Heartfelt thanks.
The long wait is drawing to an end. I'm to gear up for my surgery which will be held on the 24 September 2008 (at Hospital UKM, Cheras). The surgery will start at 0900 hours.
Throughout this journey, again, similar to what I've experienced in 2006, God's grace has given me a legion of caring friends and acquaintances who've reached out in some way or another to lend a hand in my fight against brain cancer. I am thoroughly humbled by this show of compassion as I am amazed at their tenacity in offering financial support. Nothing is ever certain in life and whatever happens to me days from now, I would like to extend my gratitude to these fine people and establishments for their TLC. A long list so it seems...
