She was no longer able to have children, she went bald, she became fat... but these are the words of her beloved husband who continued to support Hara Chiaki.
Chiaki Hara (50), an actor and talent who has overcome cancer twice. When she was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 30, she was advised to have a hysterectomy, but she refused because she strongly wanted to give birth. However, at the age of 35, the cancer recurred and she had a total hysterectomy. At this time, she announced her illness and her marriage to a television producer who was one year older than her. (Part 4 of 6) *** I was diagnosed with cancer for the second time at the end of 2009, but I had been dating my current husband for about three years before that and we had been saying, “Maybe it’s time to get married.” In fact, we had even made a promise to visit my husband’s parents’ house the following New Year to visit them if no cancer was found, but that plan was also canceled. When I was diagnosed with cancer a second time, I realized that it was my fault that I had made the disease so bad, and that all I could do was somehow hope to save my life. On the other hand, I was really shocked that I had involved so many people around me. It was really painful for my husband and his parents, who were soon to become my family, to have to share the reality of not being able to have children. I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I told my husband about it, and he said, “You don’t need to think about that at all. Anyway, let’s get better. “I’ll convince my parents, so you don’t have to worry about anything,” he said. He was a man of few words, but he would say things like, “It’s fine just the two of you,” and “Let’s live healthy lives together as a couple,” and I would burst into tears every time he said those things. My husband was one year older than me and was a producer at a television production company. We met on the set of a drama, and since we were close in age, we quickly became friends. I thought, “He’s a nice guy,” and I really liked him, so naturally we started dating. He is usually a quiet person. He doesn’t express himself much, he doesn’t say much, he doesn’t show his emotions, and he’s always the same person. Even when I was hospitalized with cancer, he came to visit me every day, and nothing has changed. I would read a weekly magazine nearby, eat dinner, and then go home, over and over again. For example, I had wondered if they would bring a flower or buy a cake…but nothing had changed and they just came and left. So, I said that jokingly one time. He was like, “I didn’t mean it that way,” and I thought, “Oh, I see.” (Source: 9/22 (Sun) 11:04 Daily Shincho Newspaper) Unable to have children, going bald, becoming fat…but still, Hara Chiaki was supported by her beloved husband. Hara Chiaki.
>>1 You’re overthinking it. If I were a woman in the same situation, I would break up with the man. If you don’t separate things that are fundamental to the life of a living being, there’s no going back. It’s different for everyone, but that’s what I think.
I can’t help it if I can’t have children and I’m going bald because of the chemotherapy, but being fat is not lol. I’m sure I can lose weight if I try lol, or so my husband seems to think.
