最美的人们09-一笑置之（在线收听） |
| [00:01.81]Laughing Matter 一笑置之 [00:05.07]Cancer is no laughing matter, [00:08.57]but a woman suffering through chemotherapy is rethinking that. [00:11.75]Bonnie Southcott, of Ferndale, Washington, [00:14.81]is teaching people that even though cancer isn’t fun, [00:17.55]it can be funny. [00:19.28]She was seven months pregnant with her second child Nate [00:22.25]when doctors found the tumor. [00:23.90]“In a flash moment, [00:25.09]I went from being a happy expectant mother [00:27.61]to being someone afraid for her life,” she told reporters. [00:30.77]Minutes after doctors delivered Nate by emergency C-section, [00:34.93]Southcott went into surgery. [00:37.24]The diagnosis was ovarian cancer. [00:39.74]Suddenly tears and chemotherapy overtook her life. [00:43.36]But the lowest moment came after she lost all her hair and a free wig arrived. [00:48.29]he tried it on as her older son Kyler watched. [00:52.44]“I thought I can cry about this bad wig and he’ll remember it, [00:56.26]or I can laugh about it and he will remember that,” Southcott said. [01:00.30]That was when she started laughing a lot, and found it was the perfect medicine. [01:05.55]“I spent a lot time looking for anything humor based for cancer patients,” she said. [01:10.58]“And I’ll tell you what: There isn’t much out there.” [01:13.77]Using herself as a bald model, [01:15.95]Bonnie started her own line of greeting cards and a calendar. [01:19.13]Each pose pokes fun at the tribulations of chemo. [01:22.62]She spread laugh in her own way. [01:24.93]“We desperately need to laugh,” she said. [01:27.54]“It’s vital to our joy.” [01:28.97]Even though Southcott’s ovarian cancer is in remission, [01:32.36]the diagnosis is no laughing matter [01:34.77]—a 25-percent chance she will live for another two-years. [01:38.48]She plans to appreciate every moment of motherhood. [01:41.98]And she plans to laugh. |
