Dearest all,

I'm feeling much energetic each day and I had started to cook for myself since last Tuesday, where I had some steam broccoli, steam sweet potatoes, ABC soup and etc..

Why do I say so, because my last trip to Haadyai, I was the team leader, where I lead another six person to see Mr Su (chinese physician), one of them is having the same illness as me but his is 3rd Stage. So much coincidence is that he is a friend of mine that I know and had not met for about more than 20 years. I told him when we see Mr Su, do not mention about his situation and let Mr Su diagnose him ... so the result is .... it is unbelievable ... Mr Su is able to accurately diagnose his problem accurately. My friend also did not go for any chemotheraphy or radiotheraphy.

Because of the above which I hear and witness myself that lead me to have more faith and confidence with Mr Su medicine. Mr Su said that my condition had improved very well as compare to my last 2 visits and he says that I must have patience as my illness is a "slow recovery" process.

This trip I ask the following:-
1) Why do I have nose bleeding?
Answer - it's a good sign as it is detoxifying - which is true as it contain dark blood phlegme

2) When can my vision and the lump on my neck recover?
Answer - once my kidney is 100% ok then both will be back to normal

My next trip will be on 1st Dec 2005. This trip the medicine cost RM350 (USD 92).

Cheers.

Dearest all,

I'm back. I would like to thanks everyone for their continuos care and support. I had never felt so much love and care before in my entire life - a big thank you to everyone - may God bless everyone.

I got the reply from SOCSO already and they had rejected my claim, indicating that I'm not entitled to claim. If anyone of you is familiar with SOCSO, can you please check with them why I'm not entitled since I'm not able to work at the moment? I'm still waiting for their next letter which will indicate the reason why I'm not entitled.

As for my health condition, I feel that I'm improving slowly after taking the medicine from Haadyai because I had reaction everyday after the medicine and I had lost another 1kg. Like the old saying, no pain no gain ... right.

At the moment I'm changing my diet to less meat, more vegetable and fruits and I'm going to learn to cook myself ... maybe in future I will change my job to become a chef specializing on health foods ... ha ha.

I'm planning to go to Haadyai on 20/10/05 - to be confirmed tomorow, to check on my progress.

I had also attended my industrial court case on 10/10 and 11/10 for my retrenchment on my last employment (Cordoda) prior to SL. Well, will only know the outcome of the case in March 2006.

That's all for now.

Cheers.

My 1st Treasure Hunt experience

I had never been to any treasure hunt and this is my 1st time. On 21st April 2007, early morning around 7+am, my brother, Dennis Gan send me to the gathering venue ie. Bukit Jalil Stadium. Once I was there, I was greeted by Hospis Malaysia volunteers http://www.hospismalaysia.org/ and I had my breakfast there. The hunt kicks off at 8.30am and we reach Hotel Equatorial Melaka at around 3.30pm.


It was fun and full of excitement, team spirit, team building is a must.


I had a lot of fun, especially during the announcement of the answer and the winners.

Dearest all,

I am back to share with you all - it has not been a very good three and a half weeks for me, anyway I manage to go thru it.

On 1st September, I take a trip to Haadyai to see another chinese physician with a group of my uncle's friends. The physician name is Uncle Su (from China), he will look at my hand and touch my hand and write down the details in Chinese on his medical history book, - it took approximately 30 to 40 minutes to complete and that's when he will start explaining my situation. Uncle Su indicate that I got nose cancer and my condition is not very encouraging - this is where it really surprise me because nobody tell him what's my illnesses and he's able to say it out everything - unbelievable.
I take up the medicine which cost me 4,800 Baht (USD 126) (for approximately a month), the medicine is in pills form and it is taken after each meal (3 times a day) with honey, ginger, "gula merah" (brown sugar) and 2 pieces of banana/day.

I had lost another 3 or 4 kg on my weight as my food consumption is a bit deterioting (but I told myself that I must eat so that I got the strength to recover).

For your info, I still took the chinese medicine from Tan & Jilian (when I was in Haadyai). I was back to my house on 3rd September. This is where I need to make a decision whether to continue both medicine or drop one of them. Well, I took both for a week (from 4th till 9th September) and base on my instinct I drop Tan & Jilian medicine, and this is where my Plan B starts. Tell you all, it is not an easy task and I had emotional breakdown during this periods because I tend to get angry easily about small little thing, don't feel like chatting or listening, confining myself in the room and had sleepless nights (waking up 2 or 3 times and was looking down on my balcony - 9th floor).

Currently, I had manage to control my emotions and that's why I did not reply some of your emails earlier as my mind is blank but I'm back and I am confidence to say that I will be completely cure. I will be going to Haadyai to see Uncle Su on 29/9 - anyone wants to accompany me there?

