Taiwanese singer-actress Fang Wen-lin had an oesophageal cancer scare.Taiwanese singer-actress Fang Wen-lin had surgery to remove a tumour from her oesophagus two months ago.
Wen-lin compared it to her report from three years ago - the last time she had a check-up - and noticed that the cancer index was at seven, above the normal range of zero to three and four to five for smokers. "The next night, my daughter came to my room. She cried when she looked at me, and said, 'You shouldn't have it. This cancer almost always only occurs in men, and it's all your fault! It's because you drink sorghum liquor!'"
Her tumour was 10cm in size and she underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection, which according to John Hopkins Medicine uses "an endoscope to remove precancerous and cancerous areas in the gastrointestinal tract".'I almost lost myself just because of my drinking habit'"Some people said that I could take medicine to relieve the pain, but I didn't want to because I had to learn a lesson.
