Suki Chen finishes a novel while in cancer treatment


28 Apr - Despite suffering from breast and skin cancer, former actress Suki Chen has successfully written and published her novel, "Last Call".

In an interview with Mingpao recently, Suki shared that she faced challenges in the form of her own weakening health while she was writing the book, which revolves around two chefs with a passion for cooking.

She even wrote her disease into the book, with one of the characters suffering from a similar ailment.

Suki shared that part of the reason why she was able to finish the book was because she was bored while in the hospital. The actress said she would continue to write until the book is finished no matter how tired she was.

"At the time", said Suki, "all I thought was to make sure the book is completed even if I would not survive."

As for her current health, Suki shared that her weight plummeted nearly 20 pounds while she was ill. However, now that the surgery is completed, she has become gradually healthy and gained her weight back.

However, she would still undergo her medical examinations from time to time and pay attention to her eating habits.
