Deepest sympathy to the family of Mr.Smith. One can assume that the pain was to intense for the now deceased young man and knowing that they could not treat his condition well. Did they administer any form of pain medication and if he was so depressed what about anti-depression meds, “yah think” that might have helped him in any way.

According to the infection, it seems as if the man had Lymphoid/Lymphnoid Infection. Lymph glands are all over the body; neck, armpit and so on. Sometimes they swell. Purpose : trap waste fluid. Sometimes they become cancerous. Reason why I say this is because it is stated that the doctors drawing blood out from it.
It is normal for doctors to puncture these glands when they are swollen and syringe the fluid out. So sad to hear of another loss of life.

My heart goes out in sympathy to the family of Mr. Smith. I won’t be surprised if he actually tried to do his own surgery just to stop the pain. From the description given, the cancer seems to be Hodgkin’s disease in which the lymph glands become enlarged. Interestingly enough, this form of cancer is easily detected and has a very high cure rate if discovered early . . . abroad. This brings to the fore the treatment of cancer in Guyana, where just the mention of it spells a death sentence for people with any form of this illness. This need not be so if enough attention is paid to it. Cancer, though a formidable enemy, can be beaten and I think that in Guyana this should be the approach instead of simply giving up. Efforts should be made to make chemotherapy and radiation therapy more available to the Guyanese public.

My condolence to Smith family…he was so young, but I still can’t understand is where this young man get a knife from? Where was the nurses?…anyways things happen… but to the others what I can tell you is if ever this position is to reach any of you reading this is that… life is precious and God work Miraculous Miracles so never give in and take your own life no matter how you may feel. We just have to learn form Smith’s actions.

My condolences goes out to the smith family for the death of their loved one, i can understand he may have killed himself because he couldn’t take it no more and their was no chance of surviving that kind of cancer. It’s still sad, that guyana don’t have the expertise yet treat cancer patients in such state.

More sympathy to be poured out here. With the terrible stats of average treatments at the PHGC I see no progress, especially under the apple dumpling gang, in terms of having any treatment available for cancers no way in the near future.

Definately the pain was so unbearable that he decided to end his existence, probably the hospital didn’t have pain killers.
I do hope that he would rest in peace altough he took his own life.
