In 2008, Dr. Bor-cheng Han, a professor in the Department of Public Health at Taipei Medical University, was diagnosed with liver cancer and was expected to have only three months to live. But 12 years later, he says he is healthier than his pre-cancer days.

The 64-year-old professor has been sharing his cancer-fighting methods with the public. With his spirited smile and cheerful voice, it is not at all obvious that he was once a cancer patient who had two-thirds of his liver removed. How did he achieve this?

Life After Cancer Has Taken a Turn for the Better

Dr. Han previously lived a stable life while teaching at Taipei Medical University and taking care of his daughter. However, in April 2008, a large tumor of nearly 7 1/2 inches in diameter and 4 1/2 pounds in weight discovered in his liver shattered his peaceful life.
