In her posting on her blog last Friday, Dalilah aka Raden Galoh had already anticipated bad news coming after getting that call from the Onco Clinic of HKL. But the news delivered to her yesterday was still, to me at least, devastating.
It was her birthday yesterday. Knowing she'd be at the hospital, I didn't want to bother her in the morning. But at about 11.30 am, a text message came in from her...
"Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiun. The cancer spread to 4 areas, d rib, liver, left collarbone nodes, and d nodes at d right jaw."
I became speechless. Words failed me. I forgot all about wishing her happy birthday.
Dalilah dear, I know you are a very strong and courageous woman. Your inner strength is truly remarkable.
Happy belated birthday, dear. I join Elviza, Kata Tak Nak, Sinaganaga and the rest of your friends praying for you. May Allah bless you with greater faith, strength and courage to face whatever's coming your way.

Ya lah Pi.... What a sad day. But we must stay strong for her
Is she in Hosp Putrajaya? Is she ready for visitors?
Elviza,
Yep, no doubt she's strong, but she will also need the people around her to be strong as well.
Mamamia,
No, not Putrajaya. She only went to Putrajaya for the PET SCAN. She's supposed to start her chemo at HKL today but the latest SMS I got from her today says the chemo couldn't be done today b'cos they'd need to install the chemo port first as the veins have collapsed since the last time. Now waiting for op date.
Pi Bani, I believe you know SHERA? I regret to inform you Shera passed away unexpectedly yesterday, your Tuesday....drop in my blog, check out Chahya's blog address for the details. Lee.
thanks for the info. I hope U can keep us updated on her progress, I doubt she'll be blogging. Sampaikan salam saya pada Raden.
i thought of dropping over at HKL for a visit but since it was a a bit too soon, i think it wld be wise to let her get the port done and everything settled first.
Lee,
Thanks for info.
Mamamia,
As a matter fact, she just posted a new posting yesterday...
Kerp,
Yep, let things settle first lah. I pun teringin nak visit, tapi tak taulah, sebab sendiri punya schedule pun tak menentu.
oops...tarik balik what i had said. this morning received a call from a few bloggers and jumped in the first ride to HKL. met Kak D and she was in great mood, chirpy and cheerful! do cross over to Jaffpoint if you have the time, kak Pi. full report on kak D's well-being.
