just finished watching a hk drama series: When A Dog Loves A Cat. Gallen Lo was a NPC patient. After treatment, he had some good times and then the cancer relapsed, infected the lungs and shortened his life to just a 6 month period. initially, he was depressed and upset over his misery life. he realised that it didn't help in changing the situation, so he lived with it, changed his attitude and spent his remaining days meaningfully.
it's just a show and it's exaggerated to contrast the changed in his life before and after the cancer relapsed. still, this can happen to me, anytime. i'm not fearful of death, but i'm 100% intimidated by the power of Cancer. from the day my dad fell unconscious at home to the day he departed, it took less than 25 days. anything is possible, for life is so unpredictable.
i asked myself, if today my doctor told me my cancer relapsed and i'm left with half a year, what will i do. it didn't take me much consideration to come out with this answer: i'll go back to work, save more money for my family before i leave them.
