Lose Some, Get Some

April 25th, 2008

You know what they say about always to thinking positively towards things and everything in life. I’ve watched Rhonda Byrne’s "The Secret" and browsing its website (haven’t start to read the book), and that the most of it. Gratitude and Positive Thinking. Before that I’ve been trying to see my illness from different side of angle…

These are -some of it- what I found….

1. I’m not losing hair that much.

It is also because I don’t have to get through chemotherapy like other cancer patient. My tumor grows from the nerves, and they’ve decided not to take chemo-treatment because it will affect me so much. Chemotherapy will drop your stamina into the lowest level and, of course, makes you lose your hair. I lose some of my hair, and it keeps thining but I don’t go bald. It can be pretty scary once you really find bunch of your hair laying on your head pillow (like I did), and everytime you comb your hair….

2. I get to travel around.

Okay, this might sound silly. But I do got chances to go to China for the 1st time because of my treatment. ALthough it was a grueling treatment, which I have to stayed in the hospital, but after that I got chances to go places for few days and my Mom and I met my grand-uncle (my Grandma’s brother–My Mom haven’t see him for almost 50 years!). Added to it, I also got chances to go to Penang, Malaysia for several times. Next destination (if this treatment’s not working): Japan! (of course I have to save money for that….)

3. I got new friends.

I got new extended family from over the world, the patient and family that were staying in the same hospital. :) They are making me stronger with their stories and life….

4. My Insomnia "cured".

Okay, not exactly "cured". It is because I have a bunch of medicine that can makes me fall asleep almost everytime during bright or night! …. Boozeddd and Doozeddd…….

5. I feel special.

For having this and many things happening in my life? Definitely!

6. ….

7. …

I will add more to it later… any idea?
