Husband has recurrent liver cancer, Mong teacher donates organs to save husband

"You are young, 3 mothers and children need you", that was the message Ms. C - a Mong preschool teacher in Lai Chau - still told Mr. Ch (her husband) when she heard that he was sick.

Her daily job is to take care of children who are not yet literate, teaching them to say greetings, to love from the smallest things. Mr. Ch (34 years old) works as a livestock farmer and grows crops at home. The family's life was simple and quiet, until the incident hit the small house.

In July 2025, Mr. Ch had a right rib abdominal pain and was very tired. During a periodic check-up, Mr. Ch was diagnosed with left liver cell carcinoma. After that, he underwent endoscopic surgery to remove his left liver.

Since he realized he had the disease, he has been trapped in sadness, optimism, and negativity. Ms. C encouraged, comforted, and became her husband's spiritual support.

However, after 3 months, the tumor recurred. A liver transplant is the best treatment for him. Mr. Ch did not agree and stopped him when he learned that his wife intended to donate him a liver.

"I have this disease. I have to be healthy so that the children have their mother by their side, Mr. Ch told his wife.

She explained to him: "medicine is developing, the liver will regenerate, then I will be healthy again. I believe that luck will smile on my family, my husband and I will be healthy, and we will raise our children together.

He was silent for a long time. It is not an immediate agreement, but a struggle in the heart of a man who both wants to live and is afraid of hurting the person he loves the most. It was his wife's calmness and strength that gradually pulled him out of negativity.

The day of surgery had come, she steadfastly entered the operating room, while he lay in the next room, carrying the trust that his wife had given him. The liver transplant lasted 7 hours, is the effort of the team of doctors, is the result of modern medicine, is a testament to the love of the two people.

After the surgery, the first question she asked the doctor was still about her husband, and so did he. Knowing the successful rap song, she smiled and was happy. The health of the couple gradually recovered and stabilized.

Luck has smiled on my small family. She was discharged after 1 week of surgery, while he was still cared for and monitored in the hospital. She told him: "I'll go home first, I'll stay and try to eat. I feel secure because there is always a doctor, and you are by my side and accompany me. She advised me to work hard to eat to get well quickly and get discharged from the hospital.

The strength of a preschool teacher shows that when there is enough love, people can walk together through the most difficult days, to hold hands to continue a long journey ahead.
