Savour The Moment

You might be wondering on one hand, I have been crying in pain not so long ago and now I talk about making some traveling plans. Perhaps the frequent changing nature of my condition serves as a reminder that I better make good use of the time that has been given to me.

I can safely say every cancer patients suffers from pain and the degree of pain is reflected in their stage of the cancer. Further when you are a stage 4 cancer patient, many things becomes uncertain. For me, I do not know how much time I have left. At the moment, I do feel I still have certain mileage left and hence would like to take this opportunity to travel. However, I am also been told to rest more often and when I do travel I will be on an unapproved diet further complicating or worsening my condition. But that's the equation I have to balance. Do you wait for recovery and then travel? That day may never come. On the other hand, if I do travel will I risk my condition? I really do not have the answers. However, what I do know is that at this moment, that's what I want to do.

Today, I woke up to a sunny sky. Again I overslept but I did have a good rest. I feel good and it's been a long time I had this feeling.

  3. Chang,

    So u r a Sentul naughty boy, yeah, as u managed yr early education without putting much efforts, I am sure you could also win this battle now, perhaps travel is one of the god-sent strategy, but do reflect what the Mexico trip has provided as a learning curve.

    Family is always the most valuable assets one can possibly ever have,Cheers

  4. Follow the path of your own heart.

    I am very happy that you woke up feeling good and that you are making plans to enjoy your time. As you have probably learned, mental blockages play a big role in our illness. Maybe you have been feeling trapped and burdened by the intensive nature of your therapies. You have been dedicated for a long time, and maybe you need a break to sustain you. I encourage you to trust yourself.
