Taiwanese host Yu-Lin Shen was rushed into the intensive care unit last July 29th, and it has now been over five months since then. With the Lunar New Year approaching, he personally shared some good news: “The treatment has gone very smoothly. I just finished my fourth round of therapy, and my primary doctor was very satisfied with the test reports. There’s no need for a bone marrow transplant, so going home for the New Year should be no problem. It’s expected I’ll return to work after the Lantern Festival.”
Last July, Yu-Lin Shen was unexpectedly diagnosed with leukemia and was once in critical condition in the ICU. It’s been five months since, and he has yet to leave the hospital. During this period, he underwent several courses of chemotherapy, lost all his hair at one point, and visibly lost considerable weight. One of the treatment methods for acute leukemia is a matched bone marrow transplant, but according to him, all the numbers look good right now; not only is there no need for a bone marrow transplant, but he’ll also be able to return home for the New Year without issues.
Friends around him are discussing whether he should return to work so soon. Some suggest that he has earned enough money and could spend more time with his family. However, Shen is a workaholic — having a sense of focus helps keep him from boredom. Moving forward, it's a matter of splitting his work more evenly and finding the best balance between family, health, and work.
