Today is the first day of Hari Raya and I have been admitted to hospital since Monday. It was just my usual next appointment for the new irinotecan chemo treatment on Monday when my oncologist felt that I have lost too much weight and was too frail for the next injection. This stronger irinotecan chemo seems to have worked well and brought my tumour markers down by hundreds. I have finally lost almost all the hair on my head too. So I just checked into the ward fully unexpected and have been given liquid food IV 24/7 as my weight has dropped to a dangerous 58kgs! So far I have been attended to by the oncologist, gastroenterologist and a dietician.
I hope to be discharged by tomorrow or latest Friday.
Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir Batin.

DeleteSorry to hear about your latest setback (my prayers go out to you). Life has thrown you many curveballs (which a kind-hearted soul like you don't deserve) but you're one of the strongest persons I know...and will get through this setback just like you have gotten through all the rest. P/S: I'm trying to visualise how you'd look as a bald-headed person? Lol! Macho macam Jason Statham? Wakakakaka.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for being around always to cheer me up. You could see how very tired I am and still struggling. My head is not yet completely bald yet but many bald patches here & there. Looks damn messy like gotten into a street dogs & cats fight. ๐๐๐

ReplyDelete❤️❤️❤️ Thank you very much for your kind wishes. Buddhas know that I have to suffer through this journey alone. It is a tough battle for me.
DeleteI felt shocked when I saw you lost so much weight in your Insta posts. Stay strong TM, hope you can go thru a smooth chemo treatment and speedy recovery.
ReplyDelete๐๐ I looked into the mirror without shirt and looked like a scare crow!! The oncologist had never seen a patient so thin and frail like me. I surrender to fate.
