New me again..

New hair cut before notak... My hair started to fall everyday. Sooon..will be skin head.. Woot!

3rd cycle

My hair has started to fall little by little since my last treatment, today is the first round for my 3rd cycle. Last cycle was abit challenging as i have started to feel nausea like a pregnant woman however its not that bad and i didnt even vomit, its just the uncomfortable feeling in ur body reacting to the chemo meds. It went of after a few days and i still can do my work. Im still waiting for my progress check from thr doc later as i just had my CT scan just awhile ago. I hope positive results awaits for me.

My Cycle 2 Chemo 3

This is my 3rd chemo. Alhamdullilah, 1st and 2nd session treated me well. No obvious  side effect and any symptom of the chemo. My hair still with me. I heard from few doctors, some patients drop their hair on the 1st and 2nd chemo. Hope will be walking in the park all the way till the end of the 12th cycle. Inshaallah.
During the treatment, we met  lovely couple who shared the same room, the husband is having his 1st chemo session to treat his disease. They are very friendly, we chat and shared our feelings on the journey that we'd gone through and all comes to a conclusion positive mind set is the most powerful thing to fight this disease. With our pray and doa (me and my wife) wish him and his family all the best getting through this phase of life Inshallah, Amin.

The 2nd round of chemo

ABVD that is the name of the chemotherapy medicine that is going through my body.  Most of it contains cyclotoxic liquid that will help to kill the cancer cell. The universal treatment of most cancer stage 2.  
On 050712 i had another treatment, as of today there are 2 main effects that im going through that are skin irritation and slight feeling of nausea. So far its a mild effect, i can still run around and do my daily chores and complete some of unfinished business. However i still need to be extra cautious as im in a fragile situation (low imune system).

Chemo NO. 2 NEed New HAIR CUT!!!

Alhamdullilah and thank God , The Chemotherapy cycle 1 treated me good, there are NO side and after effect from the drugs. My dr said some people get nausea ,vomit and some bad after effect. At  first, before the drugs went into my blood system, i already ready my self for the after effect.....haha..thought maybe i can just layan the nausea or just sleep it trough.... i imagine it like a heavy migraine or something. My Doc also said it is depend on the person body.... if the body active and used to exercise...it can take the after effect. fuuUUuhh..sigh..lucky me.

The Beginning

DATE 251011

I’ve been Diagnosed Hodgkin’s Lymphoma 2^nd stage. It is a type of cancer…YUP, it is Cancer!...What??!!.The Big ‘C’ touch my life....…hmm.. .. yup I need to swallow and digests the news.  This took me months, I did my research and read up on the disease… and bla..bla bla.. 

Lucky me it’s a curable disease . Insha’Allah.  I am always positive, need extra hard work and LAYAN the treatment..

Now it is time to rest and hibernate. 

Holiday with reason…

How I got to Know..

A general question that people ask me... ..  how i found out about it?.... What is the symptoms? Macam mana kau tau ah?  

There are no prominent symptom in Hodgkin Lymphoma actually...is just that the disease grow and spread around lymph node and it start swelling . Eventually it will effect immune system of the body. Then u often start to get fever . Night sweat. Bla...bla.. If you browse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin's_lymphoma you can find all the symptom.

How i found out is not from any of the symptoms ...

Im a adrenaline junky and love extreme sports,  have been in rock climbing sports for years and recently involving in downhill mountain bike sport. I always been active in competition and always consent on development of my body in the sport. I always keep a look on the progress of stamina and endurance. 

Last year, around September, i can feel my stamina in my sport not on the peak, i got tired faster.Since then, my stamina started went down. I felt my breathing become shorter and each time in a session on downhill cycling. I did ignore.....till...when i felt tired just by climbing stairs at my university where i teach,that was when i realized something were wrong. I thought maybe something stuck at my heart that make it hard to pump...So i went SDMC to check..did Xray ....Dr said all my organ was in good condition as well my heart. Only that they found out something on my chest area in between my front ribs and organs. That make breathing hard, because it compress the space.

Went for PET scan, did Biopsy......... So the news came out a week after., found in chest and neck........... Dr told its Hodgskin Lymphoma stage 2...wow...hihi... date was 25102011.


Now this blog will share my journey trough Chemotherapy treatment, it will be going for 6 months with 12 cycle of chemotherapy, i already did my 1st cycle chemotherapy 21062012 just a day after celebrating my birthday with my family.I want it to be the day of  a new born of new Me.
