Around the same time he found out he had cancer, his daughter also nearly died after a severe drug allergy and Mr Lee was going through a divorce.
One of the co-founders of opposition Progress Singapore Party, Anthony Lee, shares his journey battling terminal cancer, a divorce, and his daughter’s severe drug allergy simultaneously.
He was conveyed to National University Hospital, but doctors couldn’t decipher the cause of the pain, so he was warded for further testing. During a follow-up checkup, his doctor said “something was not right” with his present condition of diarrhoea and weight loss. “Being a stage four , you literally have no chance of survival. Pancreatic cancer is very deadly; it’s effectively the deadliest cancer in the world,” he added.
He participated in any local clinical trial offered to him to make the most of his situation and use his condition for research purposes.“When you are six months to a year, you might not really know how to respond. Because I didn’t. I was trying to compute six months to a year.” He created a bucket list, and one of the things he planned were video logs where he left words of encouragement for his daughter in advance.
