Mdm Yeo Gek Lin was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and was hospitalized in Penang General Hospital.Her cancer spread to her right leg. She finds difficulty in her movement. Doctor advised to amputate her leg. On 26th April 2007, the operation took place.
One year late, in 2008, her cancer again spread to her right arm. There is a prominent lump on her arm. It was solid hard like a golf ball.
Rev of Pure Lotus, on her frequent visit to General Hospital saw Mdm Yeo. Upon hearing the Dr. wants to amputate Mdm Yeo’s right hand again, Rev approached the Doctor in charge to discharge Mdm Yeo to Pure Lotus Hospital so that Mdm Yeo can be cared there.
Although, there is a lump on her right arm, but Mdm Yeo is very positive about her condition. She remained cheerful and likes to talk and joke with people. The minute we walked in to Pure Lotus, her grin and smile is there to welcome Mitta volunteers. She and other patients of Pure Lotus; is always happy to see us and waited for us every Tuesday.
While doing Reiki; the volunteers talked to the residents. Mitta volunteer Mrs. Neoh sings "Hock Kien" songs to cheer up the inmates. Angela as always loved by many, joined in the laughters & jokes without having to use loud speaker; Angela brightens up the place with her ever-smiling face and sharp voice.
Volunteers on duty send Loving Kindness and Reiki the residents every Tuesday morning from 10am to 12 noon. We noticed from their faces that the residents of Pure Lotus Hospice look forward to our weekly Tuesday visit. The love and compassion shown by Mitta volunteers send out a message that Mitta cares for them.
Lately, I noticed that the lump on Mdm. Yeo’s hand is much softer and has shrunk in size!!! Reconfirmed this with Mitta volunteers there, YES, they too noticed it.
Mitta volunteers, all of you have done a great job. Sadhu…to you.

While inmates at the Pure lotus Hospice look forward to our coming on Tuesdays, it is obvious that volunteers are just as happy attending to them. To see smiles and at times, the gigglish twist of their mouth tell us how happy they are: a strong bond has been formed.
Through observation, some inmates who were shy and skeptical slowly but surely accepted our presence and participated in conversations.Whatever it is, mitta volunteers'
dedication and commitment have brought happiness to many who have experienced the reiki energy.
Keep up the good work!
