Blue

November 2, 2006

I’ve been busy offline organising my mother’s hospitalisation for a relapse of the ovarian cancer. Her health has declined and she’s visibly much weaker, but fortunately still able to read, make tea, watch television, go down to the garden with the dog… Her oncologist has put her on chemotherapy combined with a new drug. Everyone is hoping for the best.

I’ve always wondered what the tumour cells look like. The picture above is from here.
