a girl on TV said, 'when you are diagnosed with cancer, come straight to Fu Dan.' She said this at the risk of antagonizing the doctors here in Manila. I agree with her.
When you are diagnosed with cancer, and you know that this place holds what amount of hope for you and your family, wouldn't you do it as well??
Let me tell you this, when one of your family is diagnosed with cancer and whose buhay is may taning na, you don't really think anymore. Whatever doctors tell you to do, you do. Whatever they tell you to pay, you pay. Whatever reason they give you, sensible or otherwise, seems and sounds sensible to you na! In short, you don't really care anymore. Mentality: Just do whatever you can do to save her, please!!
When you are diagnosed with cancer.. yeah.. this is good if the diagnosis comes early. But in some cases, it just comes at a time when it's already too late. Too late for you to decide. Too late for you to prepare. Too late for you to understand. Too late to live. And months later, just when you thought you're okay na, you realize that still, there is that one part of you missing. And that it still hurts. That it still hurts so much to remember.
When Dada was hospitalized, I realized so many things! Among these is the fact that when sickness chooses you to be its victim, esp. the big C, you don't really have any choice. You can fight a good fight. But chances are, you will loose all you've got.
When she was hospitalized, we were referred to the best doctors. We were given the best of whatever options they can give us.. but still.. we weren't able to do anything. Nothing. We just had to wait.. and face that fateful day last September.. and try.. live and try to live our lives without her..
So I say, when you are diagnosed with cancer, go straight to Fu Dan. The doctors here were good. I'll have to admit. Very helpful! But Crap... sorry for the bitterness.. but it took them 3 long weeks to confirm what they initially suspected to us!!
