Thriving & Celebrating Life...

Back at home. But all I could do is lie down, sleep, eat and drink. Not much different from being in the hospital. Thankfully appetite is not too bad, although I can't eat anything too spicy yet. One glaring thing though is my mushy legs. I can't really walk fast, more like a sloth. After about a week home, I managed to go down for morning walk. I have a cool looking cane with me for support.  So that's what I do every morning for at least 30 mins. I walk around my apartment blocks. Round and round, me and my cane. Slowly like a sloth. Frustrating coz I could really feel how weak my legs are. But hopeful as always this will strengthen them. And I get to breathe the fresh morning air.  Azwat usually will walk with me and we'll chat, or argue, or he will do his song and dance haha! Good times. After about a month, I stopped using the cane woohoo! Syukur alhamdulillah.   And I never stop the morning walk.  I even manage to do 5km occasionally. Road to marathon (one day?...

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 star...
