Book excerpt: At the age of sixteen, Yvonne Foong was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, an illness that leaves patients to live in silence, isolated from a world that so many of us take for granted. As she enters the gloomy life of hospital wards, relationships and friendships are put to test. If you ever wondered what it is like to cope with an incurable illness and to constantly receive news that crushes the human spirit, Yvonne's story is a story o resilience and hope. Her efforts saw her being crowned Most Outstanding Youth of 2005 and the winner of the Dream Malaysia Award in the same year. Emotional, stark and honest, "I'm Not Sick, Just a Bit Unwell" not only sheds light on the dreadful effects of neurofibromatosis, it also takes you on a journey to understand the struggles all challenged Malaysians face. It is an inspiration to anyone who has ever wanted to realise the power of faith and hope.
