5/15 - 6 more to go!

So, it has been sometime since I last update with you guys.

My diet was back to normal 3 days after my first chemotherapy session. My stomach can afford 3 meals per day instead of 5 meals per day, because I no longer feeling uncomfortable after eating. Besides that, I stopped the anti-vomit drug 3 days after chemo too! This is a good sign because this indicates that my body can cope with the side effect very well.

I always remind myself to eat more, eat more and more. However, it is really bad to know that my digestive system is not working very well. I eat more than I usually do, however I still lost some weight, from 67 to 64. I tried to workout too~ I will walk around the running track when it is not raining.

The remaining 11days goes on very well. My mum came to Taiwan to take care of me too! It is great to have her here because she can take care a lot of things for me, like prepare veggies, juices and soups for me. Although I can take care of it myself, but my mum insist to be here to make sure I can do some "detoxification" thing and improve my energy thing and some diet constrain by some detox-pioneer. For instance, I was initially not allowed to take egg, milk, tomato, potato, brinjal, red bean, all kinds of bread/cake, rice (white), yam, purple-sweet potato, fried/deep fried food, curry (WHAT?!), artificial food (vegetarian), all-kinds-of-sweet food and peanuts. I am not entirely agree with the food contrain, and I was a little bit frusfrated and angry with those rules.

Actually, I do agree with the detoxification theory and also the acidic-basic body condition theory, however, some restrictions are really out of their mind and I cannot tolerate with it at first. If it's not coming from my mum's request, I will never obey it, I obey it because it's an appreciation towards my mum's love and care. No tomato? what's the theory behind it? I really don't understand. Anyway, I still eat some egg, tomato, potato and white rice. Haha.

Just some grumble. Ha.

My second chemotherapy was originally scheduled on 5/5 (Wednesday). A blood test for liver function and blood cell count is usually required before chemotherapy to make sure that my body could afford the drug. It came out that my monocytes level is at the borderline, so he suggested me to do my second chemotherapy on 5/7 (Friday). According to him, this is still ok, but if in the future, this problem still occur, I will have to take a shot of GCSF (it's like a growht booster for blood cell). However, my doctor buddy told me that my pelvics, femur and other long bones will feel soreness after the shot. Gee, I better pray that I wouldn't need the shot.

Anyway, my second chemotherapy went well too. Except I feel very nervous and anxious when I first walked into the treatment ward. I don't know why, I just feel very uncomfortable on the chair. For no reason. Don't ask why. I cannot sit still, I leaned on the bed, I turned left and right, I tried to let myself sleep... Even now when I recall the memory, I feel a little bit nausea. GEE. However, once I let myself sleep, I felt much more better then. Everything goes well, I even don't feel like vomitting this time. My body responded well to the regimen.

Last but not least, my hair started falling. So I decided to shave my hair. Here you go. Haha.

Call me a monk.
