First and formost is the PET - CT scan which I did last week. The "GOLD" standard of cancer detection in the body ( there are some exceptions tho). The scan is clear with no signs of cancer in any part of the body. Which means I have a clean bill of health. I just need to repeat this for the next 5 years and then I will be clinically declared cancer free. At the moment I am in what is called remission. The taste buds are still AWOL but I am eating well. The weight has stablilised at 168 lb or 71kg's, not too bad I think.
Today is the first day of Raya and I have been overwhelmed with SMS wishing me a great year a head. I thank every one for their kind thoughts. Most touching was from Kumar from Madras. My old school pal. We spent many periods at his Lorong Travers house in Penang.
Uploaded a raya pic for everyone. Marisha spent her Raya in South America (Peru). So I took the opportunity to Photoshop the images together and make it into a family photo.
There are many anonymous who have followed my journey and there are some who need encouragement along the way. My blog is open and my e-mail is available. Please share with me any concerns that you might have.
" The road is long, with many a winding turn
That leads us to - who knows where, who knows where,
and so .....
It's a long, long road, from which there is no return
While we're on the way to there, why not share"
