> Continued my 3-weekly Herceptin treatment by infusion yesterday, I had previously understood it as a hormonal treament, but it’s actually a targeted antibody therapy aiming at HER2+ cancer cells — my cells are receptive to such treatment according to the histo report. Read more on how Herceptin works.
> Commenced on my hormonal treatment (again cos my histo report states my cancer cells are receptive to such treatment), which is a 3-monthly injection of small pallets to my tummy area The medicine in the pallets will then oozes out (in my oncologist’s own words) slowly over the 3 months period. On top of that, I’m started on oral medication as well, which I’ll be taken for at least 2 years.
> Also met my radiotherapist to start planning for radiotherapy. Did a pre-scan and had lines drawn on me so the radiation machine can align and shoot the beam accurately. The radiotherapist said when he was working in National Cancer Centre previously, the lines were tattooed on! The patients had no choice! Here they just use permanent markers. Can’t imagine having tattoos of dotted lines on the side and in between my boobs. How to wear bikinis like that? -___-
Radiotherapy starts daily from next Tuesday. Looks like I’m going to have a very tanned left boob. Will be applying lots of moisturiser so it doesn’t become wrinkled - that would be tragedy.
> Cos of the many appointments to run yesterday, I parked at Cairnhill Place carpark (supposedly the cheaper option in that area) getting in just before 9am and leaving just before 5pm. My parking fee came up to $21.50! Faint!! Anything within $20 I can handle but $21.50?! I then checked Heeren and Paragon, they would be cheaper if I choose to park for such long hours. What the fish?!
Whatever it is I’m returing to netball! Too long of inactivity and I’m having problem fitting into my pants! I hate being fat and fair.

For the whole of my life till last week, I’ve been living in this belief that my high myopia is due the fact I didn’t take good care of my eyes when little. Apparently and according to mom, I loved to read books lying down and in the dark, which is why I started wearing glasses since Primary 1.
However I discovered this to be untrue! No matter how near you sit to the TV or computer screen and read stuff in the dark, lying down or whatever, it will contribute at most 100 to 200 of myopia degrees. The rest is all genetic!
I didn’t get to know this from just anyone, an eye specialist told me so.
- I’m so going to First Thai Food at Purvis Street. Taste buds hurry up!! #

The last time I was botak was back in my infant days, mom enjoys recounting it now that the state of my hair returns to those “good old days” where she’ll observe closely everyday to see if my hair has grown. Apparently I was a baby born with very little hair — so little that mom got worried I’ll never grow hair. Quite unlike James who was born with a brush on his head.
-____-
However undesirable being botak is, there are a few good.
1/ You can shower just before bedtime and without having to wait for hair to dry, you can jump right into bed and fall asleep.
2/ You save money on shampoo. Now you know what is all-in-1 — one shower gel for head to toe.
3/ You save water. And save the earth. So call.
4/ Keeps you cool on hot days. But ofcos during cooling or extra windy days, the effect is multiplied without the protection of hair.
5/ There is no bad hair day. Duh.
6/ You save on buying hair gel and whatnots.
7/ No time needed in the morning styling your hair. You get to sleep more. Yay!
8/ No more messy dropped hair on the floor. Girls with medium to long hair know what I’m talking about.
Words of wisdom come from experiences — don’t you agree?
All no hair ofcos angry lah!

It’s my year of jubilee, James said. I needed rest and God will be providing triple of what is needed. What a way to look at ugly things happening in your life.
I’m happy to update that I’m done with my last chemotherapy session last week and is now moving on the next phase of treatment — radiotherapy. I’ll learn more about the details next Monday when I check in with my oncologist.
As of now I’m still recovering from the effects of the last session but at least I can start growing my hair =).
I’m so going for a good meal in a few weeks’ time when my taste buds and appetite return. I want tomyum soup!!
