The Day Has Come..

12 May 08
How can I forget the date.. Today is the day where I have to undergo my chemotherapy session. Oh, you have no idea how much I hate the word! Anyway, I have made up my mind. Let's get it done ASAP. InsyaAllah... everything going to be just fine, AMIN..

I went to DSH at 11.00am. After filling in some documents etc, I waited for Guarantee Letter from PM Care (Health Care provider for Toyota).
Only at 3.30pm my GL was ready. I was sent to room no 357.
So, about 4.00pm, general surgeon (Dr.Thong) came in to brief me on minor surgery to implant chemo-port in my body (below shoulder & next to chest of my right). This port needed to be inserted to ease chemotherapy procedures. Although this port is optional, when I calculate on how many times my veins at my arm to be poked, I rather have this port.

Generally I have 4 cycles to complete, 3-week period for each cycle. How long my chemotherapy? You do the math. My aim is to continue my normal life come AUGUST'08.

Each cycle, on the 1st week I have to be given 2 drugs on 1st day, 3 drugs on 2nd day, 2 drugs on 3rd day. These 3 days must be in consecutive days. Then 1 drug on 2rd & 3rd week each. All in all, 9 times of drugs for every cycle. Meaning 36 dose of drugs!!! (hopefully this not entitled me to be called drug addict). However, I believe my urine test must be positive of all kind of drugs..hehehe
