Big C hits close to home

I've never break any bad news to patients. There were times when I came across patients with terminal cancer but that was before they knew about their illness.

I have always thought this is a difficult task to do.

But what if someone close to you or you are at the receiving end? It was so surreal to hear that someone close is having cancer.Makes me realize no matter how many births, deaths or illnesses that doctors see everyday at the hospital, we are all just human.

I just hope that when the time comes for me to face illness and death, I have the strength to face it.
