6 Letter Curse |1:55 AM

In the past month or so, i recieved news of two people being dumped with the 6 letter curse. This word usually revolves around white gowns and antiseptic rooms and is a close friend with another 5 letter word that we all dread.

Well, its CANCER and DEATH that i am referring to here.

First brush with it this month, was the mom of a very dear friend of mine from army and NTU. Throat cancer was her poison. After a very long op to remove the damn mutated piece of flesh, she's currently recuperating at home undergoing chemotherapy at the same time.

Second encounter involved an msn chat an hour or so ago. A very close pal from army who is doing his degree in NUS was diagnosed with Hepatitis B and liver cancer. He would be undergoing an op on coming wednesday to get rid of the "Thing" that does not belong there and hopefully no chemotherapy needed.

This reminded me of an article i read sometime back. By 20** (can't remember exactly the year) every 1 in 2 persons would be affected by some form of cancer, put another way, approximately half the population would be affected by the problem of mutation of cells. What have we done wrong to create such a situation? Is it the diet? The environment? Or the devices we use? A long list of words come to my mind, radiation, carcinogents (hope i got the spelling right) etc etc.

Depressing day. Depressing news. Depressing shit.

Plain Depressing!

But keep it up people and stay very positive as you all are now. Family members keep it up too! Your support is far more than just important. Sorry to all for having to endure this shitty entry and hope i have not killed your day by making you think about life death and mutated cells too, as i forsee i will be doing so for the rest of the week or so. :(

Well gotta go nurse my throbbing headache that does not seem to go away despite downing 2 panadols.

Take care. All of you.
