During the Holiday season, I visited a cousin's husband who has just had his colon remove due to cancer.

He was visibly weak and pale as he could hardly open his eye, although, he is concious, he acknowledge with a simple finger movement.

He was posted to his company's China operation in Kunmin,leaving behind his family in Singapore.

When he came back for Christmas to be with his family, they already book a ticket to visit Bangkok for vacation. But his stomach pain was so acute that he consulted doctor and some blood test was done, the report was not in his favour and they have to cancel the holiday and rush to a hospital immediately.

The Hospital did a thorough check including "colonscopy" - is this the right word.

And found that he has 3rd stage colon cancer.

He is only 41 year Young, with 2 young children,usually, one will think that 3rd stage colon cancer will be associated with older people.

The operation was carried out to remove the cancer with a large part of the colon, but the cancer has spread to his intestine, the doctor advise that he should have chemotharapy treatment for the intestine cancer, I did not catch the severity of the intestine cancer.

Well, I hope for the best for him, as he is still young and have 2 young children needed his care and support. Life is precious, without good health, it is going to be pretty tough for his family.

All this could have been possibly avoided as he constantly complain of stomach ache but just take it lightly and did not go for further detail examination since the normal treatment did not stop the symptom.

I am sorry I do not know enough about how stomach ache can lead to colon cancer.

But the story is that life is so unpredictable and you never know what will happen next, treasure the people around you, care for them, and taking care of yourselves is another way to care for them.

So:

Life is short, work hard,Play hard,

forgive quickly, so that each will learn to appreciate the beauty of life, the warm of friendship, have the courage to say sorry, also the strength to forgive.

Kiss slowly, oops, don't know how to describe, as I have only enjoy kissing 1 person in my life, but it is a wonderful feeling, never forget.

love truly,love those surround you, love your family, love your friend, most importantly love your enemy, for you love your enemy, one day your enemy will be your friend and you will not have enemy, life would be wonderful.

Laugh uncontrollably, laughing is the best medicine, laughing can have a positive effect on everything you do, anyway, when you laugh, the whole world laugh with you, when you cry, you cry alone, so why not just laugh.

and never regret anything that made you smile. I do have a few regret, but I will look on the bright side, do the positive, think of the positive, the regret will dissapear, foes and adversary will become friend again, I will improve myself, to improve others.
