Hi everyone, 

Allow me to share to you all our family's story and hopefully I can find people here whom I can talk to, share experiences, ask for advices, etc. 

Our family started our fight with cancer last 2013 when my father was diagnosed with Lymphoma. His battle lasted for almost 8 months. While coping with the loss and recovering from the grief, our fight with cancer started anew when my mother, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Right Renal Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer) last April 2015. Like my father, she is undergoing aggressive and continuous treatment. For the past year and so, we have been in and out of the hospital and my mother was even at the brink of death twice due to heart failure.

As my parents’ ONLY CHILD, I have been assuming all financial responsibilities. While I am combining all of our personal funds, keeping up with the bills has been difficult. Apart from the financial difficulties, going through the same struggle with cancer TWICE has been a torture. Though I am optimistic and have no desire to lose hope, I am at times caught in loneliness. I keep to myself and don't really have someone to talk to who really understands what I am going through. Luckily, I am not the type of person who lets loneliness and sadness get to me. I stay positive and strong for my mom. 

So, to anyone, who is feeling the loneliness or don't know what to do, please do not lose hope. Please stay strong and keep on fighting. 

Blessings, 

Emzs
