Cancer...more cancer news…

How would you feel within less than 1 month, you 2 persons whom you know are suffering with cancer?

This year itself, a few of mummies’ friends (including a lovely+brave mummy and a cheerful colleague) and mummies’ friends’ friends/relatives who suffered with cancer and some already went to be with God. Life is sooo precious.

Last Sunday, we visited KongKong’s elder brother who just got one lung being removed due to cancer. He couldn’t do chemotherapy and had to take expensive medication, maybe due to his old age. It was such sad news because Mummy’s Ah Pek was a nice and patient uncle.

Last week, one of Mummy’s colleagues was admitted for full check-up which ended up having his liver shown to be had spots. While endoscope was being done, he complained pain at his neck and the doctor found his lymph node was swollen. A biopsy was done on his swollen lymph node because a biopsy couldn’t be done on his liver which would cause massive bleeding. This afternoon, during lunch time, we got the news that we didn’t want to hear. His lab test had shown CA Positive.

This colleague had been working and supporting Mummy on this project. Even though the project Mummy had to do alone but he was always there to follow Mummy to a meeting and give his input to assist. He even sms Mummy last Friday when he was in hospital to inform Mummy that he couldn’t make it to yesterday meeting with Mummy.

The whole department was down that even Mummy’s team head who was in overseas for audit assignment was also sad to hear. Mummy’s team head did call Mummy on Friday night to wish Mummy the best for the Saturday exam plus breaking up the news about this colleague whom he knew Mummy was working closely together. Some of the department colleagues had visited him last Thursday and Friday. Some were on the way to visit him today. We were trying to keep to a few small groups to visit him and motivate him. Mummy would either visit him tomorrow or next week when the team head back from his overseas assignment.
