Day 28 - 2 Intensive Weeks To Go...

Dear Tumor,

I hope you have wonderful rest during the weekend. I always like Monday, It feels like a brand new week to start after the weekend rest, and I'm ready to go for another week and it won't be far, I have completed 4 Chemotherapy and 18 Radiotherapy sessions. The next two and a half weeks will be challenging as the radiotherapy will intensify till to the accumulation of the radiation from the past few weeks. Nonetheless, I'm proud to say that I'm half way across my treatments. 2 Chemotherapy and 15 Radiotherapy sessions to go. 

Most of the side effects are kicking in. I notice my nose is bleeding, but not overflowing type, more on bits of dry blood in my nose, causing one side blockage, slightly harder to breathe. Dry mouth and lips are constant companion for now, so I have to learn to speak concisely and precisely, think mindfully before I speak, can’t talk as much as long as I want. I tend to speak excessively, by that I mean gossiping so it's good to clear the bad habit :)

Also, on Sunday, I received 2 Marathon dedications for my cancer recovery from my 2 friends, one is Marina, one of the walker, I walk with from Bangkok to Burmese Border last year to raise fund for Anti-Human trafficking. We're kind of a la la team, sing and dance along the walk. She is an energizer bunny, No one will believe she gave birth to 3 children and still have the hyper energy! Adore her! Good job for the 13.31 miles in Pattaya!

Another friend of mine is Lay Ping, whom I get to know when I was working in Coca-Cola as a graphic designer. She is such a lovely and supportive friend! She is a thinker as well, I always feel like she has this big heart that fills up with love! Thank you for the Race Against Cancer Marathon! I told her we can do it next year together! 

I’ll be brand new
brand new tomorrow
a little bit tired
but brand new


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

Cheers,
Your Host
