😔While you were thinking if my symptoms were just gastritis or dyspepsia.. Or stomach cancer.. 🤒
Deep in my heart, I was quite ready for the bad news. 💀This is also the first time my condition didn’t improve despite seeing so many doctors; taking so many different medications.🦠
Initially I told myself it should be just indigestion because that’s how it felt like in the first place. But bcs of the constant and continuous pain🌡, it led me to lots of read up n many things started to run in my head.. 🤯
Is this a recurrence of my cancer?💔
The symptoms were all SIMILAR to my pre-cancer days! Yes, cancer symptoms can be very common and almost gone undetected. 😣
Do you know, this June I’ll be officially cancer free celebrating my GREAT 5th ANNIVERSARY?
Despite all the fear and uncertainty I had, I contacted my onco to meet him a day earlier. 🩺Yes, even though it was just one day earlier.. I just can’t wait.. I was so anxious for my onco to assess my condition n symptoms. 😤I want them to scan me and to palpate my body and to tap my abdomen to tell me what is wrong with it. 😢
The previous two doc I met in a private clinic and Klinik Kesihatan didn’t perform any thorough check. But my onco did. 💪🏼They’re like my creator, they know my history and what could potentially or possibly happen to my body. They will perform all necessary check. This time, I am lucky to have two doctors to examine me. I can’t be any more grateful for them. ☝🏻They told me it is just some bad indigestion (I forgot the actual scientific term to it but it means bad gastric/ indigestion which can last longer than usual). And they did ultrasound on me, ovary, uterus, spleen, lung etc looks beautiful. 💯 The previous cyst that was detected in November has shrink from its original size and he said usually it took 3 cycles to be completely disappear, I have 2 more period cycles to go...👏🏼
I requested for CT Scan but he told me based on their assessment, the scan is not necessary. But because I was quite worried, instead of waiting for another 3 months to come back, he had arranged for me to be back in 2 months time, that’s March 2020. 👨🏻⚕️💪🏼 I also had my blood withdrawn for my usual check on AFP & CA125, the result will be out in 2 weeks time. 😬
I did shared to him my list of meds I took which I don’t think works. He then prescribed me some Esomeprazole and said some people may not be able to receive the full effectiveness of Omeprazole, hence he gave me the slightly stronger ones and guess what, it work almost like an instant magic wand, 🧚🏻♀️my back pain disappeared. My abdomen pain (front) got better too. I managed to have a good afternoon nap.
But it hasn’t completely gone. Sometimes I’m not sure if the pain was due to my gastric or hunger? Bcs I’ve since changed to smaller portion meal with regular intake.. Now, whenever I have slight pain, I’ll reach for some bites.. sometimes the toilet to see if it’s nature’s call. Probiotic definitely help in my bowel movement. From constipation to pale stool to light brown.. I hope it’s getting normal soon!😘
Things are definitely improving.
I can laugh and joke now.
I can definitely sit here writing this long updates.
At this point of writing, I’m feeling absolutely fine. No pain. This false alarm definitely reminds me of the things I’d always wanted to do but never do, I’m going to accomplish it this 2020!
But I guess, anxiety like this is normal for cancer fighters uh. When there’s any symptoms, we always go all out to get it checked and diagnosed. Bcs early detection is better than cure.👏🏼☺️
Well, let’s cheers to a wonderful year in 2020!❤️💪🏼
With good health and happiness, waste time no more! 🥂
Last but not least, thank you all for your continuous love and support. I’m forever thankful 😘 Appreciate all the text and pm in my fb and ig. Love u guys ❤️😘💓
