60 year old Mr Zailan Bin Buyong, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastases to the liver and peritoneum in July 2019. He had to go through a 15-hour surgery and extensive chemotherapy.
But within months, his health deteriorated with the possibility of spinal cord compression due to cancer metastasising to the spine. This has left him largely immobile and he has to be bedbound.
