About five years ago, we learned that my best friend had cancer in her arm, and this was a horrible thing that happened in our lives because we were really close friends and enjoyed life together. I really liked this feeling because we went to so many places and attended many workshops to enhance ourselves. However, after we heard about her illness, unfortunately, our lives completely changed because she needed to go to the hospital every day and undergo chemotherapy. That was really difficult because she lost her hair, which was her favorite part of her body. This was not an easy situation for any of us, and sometimes she felt really exhausted. She couldn't talk to anyone or face anyone because of her appearance, but I always tried to support her. I would tell her, "You can achieve this if you want to, but if you don't want to, no one can do it for you." I reminded her that she was strong and had the ability to reach this goal. After our conversations, she started to feel like she wanted to live and fight for her life. This was a significant turning point for us. We are really lucky now because she is doing well, and her health is really good now. That's why I'm really happy that she was able to handle this challenge, as it was really difficult for all of us, not just for her. Now we are living our lives, and we are really happy.
