In her letter， she shared， “For five years， this storm has knocked me down into the mud time and again， yet I always gritted my teeth and stood up， treating bruises as medals and tears as courage. I truly tried my utmost， fighting like a soldier until the last bullet. Thank you to all who loved me， cared about me， and those who crossed my path. It is you who have made my short life so rich.”
She continued， “I couldn’t accompany you all further on this journey， but my blessings will always be with you. I hope you will look at the brilliant sunsets for me， feel the fresh breeze for me， taste the new ice cream for me， and go hug those who are also fighting against illness. May we cherish each other and live life well.”
Background information indicates that bone cancer， also known as bone tumors， refers to tumors originating in the bones or their adjacent tissues. Malignant bone tumors are categorized as primary or secondary. Secondary malignant bone tumors occur when malignant tumors from other organs or tissues metastasize to the bone through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
The primary early symptom of bone tumors is pain. Initially， the pain is mild and intermittent， but it gradually intensifies as the disease progresses. This highlights the importance of early detection and intervention for bone cancers.
