Fact : A Butterfly only live for 5 daysFact : Tortoise can live until 150 years
Question : How long can you live?
Well, i believe nobody can answer this question. General speaking, patients with stage IV lung cancer, only have 6 months down the line from the time of diagnosis. But, some of them survives for few years (with palliative chemotherapy) while one or two of them succumbed even after the next day after diagnosis been made.
Having few months of exposure working in a respiratory centre in KL teach me that, it is not easy telling somebody that you had cancer and you going to die soon, please do whatever you want quickly while you had time left.
I have come across in a few occasion, patient thanking me after i told them the bad new. Just imagine this, 'Pakcik, Pakcik nie kena kanser paru2 peringkat akhir. Then that unfortunate Pakcik replied back, Terima kasih doktor (for telling me the bad news?). After a while, i realized these group of people, have suffered from illness caused by the cancer for quite some times. Breaking the news answered their doubtful and they can prepare for their death.
Another question is, have we prepare for our?
