"I don't cry about the illness, I just go to see my doctor."

Unfortunately she then began to suffer from a cough and chest pains. In August she was found unconscious in her rented apartment, and the medial diagnosis was that the osteosarcoma had spread to her lungs.

Li Na's father says that she is more than optimistic. "It's just a tumor, no big deal, the chemo will kill it," Li Na smiles. "I don't cry about the illness, I just go to see my doctor." After the amputation, she feels that she can face anything. Li Na's courage towards the cancer has inspired a lot of people.

On August 25 Li Na finished her first treatment cycle. Her blood tests were clear. But a doctor said that because her osteosarcoma had transferred to her lungs, it was already at the terminal stage. It is no longer possible to perform surgery but only give chemotherapy. Li Na nevertheless reamins positive, which according to the doctor is a very good sign.
