Modern medicine?

Four more days, and it would be five months since the day.

The frequency of her taking the ultimate painkiller increased. I obediently and reluctantly at the same time administer the required dosage for her; knowing full well that it is a way of 'shutting down' the 'pain nerves.' Just so that pain signal is not transmitted to and translated by the brain. Just so that one can rest while cells deteriorating inside the body. It is like taking sleeping tablets so that we can sleep well to ignore thieves in the house.

The surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, chemotherapy, and more surgery all combined couldn't change anything. It has been destined to be so. I couldn't but only resigned to what was fated.

So said Nakamora.
