I just came back from my visit at my uncle's house. The one with cancer. I don't really know what to expect and react when I first reach his home. Should I be all somber and remorse or should I act like how I usually do?
But when I enter the house, all my relatives were gathered around him, talking loudly and laughing. Then, my father, ever the joker in the family, started to talk with my uncle, joking along the way. From what I can observed, they were taking the news rather well. They were not in loss of hope as they just came back from Penang, consulting with a doctor who do research in cancer and Chinese herbs. I did not really catch what they were saying as I was kacau-ing my nephew. All in all, still got hope.

Cancer
I was just told by my mother this morning that my uncle had lung cancer and it's in the final stage. As some of you might know that I have too many uncles, he is my father's older sister's husband. It was a rather shocking news as he is, as I know, a healthy man. The only thing that popped out in my mind when I first heard of it is cigarette. He is quite a smoker. I guess for him, it's a way to destress after a day's work. According to doctor, he got around 3 to 6 months left.
I still have yet to visit him as my mom wants to wait for my father's return from work this Friday before we go to the hospital what with the H1N1 epidemic crisis and all. I do believe in miracle and that my uncle could fight the disease. Hopefully, his family will have the strength to overcome this horror.
Cigarette is something I would not touch for the rest of my life. You may think it's cool to have it hanging at your lips, smokes puffing out of your mouths but once you hit the jackpot, you would not think so. I would not trade my life for such coolness. Cigarettes are really cancer sticks in disguise, people! Wake up and stop throwing your lives away for it! Think of your loved ones before you lights up!
Say NO to it!!!

Fungal Infection
Came back from the doctor's visit regarding the red spots on the groin areas. Been around there for almost like 2 months. At first, it just some reddish spots. Then, skin started to dried and peeled off. Now, it's even a bit painful on those sore sites.
After a quick look by the doctor, he knowingly pointed out that those were signs of fungal infection. I was like OMG, where the heck did I get that from? I'm guessing those bloody washing machines provided in my hostels are the one to blame.
Doc said that two weeks later should be all right. I hope so.
