Dearest Buddies,

I just got back from SJMC doing my MRI scan and also proceed with my 4th chemotherapy. I check in on 17/10 for my MRI Scan and Dr Matin Mellor was checking my neck and confirms that the lump is completely gone (thank god). I only got to know the scan result on 18/10..... GOOD NEWS is that the tumour is very much smaller than before and the report also indicates that the shrinkage could be due to radiotherapy (in this case I had not started yet). Dr Mellor said I will undergo another 3 more chemotherapy and then see what the outcome of the MRI is after this round.

Oops, I gain another 1kg now 80kg.

My next session is 7/11/06. Will update you all if got any good news or side effect (eg. bald at the moment, skin very dry, got mouth ulcer).

(This portion was added on 23rd September 2007)
As usual, went to see Abang after my immune system is back to normal. Abang told me to continue all the treatment suggested by my Doctor and also told me that I am progessing very well, everything is under control and I should be cancer free by the time I finish all my treatments. Remind me again to drink his blessing water, eat banana inner skin, and walk as much as I can and avoid crowded places at the moment.

Cheers.
Michael Gan
