I was required to read one of Bernie Siegel’s books in college and was hooked on his positivity from that moment on. The stories of his unconventional 41 and the exceptional patients he wrote about were so 42 to me and had such a big 43 on how I saw life from then on. Who knew that so many years later I would look to Dr. Bernie and his CDs again to 44 my own Cancer experience?
I’m an ambitious 45 , and when I started going through chemo(化疗),even though I’m a very 46 person, I lost my drive to write. I was just too tired and not in the 47 . One day, while waiting to go in for 48 , I had one of Dr. Bernie’s books in hand. Another patient 49 what I was reading and struck up a conversation with me 50 he had one of his books with me as well. It 51 that among other things, he was an eighty-year-old writer. He was 52 a published author, and he was currently 53 on a new book.
We would see each other at various times and 54 friends. Sometimes he wore a duck hat, and I would tell myself, he was definitely a (n) 55 of Dr. Berline. He really put a 56 on my face. He unfortunately 57 last year due to his cancer, 58 he left a deep impression on me and gave me the 59 to pick up my pen again. I 60 to myself, “If he can do it, then so can I.”
