(Minghui.org) According to data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization, 19 million new cancer cases emerged in 2020, including 2.3 million breast cancer cases.
The seriousness of breast cancer is also seen in the fatality statistics. Out of the 4.4 million female deaths caused by malignant cancers, 680,000 were attributed to breast cancer.
Despite these challenges, there is still hope. As witnessed by tens of millions of Falun Dafa practitioners, this practice offers enormous benefits to its practitioners in terms of both mind and body, including recovery from malignant breast cancer.
(Continued from Part 1)
Ms. Thu Hien Ta (who goes by Hien), 34, is from Lam Dong County, Phu Te Province in northern Vietnam. She is a talented singer and stage actress. She also runs a small family business.
Hien did not feel well after the birth of her second daughter in 2015. She noticed a lump on her right breast. The lump was initially small and firm, but it grew bigger over a short period of time. She felt unusually fatigued, so she went to the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital for a checkup. The diagnosis was disastrous—she had third-stage breast cancer, and doctors recommended surgery.
Hien was desperate at the grim news, and worried about the future of her two daughters. She later said, “Everything seemed to collapse on me. I felt it was the end of my life. My family was also shocked and desperate.”
Hien did not feel any sign of improvement after the first surgery. The tumor was getting bigger and bigger. So the doctor suggested a second surgery.
The chemotherapy following her second surgery took a big toll on her health. It brought her endless pain, fatigue, and fear. She said, “I could not get rid of the fear. I could not sleep well. Every night, I imagined my funeral and worried about my daughters who might lose their mother.”
Hien wanted to remain strong to the end of the treatments, but the pain had reached the limit that she could take. After the long sufferings, she almost gave up the last few runs of chemo treatments and asked her husband to let her go.
Hien returned home after completing her eighth chemotherapy in October 2015. She was visited by her cousin Ms. Minh Huyen Nguyen, who had just retired as a teacher. She looked much younger than her actual age. She gave Hien a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa.
Ms. Nguyen said, “This is the most precious book. You should read it through and it will help you in your dark and difficult times.”
Before she had cancer, Hien was an atheist and did not believe in anything beyond science. However, after learning that her cousin’s health had greatly improved after practicing Falun Dafa, Hien decided to give it a try, with a hope that she could have more days to live with her family.
Hien felt extremely relaxed after she read through Zhuan Falun. She said, “I felt that my body was so light like a cloud. The most amazing thing to me was that all my diseases, fear, and thoughts of death completely disappeared.”
Hien said, “I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that my blood test result was much better than that of a normal person. That was a miracle.”
She added, “I learned the principles taught in Zhuan Falun. My outlook on life and the world has completely changed. I now believe in the existence of Buddhas. I also believe that everything that happens is predestined.”
For those who are going through pain similar to what she once experienced, Hien suggested that they do good deeds for the world. The power of goodness will help them overcome all hardships.
She hopes everyone is as lucky as she is.

Ms. Ma Zhongbo was a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. After the Chinese communist regime ordered the persecution of Falun Dafa, she was arrested and detained at Wanjia Labor Camp for upholding her faith. After being tortured for nine days, she had a persistent fever for several days. She felt pain in the right breast, and the pain persisted for more than 20 days.
One evening, Ms. Ma’s swollen breast suddenly burst, and a large amount of blood and fluid spurted out. The guards immediately sent her to the hospital. The doctor checked her chest and said that no surgery was needed since nothing was left inside the breast. She was later diagnosed with breast cancer in another hospital.
To avoid being held accountable for her condition, the labor camp immediately released Ms. Ma. She went home on July 6, 2001, after eight months of incarceration.
Ms. Ma was exhausted and weak when she arrived at home. A friend encouraged her to resume practicing Falun Dafa, as her necrosis in the femoral had been cured by the practice.
Although she was shivering while standing, she still managed to do the Falun Dafa exercises. After finishing the first four sets of exercises, Ms. Ma felt that her whole body was full of energy, like being charged up by a stream of current. She enjoyed the wonderful feeling of having her body and soul united together. She felt relaxed and energetic. The pain and the swelling disappeared. She said loudly, “I am fine. I do not feel pain anymore.”
Three days later, new tissue began to grow in her breast. The horrible breast cancer disappeared in a blink of the eyes.
Seeing this miracle, a neighbor excitedly said, “I truly believe it now! Ms. Ma was dying, and even the best medicine might not be able to cure her. But she got well so quickly by just practicing Falun Dafa for a few days. Falun Dafa is really good!”
