Chemotherapy Session IV

this is wk 6/19 of my treatment. it doesn't look that bad right? as if i'd gone thru 30% of the treatment. hahaha... not true, from june onwards i need to go radio therapy everyday. so the treatment i'd covered is not even 10%.

today is my 4th session of chemo. before i left for hospital, went to the coffee shop nearby to eat tee-kua chok (pig liver congee), good for the blood test mah...

this time round i wasn't that worry abt my blood test, cos this wk i'd been eating a lot of food to boost the blood count. the blood test result wasn't fantastic, but good enough for me to continue my treatment. yeah! in fact my blood count was even lower than last wk. so i think i really need to buck up by eating more tee-kua, beef and spinach. hehehe...


after registered myself for the chemo, i had abt 2 hrs free time. i walked to chinatown, popped into a kfc, ordered a 3 pcs original chicken meal, a meshed potato, a cheesy fries, and a cup of pepsi. shiok man... 吃饱了好上路. hahaha... something worth mentioning. the building where the kfc is caught fire after i left, all the pple were evacuted. so i very heng. hahaha...

this time round i was being assigned to a bed in morning glory suite. previous when i was in jasmine suite, i saw some of the compartments hv bed instead of couch. i used to think that bed would be more comfortable since the patient can lie down completely. not true. i feel that bed is too restrictive to my motion. i not so weak to the extent that i need a bed. i prefer a couch.

everything finished at 7pm, i was the last patient to leave ATU. the anti nausea jab didn't work well on me this time. unlike the previous treatment, i feel like vomitting even during the treatment.

fortunately i ate a heavy kfc meal in afternoon, 什么仇都报了, even if i throw out the dinner oso starve with no regret. hahaha...

other than the nausea feeling, things turned out to be better than last wk. i only sneezed a few times, little bit runny nose only, no diarrhea. i hope i can jog on friday, i shall try a slightly longer distance.

coming week would be my break week. life is wonderful, at least temporarily wonderful. =)
