Ahead of disease treatment

I have lung cancer, and it has spread to lymph, and I have had three surgeries. There seems to be almost no five-year survival rate. Even so, I worked hard together with my family, lived up, and took the path of life. However, it has spread again, and now I am undergoing anticancer drug treatment and radiation therapy. They have four children, and the youngest child is in the first grade of elementary school. No matter how hard I try, I feel like I'm being thrown down. From now on, we will continue to work hard and take the path of living, but if God exists, why is it likely that our family will be tested over and over again and our lives taken? I also experienced a tsunami. A dead person was buried along with the rubble, and in front of that, the child had a head injury, and the two children were left behind at school, picked them up with the Self-Defense Forces, and were lucky, but at the time of the earthquake, I saw many people robbing money and people who were happy about the earthquake at work. Our family is not that kind of person, and we are working hard to live. Is God watching? I can't give my family to anyone; I want to get well, work sweat, and grow bigger. Please ask God instead of me. It would be hard to eat without me. Please give me ten years of good health and a body to work with. I'm trying to live. I want to be with my family, let them live, and raise them with my own strength.

thank you.

I read Ma-san's thoughts.
I want to understand how you feel, but I can't. I'm impressed by how much they love their family even in the midst of so much pain.

I still don't have much experience in life, and I can't tell anyone anything.
I don't know if God is watching.
I don't know if God exists.
I don't know why the Ma-san family had such hardships overlapping.
I don't know what's going to happen in the future.
There are only things I don't understand.
There are only things I hate when I think about it.
But there's something I understand.
That is, now, Ma-san is alive and with her family. Right now, my family is living with Ma-san.

I also want to express more gratitude and love to my family and myself who take it for granted, and don't forget to thank you even for the little things. It made me feel like that.
Thank you so much for meeting Ma-san and making me think about it.

Things that exist within children

Nice to meet you. I saw it.

While facing a serious illness, he spelled out his compassionate feelings for his family, and I reread it over and over again.
When health that was taken for granted collapses, a number of commonplace things that have been piled up on top of health become commonplace. I saw that kind of regret over and over when I was working in the rehabilitation department. Even when I visited Tohoku, I was told by many people that they were burning in their heads and couldn't leave.
It seems unfair, but it can happen to anyone.

You have 4 children, don't you? Is your younger child 1 year old? Maybe it's about time you bring your friends home. Everyone was able to survive the disaster of that earthquake, didn't they?

The “cells that never died” inherited from grandparents, great-grandparents, and ancestors long before them definitely exist in you and in your children's bodies.
Your way of life should burn into even your youngest child's mind. Therefore, please approach treatment with courage and hope while conveying what you should tell your children now.

Ma-sama
Thank you very much for your reply.

My monk prays for you too!

He's a lousy idiot who is stupid, lousy, and can't do anything, but from now on, I'm praying to Amida every day for you. You too are risking your life to heal! Please pray to Shinto and Buddha believing that you will be healed. I live for my family. Let me show you a miracle. Once healed, let's celebrate together. I can't drink alcohol, so use juice! Please be sure to contact us when you are well.
I pray for your recovery. Jōkō-ji
