Anh Tuyet’s real estate business is very convenient. Around the mid-2000s, she “studied” people to buy land, if it was cheap, she would buy it, or even buy it without going to see it.

Anh Tuyet’s brother scolded: “My son buys land, but it’s like buying a potato”. Yet, Anh Tuyet bought and sold this land to another piece of land, from Ho Chi Minh City, Long Thanh, Ba Ria – Vung Tau to Hoi An.

Until one day, she was startled to realize that she had so much land that she couldn’t manage it all. There are plots of land in Long Thanh, Vung Tau, which she has not visited for 10 years.

7 times on the operating table, “a bunch” of screws on the body

“God gave” Anh Tuyet a lot, but also took a lot from her. During her youth, she worked hard to build a career. When she had a bit of fame and a life without economic worries, Anh Tuyet had serious health problems.

She went to the operating table 7 times, from appendix, tonsils, childbirth to herniated discs, spinal degeneration.

Only for herniated disc disease and spinal degeneration, Anh Tuyet had to operate 3 times. Currently, she still wears 6 screw braces on her spine and 3 in her neck. “Sometimes, I think I’m a robot,” singer said in the press.

The surgeries that Anh Tuyet remembers the most are related to her bone and joint disease. The first time Anh Tuyet was on the operating table was in 1999.

During a singing session, Anh Tuyet raised her head to the ceiling when she suddenly felt a sharp pain. Wondering what was wrong with her, Anh Tuyet slowly raised her head again and the feeling was still the same.

She simply thought that her neck might have a problem, but because of her busy schedule, she couldn’t go to the doctor right away.

After a while, she also forgot to go to the doctor. Until one day two years later, she lost feeling in her hands, could not hold cups and chopsticks to eat normally… Anh Tuyet just arrived at the Ho Chi Minh City Orthopedic Hospital.

The doctor diagnosed her with disc herniation, degeneration of four cervical vertebrae, two lumbar vertebrae and four mid-back vertebrae. Due to the most severe cervical spondylosis, doctors were forced to operate immediately to avoid causing spinal cord compression.

Because Anh Tuyet is a singer, the doctor had to operate from the back to ensure the aesthetic factor as well as the vocal cords for her. However, surgery from the back also means higher risks but fortunately the surgery was successful.

Anh Tuyet underwent 7 surgeries. She wears many braces and screws because of degenerative spine disease and herniated discs…

However, she is always upbeat and cheerful. Because she believes that people are only born once and only die once, so live happily.

In 2007, Anh Tuyet had her second surgery. At that time, she sometimes felt unsteady while walking and wanted to fall. At first, Anh Tuyet thought she had lost her balance due to low blood pressure, dizziness or maybe because she thought and worked a lot.

But when she went to the hospital, the doctor concluded that she had a herniated disc that led to her inability to control her upper body. She had to surgically cut the bulging disc out of the bone and find a way to keep the remaining three back vertebrae, which had also degenerated.

Thought that her health would be better, but 4 years later, Anh Tuyet once again had to ask the doctors surgery spine for the 3rd time. The back pain tormented Anh Tuyet to the point where she could not bend over, sit or walk.

Since then, she has lived with pain, from sciatica to other pains. Because, the female singer also suffers from stomach pain, adrenal insufficiency and a benign tumor in the pituitary gland in the brain.

Although she has to live with illness all year round, but Anh Tuyet is always optimistic and cheerful. Even once lying on the table waiting for surgery, she wittily told jokes to the doctors to ease their stress and also a way to reassure herself.

Anh Tuyet’s current peaceful life in Hoi An. She is a gardener and has pets such as dogs, cats, pigs, chickens…

Once, a friend asked Anh Tuyet: “‘She was carefree, what if she died tomorrow”? She replied, “‘Yes, just die'”.

The female singer believes that, even if tomorrow is no more, today must be smiling: “‘I’m born once and die once, it’s just that sooner or later, there’s nothing to fear'”.
