Hai obat hai obat...mari beli obat...

Adik aku dah selesai stage 1 chemo as part of the treatment for her cerebral lupus.
Not sure berapa banyak stage lagi....tanya doctor pun doctor jawab - "depends...." followed by a loooong pause. Lagi 2 minggu admit semula for 2nd cycle.





Setiap kali adik masuk hospital, mesti ada benda baru aku discover.
New experience (not necessarily pleasant), new knowledge gained:-

1) Rituximab - Air jampi imported. Harga 1 botol RM5,000. Adik aku kena amik 4 botol. Lepas harga sebijik kereta, tak pun down payment rumah. *gulp*

2) Cyclophosphamide - tonic mujarab untuk pesakit cancer & SLE. Rasa sekali, sure tak nak lagi.

Macam2 khasiat tonic neh. Boleh gugurkan rambut, boleh menguruskan badan with constant vomitting and diarrhoea, boleh menghitamkan lidah & kuku dan berbagai2 lagi.

3) 400mg of cyclo bersamaan dengan 4 jam kena tahan kencing.

4) Boleh tengok movie kat ipod touch (so the bodo!).

5) Parking charges kat HUKM maacam cibai. Parking attendant selamba badak letak harga sendiri.

6) Crossword puzzle have very little, well, almost no significant impact in brain stimulation. At least not mine. Lagi ngantuk ada la.

7) 2/3rd of the nurses & doctors in that ward muda daripada aku...haihh.

8) Doctor-doctor muda dan naive sangat delicious.....hehehehe.

9) Berbuat baik dengan nurse, insyaAllah bayak urusan akan jadi lebih mudah.
Berbuat baik dengan mamat yang antar food, insyaAllah, ko akan dapat extra food untuk bukan sahaja pesakit, tetapi kakak pesakit skali. Heh!

10) Adik aku memang kuat dan tabah. Kalau aku, hemm...ntah la.

Guess, all of us are learning to take it one day at a time, in our own ways.
God knows what lay ahead. As for now, I personally am grateful for what we have so far.
Syukur, alhamdulillah.
