Below is the concept of the program for the Cancer group of the Parish of Saint Martin de Porres, discussed and prepared by the group. This is a propose group that will try to cater to the cancer patients within the parish. The endeavor started to progress because it is also a part of the apostolate to the sick as the patron saint St. Martin de Porres have tried to address.

A friend with a tumor

The neurologist who diagnosed her said that she must be operated as soon as possible and not later on after three weeks. She was quite hysterical that she cannot accept the fact of her sickness. There are a lot of question asking why this thing happens to her. Frankly, the only thing i said to her is that, we cannot deny this fact as the specialist have already given her the diagnosis.

Everyone of us will surely come to terms with our own death. The neurologist did not really spicify what kind of cancer but a tumor has already developed in a a sized no longer be taken as an ordinary tumor. Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could gave me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten, My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! ...
