Dietitian Appointment

I thought my aches and pains were due to the chemotherapy, but the medical dietitian is recommending a change in my daily food intake to include foods that can help me like berries and bananas. Maybe I should get an acai bowl everyday for  breakfast.

More Blood Tests

 

Almost every doctor appointment has blood tests. Surprisingly the process is relatively painless with the PICC Line. It took a medical procedure to get it installed into my arm when I first arrived at the hospital. The most difficult part is the time spent in the waiting room.

Removing Surgery Wound Dressings

Finally removing my surgery wound dressings. Cannot wait for the medical plugs to go to. It's been more than 2 months since my surgery and the wounds are completely healed. Plan for stitches to go next year.

Out-Patient Rehabilitation

 

They call it Rehabilitation Programme coz it's not only physiotherapy but also support group activities to get me back to my normal life. I thought I could just do with walks around the neighborhood or park, but I guess having similar people to talk too helps as well.

More Chemotherapy

 

Started on chemotherapy when I was still in the hospital. Have more sessions scheduled for the next 6 months at National Cancer Centre. They sell hats and wigs for patients to wear regularly indoors.

Pharmacy Shopping

Making shopping trips to the pharmacy every other day to get medical supplies. Cannot believe how many things I need, at least the items are in stock *whew*. Also taking the opportunity to get them to buy snacks and drinks for me as well.

First Out-Patient Appointment

Made my first trip back to the hospital clinic after discharge. Quite troublesome and time-consuming but I guess it's gonna be like that for the next 6 months at least. Thanking my family for making time to accompany me.
