Mama..Kepergian Mu Ku Relakan (09 Jan 2008)

Mama...aku masih terkilan kerana berasakan aku tidak pernah menjagamu sewaktu hayatmu dengan sebaiknya:dan aku juga yang memaksa mama untuk mendapatkan rawatan di hospital kerana begitu yakin dengan cara rawatan moden untuk menyembuhkan mama (tongue cancer). Bahkan sewaktu mama berhadapan dengan penyeksaan dan penderitaan di katil hospital (dicabut kesemua gigi sebelum menjalani beberapa siri rawatan radioterapi dan kemoterapi yang semakin melemahkan daya tahan mama, menggugurkan rambut mama yang memang tidak lebat :mama masih mampu berseloroh yang mama terpaksa pakai gigi palsu selepas sembuh): terasa tidak banyak yang aku perbuat untuk menghiburkan mama yang sememangnya perlukan perhatian yang lebih pada saat-saat itu. Terasa kurangnya kasih sayang ku terhadap mama yang mengandungkan aku dan membesarkan aku. Aku masih teringat pada hari-hari terakhirmu (di rumah, setelah doktor membenarkan mama dibawa pulang: kerana sudah "tiada harapan") tepatnya sehari sebelum mama 'pergi'. Aku sempat melihat senyum lemah mama yang terakhir saat aku sudahi memotong dan membersihkan kuku di jari-jari mama yang semakin lemah (mama masih pentingkan kebersihan diri pada saat-saat itu)sambil mama memaksakan (berusaha) bercakap dengan kawan-kawan/saudara mara mama yang datang melawat...mama sempat memanggil nama 'seseorang' dan menunjuk ke arah jalan yang nyata tiada siapa-siapa berada di situ (bodohnya aku kerana kurang pengetahuan: mungkinkah petanda mama akan segera 'pergi'?). Ternyata benar, pada tengah malam itu juga mama telah 'pergi' buat selama-lamanya (aku tidak berada di rumah mama waktu itu:mungkin mama tidak mahu aku melihat kepergian mama yang penuh seksa). Siangnya, aku cuma mampu mencium mama buat kali terakhir sambil memerhati seraut wajah mama yang begitu tenang dan sekujur tubuh mama yang di pembaringannya. Tuhan, terima kasih kerana Engkau telah melepaskan mama dari penderitaan dan penyeksaan.semuanya terjadi atas kehendakmu......sanak saudara, sahabat handai, rakan taulan mama yang datang memberi penghormatan terakhir buat mama begitu ramai..membuktikan mama adalah seorang yang begitu baik dan penyayang semasa hayatnya,..kasih sayang mama pada setiap yang mengenalinya tiada tolok bandingnya..... Mama...maafkan aku kerana aku sedar aku belum puas bersama mu,menyayangimu dan disayangimu..belum sempat ku balas semua pengorbanan mu buatku...damailah di sana..anak mu sentiasa akan mendoakan mu..amin *Mama (Afong bte Pandayangan) menghembuskan nafas terakhir pada 09 Jan 2008 setelah menderita kanser yang pada mulanya dikesan mengalami bengkak (ketulan) di lehernya dan akhirnya didiagnosakan sebagai kanser lidah (dan tekak) yang pada hari-hari terakhirnya hanya mampu mengalas perut dengan susu formula melalui tiub yang disalurkan melalui hidungnya...terlalu banyak cerita dan derita yang tidak terungkapkan..sama-samalah kita mendoakannya di alam sana..

BONE CANCER......sekadar pengetahuan bersama (memori untuk yang telah tiada akibat penyakit ini)


What is bone cancer?!

Bone cancer is caused by a problem with the cells that make bone. More than 2,000 people are diagnosed in the United States each year with a bone tumor. Bone tumors occur most commonly in children and adolescents and are less common in older adults. Cancer involving the bone in older adults is most commonly the result of metastatic spread from another tumor.

There are many different types of bone cancer. The most common bone tumors include osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, and chordoma.

  • Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone cancer. It most commonly affects males between 10 and 25 years old, but can less commonly affect older adults. It often occurs in the long bones of the arms and legs at areas of rapid growth around the knees and shoulders of children. This type of cancer is often very aggressive with risk of spread to the lungs. The five-year survival rate is about 65%.


  • Ewing's sarcoma is the most aggressive bone tumor and affects younger people between 4-15 years of age. It is more common in males and is very rare in people over 30 years old. It most commonly occurs in the middle of the long bones of the arms and legs. The three-year survival rate is about 65%, but this rate is much lower if there has been spread to the lungs or other tissues of the body.


  • Chondrosarcoma is the second most common bone tumor and accounts for about 25% of all malignant bone tumors. These tumors arise from the cartilage cells and can either be very aggressive or relatively slow-growing. Unlike many other bone tumors, chondrosarcoma is most common in people over 40 years old. It is slightly more common in males and can potentially spread to the lungs and lymph nodes. Chondrosracoma most commonly affects the bones of the pelvis and hips. The five-year survival for the aggressive form is about 30%, but the survival rate for slow-growing tumors is 90%.


  • Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) affects the soft tissues including muscle, ligaments, tendons, and fat. It is the most common soft-tissue malignancy in later adult life, usually occurring in people 50-60 years of age. It most commonly affects the extremities and is about twice as common in males as females. MFH also has a wide range of severity. The overall five-year survival rate is about 35%-60%.


  • Fibrosarcoma is much more rare than the other bone tumors. It is most common in people 35-55 years of age. It most commonly affects the soft tissues of the leg behind the knee. It is slightly more common in males than females.


  • Chordoma is a very rare tumor with an average survival of about six years after diagnosis. It occurs in adults over 30 years of age and is about twice as common in males as females. It most commonly affects either the lower or upper end of the spinal column.

In addition to bone cancer, there are various types of benign bone tumors. These include osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, osteochondroma, enchondroma, chondromyxoid fibroma, and giant cell tumor (which has the potential to become malignant). As with other types of benign tumors, these are not cancerous.

There are two other relatively common types of cancer than develop in the bones: lymphomamultiple myeloma. and Lymphoma, a cancer arising from the cells of the immune system, usually begins in the lymph nodes but can begin in the bone. Multiple myeloma begins in the bones, but it is not usually considered a bone tumor because it is a tumor of the bone marrow cells and not of the bone cells.
