The 4th cycle supposedly has scheduled on the 2nd Oct. Due to mummy's condition was extremely weak... she couldn't make it that day. After coming home from the 3rd one, she has been sleeping all days long for about more than 2 weeks. She has lost her appetite, she has lost her energy and even she has lost her ability to control on her motion... We have thought of means and ways to help her stimulates back the taste buds... but yet, she feels everything bitter.
On the 2nd Oct, we brought her back to hospital for the chemo, and as speculated, she is not fit for the theraphy that day. Blood test result came out that she was so weak to go through it... her blood count drops. For a normal person, they should have a 12 pints counts, for a chemo patient they should have a 8 pints counts. But mummy, had only 6. Doctor advises she has to take alot of protein to regain her energy and to raise the blood counts. But yet, when we thought of discharging her from the theraphy ward, doctor came by and told us mummy needed to be tranfused in 2 pints of blood, which every pint would takes about 3 - 4 hours.
Mummy has to be admitted into ward that night... We stayed and accompanied mum till late night. Vin and aunty brough dinner over. Pa stayed overnoght with ma in hospital and we went home at around 11pm. Things went on well, and she managed to come home the other day evening. The therapy has postponed to another week on 09.09.09. Hopefully, by that time, she able to recover better and is fits for the therapy...
