Never give up your hope. Because the second time, my oncologist, he was honest. He said, “Well, chances to survive is only 5 percent. I can send you home and make your life as good as possible, or I can try it a second time.” And, I say, “OK, if I don't try it, I die. If I try it, I still have 5 percent to survive.”
