SIDE EFFECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPY DEVELPOED

What I feared most has materialised. I now experiencing vomiting, throwing out most of the food I had taken, nausea as well as numbness in my hands. I know with God's grace, power and strength, He will lead me by his hand to overcome these adversities and I will emerge victorious and rid my body of the cancer cells.

What is puzzling me is that though my tumour marker is insignificant at this moment why then am I still have to undergo 8 courses of chemotherapy? Is it to prevent those cancer cells that are still in the body to grow and spread? I am very confused and I sometimes wish that the doctors will be more patient and understanding to explain their actions.

Wouldn't it be better if an alternative method such as nutrition, exercise, spiritual guidance and other less potent medicine to treat or to boost the immune system?

The side effects have worsened since yesterday and the vomiting, nausea n numbness have intensified which led me to wonder whether it is going to cause more harm in the long run.

I will continue to pray for God's guidance and wisdom for He is the creator and He knows best what is good for me.

Dear all please continue to pray for me so that I have the strength to overcome all the discomforts.

Thank you.

THE AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF MY FIRST CHEMOTHERAPHY

The morning of 19 sept dawned bright and clear but I was filled with trepidation for I was going for the first course of my chemotherapy. I quickly brushed aside my fear for I know my Lord will be beside me, giving me strength to overcome this adversity.

I checked into the UMSC hospital at the appointed time for the potent drugs to be administered intravenously.

The treatment started with a base line blood test for my kidney, liver and a tumour marker. The marker turned out to be insignificant, thank God, demonstrating that my surgeon had done a good job by removing all tumours and lymph nodes that can be seen by the naked eyes.

Since the lower bottom of my stomach was removed, now I have to be injected with Vitamin B12 and the frequency of injection every three months. Dr Ho is the only one who highlighted this point to me and I let him to do the job. If not it may cause damage to the nerves.

I hope what I learned/ picked up those key issue from my journey will be helpful for others. Sharing is caring

Since I did not make a pre-booking for a bed, I was offered a reclining chair to receive my treatment.

I am glad that everything went smoothly and steadily overcoming my initial fear. The entire process was lengthy and time-consuming and it took almost the whole day. Fortunately, I did not suffer much side effects except for some numbness.

After the Chemotheraphy, I experienced  some numbness and thus I was advised to drink hot water at all times to ease it.

Therefore I would say that overall it was an amazing experience for me. 

Please pray for me that no side effects will arise.May God's grace strengthen every muscles and good cells to battle against any remaining cancer cells in my body.

I would like to thank everyone  who has prayed  and supported me throughout my first treatment. Please  pray that God will continue to shower his blessings on me so that all the bad cells will be removed and I will be cancer free.

To date I have incurred  and settled my medical bills accrued due to my cancer amounting  to about rm 40k on a paid and claim basis. However, my insurance company, AIA has yet to reimburse me despite that it has been more than a month since i had submitted my claimed.

Hoping and praying that AIA will expedite my claim as soon as possible in line with the company's slogan of providing you with an umbrella when it rains.. Till yesterday i have submitted 4 claims, I hope and trust that they will walk their talk by showing understanding and care to their valued customers.

5. 01/10/2017, 10:17:55 AM: Kenneth Choo Mill Authors: Bro good to see u are looking at the positive side. As for the book, don't be too mindful of what people care about your book. Be focus on your message u want to convey. Remember THIS IS YOUR BOOK! You are not adopting "reporter" method. Go back to your structure like who's your target readers. You are documenting your journey so let it be. Something asking around too much will pull you out of course. 

Hope it helps. We will pray for u 😊
