How you feel ?

How you feel ?
Are you okay ?
How are you. ?

This is the common question we receive from family member and friends , and it is also the same question we posted to other patient .

Some people advise not to post this kind of question , as the patient may feel offence or may not like this type of question , i.e. Knowing that I feel bad and not well , what's the point you ask me this type of question, you want me to say , Yes ! I am well ?

In my opinion, as a patient, we must learn to accept this kind of question . Me too, at times , especially when strike with serious pain or just after chemo treatment and side effect strike me badly, will feel bad when someone as me HOW ARE YOU ?

Over the years, I learn that, there is nothing wrong with those question.

What we can do is tell the true and share our feeling , or, if we feel that we do not want our condition cause others feel worry for us, we can just let them know that condition not so good, but, it is bearable we can cope and manage with it . Or , just answer , Praise the Lord ! His healing lead me to deal with my condtion and I am okay !

Instead of hiding ourself and not happy with this kind of question, why not happily accept the question and give a positive answer .

Be it healthy or sick, we are facing unpredicted issues everyday , face it, accept it , deal with it , there is always a solution and a way out .

Pray to God , ask for wisdom , healing , blessing , grace , peace and love .

God will answer our prayer and guide us.

Worry and feel offensive not the solution .

Face it and give a big smile.

Believe and have Faith , with God, everything can resolve .

God love us and we should pass the LOVE we receive from God to people who need our help .

What a wonderful world .

Cheers !

God bless .

Relax

RELAX is very important for journey with cancer .

Once doctor confirm that it's cancer, stress strike us immediate.

Most of us start thinking of family , career , finance , treatment and everything will come at once .

Stress cause us to have fear , worry , upset ...

Stress will worsen the situation we are facing, it will affect our body condition, our emotion, our fighting spirit and it affect our thinking and focus.

Evil will take the opportunity and strike our mind with negative thinking .

What we need most at this time is pray to Lord, ask for guidance, pray for PEACE, pray for relaxing our mind, pray for calm .

With Lord answering our prayer, we will feel relax , we will feel calm and follow Lord guidance and start to organize, start to focus on things we should do, and take control of our situation with wisdom from Lord.

It is simple, it is not complicated, just remember Lord is always there and he is with us. Praise the Lord .

Believe and have Faith .

Be relax and enjoy our life .

Share our experience with others .

Assist others with what we learn during the journey with cancer .

Life is GREAT , the world is beautiful , be relax , handle things once at a time, live a colourful and wonderful life .

Thank you Lord Jesus, Amen.

Good planning is important

Very often , we, cancer patient, keep telling ourself ...
I want quality life
I want to live as normal
I want to keep fit
I want to ...

But, nothing will happen, without a good planning.

We live without planning is just like we are giving up.

Brother / Sister , let's wake up and start draw up your plan and work on it.

But, please don't be too forceful and start with slow pace, one at a time .

I pray to Lord to guide us and bless us with wisdom .

Believe and have Faith . We will make it , our plan will work .

God bless .

Make plans not result

Friend from an online support forum told me ' Make plans not result '.

Think about it , she's right .

We should not give up and stop planning because of the situation we are facing , if we do so, we'll always feel upset and live with no direction in life.

Feel great with her sharing .

Go ! Go ! Go ! Go ahead with our plan . Plan for gathering , plan for vacation , plan for good dinner with family n friends , plan for anything in your mind .

I look back to last year, when decided to go ahead with family vacation to Shanghai, I just go ahead to book air ticket and hotel , then, work very hard to monitor and keep myself fit . The result is , I make it for the trip.
In end 2011 , right after chemo, I plan for family vacation to New Zealand and I am worry of my condition, so, I keep delay to book air ticket and hotel . Just everyday chk on net for what to do if my family vacation dream happen. The end result is , we go no where .

So, I should just back to drawing board and start planning ... :)

Anyway, I feel good today and settle few outstanding issues . Waking up with good feeling and wife drove me around.

Many more things pending for clearing up, i.e. Insurance claims, outstanding works by renovation contractor and so on .

Will go ahead to set a schedule and get it done according . Please wish me will get it settle by next week .

Lord , I feel so thankful today . Thanks for leading me and bless me with wisdom .

Thank You Lord Jesus , Amen.

Hi ! I am back .

Worst situation face by cancer patient is the unpredicted changes to body condition and the uncertainty of what is next ?

Agreed that we are living in a world of uncertainty , but, somehow when totally uncertain of what will happen next and unpredicted things can happen anytime, isn't it kind of scary and no fun.

When you not manage to do any planning for what to do next , who to meet next week , where to go with family for next vacation and when ?

No , no , no , you can plan it . Just that your plan can be changed any moment , because of ;
- with no indication, suddenly back pain, body ache, chest pain, stomach pain or just any kind of pain strike
on you without any warning . Be it midnight when you are sleeping , in daytime watching TV , in a dinner discussion
and ...
Isn't this terrible ? Yes , it is .
- with no indication, suddenly your body energy drain off , you feel weak, very very weak , it can happen anytime,
without warning.
Isn't this terrible ? Yes , it is .
- with no indication, you loss your appetite, or side effect of previous chemo or radiation treatment just strive
you without warning.
Isn't this terrible ? Yes, it is .

Well ! What I have mentioned, happen to me recently and it's one of the reason, I am away from blog recently.

Yes ! There is other reason why I am not updating my blog, busy with house shifting, busy with celebration of Chinese New Year .

How I get thro' it ?

Believe and have Faith .

Yes ! Situation did make me feel bad, upset, worry , fear, I am just another human.

What is important is to BELIEVE and have FAITH in GOD .

What is important is do not let the bad feeling, worry, fear, stay with you.

Pray to God . God is always there for us and he will answer our prayer and his healing and blessing
will touch upon us and we will recover from pain and so on ...

God will lead us to walk thro'.

Thanks God .

Amen.
