Such is lfe

today was just one of those days where, when things went right they went perfectly right, and when things turned nasty, they hit rock bottom. good news 1st. i bought tickets for the pro 20 series cricket which was to be played on friday last week. as nature had it her way(females!!) the match was cancelled due to rain. today i took a long shot and asked if they were refunding the tickets. and whatya know..got my money back.somehow receiving money that you were never expecting no matter how small the amount gives you an elated feeling.

but that was short lived. a middle age man came by the office today complaining of some pain.(we see lots of this sort of thing and we assume its the normal causes).the poor man opened his mouth and i knew this was going to be a difficult day. i had to break the news to this poor chap(who assumed he just had toothache) that he had cancer. and that it had spread fairly extensively.(in my opinion he has max 2yrs to live).

i guess the best we can do in these situations is make dua to allah to alliviate the suffering of the ill and grant them shifa..ameen

omg....if you dont mind me asking how do you diagnose cancer from the mouth?

oral squamous cell carcinoma presents very typically. mouth looks like its been mangled, severe pain, some areas are eaten away. in this case guy had a hole in palate conecting it to nose.. and a history of alcohol and smoking, lets u be almost 100% sure of ur diagnosis.

also very few, if any other oral diseases present in the same way.
