Two months since....

I have been very busy for the last couple of months.....family and work. That was why there had been a lapse in my blogging. And soon, I and my two princes will be away for a few weeks joining my husband, enjoying summer now.

Just briefly, I had another friend who lost the battle against cancer recently. A strong lady who fought till the last. I still remember for the last time I visited her, she was so happy to see me. She was so energetic and talkative as if nothing was wrong with her (though she knew she would not have that much chance as the disease was so progressive, affecting her brain!) When I saw her like that, I had the confidence that she will rise over the top. Sadly, she had to give up the fight. I cried when I heard the news from her relative.....I pray that she is now in the safe-keeping of Allah......

The other story...I had another patient referred to the specialist after her doctor had confirmed that the lump in her breast had been found cancerous. Panic and confuse, the sister-in-law called me up, seeking some advice, as surgery was suggested immediately the next day. Honestly, I myself was unhappy on the advice to do the surgery immediately, giving her no room, not to say 'think' but learn how to cope the situation. I asked myself questions like what if she need to undergo major surgery? Can she cope? How will she take care of her 1+ years old baby? Is she ready? These what led me to refer her to my specialist friend in town. I feel relieved when my friend managed to squeeze her in the hectic appointments she already had. I had not contacted them since and I am sure, everthing will go well......
