SINGAPORE, Sept 17 (The Straits Times/ANN): Madam Lim Gek Meng's life was turned upside down in October 2020, when she was diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer, which had spread extensively to her liver.
The 61-year-old's prognosis as a Stage 4 colorectal cancer patient was grim - with chemotherapy, less than 20 per cent, or fewer than one in five such patients, survive beyond five years.
