THIRD WEEK AFTER MY SURGERY

This is the third week after my first major surgery. Thank God that my recovery pace is at a very satisfactory level. I am getting used to eating less but more frequency as a result removing 60% my stomach.

After several consultations with a few oncologists and conversations with some ex cancer patients, I am now more aware of the options available post surgery. From my discussions with my surgeon and oncologist, I am told that my survival rate would be increased from 70% to 80% or 85%. There are a few options for chemotherapy for me  such as using Xylox or Forfolk but the oncologist I consulted with recommended that I used Xylox. It will be administered both by injection and orally.

I understand that there is another alternative from an elderly cancer patient who used TS1- a Japanese drug taken orally for one year.

To be honest, I really am in a dilemma not knowing which option to go for.

Alternatively, another option is through the intervention approach which can be done through a small tube and inserted through the leg which can be done in one of the cancer hospitals in China. I am not sure if this approach can be done locally

However, if I do not opt for chemotherapy, then I am advised to follow up with my surgeon and oncologist regularly on a 3 to 6 months interval.they will perform Endoscopy, CT scan and MR from time to time. 

It is a not an easy decision for me to choose a suitable n appropriate option as well as an oncologist who I am comfortable with.

I rather pray to Mighty Living God for guidance and let his wisdom and care lead me to a wise decision.
