It is said that a type of cancer has spread all over in his vital organs and according to medical sources it cannot be medically cured. <img src="http://www.asiantribune.com/files/images/Anton%20Balasingham3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />According to the doctor, it seems that Anton Balasingham is now resigned to his fate.  Reports reveal that Balasingham 68 years old, married second time to Adele , an agency nurse from Australia, was suffering from diabetes, coronary conditions and has also a transplanted kidney donated by a LTTE cadre due to chronic conditions of his kidney. According to a report in one of Sri Lanka’s Tamil Language regional daily, Balsingham is suffering severely for the last 9 months as he has been afflicted with diabetes, renal insufficiency, high blood pressure, heart related conditions and as such he is not involved in serious political works. Last time he was seen in public was when he visited Geneva in February and led the LTTE delegation in two-day talks with the Government of Sri Lanka. As his health condition failed he did not participate in the last round of talks held in Geneva.   Since Heroes Day celebrations first started in 1989 Anton Balasingham was the speech writer to the reclusive LTTE leader Prbakaran. But now it is unclear whether Balasingham would be able to come up with another speech for Prabakaran to be read in the coming 27th of this month. It is generally accepted that it will be only Balasingham who is well disposition to articulate the thinking of Prabakaran. In the meantime, Asian Tribune learns that doctors, who tested Balasingham, diagnosed that the cancer has spread in his intestine, liver, lungs, and bone marrows and all over the other organs in his body. Doctors are of the view that serious spread of cancer might have started within the last one year. Due to cancer he suffers from serious body pains and he is being frequently administered with ‘morphine’ (heroin) pain relieving injections. The side effect of morphine injection would be drowsiness and incoherent speech - unable to converse properly and immobility. Morphine according to medical sources is the last medication used as pain killer to a patient for the unbearable cancer pain. Last Thursday, Balasingham was admitted to a hospital in London and he underwent few medical tests. Doctors performed a liver biopsy and the results are expected within a week. Asian Tribune learnt that there is no cure for liver cancer and the only the remotest solution for his survival is a liver transplant. Whenever he is relieved of pain he is able to speak incoherently and as he is immobile he sits and watches Tamil films in videos. As Balasingham is concerned, according to medical opinion, the affliction of cancer is due to his uncontrolled and excessive alcohol intake. According to a doctor speaking to Asian Tribune, who wishes that his name should not be disclosed, told that his cancer condition is such that he is not medically considered to have chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery. According to the doctor, it seems that he is now resigned to his fate. The doctor when revealing his medical conclusion said that his ultimate survival is not going to exceed more than a few months. It is learnt that his immune defense system got impaired due to the many medications he has taken since his kidney transplant in a hospital in Oslo. As Balasingham is under continuous intake of medication according to medical opinion, he should have refrained from excessive alcohol intake, but unfortunately Balasingham continued with his habit of consuming excessive alcohol intake which was evidence during his address in the last heroes’ day celebrations held in Alexandra Palace, London in November 2005.</blockquote>
