Have been updating on facebook ever since coz' it's more convenient. Nonetheless, I should announce about my book here, in case you missed my cancer journey, you can always recap thru my book. Unfortunately, it's written in malay. Translating it to English is in my 'to do' list. Don't know when it is going to materialize, in the meantime, enjoy my malay book yea.<br />

I'm also testing the power of online marketing, you can only get it from me by WA me at this link <a href="http://cancerbook.wasap.my/">http://cancerbook.wasap.my/</a>.<br />

I did not get to watch the slot, too late for it coz' it was shown the night before.<br />
<br />
I belong to lots of WA group including cancer group of which some are extreme and some are moderate about managing cancer. Most of the time, I just read the messages for info and seldom participate in the discussion. I believe there is an ulterior motive in creating such group. Be it, I just follow my instinct and body response on what I should take, where I should go for treatment, what sort of treatment and so forth. About the treatment that I got from Fuda, regardless of what people say, I should say I feel good about it. The treatment is less invasive and offer fast recovery; for example the cryo, three days after the treatment, I can go shopping already compared to the recent treatment that I had here (MWA) which left me half dead :-( and suffered for many months. But then again, whatever we do, there must be 'istiqomah'/continuous??? and to be istiqomah in getting treatment in Fuda, I need to think about the most important factors - the $$$ and time. Looking into my situation now, I surely cannot afford to go to Fuda again for treatment as I'm back at work.<br />
<br />
So how can I be istiqomah in treating my cancer? At the moment, I'm istiqomahly taking jus infiniti, drinking kangen water and taking some other supplements. So far so good, I feel very comfortable, I can drive to work, I can do whatever I want including shopping :-), I can be the supir when my husband cannot drive on the highway while 'balik kampung', I can sleep well, I can eat well, I can have a great time with my friends and what more can I ask for. Basically I'm leading a quality life, who cares whether the cancer is still there.<br />
<br />
I believe cancer can be controlled if we follow this DAON - D for Detox, A for alkalize, O for oxygenated, and N for Nutrition. There are many ways to do this and you can suit to taste according to your budget and means. As for me, this can simply be done if I move back to kampung where there are ample oxygen, where I can rear my own chicken and plant my own vegetables. Unfortunately, I cannot afford it at the moment as I still need to serve my contract and I need the money to take care of these cheeky kids :-)<br />

Long time no see, some may think that I'm gone already :-) Well, here I am, after few months of ordeal, I'm back!<br />
<br />
Almost a year after I get back to work, in coping with stressful life, the lump grew bigger again. The last cryoablation and immunotherapy done in China in December 2014, must have not killed all the cancer cells. By end of 2015, I experienced series of bleeding again. Feeling trauma that it might bleed anytime, anywhere, I then decided to go for Microwave Ablation (MWA). With cryoablation, the tumor is frozen, on the contrary, with MWA, the tumor is heated.<br />
<br />
The MWA was performed on January 11, 2016 at a private hospital here in KL. Prior to that the radiologist said that it would not affect my lung coz' there was quite a good buffer there. But mishap sometimes happened and the procedure has affected my lung. A week after the MWA, I felt shortness of breath and true enough, there was water in my right lung which had to be drained out. I was admitted for two weeks at the hospital. In the meantime, the tumor that has been ablated is left with dead cells which need dressing. When the dead cells have been cleared, my breast became like a volcano crater, with a big hole which I don't dare to look at. According to my husband, he could see the inside of me ~ my lung, my liver, my rib, one of which was broken during the procedure. Duhhhh it was really scary. Had I known that this is going to happen, I surely would not opt for it. And of course, I would not recommend it to other patients. Well actually here in Malaysia, they are not ready for the procedure yet; there is no cooperation between the radiologist, the surgical and the onco team. Anyhow, the damage has been done and I had to live with it.<br />
<br />
During two weeks at the hospital, I had no appetite to eat and I also experienced diarrhea from the effect of pain killer. The loss of appetite and the diarrhea continued when I got home. It was not until end of March that I can eat little by little. My system has got lots of wind that when I tried to eat, I can easily feel like vomiting. My body was so restless due to lack of energy from the effect of loss of appetite. Luckily I can still drink water, take vitamins and ate fruits. I lost 14kg from the ordeal which makes me so skinny as if I was in my teens.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, up until now, I still go for daily dressing at a clinic nearby. With the application of dermacyn, aquacel and solcoseryl gel at the wound, slowly the hole became smaller and smaller, new skin began to develop. My breathing improved day by day, and during the last check up by the Hospice nurse, my lung appeared normal, the traces of water in my lung had gone and my oxygen level has gone back to normal range. Alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
I'm now back at work, feeling energetic, able to fast during this Ramadan, and perform tarawih prayer at the masjid as usual. Starting May, I've been drinking kangen water to alkalize my body. On top of it, I also take jus infiniti, combination of herbs to combat the big 'C'. The person who formulated it, is confident that I can completely heal in eight months :-) I hope it's true and In shaa Allah with Allah's willing. During this Ramadan, I pray that I'd be completely cured. Aamiin.<br />

Alhamdulillah for another birthday :-) It was celebrated a little bit early over the weekend when everyone in the family was around. A nasi arab treat at Saba' Restaurant, and a surprised birthday cake at night. The kids planned the surprise all the way. All this while, whoever's birthday, I would be the mastermind ~ looking for cake and set up the event. But now, when the kids are grown up, they have the pleasure of arranging one. Frankly speaking I did not know when they had meetings to plan for it. All that I know, when I came downstairs to watch TV, they suddenly sang the birthday songs and we then enjoyed the cake. It was a banana cake with real banana in it. It's really 'yummeh' and it does not last long in the fridge. The kids are requesting another one :-) when everyone is around, we will get a bigger one next time.<br />

And what's the present from Yati to Yati this time? It's certainly the B17 that I have reordered recently. While enjoying this year's birthday treat, I'm determined to get better and stay healthy all the way so that I can be of service to my family. Mission to treat my morquio kids are not done yet and I sincerely hope they will grow bigger and be independent as the rest of their siblings. <br />
<br />
Actually when birthday comes, the one that I really want to see is my mum. Can't wait to see her this weekend to thank her for bringing me into the world, guide me all the way, and constantly pray for my health and success.<br />
<br />
As for my current health, on top of the B17, recently I have started to take the asparagus like I did way back in 2009. It is more convenient for me as I can get the supply from Jaya Grocers nearby; steam them for a while & blend them to turn into a puree. Every morning and night, just take two tablespoons, mix with plain water and drink. It has shown a positive effect, but have to bear with the healing crisis during the first few days of consuming it. My BP has also turn to normal now. Alhamdulillah...<br />

