Rest In Peace

//Rest In Peace//

Yep, she has moved on. She passed away around 12.30 pm yesterday, about an hour after we left.

Rest in peace...

Met a 26 year old patient today. Brain tumour. Diagnosed in 2004, one of the later stages already, nothing the doctor can do except symptom control.

Can't talk, can't eat (need to rely on tube feeding), lies in bed the whole day, the only way of communication with family is through simple gestures like nodding and so on, and also through sms. His head is very bloated (due to the medication)

He was a very healthy person before and even when he was diagnosed with cancer, runs everyday, loves to cycle, even went Malaysia for mountain biking before. There wasn't even much obvious symptoms, except some headaches, etc. He was left with half a year before he can graduate from university when he had to go for the brain operation, sadly, he had not graduated, and is unable to carry on with his studies with his condition like that now.

If there's anything that the attachment did, it deters me from becoming joining the Singapore Cancer Society or some similiar organisations like that in the future. Can you imagine meeting patients like the one I just mentioned above everyday? Like the nurse told us, it's depressing stuff everyday, that's why they need to take leave and go on holidays once every few month...to get out of this depressing life.

Block test suddenly seems to be so not important now...in fact preparation for block tests is still non-existant.

Can't wait for Interact BBQ...FOOOOOOOD!!
