After Chemo 4

23/10/12- When I arrived  for the blood test, SANDRA was NOT there, it was the painful blood drawer(  from 2nd cycle)! I told her I need to go toilet first and in the toilet I prayed that it will be a pleasant experience! I was rewarded for my faith and my prayers! It was the best experience, when Sandra drew blood it was a scratch on the skin, this time I could not feel anything!

24/10/12-- Supposed to see Dr Wong at 1030 am but she was so busy going in and out of ICU and so I did not get to see her till past 12 noon. Fortunately Shandy was there to make the waiting less dreary.
Dr Wong said my blood test results were PERFECT! Previously it was EXCELLENT! Maggie came with Kobie ( BLess him God , he's really a joy to have around) and porridge for me. I was getting drowsy from all the medication they were pumping into me. There were really many chemo patients as the doctor was going off for the long weekend to Jakarta and the nurses were really busy. BUT MY PERSONAL NURSE SHANDY was the best, she helped me to the toilet a few times and made sure that I am comfortable and warm even though she was having a slight cough and would really like to have a nap herself! We only left the clinic after 5 pm.

25/10/12 - Flushed Face in the afternoon-- use my Lancome Genifique mask!

26/10/12- went for walk with Phuay Hua at Botanical Garden at 6 am, lunch at Ritz Carlton with the whole family. The bone pain seems imminent and so took the medication before it gets bad.
3rd uncle visited with Radiana, Ogata, Aunty and Uncle Teo close to 5pm, went for walk with Lay Bin at Kent Ridge Park and cousin David came with fruits and left them at my doorstep! I love all the fruits he bought! Surprise visit from Jenny ( came with soursop and jackfruit) and Caroline( 2 bags of clothes for Valerie ) and of course my BFF Maggie. Water tasted like metal and bearable bone pain has started but with so many visitors today , I am encouraged!

27/10/12- Bone and joint pain persists but I still attend the Zumba class as it is better than being in the house and feeling miserable. Had lunch with Maggie, Ivy, Jane, Helen and Shirley at Lee Tong Kee Hor fun, we had a delightful afternoon at Maggie's house just chatting away and poking fun at  everything said, Somehow in the fellowship of caring friends and the hospitality of my BFF Maggie, all the discomfort of bone pain seems more bearable. Hopefuly the bone pain will go away tomorrow!
