As for the copyright issue, there might be a problem if you post the original copy. But not if you tape your own montage of its telecast. Tricky. Did you ask the assistant producer for your DVD? There's no need to wait that long just for the producer to return from her leave. If you want it sooner, let me know.

I am a relatively low-profile, quiet person but couldn't resist the urge to just write you a short paragraph. Have been reading some of your past entries (most have made me smile though some brought out tears) but there are simply too many for me to read them all.

The cancer had spread to his liver as well. Oncologists predicted that he would not last longer than six months because the cancer mass in his liver was big and it was not advisable to remove it through surgery.<BR/><BR/>Shortly after the diagnosis, he had part of his rectum removed and then he underwent a few types of chemo drugs. Sadly, none of the chemo improved his condition.<BR/><BR/>But he survived longer than six months. In fact, he lived through three miraculous years even though he stopped all chemo one and a half years after the surgery.<BR/><BR/>He lived well, with quality. He was able to drive around and was able to eat and laugh like any of us (though he might have been hiding the pain). <BR/><BR/>Why? Because he was extremely determined to attend my graduation ceremony in Australia. And he did. <BR/><BR/>So Shin... live your days believing that you will make it to Josie's 10th or 15th birthday. Believe in yourself and not the cancer! You will make it through. <BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>FangAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650979411395789660.post-13152637758965447592008-11-07T11:19:00.000+08:002008-11-07T11:19:00.000+08:00Anonymous,I've asked the producer for a copy of th...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I've asked the producer for a copy of the documentary about my story and she has agreed to send me a DVD copy of it in a few weeks' time when she returns from her leave. <BR/><BR/>As for posting the film on this blog or on You Tube, as some have suggested...

For...Vivien,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your story with me. For the sake of other readers of this blog, I have a question for you.<BR/><BR/>When you were first diagnosed, what stage was your cancer? Had it spread to the lymph nodes at that time?<BR/><BR/>I ask because if your cancer HAD spread to the lymph nodes, that means cancer cells had gotten out of your breast area and into the rest of your body. So you should've had chemotherapy then. A mastectomy only removes the tissue that had cancer cells in them. Chemotherapy kills any cancer cells that may have strayed into other parts of your body (or tries to). So if cancer cells got out into your lymphatic system, it does no good to remove your breasts - the cancer cells are out there in other parts of your body and you'll have a recurrence. <BR/><BR/>I hope other women reading this realize how dangerous it is to simply remove a breast if the cancer has already gotten into the lymph nodes.Shinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174401097883054144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650979411395789660.post-76581646569569466852008-11-07T10:02:00.000+08:002008-11-07T10:02:00.000+08:00Hi Shin.I heard about you from a colleague who wat...Hi Shin.<BR/><BR/>I heard about you from a colleague who watched the documentary aired on TV yesterday and I decided to check out your blog.<BR/><BR/>My colleague shared your story with me because I am also a cancer patient. I was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago, had a mastectomy to remove my right breast, and underwent hormonal treatment during the last 3 years.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, during one of my treatments cum routine CT scan in April this year, it was found that there were growths in my lungs. The biggest was 2.6 cm. This time, I am not spared from chemotherapy and have just completed six sessions. Total remission is not possible and I have been asked to be prepared for recurrences at any time.<BR/><BR/>Having read some of your postings, I realize that you are really a strong lady and I hope to be like you when I have to go through my last lap in life.<BR/><BR/>I am sure your family is very proud of you.<BR/><BR/>Warm wishes and keep on smiling.<BR/><BR/>VLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
