I have not update this blog for more than a month! Well, I can say that I've been quite occupied;
Raya or Eidul-Fitri was great! I feel so blessed to be able to celebrate it. Alhamdulillah.
Moved back home. I had mixed emotions leaving my parents' after almost 3 months. I can never thank them and my aunty enough for taking care of me, for their love, support and doa during my most difficult times. But it was time and it's good to be home!
Resumed my stay-home-mom/housewife role but things are not like before. My energy is still not quite there and I still get fatigued (Chemo's side effect). Thus, I need to eat every 2 hours, drink 2 litres of water, get 8 hours of sleep and take a nap when my body says "you're tired baby, go lie down" hehe or in other words, it gets achy or my eyes can't stay open. But the good side of this is, the priority is ME not the dishes, laundry and etc.
It has been 2 months after my treatment completed. Besides the fatigue, my ears are affected too. The right side is somewhat blocked from the sinus' fluid/mucus thus hearing can be a little limited. I can hear but when there are too much sounds/noises, it can get a little difficult to grasp. It doesn't quite bother me anymore and I hope those talking to me too. :) Dr Azrif and Dr Kuljit said this is due to the inflammations caused by RT. It may take up to 2 years before the sinus' fluid/mucus dries up.
My nerves are sensitive too these days, especially when it's cold. On rainy days, my skin would feel somewhat sore and also numb when anything brushes against it. For instance, the clothes I'm changing into. I guess this is an after effect of Chemo but I hope it'll go away.
I've gotten used to the dry mouth and my taste bud which is not quite back yet. Now, my husband helps to taste when I'm cooking but I'm also learning the new/different tastes. I've started taking very mild spicy or chilli infused food but with a glass of cold water in hand.
All these are still new to me. At times they do get me aka get me feeling down. But I'd tell myself and pray that I'll get pass it or probably get used to it. I try not to think that I'm not quite well but will listen to my body and prioritise my well being.
I did a nose scope about a month ago and Alhamdulillah the growth is gone. My full body PET CT-Scan is in 2 weeks and hopefully it'll confirm that I'm cancer free, Insyaallah.
Meanwhile, I'll try to complete my update on the treatments. ;)
