Thank You

After my announcement last Friday, I've been receiving overwhelming response and support from friends and family. Some came to visit too. Most of them believe that I'm strong and will continue this fight. Insyaallah and thank you very much for your support as well as prayers :).

The 7 weeks treatment was tough because I needed to stay mentally strong and positive even though my body was getting weaker by the weeks. I was also anxious about the side effects and when it did appear, I had to get used to the changes and accept it. I will share the week by week experience soon.

Alhamdulillah, it feels lighter now that the treatment is over. No more anxiety and I look forward to get better even though it's still a long way to go. 2-4 weeks before I can take solids and regain my energy. Not too sure though about the burnt skin and hair regrowth. But my taste bud can take up to 6 months. In addition, I need to look out for any after effects, will find out more about this! 

My condition is pretty much the same as last week. I'm still on soft bland diet and morphine. My sinus has dried up a little so my nose is no longer blocked and I don't cough as much thus less stress on the sore throat. But my right ear is still blocked from the sinus, so people please speak up a little ye :). The burnt skin on my neck has started to peel (boo!), I guess it's inevitable. I've started taking antibiotics to prevent the sore throat from getting infected. I really hope I'll get better to enjoy Ramadhan and Aidilfitri (the food especially) :).
