Getting ready for chemo 2


Dear all
The dreaded hair fall has started for 3 days and I should be quite
bald in another 3 days.--- so I won't be making aNy public appearances
in case the paparazzi are still around!
The roots of my hair are a bit tender-- almost like pain but my sister
Lay Bin thinks it is my body's way of telling me -----the pain of
losing the hair.

Though my sister Shandy has chosen a very expensive  and gorgeous wig
for me -- there is this inertia to want to use it--- but I think the
new hair that grows ( from all the cancer survivor website) will be
baby soft and nicer than my current frizzy look! -- so perhaps it may
turn out to be a blessing after all

The last 2 days I was a bit depressed , probably because I read blogs
of cancer survivors who seem to have relapses even if they go 100%
vegetarian which I am not as I am told by all that I need some meat to
produce red blood cells. Also these survivors seem to suffer so much
side effects as they go through all the cycles of chemo.

Finally I think we should continue to pray for
-no adverse side effects
- no chemo pain, no needle rejection, no hormonal imbalance
- allay my anxiety regarding food consumption --- no processed food,
no gluten, no animal protein, no sugar, no dairy products, no eggs--
sometimes  I feel terrible if I eat a bit of meat
-strong will power to resist my craving for restricted food -- ESP
chocolate and durian?
-chemo drug will do God's work of killing any residual or new cancer cells
- chemo drug will not harm any tissue, organ Or bone in my body
-God's divine healing and mercy on me
- able to live as normal a life as possible during this challenging
period of treatment e.g to be able to go for walks and buy my own
grocery and to learn  not to be Restless!
- God to bless my 2 children and all loved ones who have come forward
to care and support me with healthy bodies so that they can continue
to do the good work!

Have a blessed week ahead
