I know I had not posted for the last few days. I had wanted to post on Tuesday but some of the keys on the keyboard on my notebook were faulty and I had to get it repaired by my Corporate IT folks on Wednesday. Feeling a little off on Wednesday and decided not post anything until today.
Tomorrow is a holiday followed by the weekend and so there will be no Radiotherapy until next Monday and I would have completed the entire Radiotherapy course by end of next week.
I did not mention this but when I usually have my weekly follow-up with the Rad-Oncologist, I don’t get be seen by my primary Rad-Oncologist but by a junior Rad-Oncologist and it is only occasionally that I get to see my primary Rad-Oncologist. Furthermore, for this week, my regular Rad-Oncologist was away and thus I was seen by another Rad-Oncologist that I had not seen before. Nothing really much to report as everything is again within the “parameter” of the therapy. My primary Rad-Oncologist happened to be at the Radiotherapy Centre today and I sort of stuck my head into his room and said hello. To my surprised, he asked me into his room and gave me an examination and went through my conditions with me. He is quite pleased with my progress seeing that there were relatively few side-effects or at least had milder form of the side effects. I would say that that the most irritating side effects that I am experiencing is the uncomfortable feelings around my tummy area. It is a good thing that I have this coming long weekend to recover and I have only one more week of radiotherapy to go through.
I had gained about 0.2 to 0.3 kg of weight. Not much but I guess it is better than not gaining any or worse losing more weight. It is a little hard to “force” myself to eat as beginning from from last week, I don’t go looking for food that I normally do. Perhaps the lethargy had something to do with it as well as the oral chemotherapy drug I am taking.
Nathan is recovering from his illness but he still has runny nose and coughs a bit in the middle of the night. However, he is back in school and this means that it is a lot quieter at home and I can rest a bit more. Josie is also gradually recovering from the illness that she caught from Nathan. By God’s grace I am still alright but I pray that I am not speaking too early.
In God We Trust and in Christ alone my hope is found.
