A man who was told he had one year to live after being diagnosed with cancer at age 12 has just celebrated his 30th birthday. The man, who doesn’t tell us his name, shared his remarkable story on the Internet.

“At the time, back in 2005, doctors knew very little about the specific type of tumor (肿瘤) I had. I was told when I was diagnosed that only 3 other people globally had even ever been diagnosed with it. All of them only lived about a year or 2 after diagnosis. Doctors had no idea why my treatment was so        △       . The hospital sent my tumor off to be studied and they continued giving me regular MRI scans (核磁共振) every year up until just now. I finished my final MRI checkup this year,” he said.

Following the treatment for his brain tumor, he was left with short term memory loss. “All my long term memory is fine. I can tell you anything about my past, but may not remember your name after meeting you or what I had for breakfast or why I called you,” he said. To help with his short term memory loss, he carried around a small notebook to write things down he knows he will need to remember later.

For most of his younger years he didn’t think too much about the future and tried to enjoy every day as if it may be his last. He didn’t care about eating healthily or exercising knowing he might not live to see tomorrow. But now, after getting married and having kids, his idea has changed. “Now, I want to live as long as possible to see them grow old. I want to eat healthy and exercise so I can play with them throughout their whole childhood. I want to see what sort of people they become,” he said.
