  In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer   3   I had my cancer surgeries(外科手术).We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to   4   public awareness(意识).We were happy that   5   many more people went to have a test.They were treated in early stages and able to   6   to normal, healthy lives.

  So now, we feel it is   7   to share it with you.In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater   8   of this condition.Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are   9   by it.

  At the moment I feel just fine.I’d   10   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have   11   done.I will continue to share   12   journey with my beloved Nancy and my family.I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch   13   my friends and supporters.

  Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease   14  , the family often suffers a lot.I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   15   experience.When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   16   it with faith and courage.

  At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of   17   me to serve as your President.When the Lord calls me home,   18   that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism for its future.

  I now begin this   19   that will lead me into the sunset of my life.I know that for America there will always be a bright   20   ahead.

  Thank you my friends.May God always bless you.