It has been a mourning month with the demise of two of my 'Fuda treatment' friends, one during end of August and the other, a week after. Al-fatihah to them ~ Moga roh mereka di cucuri rahmat.<br />
<br />
Gone two, many more has contacted me for advise. Wahhh, I suddenly become a consultant eh! I'm just sharing my experience and enlighten them when needed. Having been in the same boat, I know how they feel and some words of comfort will certainly cheer them up. Some say that I'm an inspiration and hopefully it will motivate them to get better. Sometimes, I was out of words too to console, especially when informed that the whole lung has been filled with tumors, the condition is very weak, and no appetite to eat...duhhhhh...If the person has strong will power to live, in shaa Allah he or she will survive. But then, if it is time already, the sickness will just be the cause...<br />
<br />
As for me, I feel very good, enjoying every minute of my life, with no pain to grumble with. But yesterday I felt pain on my chest ~ due to haze and maybe overload of meat during the Eid Adha which cause inflammation. I had some turmeric capsules yesterday to counter it and Alhamdulillah it works. Today the pain is gone :-) Well actually, once we have the big 'C', it will forever be with us till we die. It is the matter of managing it so that we can live our lives at ease and certainly with NO PAIN!<br />
<br />
It is wise to divert the attention to other things rather than concentrating solely on the big 'C'. I'm now on a mission to treat my Morquio kids. Recently my friend introduced me to a chiropractor nearby, and we have made a few trips there. The kids showed good progress and they are now taller by two cm! Good enough eh. The Sifu said, looking at the spine, the kids can grow taller, and I pray that it will come true. Surgeries won't do them any good ~ proven with the big sister who is now on wheelchair, and I'm not going to let the same thing happen to the little sister. The only matter is ~ per treatment costs RM220 and for two??? treatment is every 4 days or so... Poket koyak jugak gini macam :-) <br />

Lastly, I hope that the haze season will be over soon. Last night I checked, my O2 level was 96, which was usually 99. Panic a bit woooo. I also pity my friends who are having problem with breathing especially those with asthma. Stay indoor everyone!

I had daily shot of 3 grams of B17 at a local clinic right after work. Around 4.30 pm, wahhh cancer cells were starving too at that time eh! 14 shots altogether during fasting months (minus the weekends) and Alhamdulillah it shows a positive effect. Since the screening for the hitv immunotherapy, with the tests and the touch to measure the tumor, it has started to bleed. But now, my tumor has stopped bleeding. I had another six shots after raya which were done while fasting too. Pains on my back has gone, gone forever I hope! after this, just continue with two or three tablets of 500 mg amigdalin and some apricot seeds too in between. They say must take other vitamins like zinc, vit C etc to make the b17 work. Of course I'll supplement myself with those too.</div>

What's next? Well, just wait and see and cherish every moment. There is no doctor's appointment to look forward to, I'm fully responsible in taking care of myself now. Of course I have my benchmark; I have gone through bad times and I know the feeling. So just look for the signal and follow my intuition on what's next. As at now, health wise I'm alright. I can still drive long distance day or night; and infact, during third day of raya, I drove down to Kluang Johor for an engagement ceremony. My husband has a panic attack syndrome whereby he cannot drive on the highway ~ sudah kene sampuk dengan hantu highway eh :-) Kids can drive but they are not allowed to, so the steering is mine :-)</div>

As long as I can perform my daily routine like sending my kid to school, driving to work, do a bit of cooking and household chores, perform my prayers, recite Qur'an at ease, I'm alright and Alhamdulillah. Just pray that USD won't go further up or rather, ringgit won't go further down :-( So much that I want to, trip to Fuda has to be postponed due to exchange rate. As for now, duduk ontok2 yo lah kek sini :-) </div>

<br />
Relating to the previous entry, Pak Andak Gerik doesn't work with me eh. Too many pantang, I just cannot cope with it :-) HA HA HA<br />
<br />
Soon after, I came across an ad of a local hospital looking for clinical trial patients for HITV immunotherapy. I was a bit excited about it and approach them to enroll. As usual, I have to go through many procedure to see if I'm qualified. I had mammo for the unaffected breast, ultrasound, and PET CT scan. A few trips made to the hospital and in the end, the doc emailed me telling me that I'm not qualified because I have done iodine seeding before. The iodine seeding was done last year and it could not possibly be in my body anymore. Well, it could be a blessing in disguise ~ while waiting for them to say yes or no, I received news that a friend who did the same procedure at a private hospital here, passed on. The night before, he sent me the image of his PET CT showing the before and after HITV. His cancer is almost cleared, yet he did not survive.<br />
<br />
So what will be my plan b? Looking back at the treatment that I have gone through so far, I can say that the B17 injection was effective. Therefore, I have ordered my own supply through online and waiting for it to get here. I figure, if I do it during this fasting month, it would be more effective. During fasting month, cancer cells are starving too and while they are at a weaker state, I give them B17, hopefully they will die off.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I'm trying the butterfly tea, from the butterfly leaves. News has spread around that the leaves, when boiled, can cure lots of sickness and there are also success stories on cancer patients too. Why not give it a try eh...<br />
<br />

Well, nothing much from the visit; they merajuk already to treat me coz' I declined the medicine they recommended. Hence, they refuse to order a ct scan for me. Never mind, too much radiation from the ct scan is not good anyway :-) As long as I'm healthy, I feel healthy, it is a blessing already. They don't even set my next appointment date; they say if I need to go to the hospital, just call. Like that punya attitude also ada la ~ haiyyyaaaa, gini macam how am I going to inform my employer of my current state? Like this I can tai chi all the way la :-)<br />
<br />
No worries, I've been taking care of myself since day one. I don't take any hospital medication now but I supplement myself with the herbal products namely himalaya products and shaklee of course. I tried cellmaxx recently, but it did not ngam with me, pain here and there again, so no point of taking. Sari agegard also tuang-tuang now. I had my blood test done recently for CA15-3. The reading was 40.0 U/ml. Normal should be below 39.1. I'm a little bit above the normal eh, but still ok la, my reading at Fuda last December was 46. Still got improvement maaaaaa...<br />
<br />
I'm planning to go to Fuda again for the cancer stem cell vaccine. But at this moment, $$$ doesn't permit. I have heard a lot of success stories about Pak Andak Gerik ~ stage 4 pun boleh baik. Wah! apa kata I give it a try. Actually I have heard about this since last November, but since I have already bought a ticket to Guangzhou, I thought I should try this Pak Andak after I came back from Fuda. I managed to convince my husband to go last weekend. Driving from my place to Gerik was like 4 and a half hours, not so bad eh, but I myself have to drive from Behrang to Kuala Kangsar and from Kuala Kangsar to home coz' my hubby was not feeling well.<br />

<br />
We reached Gerik around 12:45 pm, went straight to Pak Andak's house to get the number. Our garmin was very reliable this time and brought us in front of his door. There was no one to entertain us, just a list of names and guess what, I got no 87. Quite a long list eh, and those names are from all over, mostly Kelantan, Terengganu, Selangor, & Penang. The treatment starts at 3:00 pm til midnight (everyday except Monday and Tuesday). So we thought we'd better check in the hotel first, freshen up and get something to eat. My husband has already booked Sri Inai Inn, so we checked in. The receptionist kind of know already we came for treatment and we, being over peramah, probe further about the treatment. Guess what, this Inn is fully booked every time because of Pak Andak. At times, when some dato'-dato' came for treatment, they had it at the hotel, import Pak Andak over (but of course, after midnight when Pak Andak finished treating others at his home). As for Pak Andak's patients, some came in an ambulance, on hospital beds, wheelchair, the hotel staff would know how to handle. They can even prepare meals for orang sakit :-)<br />

