My New Roll Hat

I was in the pink of health when I was in Singapore on Sunday and Monday but the moment I came back home, I started sniffling and the next day it bloomed into blocked nose and a very painful throat. It hasn’t graduated to a full fledged flu yet and I am hoping it won’t so I have been dosing myself with Vitamin C supplementsand taking lots of fluid to counter the flu bug.

In the meantime, can you believe that I now carry a roll of tissue in my handbag simply because the soft tissue simply is not sufficient for the moment. Am thinking of wearing a roll like a hat like the picture here.. lol!

Cheerio…

15th May Surgery

I’m back from Singapore. Fast eh? Anyway I returned to a house full of testors paint smell coz apparently Azwaj was trying to cover up some minor crack in the car. Anyway..

My trip to Singapore went smoothly even though I traveled on Sunday (a pleasant surprise indeed). I arrived in one piece at around 9pm.

I didn’t receive any calls from the hospital with my CT scan results the week before so I really didn’t know what to expect but I was hoping for all good results. Unfortunately during the appointment, my doctor told me that although the CT scan didn’t find anything abnormal, he still couldn’t rule out ovarian cancer for now. He told me that he can only confirm cancer or otherwise once he has access that “solid” mass during the surgery. So basically he would proceed with the keyhole surgery, take out the mass, send it to the labs while I am still under and find out. If it is negative, he would close me up and that will be the end of the surgery. If, however, it is positive, then he would take the necessary action to remove the cancer cells.

He also told me that since I have had repeat surgery on the same spot, the risk is also greater as adhesion might have occurred and depending on the severity of the adhesion, open surgery might be needed instead.

So my surgery is now confirmed for 15 May 2012 while the pre-ops is going to be done on 2nd May, two weeks before the surgery. What fun!

Packed and Ready To Go!

I initially planned to leave yesterday for Singapore but since I was not feeling too great, I postponed my trip to Sunday instead. To my horror on checking seats for coaches yesterday, I found that there was no more seats for the early coaches (I like to travel in the morning that way I arrive early into Singapore too). After further checking, I found that there was some seats available but it was for the night coach and I hate travelling at night.

I panicked for sure and started to check for flights into Singapore instead. Again all the early morning flights were booked leaving only the much later flights. How I wished I was I was looking for australia flights instead of Singapore ones since that flight had plenty of seats…lol!

Anyway, I decided to call up the booth to check again on seats availability and was told that they indeed had some seats available on the 2.30pm  coach but I got to hurry as it was first come first serve basis and there is no way I could make a booking via phone. Apparently some travel agent had just released the seats so it didn’t show up on the internet booking site.

So, YES. I got my coach tickets, my overnight bag is packed and I’m ready to face my doctor on Monday!

Cheerio…
