Dearest buddies,

I'm in tip top form (meaning I'm beginning to take edible food such as noodles and porridge and I should be consuming rice sometime next week) at the moment as I didn't loss my taste (my mouth is still very dry - less saliva) and I'm maintaining my weight around 74.4kg

Today I had my doctor appointment, Dr Mellor advise me to go for PET-SCAN at Wijaya International Medical Centre (will cost me around RM7K - will be cover under my insurance) sometime around 1st week of May 07 - this will give a better picture of my situation and what will be my next treatment.

I was invited by SJMC to participate in their NPC Support Group discussion on 29/3/07 - to share my experience on how I had went thru the chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Too bad, they did not supply transport (to and fro - which will cost around RM25 (USD 6) via taxi), so I had to choose not to go.

Every week, a Hospis volunteer, Irene, will visit me to chat with me about my progress and making sure that I'm positive all the time. She even suggested that I visit their Hospis day care - to mingle with other guests and had fun there.

Time for me to take my afternoon nap, share with you all soon.

Cheers.
Michael Gan
My comment: As I am not able to eat, I make sure I drink healthily.
