How come life is so FRAGILE?

As I'm still trying hard to live my life without my father,
another bad luck struck our family.
My cousin bro - Bryan was diagnosed with brain tumour.
He is only 14, for God's sake!
Why it have to be us?
And there is no early sympthom that tells you have a tumour in your brain!
He was having double visions the last one week, so the parents decided to bring him to the doctor. But when the doctor advised to go for MRI - specifically for scanning any damaging cells (CANCER) in your body. The parents got panic and inform everyone of us on the bad news.

Later that day, doctor confirmed the boy has a tumour blocking the brain's fluid (there is medic term, but too long to remember). Whether the tumour is cancerous can only be confirm after a biopsy. But the tumuor is dangerous to the brain as it had block the fluid to drain and replenish it self. Therefore, an operation is needed ASAP to have a bypass passage so that the brain will not overflow with the fluids. But that is a dangerous op for any human being.

So sad to hear that. How a 14 year old boy tahan all that kind of pain.
It's unbelievable.

Cancer killed my father.
I am praying so hard that it will not happen to anyone else in the family.
Yet, the bad luck struck twice!
Damn it!!!

How can YOU be so cruel!

But the op went well and as per doc's experience the tumour may not be cancerous.
Well, we were glad but still have to refer to the biopsy report before over happy about that.
As we try to get as more info as possible from the doc on how suddenly a brain will has a tumour in it, cos the kid is sound and healthy since baby. The doctor said the boy was carrying the tumour since he is a baby. Every tumour grows as you age. And brain tumour gives no early sympthom. When the sympthom starts to unleash, it usually at the most critical situation.

Bryan, everything is taken care of.
Please be strong.
But as he is just too young to know this, we never disclose the news to him.
He thought something wrong with his eye therefore need to go for an op.
God, please give the family more strength to pull it through.
