I have seen many people suffering from cancer but this is something which was heart touching for me. My friend's father who was a doctor himself suffered from tumor of pancreas just when my friend entered medical school. It was pretty normal until one day when his dad had sudden pain in abdominal region. Diagnosis was suggestive of tumor of pancreas. Everyone was in a state of shock and thinking what went wrong? We extended our support to our friend, and the day came during our exams, his father was no more. After 3 months of hospitalization uncle lost the battle. From that time, always when I heard of the word cancer, I remember this incident.