We had lunch at the nearby restaurant. I had rice with fish asam pedas and some ulam-ulam. I was quite surprised to see the bill but when we asked the owner what was the name of the fish, we understood why. We had tenggalan fish, an exotic fish, fresh from the river. It was really tasty and worth it! After lunch we went straight to Pak Andak's house to find out what number was on. It was really pitiful to see the people who came for treatment; some of them are still with tubes on, some with long surgery scars, some with canes and true enough, they wore sour faces, no mood as they were in pain, hoping for cure.<br />

<br />
We registered at Pak Andak's kitchen, collected my number and asked them when would the treatment be. They advised to come back after Isyak prayer. We went back to the hotel, and get some rest after touring the town. <br />
<br />
After dinner, we went back to Pak Andak's house. So the story begins. His treatment is to transfer the sickness to a chicken. We don't have to bring our own chicken as Pak Andak and the crew will source out the chickens from the village. Whoaaaa 100 over patients a day, that many to source out, habis ayam satu kampung :-) But we still have to pay for the chicken and the price is depending on the weight of the chicken. As for me, on the first treatment, I got the 'virgin' chicken and it costs me RM18 only. On the second treatment the next day, I had a cock, a real big one, and it costs me RM30. After treatment, these chickens will be freed and usually they will die within 3 days. At times, for a really cronic patient, during treatment, the chicken died already, and they will have to find a replacement to continue the treatment.<br />
<br />
Besides chicken, we can buy plain water sourced from the mountain for Pak Andak to recite some doa, and we bring home to drink and to wipe at the painful area. The 5 liter bottle costs rm7, and the 1.5 liter bottle costs rm3. The water tastes good, full of minerals. <br />
<br />
Since there were many patients, it's impossible to treat one by one, so he did it in groups. One group consists of 10 people, separating men and women. We gathered in a room, Pak Andak will recite the doa to make the 'air tawar' first, then only he will treat one by one using the chicken with Mak Andak's help. He will scan the area with cancer, collect them at one area (in my case, the br**st) where he will put the chicken for a while there. I was worried that the chicken would poke my face, but trust me, the chicken was obedient :-) When done, I just pay for the chicken and cengkuk/sedekah some to Mak Andak. They did not set any price for treatment, just sedekah how much we desire. How much does it cost to treat cancer at the hospital? A bit of sedekah to Pak Andak is alright la eh, to honor his expertise.<br />
<br />
By the time I'm done, it was already 11:30 pm. The earliest we can register for the treatment next day was at 2:00 am. So we decided to go back to the hotel and tried to get some sleep. When we came back at 2:00 am, some have already registered and I got number 22, hoping to get treatment before night time so that we can make the trip back home before it gets dark.<br />
<br />
On the next day, after check out, we went straight to Pak Andak's house. I got into the treatment room around 4:00 pm. This time around, Pak Andak said, "tinggal sikit lagi ni eh, lepas-lepas ni badan akan rasa ringan". In shaa Allah... Usually after first treatment, we will feel painful, but as for me, I just felt my br**st throbbing but after drinking the water, it feels alright. At the point of writing, I can also feel pain, but manageable. There are some pantang that we have to adhere, the main one is, not to take any hospital medication. The rest of the list is as attached below. The pantang period is around 2 weeks, some say 3 months. But as long as we feel alright, just go ahead and eat. Actually I don't like to pantang (refrain from eating), I did it once and my weight dropped until I was really skinny ~ 46 kg. That was really scary! Some items in the list, like pisang (banana), which is my favorite, I cannot refrain from eating, good source of potassium eh. What more pisang goreng ~ certainly my favorite!<br />

So much about treatment in Gerik. Pray that it works so that I don't have to make trips to Fuda again :-) Even if it doesn't, it was a great experience and certainly it will be in one my chapters in my book. When? Just wait and see...<br />

Alhamdulillah, blessed with 24 years of marriage...pray for many more years to come. The above photo was taken during my cousin's wedding last Saturday. It was a kampung style wedding with rewang, own cooking and of course the pelamin was homemade too :-) Not bad eh! <br />
<br />
Being a kampung style wedding, lots of things need to be done. Luckily we are from a big family, each person contribute a bit, and we managed to make it happen. On Friday morning, I help put up the pelamin, we make do with what my aunt had like curtains and so on and the result was not bad :-)<br />
In the afternoon, I helped clean the chicken ~ 70 of them! It was a dirty job but somebody has to do it. The next morning, I helped in the kitchen, preparing food for almost 1000 guests. The point is, I have the energy to lend a hand. That was a proof that my health has improved and I thank Allah for it, Alhamdulillah.<br />

Spot me if you can :-) This is just part of the members from my mom's parents. It was quite tough to gather everyone in the hot sun! Uncles and aunties as well as cousins were happy to see me well and healthy. This wedding acts as a reunion for us and we really enjoyed each other's company. Actually the wedding reception is for my mom's youngest sister's son. The wife must be amazed of the big family and she sure wouldn't remember each and everyone of us. I myself don't get all the names of my cousins since we usually met during raya time only. But now, thanks to the advanced technology whereby we can communicate through Whatsapp ~ a group has been created :-)<br />
<br />
From my mom's side, there was less cancer occurrence. Only my sister and I got cancer, and my cousin's son has leukemia. 14 of 15 siblings of my mom, are still alive ~ common sickness are osteo-arthritis for the ladies, and back pain for the men. Another common occurrence was stone in gall bladder of which, some have had them surgically removed. My grandfather died at the age of around 100, and my grandmother died at the age of 80 plus. The eldest, my mom is now 78. Hopefully we will follow their trait and live longer even though we got cancer.<br />
<br />
Around ten days from now, it will be 6 years since I was diagnosed and confirmed with breast cancer. Health wise, I'm alright. My next check up will be on 18/3/15, when I will request for a CT scan to see the progress so far. The new semester will begin soon and I hope I will not be stressed out with the workload...<br />

Few weeks in the office, quite enjoy seeing faces of my colleagues ~ their expressions are like seeing someone rising from the dead :-) hah! stage 4 can recover meh???<br />
<br />
With Allah's will, and strong determination to get well, in shaa Allah, whatever stage you are, you will recover.<br />
<br />
Nothing much at work, just preparing for next semester, after two years leave, banyak sudah lupa beb! really need to get back in track. In the meantime, I'm translating the book by Prof Xu - Follow me to fight against cancer. I'm delegating the other book (Nothing but the truth) to my daughter since she is on her semester break now. Don't know how much can she do but at least I can get something going.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, if you need the English version of the books, I have some copies with me. Whatsapp me at 014-371 4574 (data line only). It's rm20 per book, and postage is rm6. I can send poslaju to you as well. Fuda is kind enough to let me distribute the books, which can help me cover my medical expenses. Every month got to pay credit card for the medical expenses charged, surely no new clothes and nice tudung for me eh!<br />
<br />
On another note, the books serve as a very good eye opener on the modern technologies available in treating cancer now. Too bad, there are doctors out there who thought that cryo is to freeze the cancer cells to stop it from spreading, which is not the case. It actually kills the cancer cells coz' cancer cells are fragile too, if its too cold, they will die, if its too hot, they will die too. What I prefer most, is the less aggressive treatment, I still have both bouncing. Had I follow the conventional treatment of mastec, chemo & radio, I may have lost one. Not balance eh :-)<br />
<br />
I enclose the pics of the books and their contents.<br />

