What do you do when Life put you on Notice

It was 14 Feb 2024 (valentine day) since i was diagnosed with Stage 4A nose cancer. Had my treatment, chemo and proton theraphy and just went back to work in Aug 2024.

Post note : Aug 2025 - it’s a walk in the park for me compared to my wife current side effects. Yes, its her turn now.

It was an expensive affair of almost a $100k at a pte hosp which I paid almost nothing due to my extensive insurance coverage together with my company insurance benefits.

I have also learnt to appreciate Life more and realise that Life is not forever. Your loved one will be gone someday, and thus, cherish them more.

Time waits for no one and you can’t buy time. I have everything material, a BMW, a penthouse condo and a good career but its what wiseman says - it is just passing clouds.

Some songs became more meaningful ie, “Ordinary Road” - english translated song from “Ping Fan Zi Lu”. To those who are facing the same situation - do not despair cos you are not alone.

To those who require mental support - feel free to msg me.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be a life-altering experience. For many, it prompts a reflection on what truly matters. Stories like mine illustrate that cancer changes perspectives, leading to a deeper appreciation for life and relationships. Financial concerns during treatment are common; it's crucial to understand options such as insurance coverage which can significantly alleviate burdens. Additionally, songs and art often provide comfort during tough times. The power of music can be especially healing; for instance, "Ordinary Road" resonates with many undergoing difficult journeys. Support from others is invaluable, so don't hesitate to reach out to someone who understands your experience. Engaging with communities—whether online or offline—can help in realizing that you are not alone. Sharing stories fosters connection, hope, and resilience. Life remains precious and, in facing challenges, we learn to embrace every moment, treasure our loved ones, and navigate our paths with renewed purpose.
