I have begun bringing my dad-in-law to the hospital for his 20-day course of radiatherapy treatment to the tumour on his leg calf which arose out of complications from his myeloma condition. While waiting for him, I caught sight of this thank-you card, written in beautiful calligraphy style. The contents were even more beautiful:勇敢的放射性治疗师们 一盒小朱古力让您们甜心，甜心 请勿拒绝，礼物虽小，但表达了我的诚意，是对您们的热诚，爱心及专业精神的肯定及敬意。
(To) the brave radiatherapists, (here's) a small box of chocolates for you. Please do not refuse. The gift may be small but it expresses my sincerity and remarks my affirmation of and respect for your passion, compassion and professional spirit.
It's a lonely, cold road down the path to the treatment room. Non-patients cannot step beyond into the gray-blue zone which is separated by a large, heavy steel door. The patient sits on the single chair along the corridor waiting for the sign to walk into the treatment space, likely to be around the corner.
