| 6th Chemotheraphy Session @ SJDEFI Hospital |
I finished my 6th chemo last April 24 and went to the hospital last May 15 for follow check up. I underwent 3 CBC (Complete Blood Count) exam after my chemo because my hemoglobin and wcb results were too low and I was not allowed to go to public places because my health might be compromised. It was only on the 3rd CBC exam that it went back to the normal range and finally last May 15 the doctor gave me a go signal that I can go to the mall and meet my friends. And the good news was I will only be monitoring my CA 125 result & follow up check up every three months. Though the oncologist told me she cannot assure the cancer will not recur I'm am still thankful that I was given a chance to live my life again. And even if I'm bald and have one to three strands of hair on my eyebrows and eyelashes, I am excited and I'm looking forward to have my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes back, "Hayy, namiss ko talagang mag-shampoo, magsuklay at mag-ayos ng kilay."

THANKFUL HEART
I've already sent some thank you messages to all the people who gave financial support for my medical expenses thru email but I still want to thank you guys here as I know that some of you are following my journey here in my site.
To Joan, April, Edel, Chi, Ardy and to all who gave financial support and prayers for recovery I want to thank you guys with all my heart. You were all a big part of my journey as I face this battle and I know that you were all God's instrument in showing His love and care to me. I may not be able to pay you back financially but I pray that GOD will bless you all abundantly. I will also try to help others the best way I possibly can and through this blog I hope I can inspire others to appreciate and be thankful to God for the life that we have now.
REALIZATION IN LIFE
Before I undergo my 4th chemo session, I encountered some health problem. My blood pressure shoots up to 170/120. From 130/100, 140/100, 150/120 to 170/120 - I didn't notice any signs of my bp going up just some headache and neck pain. I hated myself that I cannot control my blood pressure and cannot accept it that day. I felt something ticking in my head and got scared about it. As I told myself, "Di yata ako mamamatay sa cancer e, baka sa stroke ako ma-one time big time dahil sa lakas ng pitik sa ulo ko & I prayed - Lord wag muna ngayon." But thank God, through some medication administered through IV it went down to 140/90 and now my blood pressure went back to 100/70.
My realization now is that no matter how we plan our lives and our future still our lives is in God's hand. If it is God's will to get back the life that He gave to us then it will happen. As what my "lodi" Steve Jobs said - "Death is the inevitable, a life's change agent and a destiny we all share. So whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down."
So while we live in this world we should honor thy God, treasure and love our family & friends and appreciate the life that we have now for we only have one journey, one opportunity and one chance to live and enjoy our life.
Have a great day!!!
