All good. Glory be to God!!

Went to the hospital Monday morning at 10am. Brought back loads of memories of the poking and prodding and lying still etc.

Anyways, got done and the results were out in 30 minutes. Went to see my oncologist and she said that the lymph nodes are back to its regular size.  She said; "Now that you've recovered you must exercise and eat well. Go hiking...."

I guess that means I'm good for now. The doctor is happy and so I only need to go back in 3 months to do a thyroid scan, chest X ray and abdominal ultrasound.  Have to also visit the ENT quarterly.

I'm still doing my weekly pilgrimage to Tung Shin to see the Chinese oncologist who prescribe me herbs which I have to faithfully take twice a day.

I did meet a fellow alumni at SDMC who was under the same treatment as me. We finished at the same time..he was actually earlier as I had an extra 5 irradiation treatment. However his taste buds have yet to return fully and his throat is still a little sore.  He was unable to enjoy the CNY because he still could not taste well.  So I am just thankful that I have received speedy recovery and that God has mercifully carried me through this trial.
That when I looked back I know it was you that carried me through...
My veins apparently shrink after chemo so smaller needle

Two tries. Big needle failed... so smaller needle on the wrist...ouch



Psalm 77
Your way was through the sea,
    your path through the great waters;
    yet your 
footprints were unseen.[c]
20 You led your people like a flock
    by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
