Our Campaign Story
ends 30 Jun 2018, 11:59 PMIn 2014, my mum was diagnosed with Stage 3 Nose Cancer. Despite her small frame, she has put up a strong fight against the disease. She eventually passed on in Jan 2018, but her spirit never dies! Myself as a caregiver, I understand and have seen the pain and tiring experience of chemotherapy sessions and I know the queing and waiting is terrible.
There are more patients each day, and that number is growing.
There are limited number of nurses at each station.
There are limited number of beds/machines/chairs.
There are overwhelmingly a lot of drugs needed.
Do you know a large part of the time spent is because of the waiting, each session lasts for a couple of hours but due to the facilities constraints it could easily take up a full day ?
Many of these patients needs to do chemo at least once a week, some 3 times and more!
Worse still, in each visit patients have to face dozens of times of needle poking and blood taking.
Of course, I have not even mentioned the side effects of the condition eg. hair loss, weight loss, appetite loss etc.
So Join me as I run (a full marathon) to raise funds to alleviate this issue, or support them as they fight against cancer!
Thank you in advance for the kind support!
