I was required to read one of Bernie Siegel’s books in college and was hooked(迷上) on his positivity from that moment on. The stories of his unconventional 1 and the exceptional patients he wrote about were so 2 to me and had such a big 3 on how I saw life from then on. Who knew that so many years later I would rely on Dr. Bernie and his CDs again to 4 my own cancer experience?
I’m an ambitious 5 , and when I started going through chemo (化疗), even though I’m a very 6 person, I lost my drive to write. One day, while waiting to go in for 7 , I had one of Dr. Bernie’s books in my hand. Another patient 8 what I was reading and struck up a conversation with me because he had one of his books with him as well. It 9 that among other things, he was an eighty-year-old writer. He was 10 a published author, and he was currently 11 on a new book.
We would see each other at various times and 12 friends. Sometimes he wore a duck hat, and I would tell myself, he was definitely a(n) 13 of Dr. Bernie. He really put a smile on my face. He unfortunately 14 last year due to his cancer, but he left a deep impression on me and gave me the 15 to pick up my pen again. I thought to myself, “If he can do it, then so can I.”
