Tomotherapy Machine

This is the tomotheraphy machine I used in Japan to shrink my tomours before the dentritic cell injection. This a more advance machine than the normal radition machine it turns 360 degree to cover every part of the body that requires radaiton and will do less harm to the body. Somehow I felt that the side effect is much stronger, because I vommitted everything out from my stomach almost immediate after my radiation completed.
I have to go through 5 days of radiation, each day will take about 30 minutes.
The young Japaness guy on the right with coat is our English translator, Nori san he is the only one speaks English in the C4 clinic.

Blessing after Treatment

Dear All,
It's almost a month since my last post. Chinese New Year preparation has kept me busy and I was too excited to do something which I was not be able to do for almost 6 months. I spent my time preparing, upkeeping my house, baking some cookies. For the past 6 months, I spent most of my time on the nebulizer to clear my lung, oxygen machine, attending to Doctor's appointment, hospitalized, etc. I hardly had the energy or the time to do these things. I was also excited to enjoy the quietness of KL and the good flow of traffic during the holiday week because this is the 1st time I spent my Chinese New Year celebration in KL.

I feel thankful to the God who has restored my health and the angels (bro & sis in Christ, friends & relatives) who has supported me through my tough time. I trust that God is the only source of healing for my sickness because God has sustained me through the tough treatment in Japan. Eventhough God has guided me to the great Doctor and treatment procedure, without the strength and protection from God, I am not sure if it could be successful. Before I was accepted to this treatment by the Doctor I was pre-ampted to prepare for the worst.

Anyway, I feel good now, able to eat like a normal person with good appetite, digestive system is also back to normal now. The only problem now is my left leg still weak and pain is quite disturbing at time and not able to walk for far especially shopping, so I still have to stay at home most of time.

I am praying for God's mercy to strengthen my left leg so that I could start my exercise at the park soon. At the moment I can only do some stretching exercise at home. I wish to speed up the recovery process so that I could enjoy my lively life style such as, jogging at the park, playing badminton, ping pong and swimming.

God is good all the time! God is merciful, I trust that I will be able to jog very soon.

Home Sweet Home!

We arrived home at about 10pm on 31st December just in time for the count down and able catch the sight of some firewood. Our children also touched down at LCCT at 11:45pm, they were coming back from Sandakan Sabah with their grandma.

The first thing I did when I reach home was to try out my bed, it was so soft & nice. I have not been sleeping well for the entire trip(24 days) in Japan. After we have settled with the children I just went straight to sleep and I was able to sleep soundly for the first time and wake up only at 8am in the morning. For those days when I was in Japan, I will almost wake every hour and waiting for the day to come. I was aslo counting the day I could come back home.

Another wonderful news is when I left for Japan on 7th Dec I needed a wheelchair and use nebulizer a few times to clear my lung before I was ready to get on the plane, when the plane take off & landing I was so breathless that I need to use my mouth to breath out but now the great difference is when I came back from Japan I stopped using nebulizer 4 days before departure and I could walk slowly within the KLIA arrival hall without wheelchair assistance anymore.

Many of my friends, relatives, bro & sis in Christ has been praying for me to get well and get healed completely, I believe God is touched and answered our prayers. God is Good all the time!

For these 2 days, I have been enjoying my sweet bed and sleeping most of the time trying to regain my strength and energy level. I have lost quite a few kgs but I am sure I will gain it back quite soon by having good maid to cook nutritional soup and dishes for me to recuperate my health.

I sincerely would like to thank all the friends that have been supporting me for everything that I needed for the trip to Japan, especially those who has generously sponsored some fund for our trip, we feel so blessed and loved.

Thank You.
