My brother who was younger than me by one years old, suffered from brain cancer. He fought bravely and he managed to endure for 1.5years. It happened not long after we got our "O" Level results, he was in the express stream while i was in the normal stream. We did our revision together, and exchanged notes together.
He fainted during midnight on Labour Day, i could recalled vividly.... There was a loud bang from the living room, and everyone of us rushed out. My mum shouted for helped. Luckily my sis's ex bf was in and he drove us to NUH. Bad choice, we could have brought my brother to a better hospital. He might have survived. The doctor first said it was FITS, then said he would be unable to drive and do sports next time. Then the doctor said it was brain tumor. After that the doctor said it was a cancerous brain tumor. Then the doctor said it was a malignant one. Sad right? A healthy boy like him suffered from these type of torture. After his first operation, he insisted to join me back in school. He told me he didn't want to be lack behind, he didn't want to miss any modules. We were both in Ngee Ann Poly... I remembered he loves the ham&cheese sandwiches, cheesecake and ice mocha at The Atrium...
He even took the exams! He cleared his first semester, and we were very proud of him. During our second sem, his condition got worsened. He often suffered from FITS, and would fall into coma. But still he endured and complete his exams for the second semester. Soon after, he was admitted to the hospital again. The doc then said he needed another operation. I skipped many of my lectures that time, as i needed to take care of my brother during night time. My mum will see him during day time. Fortunately i have my poly friends who helps me alot.. They kept all the notes for me and helped me with my tutorial and projects.
Zhenyu stood by me during that tough times. He accompanied me during night shifts as well. We would accompanied my brother for poker cards game when he was conscious that time. All he want is to survive... if only we had enough money for better treatment.
He didn't even got a chance to celebrate his 18th birthday. He have got so many regrets. He loves foot reflexology, but never had a chance to have one good one. Life is so short, he loves studying and yet many people choose to give up. He wanted to live, and yet people choose to end their lives.
He will always be in my heart. Ah boy, please bless mummy with joy and good health.
