"I am working on a project to bring low-cost medical care to the West, fearing that investors will know the health condition is not good." The smile of M.T. hours are permanently turned off after a period of struggle with illness. Please read the confidences of M.T. on the occasion of spreading.

As a young doctor has significant milestones in his career, but a health event has struck, making Dr. M.T. (born in 1986, worked at the University of Alberta, Canada) has other perspectives on life, family and true happiness concepts.

• It is known that you just picked up an ancient Tet in exile in the hospital bed, and a few days before you talked, you blurted out "I miss the Tet at home" ...

• 2017 Lunar New Year is my Tet holiday and is the first Tet I have to pick up on the sick bed because I have to go to chemotherapy to cure cancer discovered in late 2016. The traditional Tet holiday of the people It is also the time when universities in the US and Canada start the new semester so my work is very busy.

I occasionally visit Vietnam on the occasion of New Year but the feeling is very different. Traditional Tet is always an opportunity for me to look back at myself to know the Vietnamese blood is still billowing in my body, to feel the pleasure of being bitten by a piece of banh chung, banh tet and parallel. The atmosphere is calm and warm beside relatives and families.

Those who live in areas with heavy snow and cold all year round like me will have more and more memories. I remember Tet as I remember my grandparents, parents and childhood ...

• "You look at my hands, not a nod, even though it is over 30. I know it is because of my mother, my mother's hands are full of lumpiness and lethargy due to hard work", "when I saw my father's mother throwing away And I swear to myself that I will have a very different life. "... It seems that since I found myself sick, my Facebook share is more confusing, especially about my family.

• If I say I've never done anything to make my parents upset, that's a lie. Young people all have moments of ebullience, want to go out to live for freedom, not having to listen to reminders, mumbling from parents every day.

I remember when I was in my early years, my mom told me I would definitely do the opposite. Maybe I want to prove I'm grown up. The day I entered college and went to the city, I used to write "get out of my family as an intense dream".

But if I look back, I can confirm that my mother is the softest point in my soul. In the dormitory or living in exile, I realized how fortunate I was to have a father, to have a mother even though they were originally from the countryside and worked in agriculture.

My parents were not rich to give their children dowry assets but they gave him and me the opportunity to go to school so I could take care of my own future. Every time I eat delicious food, set foot in beautiful lands ..., I silently thank my parents for their sacrifices.

• You also shared with a little regret "I strive a lot in college time to have a scholarship to study in the US because I thought it helped me to confirm who I am, but ...".

• When I was young, I thought everyone needed big, intense or even crazy dreams. Every youth needs ambition and a bit of gaping. It is not wrong to live up to and fulfill such dreams.

But it is true that sometimes we live too hard with our youth, so busy with our lives ... so we do not have a balance in our own lives, so we do not pay attention to the most ordinary happiness. I used to be very distressed about broken personal feelings. I even lost the last chance to meet my grandmother, who loved me so much ... because I could not arrange my return time.

Are you still working normally after detecting cancer?

• I'm also a person working in the medical field, so I'm just a little sad about the results of the health examination, which makes me more worried than the feelings of my relatives and my family. Luckily, everyone understood and encouraged me.

I still research and teach normally, although productivity is lower due to the effect of chemotherapy. But I find life is pretty good. As I said, I knew I had a better life than many people.

In addition to my work in Canada, I also did a community health project for people in the West who could access health care services in the most convenient and convenient way. The project is attracting very good sponsorship, besides I also receive support and participation of many doctors ... and I hope to see this "brainchild" soon in the near future.

In the old days, I was ambitious, I wanted to be number 1, such as learning to stand first, work best ...

I used to work as a machine and only paid attention to the money I earned so I didn't have much time for others. I even worked 14 hours a day continuously.

But now I realize that those things don't make sense in things that are spiritual values, such as love, mutual care and care between me and my parents, or friends appear when I need someone to talk to ...

If I could go back to time, I would be different ... By street view
