Nomuun - neuroblastoma cancer patient

My friend, E from Thailand, has just sent me an email about this toddler suffering from neuroblastoma cancer.

She is a Mongolian baby and is currently receiving treatment at a top Thailand hospital. Details on her condition and her fight against cancer at such a young, tender age can be found on the website

It always break my heart to see kids having to go through so much. The only consolation is that at such a young age, she may not completely comprehend the sufferings she is going through. Despite everything, she still looked so happy and carefree. It is her caregivers, especially her parents, who will bear the brunt of her sufferings, looking on helplessly as her tiny body fights the cancer while withstanding the 'hammering' from the chemo.

I hope she continues to make progress, and I hope too, that she will recover to lead a normal, healthy and cancer-free life.

Through contacts, I have since found out that there are so many others who have suffered or are still suffering so much more than me, and so all my closed ones who are still concerned and worried about me should now be relieved that what I have gone through is nothing compared to theirs.
