Dear mom,
I am sorry for failing to send you the latest test results for my health condition. The surgeon in charge here says that it is still difficult to rule out the fact that the cancer may have spread further. The X-ray charts show that there are tiny streaks of what could be infected areas and felt that it was literally nothing to write home about. I have been through my third operation and though they keep telling me that they are hopeful, I can tell from the frequent inquiries on my condition by different doctors has them baffled by the turn of events.
From what I can tell, the somewhat simple procedures that they had explained to us before they flew me from my home country to these parts of Asia may have been unsuccessful. I have lost most of my body hair and though my bald head feels pretty much of a marvel to me, they will not let me anywhere near a mirror and have opted to keep me entertained with a television set that is next to my bed. All in all I am doing fine and hope to come home soon.
Lots of love,
Samuel.
