more Q & A
the pix were slotted in for the colour and to break the monotomy of plain words. it's perfectly alright for you to just look at pictures and not read the write-up or vice-versa ;)
1) what's your weight now?
i think around 42++kgs. it hit lowest - slightly below 42kg in the last month of chemo and hover around 42-43kg since then. not so bad-lah. all in all less than 10 kgs....can't even beat those slimming center. (hahaha- okay, just joking).
Roman bath at Bath Abbey, England.
2) what happen to your CA125 marker?
oh, i completely forgotten about that. what happen is - it went bonker towards the last 2 months of chemo. happily zigzagging...instead of coming down after chemo, it went up after chemo and then came down and knocked up again after chemo- totally making fun of us. so, we are scratching our head now unable to conclude.
my doc said CA125 marker is the most unstable marker (can be influence by so many other factors) and from the reading, there is no specific trend...looks more like it's caused by chemo rather than cancer. so, we are just gonna leave it be for now and further kiv. re-test again after my body stabilize from chemo.
it has not come down below the acceptable level yet. last read is around 71.
yeah, i want it to come down...just for that peace of mind but no, i'm not that worried about it. If i have to worry, i'm more worried about my coming PET scan *shudder all over*.
the view looking up from Roman bath- hot air balloon and flying birdies-yea.
3) did i get back my menstruation?
Sept...Oct...Nov almost up...damn- not yet!
actually i'm still calm and patient about it. if the tension builds up and i lose my cool again, i will come in here to write another 'kick-the-cancer-ass' post - hahaha .
seriously, i'm still waiting very patiently :-) will let you know once it comes back, ok? never thought i will ever announce my period to the www - so embarrassing.

i have quite a number of you asking about my diet. sure, i will post about it next time. good to share :)
