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.

Day +214 : Pet

I am fine today.

My daughter, Xin Yi has been asking me to allow her having a dog as pet. I still have to avoid contact with dog or cats, to minimise infections.

I negotiate with her, having turtle as her pet, she agreed. However she know passing me is still not good enough, the ultimate decision is still with her mum. So, Xin Yi SMS me to remind me talk with mum first. Nowadays, kids is pretty smart in using gadget. At 8 years old, she know how use SMS. During my time , What I do at 8 year old ? I can't remember, but likely playing guli

许医师：想要活下来，很简单，要先改变自己的心情！相信自己，接受癌症，从心改变，改变以后走上身心灵疗疫，就能与癌共存。

懂得重新开始的人，生命就不一样。
