Dear Tumor,
Today is the first time you will be experiencing chemotherapy, I have no idea what you'll expect except from hearing the nasty side effects it will bring, but before going through the chemotherapy, I have to undergo the radiotherapy first, they said third time is a charm, it sure sound easier to handle it. I'm quite accustomed with it by now.
The chemotherapy wasn't as bad as I thought, no sign of giddiness or fatigue during the chemo, even when inserting into the vein is less painful than I expected. However, I sure broke the record of peeing 3 times every hour during the dripping. I swear, they can put me in the toilet when the machine can drip and I can pee at the same time.
The nurses are very professional and friendly. They explained all the side effects clearly and the medication I have to take after the chemo. First time, I felt the heat sensation on my throat, maybe because I did the chemotherapy right after the radiotherapy and because of that, no lunch break for me even though the kind nurses offer to get me lunch.
Thankfully, I brought some multi-grain biscuit with me, knowing the chemotherapy will take 4 - 5 hours. After the chemotherapy I was famished which is strange for someone to have appetite after finishing the chemo, I went to the food court to order some vegetarian food, just nice after my lunch, my good friend, Esther (a gracious and generous friend whom have been supporting my charity work thus far, has been amazing and encouraging since I diagnoses with cancer) and my Sister, Lit pick me up with her BMW from the hospital. I even went to the supermarket with my sis to pick up some groceries for the weekend. Hope you rest well on the weekends.

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