Will you cry for me?

You know the link on top of blogspot where you can randomly search for a blog? About 2 years ago, I stumble upon a blog of a 16 year old singaporean girl who has leukemia. I followed her blog for a few months from the time she was still active and smiling till the time when her condition worsen. Day by day she became weaker. Later, her sister help update the blog for her while she spent most of the time lying on the hospital bed.

Each time when I read her blog, I feel so sad and at the same time I wish for miracle to happen. I wish that God will let her live. Her friends and relatives were very supportive. They made her cards and banners wishing for her quick recovery. Then one day, there is no longer an update anymore. I think it was somewhere around May 2006 that she passed away. She was so young. 16 years old is too young for her to die. She have yet experience life, achieve her ambition, go dating, study in university. Life is so unfair sometimes.

I feel a bit pain lately. Pain on the right occipital region and at the angle of mandible where the tumor was removed. I’m not sure whether I feel pain because I was just too tired and stressed studying for exam or because the cancer came back. I had a small chat with my surgery teacher the other day. My teacher was very anxious about why am I here in Russia. I should stay close to my oncologist at home.

Supposedly, in all kinds of cancer, radical surgery should be perform to remove all the cancer cells. If present spreading/metastasis to adjacent tissue, lymph nodes and organs, it should be resected as well. But my lymph nodes were not removed. Because Dr.Foo say I might lose my hearing on right side and my facial nerve might be injured if they perform another surgery on me. So she prescribed me radiotherapy to kill those cancerous cells. In case the radiotherapy not working and there are some remnant of cancerous cells, maybe it will come back again.

What if….. the cancer came back?
Maybe I’m too paranoid and worry too much but I don’t want to die yet. I love everything in my life now. I had a new life, I made new friends, I have a new vision in life. There are still plenty to do. I have yet collected enough from nuffnang to sponsor my kid from WorldVision and go to Rome with Ken. I have planned where to go for my postgraduate studies, my future wedding, my future daugther’s name. What if… suddenly all this things will be taken away from me and I will die?

I wonder who will help me update my blog? My sister or Yvonne.
I wonder who will bring me white roses for my funeral.
I wonder……

If I die one day, will you cry for me?

Will you still remember me?

*I have psychiatry exam later in the afternoon. And I’m feeling headache along with a pricking pain in my right parotid gland region now. Probably I am just too tired and stress. I wish I could lie down and have a good sleep right now but at the same time I’m afraid that once I go into sleep, maybe I will never be able to wake up again.

STOP! Thinking negatively will only encourage your cancer cells to spread!

I hate deaths. You are such a kind hearted person, so I think you will be okay. In case anything happens to you one day, I believe many people will grieve for you. At least, I will. So pls don’t let anything happen to yourself. We’ll be more than happy to lend you a hand in any way we can. =)

Sorry ah, but I won’t repeat what other have said and will continue to say. I just want to remind you that our lives are not judge by how long we live, but what difference we make in the life of others whil we were alive. Leave behind a legacy of love and sharing. Be remembered not for flamboyant gossips surrounding your name, but praises for the great things you have done helping people.

Once you have contributed your share to this world, you will not be afraid of death. Do not cling onto life so tightly as this is all just an illusion. All things will eventually come to an end. Learn to let go. Don’t collect riches in this world. Store them in Heaven.

This is the 1rst time i read ur post. HOPE. that’s wat i’ll tell u. everyone clinch on the hope to live through everyday, and pass on their hope for the other pp. I’m not offending u, but even if u die, other ppl will continue ur ambitions, ur dream, continue to live for ur sake. i’m one of them. although i dunno u well, but i do share ur dream (such as saving kids from WorldVision, etc… which i thought i won’t find others hving tat dream). and one more thing, see the world through GOD’s view, not WORLD’s view. and u might see the differences. secret lies within. hope u will b able to find it.
