We all knew this moment would eventually come but it came quickly and hit us hard.
He look very peaceful as he sleep.
Then everything happen very quickly. His irregular breathing shows a sign of declining. And slowly he took his last breathe, peacefully surrounded by us.
My brother was diagnosis with tongue cancer last July. He underwent operation to remove and flap his oral cavity. Went through a series of RT & a session of Chemo. After the chemo, he was found to have TBD (Telomere Biology disorder). Every bi weekly for blood tranfusion due to unknown cause for his low blood.
Just as we were celebrating the removal of his NGT & he could actually intake orally. Another new mass on his chest struck us with a prognosis of less than a year. And within a span of 2-4 weeks after detecting to restarting of RT, he deteriorate quickly and before we knew it, the tumor mass grew, pressing onto his trachea causing him to cough badly & SOB. This tumor mass is really aggressive. We were devasted. But we know he fought hard.
Always being well like by the neighbours, coffee shop aunty and even the neighbourhood cleaners for greeting them with a smile.
Thank you Weijian, for being my little brother always looking out for me since young.
Apology if I have never been a good sister.
Thank you to the surgical team, ward nurses, radiation team, oncology team, haematology team of docs & nurses for taking care & remembering my brother.
He is painless now.
He is a beautiful angel now!
