Last year singer and actress Vivian Lai (黎瑞恩) discovered husband Ricky Tsang had extra-marital affairs with a mainland girl. Upon finding out, she immediately moved away with her children and filed for divorced. She claimed to feel miserable during an interview at the time of her divorce: "I would ask myself questions all the time. What did I do wrong? Why wasn’t I good enough for him? After what happened, there's no reason for us to be together anymore; but how did the 10 years relationship turned into this mess? Sometimes I would get angry over the matter but at the same time I would also think he wasn't all that bad. I was in a confused state." Initially, she thought she would feel better after the divorce but in reality she would cry alone in the middle of night thinking about the past. The emotional distress reached a point where she decided to see a psychologist for her emotional issues. Reconciliation and Tumor Diagnosis With the help of her good friend Winnie Lau (劉小慧), Vivian was able to reconcile and forgive her husband. But afterwards, she went to have a physical exam earlier in May this year. The reason for the physical was because she was feeling pain all over and couldn't swallow her food. It was then Vivian was diagnosed with two 1.5cm inoperable tumors in her pancreas. The doctor told her that they can't do anything to the tumors except to have them checked every 3 months. Vivian: "It's tough. They are inoperable. They are connected to too many tissues." After the diagnosis, Vivian felt a sense of calmness inside and she didn't even cry: "If I am going to die, then I will die. There's nothing to be scared of!" Vivian decided not to tell her kids and hoped that her tumors will go away by leading a healthy lifestyle. Vivian revealed that it is more important for her to control her emotion than her tumors: "I treat everyday like my last day so I won't have any regrets. I want to wake up and spend everyday with a smile." Creds: applenextmedia
