"Only by accepting yourself can we go on! Yang Qingqing, 30, was found to have breast cancer shortly after her marriage. She was afraid to look in the mirror for half a year, fearing to see her right chest blackened by radiotherapy. But suddenly, the idea of "wanting to have a baby instead of accompanying her husband" made her take off her coat, take a picture of * * *' s upper body with a camera, and then pick up a brush to paint her hairless and partially * * * in the photo to remind herself to accept her body.

Yang Qingqing won the first prize in the 6th "Draw Hope" Cancer Friends Group. She used her self-portrait to encourage her patients to accept herself bravely.

Therefore, with the theme of "Love is the most beautiful existence", she contributed to the 6th Painting Hope Painting Competition sponsored by Cancer Hope Foundation, and won the first prize of Cancer Friends Group.

Cultivating interest in fighting cancer can reduce stress.

In the face of cancer, patients not only have to endure physical torture and pain, but also emotional pressure and pessimistic outlook on life will often aggravate physical pain and pain, and even affect the willingness and effect of treatment.

Wang, chairman of the Cancer Hope Foundation and a hematologist, said that many patients have a psychological fear and even give up the idea of treatment because they are worried about whether they can be cured. If patients can try to cultivate interest, and use "interest" to give them motivation and goals to pursue good things in life, they can not only decompress, but also divert their attention from the disease, which will help control their illness and maintain their quality of life!

Cheer for cancer friends! The painting exhibition hopes to start in June.

In order to encourage cancer friends and their families to bid farewell to their fear of cancer, the Cancer Hope Foundation will launch the sixth Taiwan-wide roving exhibition "Painting Hope" from June, displaying many works including Yang Qingqing's works, and cheering for patients who are struggling with the disease through the depiction of brushes and pigments and the life stories in the works.
