Liver cancer is a killer
My cousin who had suffered from obesity for many years was diagnosed with liver cancer a few years ago.
He was at a shopping mall with his son one day and there was a liver function test being conducted by a medical association at that time, and he decided on a whim to test himself anyway. His test results showed that his liver was not normal and he consulted a specialist.
He was told that he had liver cancer and was advised to start chemotherapy.
He started on a course of chemotherapy sessions and was given a few booster jabs during the treatment. These booster jabs were very expensive but in the end he managed to complete his chemotherapy session.
However, he had a relapse one year later, and died shortly after. He was only 56 years old.
He spent his entire life working hard to put his two sons through medical colleges but never got to see them graduate. That was very sad.
You may know of a family member or a friend who is suffering from cancer, so feel free to leave your comments here.

My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer on Feb.14th, 2007. The doctor gave him 2 days to 2 weeks to live. He died on Feb. 16th, 2007. The cancer had spread and was inoperable. Nothing prepared my family for the shock of his death and we are still trying to deal with it. The ironic thing is my father was scheduled for a colonoscopy the day after we took him to the ER. The stuff he was supposed to drink for the colonoscopy made him ill, which is why we went to the ER where we found out why. People say it gets easier, but for my family, it hasn’t yet.
