My First post chemotherapy consultation
Greetings from PJ
4 June, 2018 dawned bright and clear. I had to go to UMSC for my first post chemotherapy review with my oncologist. It has been more than a month since my last treatment. Sad and disappointed to say that I am still experiencing numbness in both my limbs. It was so bad that on one occasion that I couldn’t brake in time and knocked my neighbour's dustbin causing a small dent in my car. It is no doubt slowly improving and I am glad that at least I am able to drive, with faith in Lord.
My appointment was in the afternoon. So I volunteered to send my daughter back to her university to attend lectures this morning. I love sending and fetching her as it gives me the opportunity to bond with her.
Since completing my treatment, my appetite has improved a lot but my weight has only registered a minor increase. As usual I had to do the routine blood test and I am very happy to share with you all that the results has improved significantly. Thank you Lord for blessing me. On the whole my oncologist was quite happy with my progress. However he advised me to reschedule my Pat scan to end of September instead of end of June. I am a bit puzzled with his decision but I will abide by his advice.
I have to inform my surgeon of the change of date for my scan. I decided to do it at SJMC as Gleneagles does not have this facilty. Moreover it is nearer to my residence, thus more convenient. He also advised me to contact him one week before the scan so that he can make the necessary arrangements. Bless him!
Actually on the 4 June my childhood buddy wanted to bring me a one day trip to Sabak Bernam to visit the fishing village and thereafter to enjoy a scrumptious meal of fresh seafood. Indeed it would be very rush and I may not make it back for my appointment. My dear friend was kind enough to suggest that we go on Wednesday instead. I am indeed very blessed to have such a dear friend who is willing to spend time and bond with me. I really appreciate it very much and also very thankful for his friendship for the past 4 decades. May our friendship and comradeship continue to shine ! Indeed I am looking forward to this trip and many more trips in the future.
With unconditional love,
James Oh

UPDATE AFTER MY CHEMOTERAHY TREATMENT
Dear everyone,
Greeting from Petaling Jaya.
As each day dawns I hope it will bring new hopes and beginnings for me. I would wake up every morning and hope that the numbness that I am experiencing in both my limbs will lessen, if not disappear altogether. Alas it only has lessen considerably but has not recovered entirely. I told myself to be patient for with time it will definitely dissipate.
This numbness has been with me for a few months and it is hampering my mobility which I find annoying. I pray to God to be merciful to me and heal me as fast as possible.
I need to get on with life and to earn a living. My two younger kids need me to sponsor their education. I am in dire need for funds as my son will be leaving for UK to complete his final year of study this coming September while my daughter will continue her medical course locally and later to complete it overseas. I have a heavy load to carry on my shoulder and I pray to God to lessen it.
Therefore, I pray to the Lord to pave the way for me and to get some training assignments that I can undertake to be financially independent and to discharge my uncompleted missions. Oh! Lord, I seek your assistance and mercies to fulfil my wish. Thank you. I can’t bear to disappoint my children and it is my hope that they can accomplish their dreams.
Once again Lord, I appeal to you to heal me completely and to shower me with your blessings and mercies to help me accomplish my desire of being financially independent. Praise the Lord.