I hope this will be an eye opener for the doctors here too. Go and learn these new technologies and adopt them here. These technologies are not in China only ok, it's worldwide. Since China is the closest and the cost is rather affordable, China it is! With more and more people becoming aware of this less aggressive treatment, more and more people are seeking treatment abroad. Too bad we have to let the money flow out of our country. But what to do???</div>

Six months after my treatment in Fuda Cancer Hospital, I had the opportunity once again to go to Guangzhou for immunotherapy treatment. Immunotherapy is a procedure to strengthen the immune system in the body. For cancer patients, their immune system is not as strong as ordinary people whereby the t-cells that act as soldiers to destroy cancer cells have been reduced. For this immunotherapy, 60 ml of blood is taken from our body, get the t-cells and culture to propagate the t-cells. After eight days, the cultured t-cells will be infused back into the patient's body. Hopefully the bone marrow will then make new cells with lots of t-cells, which in turn, will destroy the cancer cells in the patient's body. The body's immune system will function normally and will destroy cancer cells naturally. As the result, the patient will be free of cancer.<br />

<br />
My trip to Fuda this time took two weeks. This time only me and my sister went there and we took Airasia and as usual, the representative from Fuda came and picked us up at the airport. We arrive at the hospital at night and felt a bit strange because it was not like the hospital we experienced before. The next morning we knew that we were in South Fuda, the first Fuda hospital, rather than in North Fuda. Apparently, doctors and nurses on the 6th floor of Fuda North, moved to South Fuda and we followed suit. Facilities offered are approximately equal to Fuda North, but there is no halal corner in Fuda South. Therefore, we have to cook our food at the roof top of the hospital building.<br />
<br />
When a CT scan was done, they found a lump of 3.9 x 2.7 x 2.4 cm. Possibly during the first cryo-run, there was still lagging nodule which has grown bigger. I did not take the hormone treatment or oral chemo after the first cryo, which explained the existence of another lump. Since I still have my menses every month, and my cancer is estrogen and progesterone positive, it gave the opportunity for the tumor to regrow. Cryo was performed on December 17, 2004. This time I did not opt for iodine seeding, on the other hand, they put in alcohol to cater for the lymphnode area.<br />
<br />
The cryo was performed on Wednesday, and in the next three days, they infused some medication for fast recovery. Oddly enough this time, both sides of the breast engorged though we did not feel any pain. While waiting for the t-cell to culture, we flew to Beijing for three days to visit the Great Wall of China and some other attractions in Beijing.<br />

When we return to Guangzhou, my swollen breasts have experienced a bit of infection. My affected breast was red and swollen and secrete watery discharge with unpleasant smell. I was given drips of antibiotics to address the problem. In addition, the cultured t-cells were also infused. The immunotherapy package that we chose was the cheapest one which costs RMB18,000. Therefore, only two bags of t-cells drip was given. The infusion went smooth, and I pray that the immunotherapy in successful, and my immune system will become stronger to fight my cancer.<br />

While at the hospital, Prof Xu, the chief President of Fuda, who is also a liver cancer survivor, came to my room for a visit. He has written two books on treatments and success stories encountered in Fuda, namely "Nothing but truth" and "Follow me to fight against Cancer". I am honored to be given the opportunity to translate the books into malay. He said. "when it's done, we can print it and you can distribute it to help cover your treatment cost in Fuda". How nice :-)<br />

I'm now back at work. Colleagues who have not seen me for quite sometime, were amazed that I got through this ordeal and I look really healthy and glowy. To the readers out there, I'm just sharing my experience in this blog and I don't intend to persuade anyone to go and have treatment abroad. I did it because it is convenient for me and I prefer a less aggressive treatment. You are free to explore it, and in fact, three of my friends are having their treatment in Fuda now. It is not for sure that you will get 100% cured, after all, it's Allah's willing that I'm at the stage where I'm at now. <br />
<br />
I still go for check-ups at HKL. In fact, I have an appointment with my onco next week. To see the success of the immunotherapy, is quite early to tell. As long as I'm fine and the cancer does not bother me too much, I'm thankful ~ Alhamdulillah...I still have both breasts bouncing :-)<br />

Done with fasting and Eid celebration! I promised in my last posting that I will write about my experience in Fuda Cancer Hospital. I would say it was an excellent experience for me and my sister ~we had less invasive treatment of cryoablation and iodine seeding of which I can feel that the tumor has shrunk tremendously. My sister also has made an excellent progress. Before going to Fuda, she was using a cane and she had to use a chair while praying. Now she can move around without a cane and she can perform her prayers just like a normal person, Alhamdulillah.<br />

<br />
We spent around one week in Fuda as per the itinerary. I brought along my eldest daughter who was on her semester break, to help us around.<br />
<br />
Day 1 ~ Took MAS 9.35 am flight, reached Guangzhou Baiyun International airport around 1.35 pm. The flight was smooth, the funny thing was, my daughter cried of ear pain close to landing. The fare to & fro was rm1,420 per person. We were greeted by a young lady at the airport, who took us to an ambulance van to bring us to Fuda Cancer Hospital. The trip took around an hour passing through highways and even dark scary tunnel. When we reached the hospital, we were brought into a single room with 2 beds. It was a very comfy room with clean toilet! All accessories were around like towels, shower creme, shampoo and even toothbrush & toothpaste! Slippers were also provided. We met Ricky, an Indonesian chinese who work there at the hospital. He can talk malay, what a comfort! We were greeted with orange juice & bread too. The registration process began, and I have to swipe my card for deposits for two persons, me and my sister. After that we had a tour around the hospital and to my surprise, they have prayer room for muslims too. Adding to my surprise, they even have halal corner at the canteen where we can have our breakfast, lunch dinner. They cater from an arabic restaurant and true enough, we have arab food in China! I was expecting chinese food here but it's ok, as long as we have food, it's really good enough. The surprising thing is lunch & dinner cost RMB50 each and the serving was quite big, even though the three of us shared food, we still have leftovers to bring into the room :-) When stomach is already full, the best thing to do was to get a good night sleep after a long tiring day.<br />
<br />
Day 2 - The room was also equipped with tv and this morning my daughter discovered that they have channels including CCTV, CNN, some indon channels and to my daughter's surprise ~ the movie channels! At least she would not feel bored accompanying me at the hospital. As for treatment, we had our blood, urine and feces taken for tests, and in the morning we went through ultrasound and x-ray. We were free in the afternoon and took the opportunity to walk around the hospital for sightseeing. There was a market nearby where we bought some fruits including lychee. Usually we had lychee as a canned food, and we had it fresh while we were there :-)<br />

