How the cyst really looks like


In short, as soon as i've gotten discharge and finally left NUH.. the journey back home was exceptionally good....

Lilsis had stayed over the night before, and to accompany her was a laptop and loads of DVD that was supposedly meant for me during my stay (but the pills make me nausea most of the time hence my loss, her privilege) The nurse warn us about her forbidden stay so poor lilsis woke up next morning as early as 6am (before i could wake up) and she walked around the hospital till the start of visiting hours.. my kudos to her patience. (i couldnt do the same)
Anyway, Lilsis took 2 weeks off her work to keep me accompanied during my stay at home.. we mostly eat.. and eat.. and sleep and eat more... my weight (like you saw above) was 45kg the moment i was home (due to the liquid diet) and mum's strict NOs list of food.


one of my all-time favourite porridge- ABC porridge (because Mum dont have a proper name for it)
Ingredient contains Spinach, Tomato, Fish. Mum use to feed all her kids this when we were as young as toddler... this is my comfort food when i fall sick or when i need to nurse someone close.

 Black pepper macaroni... another of Mum's creation when i complain the food was blunt and i am losing appetite. She stir fried the macaroni with Vegetarian black pepper, prefereably the ONLY black sauce she allows me to eat during this period.


Lilsis got too bored and painted my nails with images of Bunnies+carrot and all things cute.. dont you find them lovely?



A picture of Timmy (yes.. this is the new Timmy now.. ) and me... The design on the nails were inspired from Timmy =)
i am encourage to wear a band around my stomach to prevent big movement from hurting the organs inside. There is sudden loose space in the stomach and the band will helps tighten and secure all the internal organs, keeping them in place.
So prior to valentine's day, bbbb and i had no choice but to celebrate the day at my place. With quarantine orders from everyone, i was unable to grab him a good gift and thus, i've decided to him a sushi bento in the shape of his best toy- PS3 controller....



 Sounds interesting and cool... until i screw it up... like this -->
bbbbbbbb could not figure what this was.. .and i got slightly affected, blame my bad handicraft....

Anyhow, the taste was fabulous and i cannot wait to eat the same salmon-onigiri again given the chance.

except this time.. hahaha.... no more controller.. phew!~
Checl out the rich fillings! i had pan fried some salmon and stir them into the rice before wrapping them up...

I hope bbbb didnt find the Valentine day too lousy... promise i'll make it up to him next year...
Me in my PJ eating breakfast.... i only wear loose clothing during the recuperation because the wound were still fresh and i do not want any fabric sticking onto to it...

Breakfast is wholemeal bread with Nutella... Me loves!

Oh and an bonus picture of Boy (the chihuahua) starely at me too cutely hopping to eat some bread... Do not feed dogs with human food if it contains sugar/salt/artificial flavoring.. 

 My boyfriend isnt someone who is good with words. He admit that himself... Thus.. when it comes to expressing himself, he can hardly make it right and many times, i end up misunderstanding him.

This time, per his claim, he found an card that read exactly what he has to say... and so... it touches me so much... i love darby



And with all the other far-too-random stuff i've done to keep myself busy.. i've finalyl recovered in good condition to head back to work.

I cannot thank everyone;s encouragement enough. There were certainly dilemma during knowing the news of the cyst--> Cystectomy --> recovery.. But i guess i made the correct choice of sharing the news on facebook because otherwise i would not have the courage to get the op going.

Believe it or not, i re-read each and every consolation over and over again prior to the op. Had i felt like i wasnt alone? Definitely!.. and i am thankful i;ve walk through this journey till now.


i have not yet share the result of the cyst.. and before i can do so i just wanna tell anyone who is worried abt me that --> i can do it.. i am strong. Thank you for showing your concern yet again... and sorry i had to disappoint you with the bad news.. yes.. the cyst isnt just any normal cyst.

In short, i am glad for now, that the cyst has been remove... and what's in line in my future now behold great commitment into treatment after treatment. People often saw on TV how cancer becomes such a serious matter.. but they are actually different stages of them...


Many woman as young as my age are suffering from minor changes in cancer... (Stage 1a)... and i am one of the "lucky" ones... but friends, things aint going to end just yet.... like it or not.. i am surviving this challenge #likeaboss

This is the Cyst inside my stomach.. .and that finger you see belong to my surgeon... the cyst measures 30cm and weights about 4litre... This is the "thing" ive carried with me for 8years,heavier than most newborn babies.. .somewhat equivalent to twin..

this is the TIMMY i talk about.... over and over again.. and there goes Timmy..


.
.

.
.
i need to clarify.... i am cancer-free AT THE MOMENT (so please dont feel upset).... all i need now is to cross my fingers and pray every 6 months that there are no reoccurence of the cyst. The doctor found mucinous cells inside the cyst and this are USUALLY found in cancer patients.. Therefore for now i am categorise as a Stage 1a cancer patient...

but i think God is fair, and that i have never been too nasty a person to deserve too worst a ending.
.
.
.
.
i will/must be well to lead the rest of the life i have.. living a blissful life and appreciating each and every of my friends and loved ones.. i wont go too soon, i need to be around..

i'm getting emotional... signing off.
