PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Cambodia's former King Norodom Sihanouk is fighting his third bout with cancer but is optimistic he will recover and return to his homeland from China, according to a message on his Web site.
The 86-year-old Sihanouk, in a statement dated Wednesday, said he was being treated by Chinese doctors in Beijing for lymphoma B cancer and would not return to Cambodia as planned in February.
Sihanouk, a dominant figure in Cambodian politics for six decades, abdicated in 2004, citing poor health. He was succeeded by one of his sons, Norodom Sihamoni, and has since spent much of his time in China.
In recent years, he has suffered from a number of ailments, including colon cancer, diabetes, hypertension and two strokes.
Sihanouk is also one of the world's great survivors having lived through wars, the Khmer Rouge terror and fierce political struggles beginning with his quest for independence from France in the early 1950s.
On the Web site, Sihanouk said he would return to Cambodia several months after his scheduled arrival when he was well again. He successfully battled two earlier bouts with the disease.
"In this regard, they (doctors) are optimistic," he wrote.

To The Main Actor of Khmer Killing Fields, Norodom Sihanouk,
You did commit a hatred Human crimes against Humanity against your own subjects by killing over two millions khmer citizen, and you never took your RESPONSIBILITY on your crimes.
You did not, have not and will not be remorseful at all.
You will die of your SINS no later than at your 88th or 89th year old.

We know your name is Hin Sithan, a khmer one third chinese blood, and your wife is Siam during the Siam ruled the North western part of Cambodia. Now you are living in Washington state. All the people in Washington state knew you and your family are relate to #2 Khmer Rouge. And your book was the
scapegoat to someone else. The Lady in Tacoma said you were secretly joined the khmer Rouge in 1969 while your were teacher at Battambang by the help of her family. We knew most Khmer Rouge were secretly organized by schools and teachers.

Is Hin Sithan.
Shit, how many cancerous problems does this guy have? And how come he always survives them and never die? Damn him!
Dying of cancer is very painful and it can be a very slow death as well...