<br />
Day 3 - We were a bit worried that they never mention when the cryosurgery would be performed. I then told them that I have already bought flight ticket on the following Sunday and I was worried that they cannot perform enough procedures during the time as I was made to aware that after the cryosurgery, I may need two days rest before the iodine seeding can be performed. To my relief, they informed that the cryosurgery and the iodine seeding would be performed together the next day. We had CT Scan in the afternoon for them to mark where they can poke in the needles for the cryosurgery and iodine seeding.<br />
<br />
Day 4 - My case was the first one and was requested to be ready by 8:00. They were very punctual indeed and sharp 8:00 they wheeled me to the OT for the procedure. They put me on GA, and I felt that as as soon as I doze off I was woken up again and they were done with the procedure. It was 9:30. I was then put into and ICU for recovery. I was attended by a Malaysian doctor who studied there and worked there as well. When I was done, my sister was wheeled to the OT for her procedure.<br />
<br />
<br />
I was supposed to stay in the ICU for a day, but since my condition was ok, I requested to go back to my room as I had to perform my daily prayers and it would be convenient to perform it in my room. I managed to go toilet by myself for the ablution, the breast felt a bit sore but the pain was manageable. Had I go for mastectomy, I'm sure I could not get up real soon (based on friends' experience of mastectomy).<br />

The scar healed very fast coz' there were only three holes ~ two for cryo and one for iodine seeding. If you wonder what a cryosurgery is, it is actually the freezing of the cancer cells to like minus 46 degree celcius and it was done by inserting the argon gas on the tumor to freeze it, followed by helium gas to bring back to normal temperature. Cancer cells die off when in a very cold condition. The dead cells would then be removed by the body through the normal elimination process of dead cells in our body.<br />
<br />
As for iodine seeding, it is actually a low dose radiation in the form of seeds, the same size of a grain rice. The purpose is to kill the cancer cells that has spread to other parts of the body. I had five seeds inserted, while my sister had 30. We were not supposed to be near babies and pregnant mothers as a precaution. <br />
<br />
Day 5 - Another resting day ~ I was given drips of chinese medication, they said ~ to make me stronger :-) I had a chest x-ray in the afternoon. The rest of the day, we just browse the internet for our next mission before we leave China ~ shopping! We mentioned to the nurse about our intention, and the doctor said they could only let us go the next day as we need to take another round of chinese medication day after.<br />
<br />
Day 6 - I removed the bandage by myself and the wound healed nicely. I had a good shower, excited over the fact that we could check out and head to Beijing Lu for shopping :-) When we were done with the drips we packed our things and ready to check out.<br />
<br />
The final bill for me was around RMB 35,000 ~ I'm very pleased as it was much cheaper than I expected. My sister's bill was around RMB 40,000 coz' she had more iodine seedings and other medication than mine. We then took a cab to a hotel near Beijing Lu. Feeling quite lost because we don't know any mandarin but were pleased to have discovered the road that was like a shopping heaven :-)<br />

The mission continued on the next day. I was quite surprised that only three day after a surgery, we managed to walk a long distance and long hours, shopping, in and out of outlets to find souvenirs for our family as well as place to eat. We went out around 10 am, came back to the hotel around 6 pm, and went out again at night til the shops closed at 10 pm. Just can't imagine where the energy came from :-)</div>

On the next day, we packed our bags and checked out around 11 am. Such an excellent customer service, the hospital driver picked us up at the hotel and drove us to the airport, and brought us to the check in counter for us to fly home :-)<br />
<br />
All in all, it was an exciting experience and I'm really satisfied with it. Friends that has not met me for quite some times, say that I look good, much better than before. I plan to go again soon for the immunotherapy. It is a procedure to strengthen my immune system so that in the future my immune system can fight the cancer cells by itself. And for it, I need two more trips, to extract my blood out for them to culture and boost my T-cells, and a month after, to infuse the T-cells back into my body.<br />

I’m proud to be the first Malaysian malay to have treatment at Fuda Cancer Hospital :-) Few weeks back, there was a news saying that one of our MPs died while receiving cancer treatment in Guangzhou. I checked with Fuda and they had no patient by his name, thank God! There are lots of cancer hospitals in Guangzhou and various treatments available, and we have to do our research to find out which one suits us. But then again, if God says it's our time already, regardless of where we are, we still will 'go'. Just have to be prepared all the time...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245053215489915587.post-8671153004638543812014-07-08T18:04:00.001+08:002014-07-08T18:04:36.565+08:00Progress so farMonths of silence! I'm alright, alive and kicking, Alhamdulillah.
Updating from the previous post, few month after I'm done with the chemo, I got my menstrual again. This is certainly not a good sign since my cancer is ER/PR positive. Sad to say, the lump grew bigger again. In October 2013, I began to feel the pain on my back again. I began to see this Ustaz who practise using Qur'an recitation to transfer the cancer cells to a kemboja plant. It sounds silly but it works! I went to see the Ustaz every week day by day the pain went away and as at now I don't feel any pain anywhere.
Though I went for an alternative treatment, I still seek the conventional method. During an appointment with the surgeon, he advised for another round of chemo to shrink the lump before having a mastectomy. I have no other choice and agreed to his proposal.<br />
<br />
I started on an oral chemo with six cycles of xeloda. During each cycle, I took three tablets in the morning and three at night for 14 days, rest for one week and continue on next cycle once the blood report is alright. I had to take some b6 pills to counter for the side effect of numbness on hands and feet. I did not take it regularly in the beginning coz' I don't feel any numbness anywhere. But when I got blisters on my feet, I began to take the b6 regularly :-) Other than that, the skin got extra dry that I need to apply mosturiser frequently. Appetite was good throughout ~ proven by the weighing scale :-) I'm now 57kg, gained 10 kgs from the worst reading recorded during my sickness.
I'm now done with the oral chemo and the lump has shrunk to a good size for surgery. But I'm now thinking twice whether to have the surgery. Trying to run away again eh!<br />
<br />
Sometimes in March, as I lay on my ceragem having my daily massage, I came across a blog ~ "I'm keeping them", story on an American who preserved both breasts by going through cryoablation instead of mastectomy. Cryoablation is a procedure whereby the tumor is injected with argon and helium gas to freeze the cancer cells. Needles are inserted to the tumor, guided by CT scan. Once frozen, the dead cancer cells will be absorbed and removed from our body through the usual removing dead cells process. As if I found the light at the end of the tunnel, I contacted the author for further leads and I came across Fuda Cancer Hospital where the cryoablation can be performed.<br />
<br />
Once I got the contact, I began emailing the consultant for details. My concern was the $$ that I would have to spend for the procedure. They required that I do a PET/CT scan to see my current stage. PET/CT scan was done in May and at that time the size of the tumor was around 4.5 cm. When I sent them the result, they estimated that the cost would be around RMB 50K - 60K. I decided to proceed with it for these reasons :<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>My OKU daughter has just gone for a hip surgery which required her to be on cast for three months. I have to manage her ~ carry her to the bathroom, bath her, feed her and basically do everything for her. If I go for mastectomy, I wouldn't be able to do all the chores, and who would?</li>
<li>Most of the cases that I came across, who went for surgery, had recurrences on other places. Loosing the breast is a sad thing, having a recurrence is double the blow! </li>
<li>People I know who went for surgery, had a tough time during the healing process. It was really scary to learn about other people's experience & I can imagine myself going through it! I chicken :-)</li>
<li>And one last thing, as long as I live, I'd rather spend my hard-earned money to my benefit :-) Believe it or not, people tend to take advantage over our sickness ~ I nearly lose some money due to a dishonest buy & sell transaction!</li>
</ul>
<div>
Got to stop here, will update on my experience with the cryo :-)</div>

