Worst days of my life

For the past week has really been shocking and heartbroken for me and my family. Everything happens so quickly and now it changes everything. I’m now in the hospital because my mom has been diagnosed with gastric cancer and to make things worst it is already at stage 4. We are in great shock once we were told. My mom has no symptoms at all and she has body check up every year and all the results show my mom is in good condition. It is already the 9th day she’s been admitted. At 1st she was admitted to a hospital in Cheras but then on the 4th day she was transferred to another hospital in Bangsar which has better in expertise and equipments. Each day passes and the whole family members took turns to look after her in the ward. She is getting weaker each day. But then during the night of the 6th day, my mom has breathing difficulties and now she is in Intensive Care Unit. The cancer cells are just too aggressive as it spread to other organs very fast. These cells have now infected my mom’s liver and lungs. Then it affected the kidneys too. Everything just went from bad to worst. We could only see her during the 2 hours of visiting time each day. 2 hours in the noon and another 2 hours in the night. As the rest of the time we’re just outside the waiting area hoping that nothing bad would happen.

Now she is in stable condition but doctor say things weren’t on the bright side. Chemotherapy has been given to her hoping that it will slow down the spread. What I could do now is just sit outside the ICU waiting area and pray hard hoping things will get better. My mom has been such great person to family, friends and work. She eats healthy and lives healthy. She don’t drinks nor smoke. Why does she have to go through all this? It is just not right! My whole family tears drops when we see her getting weaker each day. Even now the tears just kept dropping down while I’m writing this. My dad has caught himself a flu now after so many days of heartache. The kids try the best to ask him to rest while we take care of mom. Dad asks us to take care of ourselves too but it is nothing compared to what my mom is going through now. Just imagine a close person lying on the bed with multiple tubes going through her. She could not drink and eat much. Through her eyes we know she is suffering and it make us very sad. Sleeping isn’t easy for her neither it is for us.

Phones have been ringing for the whole week and I would like to say sorry to those that I did not pick up. It has really been a tough week but we are not giving up hope. Please do not come to the hospital to visit her. We do not want others to disturb and affect her. If you want to help please do pray for my mom to get well and bless her to live more better days ahead. Please…….
