Orlando Vacation Homes

Published by Liver Cancer under Health, MISC

And what if we could give all kids having cancer a trip to Disney World? As seen in our previous post about little Lao Yang: kids are all the same, they think the same, they play the same. Some have cancer, some haven’t. Like some parents have cancer, some haven’t.

Yet if traveling adds to your quality of life, then visit the vacation capital of the world: Orlando. Rent a vacation villa directly from the owner at Orlando Vacation Homes : the villa above has 6 bedrooms and you can relax in the privacy of your own swimming pool.

For the latest Disney News, you can take your kids to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom or the Disney-MGM studios.

My best friend who survived breast cancer would surely go on a designer clothes shopping spree in the Millennia Mall. From time to time she likes to go over the top: "you only live once". Myself I would think of my health: just chill out and go on a snorkeling trip in the Florida Keys with its 220-mile coral reef and a hint of the Caribbean.

Dark skin girl

Yesterday I watched the cancer story of a little Chinese girl suffering from skin cancer. The documentary is called "the girl who lives in the dark" and is told from the point of view of the skin cancer doctor.

In my opinion a very over-optimistic view about modern an over-optimistic show about advanced surgical techniques and cutting-edge technology.

Dark skin girl : 9 year old Lao Yang

Wan Lao Yang is a 9-year-old girl from China suffering from Xeroderma Pigmentosum. This is a genetic disorder which makes the skin unable to repair itself after exposure to UV. light. You know: simple sunlight. Lao Yang lives on top of the hills, being even closer to the UV. rays of the sun that harms her body. Due to this, her face got covered with cancer tumors.

This cancer story documents Wan Lao’s journey to Shanghai, and the treatment she receives from a specialist from the famous Great Ormornd Street Hospital. It also explores the work of NASA’s Sun Protection Team which has created a customised ‘sun suit’ for Wan Lao that blocks out 100% of UV rays.

Dream on

A lot of phoo waa , "dream on how advanced technology is these days", "dream on how nice and smart all doctors are", until the skin cancer story gets told a few seconds from the eyes of Lao Wang:

  • without the tumor I will look less ugly
  • I want to be able to go to school again
  • little sister: listen to mom when I am in the hospital

Metastatic cancer is bad, no matter what

Cancer is not the big dream on phoo waa of "what we have achieved with modern technology". Cancer is natures answer to all the damage we are doing to it. And innocent people like Lao Yang who are far away from modern technology even have to suffer more…

Vultures vs undertakers

Published by Liver Cancer under Anger, CANCER STORIES, Cancer, Death

I prefer the first ones. Why? Because you know:

  • they will show up once there is a death corps
  • they clean all up
  • show respect and dignity
  • and they don’t charge for it

We got the bill from our undertaker: charging double prize for the urn we buried father in and charging extra for the flowers he delivered on the graveyard.

We did ask for a written statement of all the costs involved and still now he wants to surprise us with extra costs. As if our head is really up to that, yet he has us by the balls since the stone on fathers grave needs to be made yet….

Well, if there is some justice in this world: people like that deserve to get cancer I find. There are limits in being a con-man…
