he was found to have abdominal mass
with dullness all over the abdomen.
the probable liver span was 24cm. but the area of dullness was from the 2nd intercostal space of the right ribs up to right iliac fossa

there was reduced air entry, more prominent on the right, reduced vocal fremitus
presence of stony dullness
no added sound.

they suspected lung collapse (atelectasis).
some even suspected right pleural effusion which have pushed the liver downwards.
but investigations revealed probability of LUNG CANCER
lung cancer in a 20 year old, with no history of smoking whatsoever, sangat rare.

does not have pain, only mild pain.
was very cooperative eventhough we repeatedly disturbed him by repetitive examinations
and....
last saturday, 17th january 2010
he passed away.
complained of shortness of breath at 8pm
collapsed at 9pm.
resuscitated by 2 attempts of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation
but he never regained the consciousness
was pronounced dead
we were so shocked
he was so well. so nice.
and he's only 20.
supposed to be in his final semester in his diploma of electronic engineering
sedih.
memang semua ini kerja Allah
ajal, jodoh, maut semua di tangan Allah
tapi tetap terkejut.
mungkin Allah lebih menyayangi.
sebab itu senang sangat dia pergi, kan?
he didn't suffer from the illness that bad.
cuma sedih jugak.
sebab he was the youngest child
and he passed away alone, parents were not around mase tuh because bukan visiting hour
let's all recite al-fatihah and yassin to him
semoga arwah ditempatkan di syurga. Amin.
i have to prepare emotionally to face death more frequently, no? huhu :|
