dear all,

haven't been up here for a long time...

going through a really tough period right now.

my dad just had 3 major operations within a month. The doctors have confirmed that he has cancer and that the surgery couldn't completely remove all the bad cells. We were told that both radio and chemotherapy won't be effective, so we are against the idea of letting my dad go through both treatments.

I could still remember the night of my dad's third operation (on the 17th), the surgeon had told us tt it would only be a 3-hour op, but my dad wasn't out until 6 hours later. My mum and I were frantic, waiting outside the OT door. Right afterwards, my dad was sent to ICU unit. Even till today, images of my dad lying in ICU are still fresh in my mind. It was terrible to see my dad so helpless, strapped at both ankles and wrists, with tubes and needles poked into various parts of his body.

not going to tell the full story here...
right now, he is slowly on the road of recovery (although the cancer cells are still ard.) but at the very least, his life is out of danger, my family and I will just have to take a step at a time. We are thinking of taking him to Chinese physicians instead but that will happen only when he's fully recovered.

will just take a step at a time and see how things go...

hope everyone else is doing well..