As for my Socso claim, I went for my 2nd interview (arrange by Socso) at Selayang Hospital on 13/9, this time a Doctor attend to me and have a look on my symptoms. When Doctor ask me what medication I'm on, I told her that I'm on chinese medicine - she said that it contain steroid and why I did not go for radiotheraphy and chemotheraphy? I told her that I had make my choice, so I ask them a question, does it mean that if I don't go for radiotheraphy or chemotheraphy then I'm not eligible for the Socso claim? Answer is yes cos it is base on their guideline - how dissapointing? In that case, why should I pay Socso for??? Nobody can answer me and they say they're following the book and ask me to wait for my result before end of the month.

That's all for now.

Cheers,
Michael Gan

Dearest all,

I'm back from my Indonesia trip on 26/8. Feedback from Ibu as below:-

In the mid of recovering - need few more trips. For this treatment, I feel very tired cos the 1st day, Ibu took quite a fair bit of dark blood from my lump on my neck. 2nd and 3rd day wipe my nose and my left eye. 4th day wipe my nose and eye but not as much as earlier.

We even managed to find a cheaper hotel for next trip (ie. Hotel Batavia - cost around RM118/night inclusive breakfast and transportation to and from airport/hotel. We even managed to negotiate the number of participant to be any number (not necessary 4 persons).

Summary for the future trip :-
1) Flight ticket - KLM cost around RM400 (USD 106), Airasia around RM600 (USD 158), MAS around RM720+ (USD 190+)
2) 2 nights stay at Jakarta inclusive breakfast and transport to and from airport @ RM118/night (USD 31)
3) Eddy services of RP1.5 Million (USD 158) includes :- transportation and acomodation
4) Lunch and dinner can be estimated at around RM20/meal (USD 5.50) therefore around RM240 (USD 66) for 6 days

Therefore estimated cost per trip around RM1,800 (USD 474) (base on the lowest rate).

Well, I'm into my six month on chinese medicine and after my 3rd treatment from Ibu, I personally feel that there is some reaction to my body system such as lump appearing on my neck and head (the place where I had a fall 2 years ago), rashes where I got cuts and bruises before. I'm still strong, can eat, and get enough sleep and maintaining my weight ... thank god.

Before I end my mail, I would like to extend my greatest and deepest thanks to my company SL Information System Sdn Bhd and Mr David Soon for sponsoring my last 3 trips expenses. I will bear myself for the future trips.

Cheers.

Dearest all,

Yesterday I went to my company annual sports club bowling tournament at U-bowl 1-Utama and emerge as the team champion - I thought I will bowl very badly because I'm still seeing double and it's a great experience for me.

I know all of you are concerned because I'm back to the very beginning ie. having double vision. Don't worry; I had strong confidence that I will be completely cancer free once my double vision is clear (healing take time ... must have patience). Let me explain to you all how I went thru for the past 3 weeks:-

I consulted my Chinese physician and was told that the medicine is clearing my bone and that's why I had some swollen on my neck and on my head.

During this 3 weeks, I'm detoxifying everyday and this will take about a month or 2 month as it depend on the size of the tumor on my skull. I spit out blood phlegm almost everyday and in certain day from my nose. For your information, the past few months were to clear the outer portion and my health is improving as compare to the 1st time I consult them.

I can feel it myself as there is movement around my neck, head, eye, nose and ear.

A lot of friends ask me; why not go for chemotherapy or radiotherapy? Frankly speaking I do not have faith or confident in western medicine because I had bad experience and watched how my beloved mom went thru the chemotherapy. You all want to know how I feel on that time, I'm extremely down and whenever there's some new treatment that can heal my mom, I will take leave and fetch her to the place ... you know ... if I can turn back the time, I have very high confidence and faith that my mom will be cure by this Chinese medicine or by Ibu. I will be able to give my mom the fighting spirit that is required to overcome her fear, get her to share and let her know she’s not alone.

Oops, sorry a bit emotional.

I'm planning for my Indonesia trip on the 21/8.

So till then, I will be back to work very soon as I'm getting a bit rusty after so long.

Cheers.
Michael Gan

Dearest all,

I'm here again to share with you all on my progress.

9/7/05 - start to have double vision occasionally ... whew good thing is it's not as bad as the 1st time. Consult my Chinese physician and confirmed that this is the good symptoms as it's clearing my cancer cell.

10/7/05 till 12/7/05 - the double vision occurrred during night time and I also purging out quite a fair bit of blood phlegm from my mouth.

13/7/05 - Went to see my Chinese physician - Mr Ng and Ms Jillian. I was told that the time had come to clear the cancer cell in my bone/skull. For the past few months, the medicine had clear the cancer cell on the softer skin and there's a change on my Chinese medicine (cost for the 5th month is RM1,366 (USD 360)). One medicine call "Cuan Kang Tsui" cost me RM350 (USD 92) but this will be the one clearing the cancer cell in my bone or skull. I took one small cup at night before going to sleep.