Some may think that I'm gone already because of the long silence eh :-) Alhamdulillah, I'm well and fine. <br />
<br />
The CT Scan done on Feb 8, 2013 showed "a huge lobulated heterogenous fungating mass...measuring 8.4 x 10.3 x 12.1 cm". Boy that was really big! Sternum was also affected with "lobulated soft tissue mass...measuring 3.8 x 7.4 x 8.9 cm. Lung was also affected, of which the largest lobe measuring 8 mm. And what does that mean? I was at stage 4 already. The Onco has warned me that at this stage chances of fully cured is very slim and they could only offer palliative care - relieving and preventing the suffering of patient. She also queried on my feeling at that time and guess what I said - "well, kalau ajal dah sampai, sakit ni adalah sebagai penyebabnya saja... ". When I told my friend about this, she asked whether I cried when receiving the news. Nope, I did not cry coz' I really believe that for every sickness that God gave us, there is also a cure for it, we will have to find which one is suitable.<br />
<br />
I started my chemo on March 4, 2013, 6 cycles of Docetaxel. Infusion was done on day care, I went in the morning, have it infused and go back afterwards. The after-effect is surprisingly quite mild compared to the one I experienced in the UK. But few days after my first infusion, I had a fever which required me to go to the hospital to check on my blood. Definitely the platelet was low but I did not get to be admitted after I promised that I will do so if I felt really bad. Hair started to fall, but no problem with me coz' I have experienced being bald before. This time round, it did not make me totally bald; the baby hair remained strong. I did not experience nausea and vomiting, but my tastebud was a bit different. Nonetheless, I ate what I can so that I won't feel very weak.<br />
<br />
The mild effect compared to the one held in the UK was I guess because of the supplements that I take during my recovery time. I had my Sarimah Sari agegard a sachet a day, vita lea multivitamins & Nutriferon and some other Shaklee products like vitamin C and so on. The 6 cycles went smooth; second dose on Mar 25, third dose on April 15, forth dose on May 8, fifth dose on May 29, and the last dose on June 19, 2013. Few days before those dates, I had to go to the hospital for blood check up, if my platelet was ok, I'm ok to receive the next dose and they also prescribed me the anti-histamine pills whereby I had to swallow 16 pills 3 times a day! Boy that was tough.<br />
<br />
I had another CT Scan on July 2, 2013 to see the effectiveness of the chemo. Alhamdulillah, the huge mass has shrunk to 5 cm, the other affected area has also shrunk. I would have expected it as I don't feel any pain on my chest anymore. During my bad times, the chest area hurt really bad that I couldn't get a peaceful sleep. Turning side to side was really painful. Laughing out loud was painful too; when someone cracked a joke, I had to leave so as not to feel the pain. And what a sad feeling was, when I read the Qur'an, I cannot even finish up one complete line. Walking upstairs to my bedroom was a challenge to - I easily felt tired and out of breath.<br />
<br />
But now, all the pain have gone, back pain is also gone too. It's typical of a breast cancer patient to experience back pain, the reason being, the nerve at the breast is the same with the nerve at the back. At one time I even went to see the malay tukang urut to see if there is anything wrong with my bone. The diagnosis was - urat tersepit bawah tulang belikat :-) With no back pain, I can perform my daily prayer at ease. I was infact able to perform 20 rakaat of tarawih prayer at the mosque during Ramadhan.<br />
<br />
Credit for the recovery also goes to the B17 injection that I took prior to the chemo. I had it in January before the chemo started and day by day I saw the improvement. If before, going in and out of the car is a painful experience, day after day, the pain went away.<br />
<br />
I'm actually due for surgery but I have been delaying it hoping that it will continue to shrink. I don't mind lumpectomy; mastectomy is really scary eh! I'm aware of the after-effect of the mastectomy. During my chemo I came across a lady who's whole hand/arm was bloated due to water retention. During my recent visit at the hospital, I bumped into her and she has gone thinner than before but the bloated arm was still visible. On another experience, a lady showed me her scar and she said the cancer grew back on the same spot. Wah, that's scary!<br />
<br />
All in all, as long as I have a quality life that I'm having now, being able to take care of family, drive my kid to school, pray at ease, go anywhere I like, is already a blessing. Opps, I infact perform my walking exercise at the park everyday now to control my blood pressure. So far so good, around 1,500 steps a day (800 - 1000 meter) at ease, is good enough for a cancer patient eh :-)<br />
<br />
In conclusion, cancer is a chronic metabolic disease, we just have to take care of what we eat. If so happen that you have one, no worries, a lot of people got cured by taking care of what they eat. Do the DAON - detox, alkalize, oxigenate, and nutrient, InshaaAllah we will be fine. Life is a gamble, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. If we take care of what we eat, we will be healthy and will win over the cancer. If we don't, we will lose. And not forgetting, DOA too...moga Allah SWT memberikan kesihatan yang baik dan umur yang panjang lagi berkat untuk kita semua, Amiinnn...<br />

Of course with the comfort of my sisters who joined me for the ceremony.<br />

When I came back from the UK, my daughter was admitted to the hospital for her neck surgery. Alhamdulillah, all went well and she is now recovering with her halo fixed on to her head. I accompanied her at the hospital for the first few days, and my husband took over for the next few days after the surgery because I was not well enough to take care of her especially when she needs to be carried to the toilet when she needed to pee. She was admitted for around a week, and during the days that my husband was taking care of her at the hospital, I still had to drive there everyday.<br />

<br />
The stress has taken its toll and on 3rd January, 2013, I myself was admitted to the hospital because my tumor bled heavily. It has been bleeding since few months back but it was controllable. That morning, the tumor must have hit a big vein and I could not control it anymore - surrender! My husband sent me to the emergency at HKL whereby few stitches were needed to stop the bleeding. My Hb was quite low and I was admitted. I didn't really mind coz' it could be a shortcut way to see the oncologist for proper treatment. I was actually trying to set an appointment earlier, but the earliest for new case would be end of February.<br />

<em>Self-shot for my girls who missed me while I was at the hospital</em></div>
<br />
While in the hospital, they managed to do a biopsy again since I did not bring along any pathology report to prove that I have brca. Boy the procedure was really painful, and the spot had to be stitched again once done. Two nights at the hospital, I was well to be discharged. They were going to set for a CT scan appointment to know the staging. I had the CT scan done on February 8, 2013 and am quite anxious to know where the cancer might have spread to.<br />
<br />
Like it or not, I have to go for a chemo to shrink the tumor before I can go for a surgery. Having experienced chemo before, I thought I should take something so that the cancer didn't look bad that I have to go through a heavy dose. B17 came into picture and starting January 8, 2013, I started to take the B17 injection, got it from my friend whose father had liver cancer and was at critical stage already when he had the B17 pack. He only managed to take few bottles before he passed on. I bought the rest - 54 ampoules of 3 grams each. I had 2 ampoules everyday, injected into my vein. Trust me, I did not do inject it by myself :-) I made my way to the clinic every night for it.<br />
<br />
I will see my doctor on 19th February, 2013, and my Onco on 22nd February, 2013. Hope for the best and I would not have to go for a heavy chemo...<br />

