just saw the doc today after radio, donno y I was thinking of lobotomies, maybe I just want it all to go away. So I ask if I were to have a surgical solution whether it would be equivalent to a frontal lobotomy. The answer was yes, and the side effects may be drastic, that was y they did not consider it. Bagus, I jadi sayur.
So now it's time to play 'omen' by prodigy or 'I whip my hair' real LOUD and do some head bangin' . Keep cool and rock on!
I also asked for some conselling and happy (anti depression) pills. :D

doctor day
The day I wanted came, and pretty quickly due to the holidays.
The radiotherapy was quick around 5 minutes and the nurse's name was Helen. Then it was the doctors. She ask if there was any new symptoms. I said same as usual. Wasn't keen on making the most minute observations cos I'll end up doing additional tests. So I just basically said nothing new.
You getting headaches because the radiotherapy causes more swelling and we can give you .... more pills. Yeah but not that bad. Man I just turned down pills ... what's wrong with me!
What I wanted to know was "how many times can I undergo radiotherapy if the cancer regrows?". The answer "this is the last time". "What's the alternative treatment if it (and probably will) regrow?". "Nothing or surgery." "Great choice, again." If the growth is confined to the brain then surgery should be 'simple' but if the nasal has growth then I'm facing more nightmares.
I AM FUCKED!
However I am feeling better. Not as depressed as when I was facing the dreaded news from the doc last time. I managed to hook up with a friend or 2 on facebook. That's good. They put a smile on my face and I feel better.

day 1 round 3
29th Dec. I was back doing what I did last time. Scan the bar code and sit and wait. Got called and got on the slab but with the additional mouth guard. I even remembered the nurse's name Alana (I think, shit maybe I didn't remember).
It was quick. Didn't take 10 minutes on the slab.
It was Wednesday, doctor day but not on the first week. I had a question to ask the doctor but it could wait, it would not make any difference anyways.
