| 八个月插在喉咙里，真的很难受！ |
经过漫长的八个月，今天，我看到Simon 赖玉宏兄弟脸上露出可爱灿烂的笑容，与躺在医院的他，不只是有天渊之别，简直是不可思议！我跟他说，一定要拍张照片，让认识他的人能够分享这份喜悦，而他也很高兴的答应。
大约九个月前，他被证实患上了下巴癌，一种较少有、疗程也非常痛苦的癌症。
在未进行治疗前，他的牙齿必须全部拔掉。过后，他住进了吉隆坡中央医院，整个下颚牙龈给割除掉，然后从大腿拿了一条软骨植入代替。整个手术费时十多个小时。
手术后也是最痛苦的时候。他不能吃，不能喝，不能讲话，躺在病床上整个月，那种痛苦，只有他才知道。医生从鼻孔放置一条胶管，以便倒入液体到肚里，代替进食；另外，医生在他的喉咙开洞放置了一根胶管，帮助他呼吸。
三个月前，他到国家癌症中心进行33次的电疗。
三天前，他回到吉隆坡中央医院，拆除了喉咙的呼吸胶管，犹如千斤重担得以卸下，人也轻松灵活了。想起八个月前，手术后躺在病床，没有力气的他，我们不禁的感谢赞美天主给他的勇气与护佑。
他勇敢的从手术台中出来，一步一步进行接下来的各项治疗，不埋怨，不放弃，在儿子及家人的鼓励下，完成了整个疗程。他的太太在两年前，离开世界。
目前他还要定期回院检查，也祈求癌细胞没有扩散。他现在的愿望是医生能够尽快的给他做上假牙，以便能够好好吃喝。他的味觉在电疗过后，完全损坏了，希望经过一段日子，能够逐渐恢复，让他生活的有点乐趣。
求主祝福他，早日康复，过个正常的生活。
I met Simon Lai this morning. He was radiant, beaming with smile, far cry from the one 8 months ago I saw on the hospital bed.
After 8 months of torturing recovery, doctor removed a rubber tube (pic above) from his throat 3 days ago, allowing him to move freely and talk more easily.
About 9 months ago, he was diagnosed with having lower jaw Cancer. It is a rare disease and the treatment is painful.
Before commencement of treatment, all his teeth were removed. Later, he was admitted to Kuala Lumpur General Hospital for a 10+ hours operation that removed his lower jaw bone, and replaced it with a soft bone from one of his legs.
He was not able to talk, eat and drink for more than a month on hospital bed. The pain and agony were only known to himself. He was being fed with liquid through a tube in his nose. To help him breath, doctor inserted a tube through his throat. It was really really a torturing experience.
He complained not, and went through a period of half a year of recovery at home patiently. Three months ago, he underwent a 33 sessions of Radiotherapy on his lower jaw at the Cancer Institute in Putrajaya. His taste buds were destroyed.
His only wish right now is to have denture fixed as soon as possible to allow him eating and drinking more "tastefully", and pray that Cancer cells do not spread to other part of the body.
May we pray that he recovers completely from his illness as soon as possible, and lives a happy life therein after!
