Dad's Battling with Cancer

It's quite awhile that we tried to use virus and even Hepatitis B to described Dad's situation but now like it or not we must admit that Dad's liver cancer has recurrence.

The chemo session has really consumed Dad's energy and the news is that there's a lesion near the blood vessel where surgery is not advisable. Therefore, right now, our hope is on the oral drug to control cancer growth.

Yesterday, Dad was discharged from hospital so that he could rest at home. However, today Dad is peeing blood and has jaundice therefore we have decided to admit him to hospital again tomorrow since today is a public holiday.

There are times I nearly break down seeing Dad's suffering. He has gone skinny for the past 2 weeks. Since he is on oral drug, we really hope the drug could help to control his cancer.

Dad's Admitting to Hospital

Last week, Dad went for his normal check up and as we have expected the doctors found 2 lesions in his liver this time. Doc has arranged a chemo session for him this Tuesday. At 63 and with the lesions, Dad is frequently exhausted and sleep nearly the whole day. This is quite worrying for us especially Dad will be down with fever at night and will go in the morning. We really hope that the chemo will not be too much for Dad.

Since last Thu, we try to feed Dad with lighter food since Dad has lose his appetite, therefore we try to prepare snacks in between so that the food is not too overwhelmed with food.

It has been a busy week for Mum and I, juggling with work, taking care of Dad and Zoe. We have to take turn to take leave next week to ensure Dad is well taken care of and there's someone to babysit Zoe.

Though it has been a tiring week for us, but it doesn't matter and what it matters is that Dad will have a smooth chemo and able to get on with his life.
