Finally it rain today , so GREAT !
Am I crazy ? Rain is good ? Rain is great ?
Yes ! Rain not always good . Last month , I am fed-up with rain , as I can not have my brisk walk most of the time ( except in car park ... :) ) .
But, today , when it rain after a long week of hot weather , it is GREAT !
Anything happen to us always have it good and bad . Just like rain, sometime it is for good and sometime it is for bad .
Many of us feel bad of what happen to ourself after the diagnosis of cancer and question WHY , feeling of not fair will come to our mind.
It is bad to be diagnosed and confirm it's cancer and to start treatment. Yes ! fully agreed .
But, isn't it good to know it as early as possible and have time to plan for the treatment, have time to change our life style, have time to do something to reverse our body system and .... , instead of not knowing it until the stage where nothing can be done .
Let's face it, work out treatment plan and learn how to live with the new life , as it is not the end .
God bless and pray Lord always lead and guide us to see the good side of things happen to us .
With Lord , joy is always with us .

Finally my report is ready
A long wait and finally report all ready about 5 pm.
Good news ! MRI brain scan show brain is doing fine , nothing wrong and no worry . no wonder I can still think well , Praise the Lord .
Not so good news ! CT scan show increase of the size of the largest lung mass, it is now 8.5 cm x 6 cm and some slight increase for some small one and others remain unchange.
Very clear evidence of spread to bone in some area -- Increase in the number of sclerotic bony metastases for chest CT scan and no signaficant change in CT Abdomen and pelvis scan
Some sign of it in liver, maybe hv spread to liver, but, unless biopsy, if not, can not confirm it .
I am enjoying my dinner in hospital now while writing this posting .. :)
Anyway, it is expected that it will progress, since I am not in treatment , beside of controlling my diet and so on .
But, I did have very good quality life .. :)
Doctor advise to consider for some new treatment option , no rushing , but, should think about it .
I think it is time to think about it too .
Let see what next .
Anyway, I am glad that I manage to 100% overcome the fear and worry to face scan check-up result .
Great day !
May Lord continue to bless me , heal me and strengthen me . Amen.

Today scan arrangement ...
God is great ! All goes well this morning . Manage to get in CT scan schedule by 9 am .
First time after so many CT scan that I finally vomit right after the scan because of the contrast agent injection side effect.
Anyway, maybe it is better for me, since all the orange juice with contrast agent that I drink earlier all vomited out ... :) , less toxic retain in my body , should be good for me , hahahaha.
Then, was told my MRI brain still schedule for 1 pm , but, finally nurse manage to get me reschedule for immediate MRI . Isn't it GREAT ! GREAT ! GREAT ! .. Praise the Lord .
Anyway, still can not settle the long wait for scan report , suppose to be at 1 to 1.30 pm. But, still not ready yet .
Hopefully will be ready soon.
Okay ! Learn to be patient ... :)

Wish me good luck for tomorrow scan
Hv a good X ray and blood test yesterday and therefore, decided to proceed with CT/MRI scan by tomorrow .
Feel very peaceful and not really think too much about the scan .
More worry about what time they can start the scan , so that I will not be over hungry ... :) , since have to fast for atleast 6 hours, means, I will start fasting by midnight and no breakfast for tomorrow until after the scan .
Was told tomorrow is very busy in imaging department and schedule me for around 1 pm.
So, went over the imaging department to request for early appointment and they told me they will try their best to put me in the morning , but, can not confirm anything until tomorrow morning .
Well ! I will take the chance , not to take my breakfast and pray that all goes well tomorrow morning and manage to get scan as early possible .
Time to sleep , good nite !

Best time to have CT / MRI scan for treatment follow-up
When is the best time to have CT / MRI scan for treatment followup
For me, I will not force myself to stick on the the appointment date .
Toward appointment date, if I am feeling very good , both physically and
mentally , I will procced with the scan . It can be a week or few days before the appoitment.
Meantime, if there is some body condition changes while waiting for the appointment,
be it one month or more before the appointment. I would suggest to proceed for the check-up once body system back in good condition .
Why ?
Most of the scan need to inject some contrast agent into our body , inorder to get very clear scan image . And these agent will somehow cause some side effect to patient .
Therefore, it is better to take scan when our body system in top condition.
Meantime, if we take the scan when we are in good body condition with good mood, we
can face the result of scan report better. Even if the report show some negative result , we can handle it better .
Take your time to plan for the best day for your coming scan follow-up and pray Lord will bless all of us always have a good scan result .
God bless

Be patient , healing take time .
Many of us expected to be healed or cured immediate .
I am one of it too .
But, after read and understand how's cancer happen , I accepted the word " PATIENT ".
As cancer patient , we have to be patient with the healing process from treatment .
Be it cancer or any other chronic diseases, i.e. heart disease, stroke, chronic respiratory ... . It take months and years to happen , it's not happen overnight .
Therefore, to reverse our body system and rebuild our healthy body condition, it will not happen overnight too . It take time , it can be months or years .
The chemo drug, radiotherapy, surgery and all the aggresive treatment is to help in controlling the critical condition and thereafter, we have to do our part in improving our diet , change life style in order to reverse or repairing our body system .
Let us be patient,live happy and do our part ( live a healthy lifestyle ) to receive the full healing ... be patient and have faith with God , it will happen .
God bless .

Living with lung cancer ... is life the same as before ?
For me, it is not the same and I do not think it will ever be the same anymore .
No matter how hard I try, try to live as similar as possible to life before treatment, it is just not possible .
It is a matter of fact that life after treatment is different .
Life ... living with cancer is different .
The change of diet is not an issue , as it is good for us to change our diet .
The change of lifestyle also not an issue , as it is the right thing to do . To live healthy lifestyle,sleep early , rest when tire , no smoking , no alcohol , eat healthy , regular execise , less stress and so on .
But, the body changes because of the after treatment side effect and the extreme alert to symptom,
i.e. chest pain , tired , headache, cough , bone pain , weight loss and so on , is something that make life different .
Meantime, have to be mentally strong to deal with all the " What if ... "
- What if situation getting worst .
- What if the cancer start to spread and growing in our brain , bone and other organ
- What if it the tumor cause bleeding or cause us to be breathless
- What if we have to hospitalise immediately and become immobile
There is so many "What if ... " and uncertainty . It is STRESSFUL when all the " What if ... " start come to our mind .
So , life is different , as living with cancer is actually living with anxiety , with worry ...
But, on the bright side, life after cancer treatment also bring us good .
- I am more healthy then before , except that I hv to live with cancer and to deal with all the side effect .
- I have more time with family and more time to do things that I want to do.
- I get to receive all the warm love , blessing from family , friends .
- I learn that how important is it to Love and to Forgive.
- I appreciate life more .
And the most valuable is I accepted Jesus Christ and he bless me to have peace mind , he touch and strengthen me, lead me out of darkness to light, guide me how to face the changes in life that I have to go through.
Well ! Life will be different , it will not be the same anymore and we just have to accept it and move forward .
Whenever the bad feeling trouble us, we just have to get it away fast and pray to Lord for peace mind .
I pray to Lord for his blessing to us, who is living with cancer , be blessed to live without fear & worry and guide us to find peace and joy .
Be HAPPY and live with the changes with a JOYFUL heart , never give up and we can make it .
God Bless
