Two rounds of fundraising initiatives for Pitt Cheung raised a total of HK$831,000 for his specialist treatment, leaving a balance of over HK$140,000 after his passing in April.
The fundraiser said that Cheung had exhausted radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments at public hospitals, so he switched to a recommended chemotherapy drug called Nab-paclitaxel, costing HK$72,000 per month.
Cheung died peacefully in hospital on April 26. A funeral for the 44-year-old was held on May 9.

“After deduct[ing] the expenses for chemotherapy, follow-up appointments, check-ups, the chemo port surgery and hospitalisation, we are left with HK$140,620. Per Pitt’s wishes, we will donate this sum to NGO @cancer_information,” a post on Cheung’s fundraising Instagram account said on Sunday.
“This NGO provided lots of professional support and companionship to Pitt when he was fighting cancer, and we hope the funds can be used to help more people.”
The post thanked the Hong Kong United Oncology Centre, where he was cared for, as well as donors, friends and family who supported his journey.

If photographs could make a sound, the one Edith Sánchez keeps in a small plastic bag would play Luis Miguel’s version of Las Mañanitas. Dated September 16, 1994, the photo shows the Mexican singer hugging her as she looks at the camera. It is the only picture she has left beside the man who was her boss for more than 25 years.
“If no one asks me, I know what time is. When they ask me, I no longer know,” wrote the philosopher Augustine of Hippo 17 centuries ago. Something very similar happens now with aging: we all understand what it is, but when we ask ourselves why we must age and die, doubts arise. Even the world’s leading experts face the same uncertainty: at best they offer very different answers.
A potential response to cancer is written — on a microscopic level — in its very tumor cells. For decades, treatment and prognosis of the disease has been largely determined by the organ, the anatomical location in which the cancerous mass is located. But now, science has placed a spotlight on something more ambitious: learning the tumor’s signature, or rather, the molecular alterations that characterize its malignant cells. The latest meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), which took place last weekend in Chicago, has given further impetus to precision oncology and highlighted how cancer biology, those microscopic genetic characteristics that define it, are playing an increasingly important role in determining therapeutic approach, and even predicting prognosis.
