Dr Simon Rowley is a
consultant at Starship Children's Hospital who's been given a copy of the book.
"It is a good reminder to all health professionals that when our patients
leave us, the story does not end for the parents. The detail is amazing, and
every little thought and action seems to have been recorded as it happened, and
then has been reflected upon.
"For parents undergoing similar experiences this book could be a great
comfort. For health professionals, I would see it as essential reading."
Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh offered to be my VVIP guest at my book
launch.
I am very proud of Ann.
Ann, my name is Lori and I believe I recently read your book (I am in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada) when Dr. Andrew James shared it with me. I believe he
took care of your son. Am I correct? If I am, I was blown away by your book-
beautifully written. I hope you don't mind that I have written to you. Lori

It is a
personal reflection of a way of life that has moved on and provides insight
into a family and its relationships. It is most of all a work of love and
respect for the Chan and Kong families and for Father and Mother.

Cry of Oppress women. A recommended
book for summer reading
Auckland City Libraries.
Mental Health affects many people. There are many
factors that cause people to suffer from depression.
I have written a fictitious book. While I was
researching to write a sequel for my Cry, Of Oppressed women, I was interested
in the Social welfare in uplifting of babies. I got interested in Oranga Tamariki
or the former Child Youth and family.
Thyroid cancer is very much on the rise. But while it’s
one of the fastest growing cancers — up 274 percent
since
1997 — it’s still a rare disease. According to the
American
Cancer Society, 60,220 people in the U.S. will be
diagnosed
with thyroid cancer this year, and 1,850 won’t survive.
Young women in their childbearing years are most at
risk,
though it can affect men, women and children of all
ages.
However, because thyroid cancer is rare, it’s not in
the
spotlight like other cancers. And the exposure it does
get
often overlooks some of the real issues that go along
with
this cancer.
