Day 5 and counting...

Yep! you read it right...First cycle of chemo started last Nov 9. Thank you very much guys! kung di dahil sa inyo, hindi ako magkalakas ng loob na simulan na agad...

oopppsss...im getting ahead of the story...hehehe...excited kasi ako....biro mo after ilang days na nakatengga ako sa hospital e ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng lakas na magcomputer hehehe...akala ko up to bukas pa ako malowbat...

nweiz here is my chemo plan para clear na din...medyo alam ko magulo yung mga explanation ko previously so eto trying my best to explain kung paano ba talaga sya (kuya?!) hihihi...

i am supposed to get 6 cycles of chemo. every cycle is composed of 28 days. in each cycle i am required to be confined in the hospital for almost 3 days para iadminister yung chemo drugs, twice. administration is thru IV(dextrose)...

so as i've mentioned na nagstart na yung first cycle ko nung nov 9 eto yung chemo plan,
here is the schedule:

(Nov 09-Nov 11) - confine sa hospital , so this is the start meaning Day 1 to 3
- Day 4 up Day 14 - go home, rest, work (if kaya) go on with life hihihi

(Nov 23-Nov 25) - confine again for 2nd session,
- Day 15 up Day 17

(Nov 26-Dec 06) - go home, rest, work (if kaya) go on with life hihihi Day 18- Day 28
- Day 28 (Dec 6) ends the first cycle

Day 1 (2nd cycle) - Dec 7...

ganun lang yung cycle....in between sessions i am required to undergo some tests to check kung okay ba yung mga platelets ko...this is to ensure that i am strong enough to continue...so dapat sandamakmak na talbos ng kamote at kangkong ang kainin ko ano para maiwasan bumagsak yung mga cells cells na yan, or else me gamot na ituturok sa akin which costs daw na 6000...haller! wishing that 100 pesos worth of kamote tops will surely do the job :)

for the past 12 sessions na nadaananan ko, this so far the hardest chemo treatment that i have experienced...now ko lang naranasan sobrang hilo, suka at hinang hina...hirap akong huminga...pang 13 n ito...so perhaps a good sign that better days are near...well, God didnt promise naman a smooth road, so since you guys sacrificed a lot to fund my treatment, better do my share by being strong and ask God more strength... I can't thank you enough, sa support and prayers nyo... May God Bless you all...

at first i was hesistant to start the session nung nov 9 kasi nga medyo di ko pa alam kung kakayanin yung payments. But God really made a way. Initially di ba 100K ang estimate sa akin per session so that means 200K per cycle. I was given a choice to do the chemo in delos santos medical center instead of st lukes tutal nagclinic din naman ang doctor ko dun. then if sa delos santos i will be able to get the medicine cheaper kasi sa med rep ko bibilhin thru my doctor. sympre mas cheap ang room ang board sa delos santos....

so i opted muna for a generic medicine since medyo malaki din ang difference kung branded. stayed in delos santos for almost 3 day, buy my own medicince and other parapernalia....

billing time : my doctor waived her professional fee, i was able to avail a deduction from philhealth and spend a total of P48,000 (first tsession treatment) !

Indeed God is good!
