in Singapore?
Do you have any study/report to support this AP? I have been searching everywhere for it. A friend who is a blind-stubborn supporter of the system actually admits to 1 in 4, but she too has no stats or study. It is terrifying, and so very many friends and acquaintances have come down with one form or another. My own brother had a brain tumour at 57 and after two very expensive operations, chemo and radiation, succumbed after only 9 months. The bill was astronomical.
Another Singaporean friend now resident abroad wrote to say "I am becoming more and more convinced that Sing is a breeding ground , everywhere you turn or whoever you talk to, C comes up. There is just something so sinister about it. When with sis in NZ, she is surrounded by old folk and not once did she mention that anyone she knew was struck with it, dying or died with it. I remember making this point with her and we were both looking at one another and nodding our heads that Sing is a real black spot, the hex of C lies there, so do not go back there."
And the cost ....! My sorrow with the NKF problem is also because they were planning to add, at little cost, a cancer unit to the 21 dialysis centres already in existence, and had negotiated to cut the average cost to patients by 30%, with a real possibility of reducing it to 50%. It would have meant so much to so many, specially if your 1 in 3 number is correct.
