PS/ His attending physician, Dra. ONA was my mom's oncologist also during the time we were like living at Medical City on and off due to my mom's illness that took her life so swiftly just like what happened to FM. Treatment of that malignant neoplasm is really a shot in the dark...and we know the agony habang ang taong minamahal mo ay nakikipaglaban sa ganitong sakit. Money-wise eh talagang uubusin ang pera mong naitago at kulang pa nga ito sa gamot at chemo na kailangan mong gastusan...plus yung hirap na makita mo ang pasyente na unti unting ginugupo ng sakit na tinatawag nating the big C!
