Recovery

I came from a family of cancer patients. My mother died because of leukemia (cancer of the blood), her sister also died because of colon cancer and now my father is recovering from his treatment because of lung cancer. So where does that leave me and my brother. I don't know. I just hope that later in life, we won't have cancer if we live a healthy life.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bring my (borrowed) camera with me to document my father's treatment. Now that I come to think of it, his treatment could have been my very first documentary photography project. But maybe I can start with his recovery to bring more hope to other cancer patients out there.

He's still thinner than before but he looks better compared to what he looked like while he was under treatment. He walks every morning (I think), drinks his herbal and fruit juices which he substituted to his medicines and watches a lot of movies. He hasn't been confined at the hospital for more than a month now. It's a good sign.



he insisted that his camera angle is his left side. all right, there it is.
