緩慢的復原中 recovering very slowly...

為期八個禮拜的療程終於結束了。但是過了快兩個禮拜之後，我還是花很多時間在床上休息。腸胃還是很差，精神也不是恢復的很快。後來想想，醫生是說出國沒問題，但是她從來沒說過恢復到從前的精神體力要多久。我以為... 嗯，我以為了很多事，現在發現可能自己是太樂觀了吧。不過至少小命是撿回來了。所以無論如何還是想趕快回台北跟親朋好友聚一聚。還好有先見之明，決定不帶女兒。照我現在的復原進度看來，下禮拜是沒可能帶得動女兒的。不曉得我們去台北兩個半禮拜她會不會想我們。我們是一定會想她的了~

it's been almost 2 wks since i finished the long 8-wk treatment. but i still find myself spending quite a lot of time in bed. my digestive system is still booboo, and i'm still feeling weak. as an afterthought, i remember the dr. saying no problem to my upcoming traveling, but she'd never said anything about how long it'd take for me to fully recover. i thought.. well, i thought a lot of things but perhaps i was too optimistic. but anyway, at least my life is saved. in any case, i just want to see my family and friends in taipei as soon as possible. good thing we had decided not to take evie with us. based on the speed of my recovery so far, there's no way i'll be able to take care of her on the trip next week. i wonder if she'll miss us during our 2.5-wk absence. we'll miss her for sure~

treatment week 7 - final week!

after 8 long weeks (lapsed time), finally, i'm done with my final week of treatment. this week went by relatively quickly because my bro was here.. and happy times always go by much quicker than not so happy times. I was feeling pretty well on tuesday and wendesday. but of course, after thursday's internal radiation treatment, i was all tired out again. however, because it was the last day of treatment, i've been in a pretty good mood since. all i can say is that i'm glad the treatment is over. what's left is for the radiation effects to sink in. i won't know if i'm cancer free until perhaps several months later. however, my next dr's appointment on 3/18 will probably give me a good idea how i'm doing. i just hope the treatment will have killed off all the cancer cells by then because i won't like surgery!!