Really thankful to have lived this long and hope for many more years to come. Nothing grand, just a picnic at Putrajaya Wetland, in line with getting my girl relaxing her mind before she sits for her SPM starting this week. And for lunch, as usual we went to Saba' Restaurant for some mandi chicken briyani. No cake this time, I don't want to feed my cancer cells :-)<br />

<br />
As usual, during my birthday, I always get a present for myself :-) And guess what my birthday present for this year is - 18 day ozone treatment package! I have started on it yesterday, first impression, it's more systematic than the treatment that I had in Seri Kembangan. Before starting on any procedure, they took the blood test and today, the result is back. My CA 15.3 (cancer marker) reading was 126 U/ml. It should be below 39.1 U/ml. Although the cancer is there, I'm relief that the reading is not 400 or 700 or even 1000+ coz' they say there are cases of such! Other CA readings are within normal range. One point to note is that my Haemoglobin is a bit low, I need to scout for folic acid soon. Cholesterol was in the normal range - which makes my husband a bit puzzled as to why my BP is at the borderline.<br />
<br />
What do I get from the package? Well, yesterday I had the apheresis - the cleaning of the blood. They drew out blood from my left arm, make it pass through a machine to filter out the cholesterol & toxins, ozonate it and put back in the blood on my right arm. The colour of blood that they drew out was dark red, and guess what, the filtered blood that they put back in is bright red colour! Shall I say that I have blood like a baby's now? :-) This procedure will be done three times only, once everyweek.<br />

This morning I had the microbubble blood - the way they did it was that they drew out blood into a bag (like the bag we donate blood), and then they mix it out with ozone, put the ozonated blood back in. I also had insufflation (through nose) and through vagina too (I never heard that there is such treatment!)<br />

On top of it I also get supplements like vit C and something to clean the liver (injected into the vein). Ozone capsules were also provided, once taken, whenever I burp, I can smell the ozone :-) As at this point, everything went well, so far I did not feel any headache or anything like the one I had in Seri Kembangan.<br />
<br />
Pray that it will work this time. The reason being, I want to go for my graduation in December!<br />

Blame it on the toxins from the amalgam, well, I have had all amalgams changed to composite already but the lump is still there. Blame it on the lack of oxygen in the cells, well, I have spent 10K with the ozone treatment already, but the lump is still there. Come to think of it, maybe the way it's done is not correct for me - who knows how long can the oxygen stays in the cell and if I do it once a week, the cancer cells have time to grow before the next dose. Besides, the clinic is quite far from the place that I work, and to go there and have treatment takes quite some time and while the semester is running, I can't afford to be away for a long time. There is another ozone center nearby my workplace, now offering 18 days of ozone treatment (daily) for almost 9K. I'm contemplating to try it out but how if it doesn't work? I mean I have experience the ozone treatment before...<br />
<br />
Through the conversation with my ozone Dr, we still have to take care of our daily food intake, preferably fruit juice and vegetable juice. Haiiyaaa, can I blend i.e. the spinach and drink? I don't think so... carrot juice would be alright, but do I have the discipline to do it everyday? Can I not eat rice and all the good food together with it? The Dr advise not to cook the rice and other dishes in metal pots. But all pots at home are made of metal...And if I go and have lunch outside (during workdays) how can I control it?<br />
<br />
As of now, I do ozone bagging everyday as I have the ozonator at home. To ozonate everything before cooking or eating, wah, it takes courage and discipline & I'm not sure whether I can do it. My ozonator is placed in my bedroom and to go up and down to get things ozonated is quite a courageous thing to do isn't it? Or I might as well get another ozonator to be placed downstairs.<br />
<br />
Recently I came across info about ace maxs, an Indonesian product, a juice made of mangostene (manggis) and soursop (durian belanda). I have contacted the agent there, but unfortunately they cannot ship it here. Alternatively, I have ordered mangostene juice and will try it when it got it. <br />

I had my viva yesterday and Alhamdulillah I passed with minor correction. What a relief! I just need to do the amendments and submit the hardbound copy to the university. The stress of finishing off the PhD is over and now I can concentrate on my cancer battle.<br />
<br />
In the last post, I did mention about taking a break after submitting the thesis. The holiday in Tioman was superb. Everyone in the family enjoyed it very much. We even plan to go there again sometime. Unfortunately, too much of swimming and snorkelling has somewhat affect my tumor. I had infection on my affected breast to the extend that it bled profusely. I managed to control the bleeding by myself; had I gone to the hospital, they would have performed an emergency surgery on me. So instead, I google to find similar experience of bleeding breast tumor and I came across a natural healer's blog in Bali. From her blog, I got a lead of Dr (H) Chan, who believed that cancer is caused by heavy toxins in the body. In fact, the Bali woman had three root canals of which after she removed them, she is cured of her cancer. When I saw Dr (H) Chan, he tested my toxin levels and the readings are very very high. He made me an antidote for my super detox and advised me to remove all my amalgam filling which could be the source of heavy toxins in my body. No wonder whatever I take does not heal me - my immune system is busy clearing off the toxins and neglect my cancer. I have started to remove my amalgam fillings one by one now and have few more to go.<br />
<br />
Dr (H) Chan also prescibed me baking soda and maple syrup to cure the cancer. I asked him whether he knew of any doctor who can inject baking soda directly to the tumor and he gave me the number of Dr Mak in Seri Kembangan. I went to see Dr Mak and he suggested a combination of ozone and baking soda for my cancer treatment. I'm convinced after learning that lots of cancer patients and diabetic patients in his clinic got cured by ozone treatment. In my case, he injects baking soda alternate with ozone (per treatment), clean the blood with ozone & UV (around 30 minutes), and then infuse the baking soda directly into my vein. The treatment takes around 2 hours and I do it twice a week. So far, I have had 10 treatments and the tumor has started to shrink. My pocket shrinks too coz' per treatment costs me around RM500 :-) I don't really mind actually, and I pray that I'd get cured using this regime.<br />
<br />
One thing good about this ozone treatment compared to chemo is that I feel lively, I even had the chance to go to Netherlands last month for a conference. Over in Netherlands, I cycle around 3 kilometers everyday to the conference venue and I feel fine. I remember when I was in the UK, few days after the chemo I cycled to the office, when I reached the office I was out of breath and it took quite sometime to recover.<br />
<br />
And now it's fasting month, I have no problem fasting. Hopefully during fasting month the cancer cells will starve and with the ozone and baking soda, they will die off naturally...<br />

