Day 2 - Radiotherapy

Dear Tumor,

Someone put a comment in my blog saying I should name you, which I will in my heart, however, for my friends that are reading my blog, it's best I refer you as tumor for now. 

I met the oncologist this morning, a preparation for my chemotherapy tomorrow. He is very patient and friendly, always put on a smile when answering my questions. He told me he will be injecting Cisplatin into my vein, according to my mass, it will be 40mg/m2. It's a good old effective drugs which programmed cell death. There are quite a bit of side effects but none I can't deal with it, for now :) 

I then waited in between my next appointment with my dietitian and radiotherapy, did some changes to my chum, Daniela wedding invitation card, she is going to get married in Sept, hopefully I will be able to attend with good health, I remembered I sang The power of love in her engagement party and made her so happy, hopefully, I will be able to do the same if my side effect from radiotherapy is not intensive. 

My dietitian is a very bubbly girl, she is very genuine and amicable, and I swear she loves me as I keep making her laugh that she almost forgot I've cancer, what's more she keeps giving me milk samples when I can't swallow any food when the side effects of my radiotherapy kicks in. 

The radiotherapy 2nd time is better, the duration is shorter from the first, and I was more relaxed knowing what to expect, even though I don't feel any burnt on my skin but I can see the redness. The Aloe Vera gel that Sis Felicia got me does help to moisturizes and keep the skin hydrated, knowing I'm well taken care of by my precious friend. 


Till then, I hope you’ll dissolve and evolve into better cell soon.

Cheers,
Your Host
