Lucky to be Alive

There is a lady, Ms M, who is getting married in Feb 2008, in my team weight loss. Her fiancee Mr B got cancer when he was 22 years old. I believe that is related to him working at Stein Mart and exposed to a lot of unknown products. Anyway his tumor was inside his mouth/neck area and grew really big. The tumor has metastasized all the way to his lungs. Ms L's brother-in-law to be was in Medical school back then and he asked his professor about Mr. B's case. Team of experts had a meeting, out of 16 of them only 2 voted to go for an operation, which means the experts thought the chance of success is pretty low.

Mr. B was operated on, his scar was clearly visible from the left side of his jaw to side of his neck , and I was told that it went all the way down to his left thigh. Mr. B survived the operation and he is healthy and alive now. Lucky for him to know a girlfriend with connections.

Often, I lost sign of how fragile lives are. As I have more in life, I want more in live. And every luxury will be meaningless when the essentials are gone. Even the essentials are meaningless when our health is gone. Of course we one dies, there is no dream to chase.
