In the Foreword by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong 新加坡总理李显龙 Singapore:
This book carries lessons for everyone… Readers will be inspired by Prof Cheng’s candour, humility and courage – which come across powerfully in this book.
这本书对每个人都有启发… 读者会被郑教授的坦诚，谦虚和勇敢，这在本书中表现得淋漓尽致，令读者深受启发。—
《我以为我知道》详细地讲述了一位顶尖泌尿外科医生的故事，当他发现自己最擅长的疾病——前列腺癌，发生在自己身上，他的世界崩溃了。2017年12月的一个星期六早上，郑畏三教授躺在冰冷的手术台上，他意识到自己已经进入了一个无法预知的未来。即使他在该领域37年的职业生涯，也无法让他为这一重大事件做好准备——医生变成了病人。郑教授就是要通过这两个截然相反的角色——既是医生，又是病人：来试图揭开癌症患者经历的严酷考验，激发医者的同情心。最后，向本书的读者——患者和护理人员阐明，在面对癌症或任何慢性疾病时，要做出明智的决定。郑教授在本书的最后，敦促医生在行医时积极抱持同理心，并希望能建立一个健全而关怀的医疗体系。《我以为我知道》以一种原始、无拘无束而又敏感的方式书写，奠定了基调，展现了不屈不挠的人类精神的胜利——克服逆境，接受现实。
I Thought I Knew is a poignant, blow-by-blow account of a leading urologist whose world collapsed when he discovered he himself faced the very condition he was expert in – prostate cancer. Lying on a cold operating table one Saturday morning in December 2017, Prof Christopher Cheng realised he had entered the dusk of unknowns. Not even his 37 years of professional life in the field could prepare him for the momentous episode – a professor turned patient. Ironically, it is with these two diametrically opposing pairs of optics that Prof Cheng wears today – as a professor and patient – that he aspires to achieve through this book: to unravel the crucible of what a cancer patient goes through, to inspire compassionate practice in the medical fraternity, and finally, to illuminate readers – patients and caregivers – in making informed decisions when confronted with the news of cancer or any chronic disease. Prof Cheng concludes the book by impelling doctors to vigorously embrace empathy in their pursuits, and envisioning a robust yet caring healthcare system that society deserves. Written in a raw, no holds barred, yet sensitive manner, I Thought I Knew sets the tone to manifest the triumph of the indomitable human spirit – overcoming adversities and coming to terms with acceptance.
