IN one of his last articles for Fit4life entitled Cry me a river (Sunday Star, Dec 9, 2012), Dr Albert Lim Kok Hooi wrote: “If you have just been diagnosed with cancer in the last fortnight or so, have a good cry. Why not? It is sad and frightening news. There is so much uncertainty. There are many unanswered questions. Thoughts of death flit through your mind. All that you are used to may take on a new complexion. Let the tears flow.
“Then, wipe your tears and regain your composure, for the hard-thinking part is about to start.”