14/7/05 - around 5 am or 6 am, I sense that my nose is not feeling at ease and guess what, I had nose bleed and I purge all the dark blood phlegm from my nose and mouth. I continue with the "Cuan Kang Tsui".

15/7/05 - woke up normal at 7.30 am and again I purge out quite a fair bit of dark and red blood phlegm from my nose and mouth. Checked with Ms Jillian and she congratulate me because it is effective and if I'm scared to see so much blood then I can stop for 1 or 2 days and then continue with it. Oh, another thing is once the double vision and the blood phlegm is completely no more ... that means that I had fully recovered. Of course, I am frightened and scared but my fighting spirit withholds me to LIVE ON.

In certain time I still got double vision, therefore I'm not driving at night for the time being.

Cheers.
Michael Gan
My comment : I believe in Chinese medicine because there is a reaction after consuming it, if there is no reaction then I will feel uncomfortable or scared.

Join my company sport club trip to Club Med (oops forgot which date it was)

Can't recall whether it is breakfast or lunch or dinner ..... sorry no supper

Thorn among the roses .....

About to depart from Club Med.

Dearest all,

I'm feeling much stronger ... bet you all eager to know why??? Reason is I was motivated by this Dr Koay (Sunway Hospital) whom indicate that Chinese medicine does not had testimonial and proof that it help to prolong and heal a cancer patients - unlike western method. I ask my Chinese physician to arrange for a few patients who will accept my interview and willing to share and let everyone know about their experience.

So far, I had done one patient - she is from Selayang Baru (name to be disclosed later when my testimonial for her is proof read by her).
Diagnose in year 2000 with celvic cancer final stage.
Undergo 25 times radiotherapy - 5 times/week continuously for 5 weeks.
After 3 to 4 months after the above treatment, she started to had back pain and neck pain. Oh my god, she was diagnosed that the cancer cell had spread to the backbone and neck. Again radiotherapy on the neck - 5 times and the backbone - 6 times but the pain did not go away and it got worsen. Dr gave her a morphine injection to withstand the pain (of course with her consent) and told her bluntly to go home and wait for her time (all this agony for 2 years and her weight was 45kg and unable to walk with support).

Well, luck is on her side and when she boarded the taxi in GH to home, she was recommended to see my current Chinese physician. I can understand that at this point she will go for anything. Year 2003, she start taking the Chinese medicine and when she relate her experience I can notice her tears from her eyes which relate the pain that she went thru. During the 1st 3 months, she experience pain and always feels like to vomit but cannot vomit out. Her detoxification was thru her passing motion. There's a point where she almost gave up but thru support and determination from family and relatives, she kept going for exactly 2 years. During these 2 years, she does a regular checkup once every 3 months and in year 2004, Dr was surprise and declares her free of cancer cell.

From here onwards her Chinese medicine portion was reduce to approximately RM200/month (only take once a week) and she performed medical checkup twice a year - weight at 52kg and is able to walk on her own without any "tongkat".

That's all for her chronicle, I would appreciate that you all can give me some idea on preparing a testimonial for this lady and of course for me as well. Is there any point that I miss out.

My objective is to share with everyone that in our life there is always a cure and this are the testimonial of real life experience.

As for Indonesia, I still intend to go and currently was looking for another 3 person to go together. Best date to go is 17/7/05.

Till then, may god bless all of you.

Cheers.
Michael Gan

Dearest all,

As you all are anxiously and looking forward to my email, I, myself is equally anxious and before hand I had prepared myself for this (all equipped to handle the result).

The result from my latest scan as compared to my previous scan is not so positive (from medical point of view) - it had grown. Dr Koay indicated that it is my choice to either go for radiotherapy & chemotherapy or stick to current practice.

Don't worry, be happy, I also went to see my Chinese physician Mr Ng & Ms Jillian - result is I'm improving and is still undergoing detoxification and they had expected such result cos their medicine is dissolving the tumor.

Guess what, another good news is that I can go back to work after I finish my 5th month medicine (ie. 20/8 is the 5th month completion; so I can start work on 22/8). I'll still need to consume the Chinese medicine (only the timing is change and I'll need to boil or prepare all my herbs during night time and keep it on thermal pot).

I'm also planning to see Ibu in July (hopefully I can get another 3 person to go along) - do let me know if you had anyone who is interested?

I will be collecting some information from Mr Ng & Ms Jillian patients and I want to prepare a testimonial for them on their patients that had survived by consuming their medicine.

I look forward to see you all soon and it will be the beginning of a new life cycle for Michael Gan.

