Brought my 二伯 to 嘉義基督教醫院 yesterday, guess what the hospital smells like? DEATH!

Most of the patients there are 40 years old and above, and all of them looked really serious. Unlike Singapore hospitals like Changi General Hospital, where there's fun and laughter, the atmosphere in Taiwan's hospital is like... Negative.

Right now, the doctor is advising my 二伯 to eat as much and as healthily as possible, coz right now 二伯 has no appetite. According to the doctor, he needs to do all he can to build up his health, then slowly pick up some light exercises. The hope now is not full recovery, but to prolong life. The cancer cells have spread to various organs already, hence it's not possible to undergo an operation. Moreover, 二伯 might be too weak to undergo chemotherapy. So, he gotta eat high protein food like fish, egg, red meat, pig liver and essence of chicken.

The doctor told us that most people have this misconception that a cancer patient should not take high protein food, coz that will further strengthen the canerous cells. But that is a wrong x3! In fact, many people died earlier because of this misconception. So, we tried to explain to 二伯 that his body has to be healthy and nourished so that he can battle the illness. With or without nutrition, the cells will still be there, they'll not die off just because you're deprived of protein.

But my 二伯 didn't want to take essence of chicken, coz he said many cancer patients died faster after taking chicken and duck. Can anyone verify that?

When I visited 二伯 last Sunday, with tears in his eyes, he's first words were "這次看得到，不知道下次回來還看得到"。I think he'll be fine..
