Cancer

I have just came back from visiting my uncle who has cancer. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment once in three weeks. The cancer isn't affecting him, the treatment is. Chemotherapy brings side effects that literally paralyses him, and the fact that his stomach is the point of damage means he couldn't ingest anything solid and he has been taking fluids for weeks. This has resulted in his extremely emaciated physique and weakness. He's only 50, but looks as old as a 70 year old uncle. His manner of speaking is very soft because he is very weak. He has lost at least 20kg and all his bones are visible due to inability to eat. Like he said, the cancer isn't killing him, the treatment is. He's hardly recovered from the previous chemotherapy and tomorrow he has to go on for another.

Take care of your health, everyone. It will really bring you down and crush your world into oblivion, and even if you survive the ordeal, the effect will most likely be permanent. Take care.