Cheers.

Dearest all,

I'm back from Indonesia on 17/6/05 and so sorry that I didn't inform u all earlier.

Well, for this trip I went with Dorothy and 2 newcomer ie. Mr Tiger (Mr Chong) and Mrs Tigress (Mrs Chong). Tiger had nose cancer 3 years ago and had gone thru the chemo and radiotherapy.

Dorothy is completely a new person as compare to the 1st trip, she's more cheerful, energetic and well the most important of all is she's sharing her experience and she had move to positive thinking ... bravo to her.

As for my treatment:-
1st day - Ibu took a lot of dark blood from my nose. She also took blood from my stomach (3 spots) after she diagnose me. As usual the next morning I had blood on my phlegm (sorry for my wrong spelling earlier of "phlegm"). Had to wait for about 4.5 hours.

2nd day - Ibu wipe out dark blood from my nose and 2 spots on my stomach. Waited for about 1 hour and we adjourned to Hot Spring.

3rd day - Ibu took quite a lot of dark blood from my nose and 1 spot from my stomach. I told her I got backache and she put her hand on my back and I can feel the heat from her hand - I feel much better the next day.

4th day - Same as the third day. I ask Ibu, how was my condition? She told me I had improved as compare to my 1st trip. Do I need to come again? Yes, 1 month time.

20/6/05 - I went to Sunway Hospital to have my ear fixed and I also did a MRI scan. To consult Dr Koay on 30/6/05, to determine the size of the tumor. Based on my own eyes, I think it had shrunk down ... anyway my next chapter will be out next week. Dr Koay asked me what treatment I'm taking ... and I told him I'm taking Chinese medicine and the special treatment from Ibu. Guess what the Dr say; “Chinese medicine contains a lot of steroid and Ibu treatment is call “black magic””. He even claim that he can do the same by taking blood out from my nose ... well I did not "big" him lah because everyone has their own belief and I believe he has his point there.

The next thing I'm going to do is to get my Chinese physician to give me the green light to talk to all their patients and I will assist them to do some testimonial of their success stories ... what I mean is those who consume their medicine is still kicking and running. Thanks to Mr Tiger for this suggestion.

That's all at this point.

Cheers and had a pleasant day

Dearest all,

Since my last mail, I feel that I had improved tremendously on my health ... yip yip hooray. Well, I'll be leaving for my 2nd treatment at Indonesia tomorrow (12/6 - 1.35pm flight and will be back on 17/6 - 14.10pm reach KLIA).

I had also make arrangement to see Dr Koay (Sunway Medical) on 21/6 - to request for a MRI scan. I should be able to know the size of my tumor (shrunk or whichever).

Infact, I had this feeling that Ibu will tell me on the last day of my treatment that I don't have to come to see her again as I'm fully free of cancer.

For your info, I had never experience such a warm and powerful support from friends and ... sob ..sob "sorry lah cannot hold my tears" ... I consider myself very fortunate to get to know you all.

As I'm a believer of Buddha, I had changed my Chinese name to Gan Kuan Kim (of course I can't change my actual name). You all can still call me Michael Gan. Reason for me to change is because my past life is not so good and if I continue using the same Chinese name then I will had another 7 to 8 obstacle to go thru (this is my 3rd obstacle). By changing to this name, all the bad things will be flush away and I will be more prosper (he he can close more sales). It’s all up to individual own belief on their religion.

I shall let u all know what the outcome is after my scan result.

Till then ... cheers.. and I wish everyone healthy and prosper.

Dearest buddies,

Today I want to tell you all that I miss you all and I love you all ... may god bless all of you. My 2nd trip to Indonesia will be on 12/6 till 17/6. It has been a very tough period for me for the past few weeks and I am very proud to say that I had the support of friends and close one whom had been calling me and visiting me - I received at least one call everyday - a BIG THANK YOU. My loving sister Winnie Gan and family came to visit me from Johor Bahru.

I had been throwing out phlegm with blood and sneezing blood phlegm from my nose at least once a week. Well, my Chinese physician told me it's a good sign and I give all my confidence to them. To be frank, I'm actually very scared until my leg shaking, my heartbeat beating very fast and I quickly do my chanting of "Great Compassion Mantra" every morning to calm myself down.

Why I mention the above, is because I'm actually very scare that I will lose you all, each night when I go to sleep, I tell myself that I look forward to tomorrow because certain time I had this feeling that I will not wake up the next morning ... but the wonderful thing is that I had make a choice that is to be brave and to face it because I look forward to see you all again

You all might be worry and some of you might be thinking what's Michael’s trying to tell us. Don't misinterpret wrongly because I'm merely sharing with you all on how I currently feel ... whew ... I feel much stronger already.

Cheers.
Michael Gan
