Omsk woman beats stage four cancer after concealing diagnosis

For five months, doctors could not find the cause of her illness. And when they did, Tatiana Krishlauks hid the diagnosis from everyone. She was not afraid of death, but of the thought that everyone around would look at her with pity, that she would become a burden to her family.

«I didn»t want to be pitied,« she explains.

Strong and accustomed to being a support, she was falling apart inside from shame and guilt towards her husband. What broke her was not the illness, but a social media post where she was already «buried.» Then she spoke up, began to fight, and won. But the price turned out to be high.

Now Tatiana Krishlauks lives an ordinary life, only checking her health annually. She spends her free time with family and friends. In the article by Anastasia Vlasova, you will learn how the price of victory included burned veins, night fears, and a metal joint where her own bone used to be.
