I won the battle for this round

After several months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the PET scan result that I received yesterday has shown that “there is no scan evidence of metabolically active Lymphoma”. This means that I have won the battle for this round! Hooray! I am extremely happy! However, I can only be considered fully recovered if there is no relapse within 2 years.  

Dr. Lim suggested that I go for the last chemo as planned since my body can tolerate the chemo very well. But he cannot guarantee that going for more chemo will reduce the chance of relapse. I accepted his suggestion hoping that 1 more chemo can clear all remaining traces of cancerous cells in my body. The last chemo is scheduled on 20/Feb.

  3. Dear Jen,

    So happy for you yesterday when you mentioned to Irene that the PET scan result show no scan of lymphoma. We need to call for a celebration!!!!

    In deed what you say is right, we need to have a healthy lifestyle.

    This year resolution, I need to build up my body strength.

  4. Dean Jen,

    Hip Hip HORRAY! U have WIN it!!! Hihihihihi’ing….

    Relieved and intoxicated with joy when I heard this great news from you. Went ecstatic and forgot about asking in details. This is an ICONIC WIN in this war. This is our BIONIC Jen!

    Let’s dont bother about 2 years and be happy with what we have and live life to the fullest. I still believe that we have many years to enjoy nice games like the one we did in CNY or complain how much wrinkles we have later or doing many fun thingys etc after we retire.

    I agree with Siok that we have to celebrate this sweet win!

    Dear Siok,

    Every new year has a new resolution. This year resolution have to be fulfilled on this same year and we are waiting for that day to come really soon! BTW, we now see a written proof here ;)

    Love all,
    Irene
