Sorry, it had been long time…it takes me about “sepurnama” to update my blog. I am too busy with work. Actually lots of thing I want to share.
Well I just received bad news. A friend of mine is very ill at the moment. He’s a good virtual friend that I have. I still remember, I met him in the Islamic chat room and he’s the first person respond to me. I am kind of lost in the virtual room since it was my first time. Those day, he’s healthy till after sometimes, he informed me that he had been diagnosed having Cirrhosis of the liver. All the symptoms showed from time to time. He suffered from this disease and in and out from hospital. He experienced Jaundice, lost appetite, lost weight, pain etc. One time he disappeared with no news. When he online again, he told me that he was admitted. I read about cirrhosis and I’m aware of all the stages. When he told his condition from time to time, I know that he’s not doing well. His condition getting worst. But I just keep it to myself and I told him to be strong. But sometimes he told me that he wouldn’t last longer. I felt hopeless too and I just don’t know how to respond. The only think I told him, just pray to ALLAH the Almighty.
He always on off, till a few months ago, he disappeared. I am so worried and asked around but other friends also have no news about him. Till 2 days ago I got news that he had been in the hospital all this while. He had been diagnosed liver cancer. Now he’s at home, very ill. Wish I can talk to him, ask him to fight. I performed my solat hajat for him and wish he will be fined and ease from pain.
What is Liver Cancer?
There are two main kinds of liver cancer. Heptoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Heptoma is cancer of the hepatocytes. (The main functioning liver cell). Hepatoma is primary liver cancer. Hepatoma usually grows in the liver as a ball-like tumor, invading the normal tissue surrounding it. A history of infection with the hepatitis B virus puts individuals at risk of developing heptoma.
Cancer of the bile duct cells is called cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma originates in the bile ducts and is often caused by infestation with the liver fluke Clonorchis (a parasite). The cancer grows along the bile ducts in sheets or lines,and is hard to find on X-ray studies.
Most cases of liver cancer are actually cancers that started in another organ. This is called metastases. Because of its very high blood flow and many biological functions, the liver is one of the most common places for metastases to grow. Tumors that originally arise in the colon, pancreas, stomach, lung or breast can spread to the liver.
Liver cancer is much more prevalent in many of the developing countries than in the industrialized world. Its incidence is highest in subSaharan Africa, China, southern Asia, and Japan. Japan is the exception of the industrialized countries. China accounts for about 45% of the world's cases.
What Causes or Increases Risk for Liver Cancer?
Once cause of liver cancer is exposure to vinyl chloride. Other causes of liver cancer are unknown. However certain risk factors have been identified. The risk factors are: Chronic Hepatitis, Cirrhosis of the liver and liver flukes (parasites).
