I had received the medical report of my father routine check up. The clinic had refer him to the hospital citing that his total PSA for the tumour marker was high. I knew that it was high. But when I got the report. My heart sank. The reading was almost 5 time higher than the expected reading. I did not feel too good about it. I was horrified in fact to read of the consequences of the high marker. I know what I am reading. But I do not know how to put it across to them as humanity as possible. So I told them that while we are facing with a high abnormal number, we should see the doctor and seek for further test before we will have further conclusion. I told them not to worry and distracted them to other stuff. Deep down, I am really worry and I truly hope that he will be okay and the result is a false high number which can be validated.

It's hard to bring the people you love to the hospital because personel are busy with covid10 patents more. You're a good son that's for sure.

Thank you so much. I am not afraid of covid because I am a healthcare worker and I had been working with co-vid patients in the past few months.

It is difficult as the public hospital takes a long time but the private is costly.

Sometimes when reality comes,it's hard to accept and believe. We feel weak and desperate.But always remember that God is greater than any problems we are facing. In him,everything is possible. Just have faith and believe.Ask him for a miracle and he will do for you.God will make a way ,when there seems to be no way.
