00:00Okay, so the title of my doctor, Dr. Farzafah, was also realized because of cancer.

00:09At the same time I was diagnosed with cancer, that year I was actually determined

00:15because I had already started my PhD in 2017.

00:19So in 2023, six years have passed.

00:22At that time, I couldn't say no, either I quit or I just finish it.

00:29So I chose to finish it.

00:31So I was determined, I did my planning, I set my goals, I met my supervisor,

00:37I said in 2023, Prof, I have to graduate because I'm tired of doing my thesis,

00:45I'm tired and I just want to be free, okay?

00:48The moment I made that decision, not long after that, I was diagnosed with cancer.

00:53So I had to withhold my PhD, my submission.

01:00And when I finished my surgery, I decided to reduce my job activities.

01:11Because I'm a freelance, corporate trainer, also coach.

01:15So I am consciously, because I want to focus on my health,

01:19so I try not to take any big projects that may take a lot of time for my recovery.

01:27So when we finished the surgery, the doctor gave me time to recover from the surgery.

01:32So I had a lot of time at home.

01:34What should I do?

01:36I can't just sit and wait, I have to heal too.

01:40So the mind will always, when it has a lot of time, it will start to be negative, right?

01:48So then I said, okay, this is it.

01:50I have time.

01:51Indeed, Allah wants to give.

01:52Because after the surgery, I had time because I was at home.

01:56I started to reopen my laptop, I reopened my thesis, I started writing.

02:01I wrote, wrote, wrote, I read again.

02:04So that distracted me from thinking about my health situation.

02:10In August, I was diagnosed in March.

02:12In August, I submitted my thesis for Viva.

02:16In November last year, I converted.

02:19Alhamdulillah.

02:20And I can say that if it wasn't for cancer, maybe I would still be in pain.

02:25I also had a perception before I was diagnosed that cancer is an elderly disease.

02:31And research has shown that cancer and critical illness attack more and more younger people.

02:44So we hear that the cancer is no longer 60, 70.

02:49Then it has become 40, 50.

02:52Now it has become 20 and 30.

02:55Why?

02:56I can't tell you why.

02:58Because I myself said earlier, I myself have no answer why I got cancer.

03:02It is very, very complex.

03:04So we need to remember that cancer or critical illness can attack anyone.

03:12Regardless of age, gender, and race.

03:21But what we can do is to take care of ourselves.

03:27Self-care.

03:28Aware.

03:29Because our body is very smart.

03:32If something is wrong in our body, don't see a doctor first.

03:37Because there is a hospital inside.

03:39There is an alarm that tells us something is not right.

03:43Something is not right that we need to see.

03:47But sometimes we just feel a little dizzy, a little headache.

03:51So we ignore it.

03:54Even though it is already a sign.

03:56It has already told us.

03:59So don't ignore it.

04:01So for me, we have to go inwards.

04:06Listen to our heart.

04:09Our intuition.

04:11Nowadays, it is too noisy that we forget to listen.

04:19What should we say?

04:20Am I tired today?

04:22Do you want to sleep?

04:23If you don't want to sleep, ask your friend to go out.

04:25But I'm tired.

04:26We need to acknowledge the signals that our body tells us.
