New treatment - Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis

I was recommended to see Prof Ho Gwo Fuang in UMMC / UMSC to get into his Hyperthermia program. So I went to see him, lucky me as I managed to schedule an appointment with a few days after calling in.  

During this period, my breathing was really bad.  I can't walk fast, can't even talk properly without panting.  

So when I saw him, I had to tell him about my history, showed him all my scans.  But I did it so badly, as I panting at every word I said.  He looked at my scans and me, and told me I need to be treated for Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis, which basically means cancer has invaded all of lymphatic vessels of my lungs.  He said if I don't treat it now, in a week's time, I won't be able to function without oxygen tank.  And my days are numbered.

So yeah, bad news for me.  

Azwat said, let's take a leap of faith and go with the Prof.  So I said ok Prof, let's do it.  Let's go with your plan.  He said, ok, chemo starts tomorrow.  Tomorrow????  It's a busy period for me honestly, I was torn up.  But health comes first, so I quickly did a handover with the team for this.

The next day, I checked in the ward - had to be admitted as all chairs in daycare are taken up. 

I was given 2 types of drugs: Abraxane & Avastin.  Hopefully both will work well for me.. Praying hard.

So this was how I switched from Dr Mastura to Prof Ho.  Both are good in their own ways.
