Patient

My patient

He was 59 years old

Being diagnosed of colon cancer

underwent surgery, radiotherapy,

and now

I can see his smile on his face

He was kinda optimistic

He had confidence in himself

that it will be cured

This kind of spirit

is vital

for supporting himself

physically and

mentally

and being discharged this morning

I had did my best to counsel him

and I pray hard for him and also
