U Kan Chun…Prayer for recovery

I was again shocked to read U Kan Chun who is a famous writer as well as a cartoonist of Burma was allegedly down with Liver cancer.

Liver cancer, if it is true is a quick killer. Again sometimes other liver diseases like ameoboma or other liver diseases could be misdignosed as liver cancer.

Only thing we can hope for is misdignosis. Again the doctors in Burma are pretty familiar with hepato-carcinoma as it is a quite  common Miliganant disaese in the impoverished  country.

Liver cancer is preventable. Reduce the risk of Hepatitis B and C, controlled the food that contain Aflatoxin, a deadly produt from the fungus that is commonly seen in dried chilly and nuts. Alcoholism is the another cause of liver cancer.

U Kan Chun, is one among the rare and talented artists who contributed in many ways to Burmese cartoon and literature society. He is also known for producing numerous paintings.He seems to be trying an exhibit in Mandalay, according to Irrawaddy News recently.

My prayer will be for Saya U Kan Chun’s health. I am very sure that so many people who love his cartoons and his work will be doing the same thing.

There are many cross roads that bump among each other in this world at any moment in our life time. Some for a short moment and some for longer period. The interesting thing is that some of them will be only transiently met in the one of the cross roads, but will be remembered forever.

U Kan Chun falls into the second catagory.
