the wizard with a title

So it's time to see Dato' Dr Hj Fadzli Cheah.

His PR is pretty good. A stark contrast to the receptionist and nurse who seems so disconnected and unfriendly. He greets us and ask about my symptoms and then do a physical checkup. Can I have a tune-up? He also mentioned that the right eye is slightly swollen due to the swelling in the brain pressing on the optic nerve.


We talk about my condition. I ask him about the seizures and he said yes it's possible but that it may also happen after the op. What? It's gonna be a permanent souvenir like the scar! That sucks soo bad. :(

He also explained the surgical procedure. But it was very short, basically open this take it out then the ENT cracks this and take that out. That's it. I know that but the crack part was new and it's the part with sthe mell nerve. I will have to ask Dr Cheang (my designated surgeon) about this. He did mention that it should not be difficult as the tumor is close to the front and won't be a deep excavation to get at it. This was reassurring.

Also during the consultation Dr Tinnesh came for something. Dr Fadzli asked him in and asked about my case. He asked if I knew him and I just said sure. But the wife said no this was not the guy we met at the hospital. I was in a blur. But I was surprised that there was a connection between the 2 hospitals. Dr Fadzli said that they have a relationship. I guess it's a small world for them. They quickly crossed the procedure in my case and Dr Fadzli agreed with the course that the public hospital is going. This was comforting to know.

I also asked about the gamma treatment. He also concurred that it was not suitable for me due to it's size. So this is the second blow to the procedure. He (I think) says that it shrinks it but that it may reoccur.

After some more exchanges we go because he had a meeting. I forgot to ask about anti convulsion medication. Oh well I get another scan on wednesday at the hospital so I will try there lah.
