She'd thought it was just her stomach acting up again. After all, the chronic gastritis she'd had for so many years was an old problem.
Her schedule was a mess, plus the fatigue from traveling—feeling unwell was only to be expected, so she hadn't taken it to heart.
But the pain kept getting worse, and one day she actually vomited blood. She went straight to the hospital, never imagining that the endoscopy would come back as gastric cancer, already Stage III—mid to late stage!
Holding the report, Grace Parker felt like the sky had collapsed. She had never, ever imagined she would end up with a terminal illness.
All those times her stomach felt uncomfortable, the pain unbearable, she'd always assumed it was just gastritis. Relying on her own medical experience, she'd never gone to the hospital for a proper check-up, and now it was far too late for regrets.
And she herself was a doctor, yet she'd had absolutely no sense of prevention!
