What would your reactions be if a doctor said you had cancer and might not have long to live? In my case, my first reaction was WHY ME? There were seven or eight billions people in this world and why it had to be me. Why not someone else? In other words, I could not accept the fact that I had cancer. And for the first few days I had difficulty with sleeping and constantly moody and depressed. When I searched the internet and found out my type of cancer was incurable the situation became worse. I felt like my soul was pulled away from my body. Before I was discharged the doctor told me my cancer had yet to reach serious stage, and the thing that calmed me the most when he said some people survived for 20 years or more for this type of cancer. Further, I didn't even need to undergo chemotherapy unless it get worse. He told me it might be incurable but chemotherapy could control it from getting worse. And I was advised to come straight to the hospital if I started to lose weight badly within a short period of time. After my hospitalisation, I read a huge number of books and articles about cancer and health in general. Something I had never done before. In one of those articles, I found out life expectancy in Malaysia was at 73 to 76 and I was 61, meaning based on statistics I would not have long to live, cancer or no cancer. That's how I learn to accept facts of life, if I don't die of cancer I would probably die of something else. And after that I started living and stopped worrying. Now and then I do blood tests, most of the times my white blood cell are above normal but not as bad as before. Of course, reading does not make a doctor or an expert in cancer. But it makes me aware that we need to take care of our health while we were young so as not to suffer as we get old.
