My Blood Count Today: 30 June 09
Readings in square bracket [] are result from previous test.
Compared to the result on 9, June 2009 –
Red Blood Count (HB) = 13.6[12.5] (Normal 13-18)
Platelet = 151[126] (Normal 150-450)
White Blood Count (WBC) = 8.9[6.2] (Normal 4 - 11)
The results is pretty good, in fact it is the best I have so far. Dr Alan have started to cut down the medicine , as the GVHD is settling down, he reduce cyclyosporin from 6 tablet to 5 table per day, and prednisolone from 2 tablet to 1.5 tablet a day.
Doctor said my cancer is stage 4, it is quite hard to cure, the most critical period is the first two years where the relapse chance is high, and declare cured after 5 years. Doctor said I am lucky in the sense I have match bone marrow from my sister, and undergo the transplant on the right time. ( I am in remission after the 7th chemo and immediately I did my bone marrow transplant). I cann't complain much, at least I have gain back my life at this moment, I don't suffering pain, I feel the life quality is getting better and better. 自足长乐

Day + 227 : Two Choices
My friend PG send me a story about Two Choices :
You have two choices
Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood.
When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply:
"If I were any better, I would be twins!"
Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs,
so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant. Why？
Because Jerry was a natural motivator.If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him：
"I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood.
I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life."
"But it's not always that easy,” I protested.
"Yes it is," Jerry said
"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice.
You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people will affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
It's your choice how you live your life."
Several years later, I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business.
He left the back door of his restaurant open.
And then in the morning, he was robbed by three armed men.
While Jerry trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.
Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.…
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied.
"Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live."
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.
But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.
In their eyes, I read
‘He's a dead man’.
I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything."
'Yes,' to bullets, I replied.
Over their laughter, I told them: “I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.” "Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.
The only thing that is truly yours - that no one can control or take from you –
is your attitude,
so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.
Now you have two choices to make:
1. You can delete this message or
2. You can forward it to someone you care about.
I hope you will choose #2.
I did.

Day +219 : Follow Up
I am fine today.
My Blood Count Today: 9 June 09
Readings in square bracket [] are result from previous test.
Compared to the result on 26, May 2009 –
Red Blood Count (HB) = 12.5[11.6] (Normal 13-18)
Platelet = 126[159] (Normal 150-450)
White Blood Count (WBC) = 6.5[4.7] (Normal 4 - 11)
The blood count results are considered OK . Dr Alan Teh said the drop in platelet was due to the GHVD, which is good to prevent re-lapse of the deasese. Now, I am not too particular about the test figure, the most important is I feel better. I still have to take the Ciclosporin, the immunosuppressant that was used to treat GVHD. I have started taking this drug after bone marrow transplant about 7 months ago
I asked for advise how to reduce the dumbness of my foot. Dr Alan recommend to eat more banana and oranges to increase the potassium level.

Day +218: Balanced Diet
I am fine today.
Continue the discussion about diet for people with cancer. I experience significant weight loss during the chemo treatment. From 57kg , dropped to 42kg, about 15kg weight loss. My family imposed dietary restriction which I call extreme. I just don't have appetite for such food. Research show about 20% cancer deaths are not due to cancer itself, but rather due to weight loss. It is important that people with cancer eat well, to have energy to fight the infection.
I ask for better menu, with 5 meals a day, I have gain weight to 51kg.

During our U life in Johor, ZERO Society ( Private Club) organised a day trip to a waterfall ( I can't recall the place, but should be in Johor). This is probably the few group photos that I have. Like to share it with my U Mate. It was a 20 years story to recall....
