Hi dolphinsiah,


Be positive, it may not be afterall! and I hope sincerely that this is a false alarm!

[dolphinsiah]

Good morning Everybody,


Thank you to all of your encouraging and warm words.... :thankyou:

Let's hope the CT scan result is negative...

Dare not let the kids now about the Dad conditions...

No point I cried buckets of water and get everybody worried....

Last year ,when spouse was diagnosed with rectum cancer...
Even dare not tell 80 year old mother in law...till now she cannot figured out how her son from 80kg dropped to 60kg within 1 month...
We told her that the son went for piles operation...

The battle of the rectum cancer lasted about 4 months....
Spouse had to carried a temporary bag for 2 months after operation ...this is for the rectum to cure.

So the sight of the bag around his wrist -which contained his excretion...
make him depressed and he refused to eat... :gloomy:

And I had to help him change his bag now and then....
Each time I feared the Bag will leak.....so stress :stupid:

And he had to be admitted to hospital for hydration....
Everybody thought he undergo Chemo....
He was so depressed .... :scared:

So if this time ...the cancer replase....I feared he will go into depression again... :heartbroken:

I hope it will be negative....

hi dolphinsiah,


I cannot begin to imagine the nightmare it must be for you to wait for results to be back. You and DH had gone through this nightmare before and to have to even think about doing it again must be way beyond daunting.

In all, remember your kids’ whose future both of you are fighting for. My mantra is usually expect the worst, but hope for the best. But in this case, I cannot offer anything but best wishes and may you stay strong.

You have to take care of yourself because life is a long journey ahead. I wish and hope that you and DH can walk down a long long road ahead, hand in hand.

Cheers and joy to you!

Dear Dolphinsiah,

With the advaced medical technology, cancer is now kind of chronical discease and rectum cancer is one of the most curable type...There are some Stories of Hope in the below link and some articles written by Dr Ang Peng Tiam who was once the oncologist of our PM.

Good morning everybody,


Sorry , need to belt out my grievences again....

When spouse was disgnosed with Rectum Cancer Stage 2...I know he can make it ...

Because the survival rate of Rectum Cancer is almost 90% or more...
Furthermore , the operation is at the Anus....which means not so complicated....

But now to Battle Lung Cancer....is very tough....

The operation involves removing Lung Lobes....
When you have portion of your Lung Lobes remove...how to breath???
Survival Rates for Lung Cancer seems very low about only 15%... :shock:

So can't help to worry...very worry....

My Heart like having heart attack....so pain...

The CT scan result indicate a mass of leison(soft tissue) around the right middle lobe of the lung...
ANd report said there is also various spots on the lymph nodes ...

Looks like the CT scan result is no good.... :stupid:

Next week spouse doing Bronchoscopy to see whether the tissues are Cancerous or not....

So more worry....

This time , I told my kids ...maybe I should break down....
Cry buckets of water...and let them handle themselves:faint:

Spouse is a Christian....so my mom said asked him to pray hard...

Me I am a buddhist ...I believe that :

生老病死 is our way of life...

But this mishap is just too soon ....from the last year mishap...
I just managed to recover from last year mishap...

Now the cycle starts all over again....:gloomy:


And this time round my whole body and mind is always in fear.... :x

Imagine you see a body being operate again and again....so heart breaking :heartbroken:

So lost....can I go and hide :imdrowning:

hi dolphinsiah,


I’m very sad to hear that. Does it mean that there is still a chance (no matter how slight) that it may not be cancer? Pardon my ignorance.

If you want to vent, if you want to cry, please go right ahead to release your feelings (probably might want to find a place first). The road you are treading on is not easy and many would have collapsed already.

Be strong, stay strong and just focus on the immediate road ahead. My wishes with you…

hi dolphinsiah,


Hugz. I know no words can lessen ur worries and pains till the results is out. Hold on though the path ahead seem dark and unknown here.

I believe in life after all the lows, things will start to get better .
