Let’s start with last night. I was in a little bit of pain and normally I will try to tolerate it as much as I can but I found it hard as it really disturbed my sleep. You will have to take into account that I also have pain killer patch stuck on my chest that releases a potent pain killer slowly into my body. You can read about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fentanyl. Anyway, before I slept, I took additionally some morphine syrup to suppress what it termed “breakthrough pain” and it worked and I slept reasonably well last night. The pain during the day wasn’t as bad and it seem my “pain” condition is improving but based on the last one week’s experiences, it seem the pain is nocturnal and even as I type this blog entry, the pain is coming back.
I went to NUH in the late morning to have the CT-simulation/planning done for my radiotherapy. It was not a complicated process and it was all over in about 20 minutes and I spent the rest for the afternoon with Josie as we hardly had time together anymore. If there is no complication in terms of the planning, I will have my first radiotherapy session on Thursday at 5:15pm.
I guess you can pray that there is no complication and that the radiotherapy can proceed on Thursday. Pray too that the radiotherapy is effective in killing and shrinking the tumor.
