Happy Dragon Boat Festival, Everyone — An Update on This ID's Current Condition

2008/6/7 8:56:27

Actually, the day this ID resumed posting was also the day I re-entered the hospital. This time I switched to a different one — didn't go to a local hospital, but of course it's the best one. On this front, this ID would never shortchange myself.

Right now I'm not in the oncology ward. I'm just in a recuperation unit, getting small injections daily, taking some light medication, shooting the breeze, and going out for a big meal from time to time. All in all, doing okay.

Currently the tumor has shrunk by probably over 80%, though not completely gone. Weight and energy are recovering quickly — not much different from a normal person. However, the musculoskeletal system hasn't returned to its former level. As they say, flesh grows first, then sinews — this can't be rushed.

There are plans for a second round of chemotherapy to completely eliminate it. The hospital has also conducted a consultation and hopes to begin further chemotherapy next week. Basically the same drug combination as last time, except one is switched to an oral medication. Specifically, only the first three days require hydration therapy and such, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

However, this ID is hesitating. Because the tumors on my body are still continuing to shrink on their own. And a thousand thanks to everyone for your blessings during this time. Probably your sincerity moved heaven and earth, granting this ID such fortunate karma. In this half month, two miraculous encounters — the latter just in these past few days. But the specifics, this ID does not wish to share today, because the effect of this miraculous encounter is too strikingly obvious. However, the final complete result has not yet materialized, so I temporarily do not want any blabbering here to invite bad luck.

As for this ID's articles during this period, they were all written in a state of calm. Writing is writing — you can be completely calm and yet produce an article with exaggerated emotion. That's a matter of writing ability. If someone's mental state while writing matches the intensity of the article, that's a low level.

Alright, on this Dragon Boat Festival occasion, once again thank you all for your blessings along the way. For your sakes, this ID will make sure to cure this illness completely and thoroughly.
