news story from a city - a reflection

i am writing this news from a city with my heart more than itch. It took me a few weeks to some sort of regain my balance after i read it in a local newspapers and street news, it was not about cancer disease news - it was about a university undergrad committed suicide in a local hypermarket by using the knife in that premise to stab at himself!!!

My first question was: WHY?

My second question was: IS OUR YOUTH TODAY AS STRESSFUL AS WORKING ADULTS?

My third and many questions?????? - among them - are our parents insisting their children 'must', 'have to' become lawyers, doctors etc., and viewing these professions as the only ones which give financial security to life? - i do not know.
This is another tragic category of human life, besides natural disaster, epidemic/pandemic etc.

Comparing to this news:
CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/naegleria

This is time for reflections about the meanings of life & death besides economic & social issues.

Healing my aching heart

After nearly a week 'mind boggling' & heart aching after reading the email accounts of the 'virtual' friend, i felt may be healing my aching heart is looking for some related literature on lung cancer, including holistic medicine/CAM/integrative medicine and sent for references - hopefully could serve to help the 'virtual' friend.
i searched from 'scholarly research' databases, and found some research reports literatures both in Chinese and English. I am not sure these 'scentific' information's readability to end receiver.

Profile title

After some 'contemplation', so i decided to 'soften' my profile title to avoid conflict with possible local cultural meaning (perceptions) of illness experience. The initial heading of 'research on malaysian with cancer experience' may be perceived in opposite direction of positive lights, even though it is an information research study intended for 'advancing knowledge and research' (quoted a buddy researcher's word).
