Getai singer Angie Lau, younger sister to getai singer-actress Liu Lingling, has shared updates on her ongoing cancer treatment.
Last year in March, the 54-year-old — who recovered from breast cancer in 2014 — had relapsed. Initially in June, her stage 4 cancer was stable, but Angie later revealed in August that the cancer cells had spread to the rest of her body, including her lymph nodes, lungs, throat, bones and brain.
In December, Angie shared that her brain tumour had shrunk in size from 2cm to 0.03cm.
Angie visited the hospital for a checkup yesterday (Jan 4) and shared her updates with 8world.
The local publication noted that her voice sounded stronger than before, and her hair had started to grow back after she endured 12 sessions of chemotherapy last year.

"However, I still don't have enough energy. After speaking continuously for 15 minutes, my voice will 'crack'," Angie said.
She is still unable to sing, and also revealed that she had issues with fluid accumulation in her lungs, and was hospitalised for three days last month.
Angie's latest medical report showed that, though the cancer cell index in her body has not decreased, it has not gotten worse either and is under control.
After ending her rounds of chemotherapy, Angie has been taking anti-cancer drugs and her doctor suggested she could be given anti-cancer injections instead and does not need to undergo more chemotherapy for the time being.

South Korean actor Gong Yoo has worried fans by deleting most of his Instagram posts in the wake of his Coffee Prince co-star Lee Sun-kyun's suicide.
On the 44-year-old's profile, only two posts remain. One from Oct 13 last year shows him in a dressing room, smiling for the camera.
The other is from Dec 30, showing a black square and captioned with the date of Sun-kyun's funeral.

"Come back when you're ready," a fan also commented.
G-Dragon has been busy since he was cleared of drug-use allegations last month.
The K-pop star joined a new agency, Galaxy Corporation, following his departure from YG Entertainment, and will make a comeback in 2024.
He also set up an anti-drug foundation JusPeace, a portmanteau of justice and peace, and plans to donate 300 million won (S$300,000) to it.
