The Second Opinion

I had a very pleasant experience at Gleneagles and Dr Karmen Wong told me that by and large most doctors are pessimistic and by and large the Dr Soh I am seeing next Thurs is a good doctor ( her room mate in medical school) albeit not very chatty --- Brenda;s brother who is an oncologist says she is very good but dont have fantastic bedside manners???

Dr Karmen Wong spent 15 mins reading the case sheets then called me in. She asked me to share with her how I felt about my affliction and if I was angry with God for taking away Lim Gee and what sins do you think I have??

I poured out everything - my sins--- too busy for QT and sometime forget to say grace?? She jokingly said: Is that all???I asked her if the occasional sarcastic comments I made to students or some wicked thoughts about people who are not so nice is inclusive???

Anyway She is a very perceptive doctor  --- she prayed and anointed me with oil for 10 -15 minutes and she was able to pray with such insight-- she prayed that Sister Lay Kuan has been a very busy person and so the next 6 months to rest in the Lord will be challenging. She mentioned that I am a positive and mentally strong person, and in my  own words, I will just "grit my teeh and moved on" She said as my family has no history of cancer and she thinkd my body is not as strong as my mind and I have undergone a very stressful time--- perhaps the last 4 years-- I find the last 2 years without LG the most stressful!

She also added that the ovary is stage 1, uterus -- 7mm out of 22 mm of invasion about 32% is also stage 1 but becos 2 out of 25 lymph nodes tested positive for cancer --it is stage 3 c and she wanted to introduce me to another patient called Nicole , with same case history but worst staging and whenever doctors meet her will ask her if she is still around.. Patient is well and has a whole head of black hair!

She walked me through the 6 cycles followed by 5 weeks of radiotherapy and really made me feel so blessed and she asked me to pray for specifics like tell God that I want to see my children get married and enjoy grand children.

Lay Suan and Lay Bin want to check with David my cousin on my medical insurance with Prudential and Lay Bin suggested using my father's money to go private

I told them Dr Karmen Wong herself felt that if I am covered by Ministry, I should continue to do my treatment at KK......

I WANT to commit everything onto HIM--- be it doctor, or drug used, timing and schedule OR even the food I am supposed to eat or abstain ----as I think I should not try to be the driver anymore and then fret when things do not go the way we think should....

Thank you very much to all who have shown their love for me!!
