hey gundu, don't be too grieve. i fully understands how you feel. and we should really look on the brighter side, that is, passing away is the best relief for cancer patients. i had my grandmother and 2 uncles(my mum's mother and 2 bros) who had passed away due to cancer too. i really hope it is not heredity, but the truth had really proven it is. my grandmother contracted kidney cancer and was undergoing lots n lots of sufferings before she passed away, at year 2001. two years later, it was my smallest uncle's turn. he contracted some bone cancer(don't know what is the scientific term la), it was not the end. then the cancer cells spread to the blood, and it became sort of leukemia. it was not long after, then he passed away. he was only thirty plus then, with two children who were of ages of 6 n 8 only. don't think his childern know what was going on too as they were too young. poor children. and two years after that, my 3rd uncle passed away due to kidney cancer. in 5 years, we had lost 3 family members, all due to contracting cancer!! i'm telling LB this is to let you people know that contracting cancer is really painful for those patients, as well as their family members, and that passing away is really the only way to release them from all those pains. so, i hope gundu can be strong! what we can do now is to treasure the families and friends around us before it is too late!
btw, cool haircut, gundu!
