Everything it's going to be alright

In Australia there is this interesting medical show called 'RPA'. Basically, the show taped a series of patients that visited the hospital, and they told their journey of seeking treatment.

Last night, I saw one which was very interesting. It is a young girl age 20 years old who is very cheerful and smile a lot even facing the devastated news. She was diagnosed with some growth on her brain, and she was required to go for an operation immediately. The tissues will then be used for further analysis to confirm what type of growth it was.

The cheerful girl without a sign of depression, smile all along, believing everything will be alright. The family was with her during the journey. The brain operation was successful, and she continued to smile. I haven't seen such a positive person in my life even facing with such a news. At the same time I felt sorry for her.

Few days later the doctor came to her with the diagnosis results. The doctor spoke calmly on her smiling face. The news was that she has some very aggressive cancer growing in her. What surprised me she wasn't moved by the news, instead she wanted to know what's next for her with a smile. Around her, I saw her mom face was so sad and her eyes welling up with tear, but the girl gave a very brave front when confronting the news.

A week later, she was told she need to go for further chemotherapy to kill off the other cancer cells. She was put under the big machine alone for 5 minutes. Prior to that, she commented that she has to cropped her hair as it will fall down. Even that she still smile and never show a single sign of sadness. I was truly impressed. Five minutes later, she came out of the machine, and this time her father was around. The moment he saw her daughter off the machine, he went over and gave her a big hug, but the whole scene change. Both crying on each other arm. I believe it's a silent sadness in the family members. The girl is trying to confront her fear through thinking positive. After all, she is only human who has fear.

It was a very insightful episode showing how the girl has to face all the obstacle placed in front of her. My only hope after watching the show is to hope she will get well soon and fully recovered.
