Kanker: ons belewenis, trane en oorwinning

Posted on 4 Apr 20215 Apr 2021 by Chrizane du Plessis

Ons loop nou al vir die afgelope dekade saam met kanker in ons gesin. Ons daal soms baie laag. Ander kere rys ons baie hoog.

2021: Off to a (not so) good start: Most people I know were glad to say goodbye to 2020. Most people I know, talk a lot about the shocking start to 2021. For the people working in hospitals, care institutions and other healthcare settings, the start to this year was not the most promising ever….

I was sitting next to my dad’s hospital bed. The lights were dimmed, curtains slightly drawn. The scent of sanitiser intermingled with hospital food aromas filled the air. Such a clinical setting. Not the ideal scene for my last memories of my dad. Death knocking on the door He never wanted to spend his last…
