Day 14 after Cycle 1 Chemotherapy - 4 May 2025

Day 14 after Cycle 1 Chemotherapy


SPO2 = 98
BP = 116/87
Pulse = 67
Weight = 65.8 kg

Temp : 36.3 C 

Sunday's my cheat day!  Went out for egg prata at the Jln Kayu branch at Tai Seng.  The PAP won a landslide victory, so all that noise and rah-rah on social media doesn't seem to match up with the silent majority's preference for stability and the incumbent.  

Lunch was a simple minced chicken meat porridge that wifey bought back. 

Had a smoothie for tea break with some peanut butter biscuits.  

The girls came over for dinner and I had fish and chips for a local restaurant.  The mouth ulcers and acne rashes remained stable and I am getting used to the inconvenience. The painful burn-like sores are a drag when eating and chewing, but something that I can manage.   Appetite is still ok.

Switch the Tagrisso regime to night so that I take the tablet just before going to bed.  Apparently from what I've read, this also minimises nausea.

Day 1 Cycle 3 Chemotherapy - 6 June 2025

Day 1 Cycle 3 Chemotherapy - 6 June 2025 SPO2 = 97 BP = 117/87 Pulse = 81 Weight = 65.3 kg Temp : 36.2 C   HB1AC : 5.4 Went off this morning to Mt Elizabeth Novena for my 3rd chemo cycle.  The change in venue was because the main clinic at Mt E Orchard was undergoing renovations.  It was the staffs' first day at this place and I could sense their stress.  However, everything was still professionally done and it was ok.   Dr Chan reviewed the PET scan report with us and he was happy with the results that showed a significant reduction in the tumours.  However, the ones in my left lung were also reduced, indicating that the earlier suspicion that the cancer had spread to the left lung was true.  Other than that, the outcome was generally positive and he discussed the possibility of a radiotherapy using possible proton radiotherapy.  He asked me to consider the options though physical resection is also another option.  To his own analy...

Day 14 Cycle 3 Chemotherapy - 19 June 2025

Day 14 Cycle 3 Chemotherapy - 19 June 2025 SPO2 = 97 BP = 113/85 Pulse = 77 Weight = 64.6 kg Temp : 36.3 C  Went for my morning walkie as the weather was overcast and not as hot as previous days.  Had chicken bolognese spaghetti at the Lor Ah Soo kopitiam again for lunch.  I must say that I like the tangy tomato based sauce and it suited me as it tasted more flavourful and not too bland.   I headed out to United World College at Dover to meet their environmental and gardening groups.  Shared some knowledge about butterflies and plants and creating habitats for biodiversity.  It was good to be up and about and it seemed to energise me abit.

Day 8 Cycle 3 Chemotherapy - 13 June 2025

Day 8 Cycle 3 Chemotherapy - 13 June 2025 SPO2 = 97 BP = 128/81 Pulse = 73 Weight = 66.2 kg Temp : 36.4 C   Dr Chan sent over my urine report.  Doesn't seem to be much of a problem in the indicators.  He will update me when the bacteria culture comes back in a few days' time.  Went to office for lunch with our CorpComms girls.  Had fish porridge. Afternoon was clearing up the room and some discussions.  Then we had the Collaborative Contracting sharing sessions till about 6pm.  Came home for a simple dinner after that.   Condition is stable, but generally dry skin with some painful cracks at the heels and fingers.  The one on my right thumb is particularly painful.
