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.

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

DeleteStay strong TM! You are very brave. Buddha bless. May Buddha lessen your pain as much as possible.
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.
