MY EIGHTH CHEMO UPDATE

my eighth chemo update



Grace to everyone,

Today marked my eighth chemotherapy and the second for this year. I am so glad that I have only 4 more to go. I am looking forward to the end of March, by then I would have completed the whole course of my treatment. Please continue to pray for me and may God continue to shower blessings on me.

I experienced some side effects after the 7th treatment. I had blisters on the soles of my feet as well as my lips. I am so glad that the side effects were not too intense and I can tolerate them with God's mercies. However, I managed to gain some weight. It was only a 100g gain. Nevertheless, I am happy even though the gain was minimal.

My oncologist was happy and satisfied that my intake of 70 tablets of Xeloda did not cause any serious side effects. He reckoned that this was the correct dosage for me. I guess he will maintain this dosage.

As usual, my youngest brother gave me a lift to the hospital on his way to work.

After registration, they conducted the mandatory blood test and other routine tests. Fortunately, my blood test was good enough for me to proceed with the treatment.

Thereafter, I had a consultation with my oncologist before I checked in into my room. This time I was given a 4 bedded room, 701/1 Orchid Ward but at a different building.

This is a newer building equipped with better facilities as seen in the attached photos.

At the moment, I have temporarily stopped Baqua Qigong as the soles of my feet are swollen and it is painful for me to walk.

Please God give the strength to be able to tolerate any discomforts from my treatment. Thank Lord.

With unconditional love,

James Oh

1 PAGE REPORT OF MY CANCER JOURNEY

James Oh, Chinese, Age 56, Stomach cancer – diagnosed in with Stage 3 on 1 August 2017.

I am James Oh, happily married with 3 loving children. I work in an organisation named 'Lift you up' which aims to help people to be the master of their mind.

Since June 2017, I constantly had episodes of stomach discomforts and bloatedness. It felt like there are lots of wind in the stomach which caused me to burp. I consulted my family doctor but he assured me that it was nothing serious. He then prescribed gastric reflux medication and I took it for nearly one month. However, the symptoms worsened and I was losing my appetite and was feeling lethargic all the time. My daughter urged me to go for an endoscopy which I finally did on July 24. A week later the gastroenterologist confirmed that I have stomach cancer.

The endoscopy showed that I had a 6cm tumour located at the bottom of my stomach and covered part of the colon making it difficult for food to pass through. This explained the bloatedness that I felt for months. A CT Scan and MRI was done. It was now very urgent for me to find a surgeon to remove the tumour. I had to 'shop' for a surgeon. After consulting two surgeons, I decided to have the operation done at Gleneagles KL where the surgeon removed 60% of my stomach, part of the pancreas and 14 lymph nodes out of which 3 were cancerous.

After the surgery, I then have to 'shop" for an oncologist. After looking and asking around, I decided to have my chemotherapy done at UMSC private wing. He recommended 6 to 8 rounds of chemotherapy at 3 weeks intervals.

My first chemotherapy started on Sept 19. The drip caused numbness in my arm. I had nausea and vomiting as well as lost 3kg of weight. I felt so terrible and felt like giving up. I then seek help from Hospice. They came and gave me some steroid injections which brought immediate relief and lessen my sufferings. My next 2 treatments went smoothly. However, for my 4th treatment, my oncologist decided to increase my dosage since I was coping well. I also experienced heavy bleeding when I passed motion (black stools). This is due to a reduction in the platelet count as a result of chemotherapy. To counteract this, my surgeon put me on supplement (Fybogel).

To me, everything happened for a reason. I accepted it as God's will for me. I know that God will give me the strength and blessings to see me get through this ordeal. My faith in God has not wavered but has strengthened in this adversary. PTL

Do not fear Cancer. Overcome it with God's mercy. It also affirms that cancer cannot cripple love, cannot shatter hope, cannot corrode faith, if you decide to choose it as an inspiration as I did.

UPDATE OF MY ADDITIONAL FB ACCOUNT

Update of my Additional FB account


Hi everyone,

Awesome!!! My additional FB account has received tremendous support. It has almost hit its threshold of 5k followers.

This overwhelming support has driven me to keep on sharing my personal and professional life experiences to inspire as well as to be inspired. I hope that you will find my experiences interesting and helpful.

Life is just like a rollercoaster, full of twists and turns. Just treat them like opportunities and challenges. What is important is to grab the opportunities and turn them to our advantages. On the other hand, accept the challenges and overcome them to make our lives more interesting.

Life is short and full of uncertainties. Therefore we should try to make the best out of it. Live happily with each other and make our moments together memorable. Do not leave any grudges and learn to forgive our perpetrators. Life would be happier and the world will be a much better and happier place. Leave our mark in society.

Just a friendly reminder. I can be seen and contacted at other fan pages namely James Oh, Lift You Up, Money Tells Stories which were created some time ago. A fan page, Better Than The Best, was created after my first book especially for my fans and followers.

Drop me an email at jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk if you are interested to do so.

Cheers and look forward to hearing from you,

Unconditional love,

James Oh
