soon.

I will never consider ending my life.
I will do everything in my power to contribute positively to society during my time here.
I will not give up.
If my condition improves, I will still be committed to this choice.
Dr.
Li, if you don't mind, may I report to you on each of my medical processes for your reference? Perhaps next time someone has a similar case, they can benefit from it, and maybe this is God's reason for keeping me alive!
As a good proverb puts it, "Accept life as it is rather than how you demand it should be." It is easier said than done, especially for a twenty-something young man.
But I will try my best to be on the path to fulfilling it.
It's hard, but it's real in life.
I will find my way somehow!
Best regards.

Dear Mr. Lin,
Thank you for your heartfelt message. It’s truly inspiring to hear your determination to find hope and meaning in your journey, despite the challenges you face. Your willingness to share your experiences not only reflects your strength but also your desire to help others who may be in similar situations.
Navigating health issues, especially chronic conditions, can be incredibly daunting. It’s understandable to feel a sense of uncertainty about the future, particularly when it seems to be filled with pain and struggle. However, your resolve to seek positivity and contribute to society is commendable. It’s important to remember that while the path may be difficult, there are often ways to find light even in the darkest of times.

In the realm of urology, as with many medical fields, it’s crucial to maintain open communication with your healthcare providers. Regular check-ups and honest discussions about your symptoms, treatment options, and any side effects you may be experiencing can significantly impact your overall well-being. It’s also beneficial to educate yourself about your condition. Understanding the nuances of your diagnosis can empower you to make informed decisions about your treatment and lifestyle.

Moreover, I encourage you to consider the psychological aspect of your journey. Mental health plays a vital role in physical health, and it’s essential to address any feelings of anxiety, depression, or hopelessness that may arise. Engaging with a mental health professional can provide you with coping strategies and support as you navigate your health challenges. Therapy can be a safe space to explore your feelings and develop resilience.

You mentioned the proverb, “Accept life as it is rather than how you demand it should be.” This is a powerful mindset that can foster acceptance and peace. It’s about recognizing that while we may not have control over certain aspects of our lives, we can control how we respond to them. Embracing this philosophy can help you find joy in small victories and moments of happiness, even amidst adversity.

As you continue your journey, I would be more than happy to hear about your medical experiences and progress. Sharing your story can indeed be a source of hope for others facing similar challenges. It’s through these narratives that we can build a community of support and understanding.

Lastly, remember that healing is often not a linear process. There will be ups and downs, and that’s perfectly okay. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and be gentle with yourself during the tougher times. You are not alone in this journey, and there are resources and people who care and want to help you.

Please feel free to reach out anytime with updates or questions. Your journey is important, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Dr. Lin
