SINGAPORE - In 2008, when he was but an eight-month-old baby, Raphael Lee was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma in his left forearm.
He underwent treatment for this rare form of soft tissue cancer for a year and the disease went into remission.
But in 2016, when Raphael was a Primary 2 pupil, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, or bone cancer.
It started in his left arm again, and eventually spread to his right collarbone and both lungs.
On Nov 13, the 12-year-old died due to complications from surgery.
His parents, Mr William Lee, 47, and Mrs Winnie Lee, 45, collected his Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results from Alexandra Primary School on his behalf on Wednesday (Nov 25).
Raphael was their only child.
