An uncle in Singapore passed away recently. He was diagnosed with cancer in July. According to my dad, he refused to be treated, probably because he was already old. On another note, i was informed that a college friend of my age was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. He discovered it when he took a medical check before furthering his master studies in the UK. He is currently going through treatment and I hope he is doing well. This scary shit can be totally random. It doesn't matter how old you are. The rational part of me says i should be getting a medical check but you know, unless something bad happens, you will just keep procrastinating it. Oh well blame it on laziness and ignorance, or human nature is just like ostrich head in the sand. I totally understand why my dad is so dreadful of seeing doctor. The "what if" thought is just too much to bear.
