Taiwanese badminton player Chou Tien-chen underwent surgery to remove cancerous cells and part of his large intestine in April 2023.
The 34-year-old told The Straits Times: “Of course I was shocked. I live a healthy life and avoid food that’s high in sugar, so why would this happen to me?He underwent surgery to remove cancerous cells and part of his large intestine last April and boarded a flight to Dubai for the 2023 Badminton Asia Championships a day later.
“But I had no choice but to keep going because it was the Olympic qualification period and I cannot not play.” “Many people have overcome problems much bigger than mine but don’t have the platform to share. The title was validation that I could do it, and I hope people can be positive in the face of adversity and be encouraged to find a way out of their valley.”
