The Week That Was

This past week has not certainly gone down well for me not only with the recent judiciary video expose but also on a personal note, Dad was confirmed to be facing the Big C (cancer). And I just found out that a good mate's Mum was also diagnosed with it as well.

We were half expecting it as during the battery of tests, Dad had to go through the same regime as when Uncle Oi Mun (Dad's younger brother) went through when he was first diagnosed as having the Big C. Uncle Oi Mun has since passed away last year, some 6 months after he was first diagnosed. We have certainly been clocking up the miles & hours running to the hospital for tests, getting reports etc and all the waiting but that's the least I can do for the time being. Everyone's worried sick of course but surprisingly, Dad seems to be quite nonchalant about the whole thing. In fact even before getting the results, he's been announcing to all & sundry about it. Well I suppose that's my Dad for you, happy go lucky & the most easy going person you'll ever meet.

We'll be seeing another doctor tomorrow for a 2nd opinion & hope the prognosis is more positive. One way or another, we're not giving up hope and will remain positive whatever the opinion may be and just hope to be able to give the best care and management to the problem as we can.
