Poor girl

Today, I followed my dad to go for visitation. First destination was Aunty Honey. She had a cataract surgery few days ago and we went to her house and paid her a visit. She's doing fine. We (my parents, Uncle Oh, Aunty Oh and me) later went to General Hospital to visit Uncle Yeap. He was admitted to the hospital after a heart attack.
My mum was telling me about this girl who had cancer. She was younger than me. I was told about her ever since Chinese New Year. I wanted to pay her a visit but was kinda busy. Besides that, she has a weird sleeping time. She sleeps during the day. So, it's kinda hard to meet her. So today was the chance. I was kinda excited to visit her cause I haven't visit any cancer patients before especially someone who is so young. We went to search for her room for such a long time. We went into almost every ward in the 6th floor. Gosh! She was really hard to find. Finally, after walking aimlessly, we managed to find her room. My mum and I went into her room. We didn't dare to stand in front of her as she was watching television at that time. So, mum tried to call her name. She ignore us (don't know whether she heard it or not). Then, don't know why, mum went to stand in front and she got real mad. She said,"Go away! You go away!" I was like so stunned! "Go!!!I don't want to see you! You get out of here!!!" Her voice was rather coarse and there's a big growth at her neck which was even bigger than her head! I felt sympathy towards her condition. As her emotions were not good, I immediately pulled my mum away and left. Initially, my main intention to visit her was to share with her the Good News. Seeing this condition really scare me. I guess, we really need time. According to my mum, she was diagnosed with cancer at a very young age. She had numerous operations but all was in vain. Her mum and dad were separated and she hardly sees her mum. Even if her mum is here, she communicate with her mum through someone called "pak cik". She was left all alone in the hospital all the time. The nurses said that she doesn't like talking to people. Poor little girl. I heard that she had only 6 months left (but that was like in January or February). So, I really hope that there's something that we can do. But what is it?
