Day 9 Cycle 2 Chemotherapy - 21 May 2025

Day 9 Cycle 2 Chemotherapy - 21 May 2025

SPO2 = 96

BP = 126/85
Pulse = 75
Weight = 65.9 kg

Temp : 36.3 C 

Woke up feeling quite fatigued.  Not sure if it was yesterday's gym session or the chemo drugs.  Anyway, I still forced myself to go for a walk just to ensure that I keep building up my body to take on the effects of the drugs.  So far, the mouth ulcers are not developing as aggressively as in my 1st cycle.  Hope it will stay that way.

Attended EXCO online today.  I'll leave SY and the rest to take CPG forward.  They should be competent enough to do it despite the volatile business environment.  Not my call anymore.  After all, I'm just an employee.  

The tingkat lunch was more vegetables today so that's good.  Met Eric and the lawyer in planning for my Will and LPA.  Now to discuss with the family on what's good for everyone.  

Other than the fatigue, overall side effects are quite ok today. Started a new box of Tagrisso today.

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 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.

Day 5 after Cycle 1 Chemotherapy - 25 Apr 2025

  Day 5 after Cycle 1 Chemotherapy SPO2 = 98 BP = 113/86 Pulse = 83 Weight = 67.6 kg Temp : 36.3 C Strangely, I managed to sleep almost through the night except for one toilet break at about 3am.  Other than that, the medications seemed to have held back the hiccups for now.  I'll have to see what the effects are for the rest of today.  Just read an article about Asian lung cancers from a Singapore Cancer Centre research, and it isn't very reassuring.  It said that some of the chemos don't work after awhile and the cancer relapses.  :(  I only pray that I'll be one of the "normal" patients that these treatments will work on.  Keeping my fingers crossed and God hears me!  Went out for a short 30 minute walk to the Tai Keng playground with wifey.  Feel slightly breathless, but that's probably psychological.  Good to get out for some fresh air.  Thus far, the hiccups are still held at bay.  Not sure if it will return, but I g...