The next step is to prepare for viva, I guess I can take a break eh, by updating this blog.<br />
<br />
Healthwise, I'm alright despite the stress of writing and finishing off. People who seldom meet me, say that I'm really really slim. My cousin that I met during my aunt's funeral recently, said I shouldn't be this thin at this age. Why? I look sick eh? My friend on FB when commenting on my photo was asking if I was alright, and advised that I should go and check my sugar level. Hyperglycemia? Maybe not as I don't take sweet things. Hypoglycemia? Maybe not too coz' I don't have any symptom of being in that state. I'm perfectly alright, BP is normal, BMI is normal and I'm enjoying myself being slim especially when I go out with my eldest daughter; her friends thought that I was her big sister :-) When I go anywhere, people call me 'kakak' rather than 'makcik'. Ahhhhh, what a pleasure.<br />
<br />
As for the progress of my big C, I'm now taking keladi tikus capsule (local product) or its scientific name <em>Typhonium Flagelliforme. </em>So far so good, I can see the reaction and I'm going to continue taking it. I have also tried few other products from US but I guess I'd stick to the keladi tikus which is affordable and effective. Dari kaya kan orang luar, baik kaya kan sedara se islam sendiri ek.<br />
<br />
I'm still taking the sabah snake grass, sometimes by just chewing the leaves. My nursery friend told me that there was one doctor diagnosed with BC stage one, she chewed three leaves every day (few times a day maybe) and the cancer is gone in a month. Wah! Dr also go for alternative eh. True enough, they know that the chemo is not good, it's poisoning the body and yet they recommend people to go through the chemo, radiation and surgery...<br />
<br />
When I was busy writing up, I skipped my aerobics and as an alternative, I have now started walking every day at the park near home. After I dropped the kids at school, I stop by at the park and walk for 20 minutes with my eldest who is on holiday now. It feels good, really sweating and the best part is that I breath in oxygen every morning. The park is lively in the morning with a group of people doing tai chi, some jog and some walk too. I guess people are aware of the need for exercise and are really practising it eh. Excellent!<br />
<br />
Kids will be on school holiday next week and coincidently, our uni will be on Gawai holiday next week. My eldest is also on holiday, so we thought it would be a good time to take a break. Our destination would be Tioman Island. I've never been there and really looking forward to the trip next week. It's time to enjoy the white sandy beaches and the clear water and I'm looking forward to snorkeling too. But before going, I should take a pic of mine before going coz' I'm sure I'd be very tanned when I get back :-) <br />

The question is - what to eat? I thought I'd post it here to benefit others as well. Like it or not, cancer is a chronic metabolic disease. We are what we eat, therefore, we must change our food intake. Eat fresh food, avoid processed food, avoid dairy products, avoid sugar,& take lots of anti-oxidants. What are those? I think we can google search by ourselves eh...By the way, a recent visit to the alternative practitioners, they forbid me from taking chicken, egg and banana until I'm cured. Why chicken? We pretty well know eh the live of a chicken is 45 days before they are slaughtered. Wah, so fast huh! surely there are lot of growth hormone being injected. When we eat the chicken, coincidently we consume the growth hormone too. Our cancer cells become very happy :-)<br /><br />Besides food intake, we must also make sure our BMI is within a normal range. When I was diagnosed my BMI was really over the normal range but now, with lots of pantang, my BMI is now at a normal range.<br /><br />How to get a normal BMI? Well, surely we must eat less, and exercise. I've just started joining aerobic at the office and have already planned with a few friends to resume swimming at our uni's pool. But then again if you prefer less stranious exercise, yoga or taichi could be the other alternatives.<br /><br />Lastly, lead a happy life, reduce stress and insya'Allah we will be alright...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245053215489915587.post-43499416406856274992011-12-30T13:31:00.002+08:002011-12-30T14:07:39.445+08:00Musang king - you got me!I was in quite a severe pain this week because of this culprit - musang king, the yellow flesh durian that is very rich and creamy, courtesy of my neighbour :-) Can't sleep at night because the thing throbbed really bad that I had to take pain killer to doze me off.<br /><br />Well, I actually have been having durian since last week, the trees back in my hometown bare some fruits and I cannot resist looking at the king of fruit! I'm going back home again this weekend, but this time, I promise not to take any :-) Boy it was really painful. When I look back, durian is one of the forbidden item to consume while I'm on Sabah Snake Grass. <em>Padan muka ku - langgar pantang!</em><br /><br />Usually when I have had durian, I also drink the fresh hempedu bumi tea just to neutralize the sweetness. Unfortunately, when I had the durian at home here, there was no hempedu bumi tea to take. My hempedu bumi that grew wild in my garden pot, has been destroyed by the guy who cleared my garden recently. As the remedy, I just boil the soursop leaves and drink it as and when, and make sure I bring some to the office too. It works and the pain is now manageable.<br /><br />What an experience at the end of 2011...2012 is coming, wishing everyone who reads this blog a prosperous and a happy new year. 2011 was quite a good year, hoping for a better 2012, Insya'Allah...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245053215489915587.post-7647641541343847792011-11-29T15:57:00.002+08:002011-11-29T16:13:05.573+08:00Ample supply of Sabah Snake GrassA friend has just called that he has ample supply of Sabah Snake Grass in his nursery. This is a very good news to me as my SSG are still growing and the leaves are still young. The matured leaves seem to work for me based on my experience taking them. My friend has ample of it now in this rainy season, real big leaves which are ready for harvest. To those in Klang Valley area who would like a supply of fresh leaves at a very minimal cost (upah petik:-), do contact me at 019-2287366. Not only that the SSG is good to treat cancer, it can also be used to treat those with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high uric acid and diabetes.

I've been busy lately with teaching loads, some shootings (as I appeared in Wanita Hari Ini (TV3) recently and will appear in Nona soon) and managing the kids who were supposed to go for surgery last month but postponed til next week.<br /><br />Health wise, manageable. Felt a bit of pain lately after I had hempedu bumi blended with green apple recently. Came to know that the hempedu bumi is also call Indian Snake Grass, the cousin of Sabah Snake Grass that I've been taking :-) As for the pain, it shows that the treatment is responding. Soon the lump will get smaller and smaller and will be totally gone. At least I dreamt about it last night!<br /><br />Have to pen off now to go out and celebrate...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245053215489915587.post-74892870600280042252011-09-21T14:42:00.005+08:002011-09-21T16:11:44.118+08:00Go green<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXWs5L61AZFQIaUHj4kCs-59Y8jNIXDain3QLYc4J-Jeabglm1dQ69QRDXtI9JDPttUfy4gApkmZWs0tJkRLGiGVQfhL6YnZXj5FOONE60ek7tfZoF7vQ6MyCDC3tSOGIjVycrXZ0_t1h_/s1600/family+raya+2011.jpg"><br /></a><br />It has been almost two months since my previous entry.

Our theme this year is 'green'. In line with going back to nature, growing greens, eating greens :-)<br /><br />Raya is almost over, semester has already started and I'm back to normal life - teaching and finishing off my thesis. And at the same time, still fighting with the big 'C'.<br /><br />I went to Pasar Tani Shah Alam two weeks back and glad to find the Sabah Snake Grass - very healthy and bushy plant and I grabbed 4 of them, planning to re-grow more. I revisited about SSG in the net and guess what, some do advise to just chew the leaves! I'd be like kambing (goat) soon :-) For the sake of getting better, I don't mind. But I like it better by drinking the blended SSG with green apple which reminds me, I'm out of green apple and I should drop by at the pasar malam here to get some.<br /><br />Had breakfast with friends this morning and when chatting about health, they were amazed on how relax I'm when I told them that I felt another lump near my armpit. Well, as long as I'm ok, and I'm taking what I should to get rid of it, I need not worry about it. Besides, I haven't gone for my scan to check whether it's cancerous or not. I guess it's time to really go green eh!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245053215489915587.post-15783265681956843822011-08-01T14:56:00.001+08:002011-08-01T14:57:55.674+08:00Admitted into Hospital Ramadhan<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Symbol;"><span style=""><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span></span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->Welcome Ramadhan!
