At least some sliver linings

I have some good news around. My dad has a stage 1 lung cancer. While a cancer is still a cancer but at least it is still just stage 1 and did not spread. It is much easier to contain than the other stages. I will be going for an interview next week and I do hope that they will choose me so that I can really spend more time to do what I really want to do. Okay that is not a lot but at least it it still a good start to turning things around.

Catching your dad’s cancer at Stage 1 makes a huge difference, and it’s a relief that it hasn’t spread

Yes, if someone has to have cancer you always want it caught quickly so it’s treatable. Praying for your dad and your family. Nobody goes through that alone.

That really is good news, especially catching it at stage 1—early detection makes such a huge difference. I’m glad it hasn’t spread, and I hope your dad’s treatment goes smoothly. If you're in Singapore, that's even more reassuring—health services there are known to be very efficient, with quick diagnostics and solid follow-up care. It gives you some peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. And best of luck on your interview next week! Just landing that opportunity to move toward something you truly want is already a step in the right direction. It might not feel like much now, but it’s definitely a strong start. Wishing you even more good news.
