Background Story

Well back in 2011, my cousin was diagnosed with cancer. And at the same time a scandal was breaking about patients being overradiated at the local cancer centre.

Anyways, given the options available locally, my cousin decided not to have any radiation, which has its own risks.

So instead of paying for the dynamic linear accelerator at Southern Medical, I am doing the masters in Epi instead.

Only time will determine if it was a good bet.
