Cancer and Me

On one of my initial visits to the Cancer Centre in NUH, I noticed that the cancer patients were all rather old. Most of them were old enough to be my grandparents. They were weak and frail.

I turned to my mum with a little self-pity and said, “Mee, I think I am the youngest patient around.”

Her reply was, “The cancer centre for kids is next door.”

My heart sank.
