I read with great interest your interview with Joshua Wong, the filmmaker who was diagnosed at such a young age with a rare form of cancer (“Don’t dwell on cancer – live in spite of it, says filmmaker”, October 18). It is truly amazing that Wong and his family have faced this distressing news with a positive mindset. Cancer touches everyone – the patient, their loved ones, family and friends.
