Quality of Life 生活質素

17/12/2015 is a very important date for me as it is the first day to know I had Lymphoma.  Just two more months later, I would be 7th Anniversary.  It would be happy to know that I am bathed in love of Jesus and my family and friends of these years. 

My situation now is good. With a different living environment, lifestyle, weather and people, I find the life could be in better quality. It is not merely the food, but the way of living. I am lucky at this moment that I do not need to worry about living. 

However, while knowing the life of the younger generation, it is not that easy. They strike for survival is not that easy. The job market here is not the same as the one in Hong Kong where the people like me need the time to adapt and follow. Maybe the pace of Hong Kong is far too fast and efficient which make a big difference to us. But because of the 'slow' action which allows us to have a relax pace and to built a better quality of life. 

2015年１２月１７日， 一個重要的日子， 因為當天跟淋巴癌相遇的日子。 仲有兩個月， 就識咗７年。 好感恩既係我有天父、家人及朋友既關愛。

我現在身體情況還好， 係新環境仍適應中， 唔同既步伐、人物、天氣同生活習慣都比我知道原來生活可以係活得更有質素。

香港急急腳、快快手， 對比呢度就見得好慢， 但原來呢人個慢， 係可以令生活更加高質同埋更有意思。

Status update 現況更新

I am still good today. I tried a new recipe since August 30, 2022 which I do not eat any carbohydrate products. But I eat a lot of vegetables. In the past may I be I eat 40% meat, 25% carbohydrate products and 25% vegetables. Now, it would be 40-50% meat, 50%-60% vegetables. Just four days, I  have 2.2 kg less. So happy. 

 更新下先。

３０／８開始戒飯，所有碳水化合物都唔食。 每５日休息２日， 今天上磅， 少咗２ＫＧ。 超開心。

A careless fall 做咗大冬瓜

沖涼唔記得拎毛巾好平常, 但拎完係廁所"冼"咗落地下, 好彩老公聽到"呯"一聲, 就去廁所搵我, 扶我起身。個一刻只感到右邊大腿好痛, 尾龍骨有忍忍痛。

第二日起身,都要拐拐下, 上落樓梯都要扶手。

第三日就好多了, 今日都行得好好, 不過知道要多休息,以免再過勞。

 Forget to bring the towel to shower is a common incident. But for me, I am really careless that I have a big fell on the ground. It is lucky that my husband rushed to toilet after hearing a big noise. My husband helped me to stand up. I feel pain of my right thigh and a bit uncomfortable at my back.

On the second day, I need to use the stair handrail for going up and down the stairs. 

On the third day, it is really good. But I will keep to remind myself not walking too much. 

友情互勉 mutual support

 係呢段期間, 都有不少朋友問有關癌症治療或者期間既情況, 他們有些是自己有事,有些是他們家人, 好慶幸同感恩, 他們各位都是癌症勝利者. 

 因為我由開始至今, 都沒有輕咗或者瘦咗 (老實, 有少少失望, 因由細到大都從未瘦過) 我有問過醫生, 佢地話我夠陽光, 夠正面, 同肯食野, 不過我係聽馬醫生話要食好瞓好. 

其實我有事那些年月, 都是朋友、家人、學生既慰問同關心, 尤其有些失落日子, 報告差, 效果唔理想,等待醫院回覆, 前路茫茫時,那些有野講唔出, 又要唔想家人再擔心,一個窩心問候, 一張咭或者一個訊息都會為你差電

你身邊如果有朋友正面對癌症, 請久唔久發一個訊息鼓勵下,支持下.

I have received calls from friend asking about cancer and the treatment. They may need help for themselves or their relative & friends. I am willing to offer help as I think this is my task for the second life from God.  And blessed they are all still good and healthy. ✌

 I am still healthy and still "Fat" after the cancer and it would be relatively strange as most cancer survivors are slimmer after. I asked my doctor about this and he said it is because my positive altitude and I am willing to eat. 😋

So during the time of suffering, there are so many friends sending me books and articles about how to eat. I did read it but I do think that if the books really help all the people from cancer.  I prefer Dr. Ma's comment. Eat what you want and what you need. Two main duties for cancer patient are : enough sleep and eat well. This principal made me strong and healthy until today. 

 Psychologically speaking, my family, friends, colleagues, ex-students were doing excellent jobs while I was suffering.  Sometimes, while getting sad reports, waiting hospital replies, unsatisfactory results really stressed me up. But their messages, cards or small gifts will recharge me spiritually. 

So, if you have any friends who are suffering now, please do send them a message or even an emoji. That means much to them, I can tell.

今日先識覆回應,十分抱歉, 學極都唔識. 希望仲有人會睇我個BLOG, 睇完有一分鐘正能量, 大家未必有機會見到, 但有緣係呢度交流下都好呀.

事隔多年, 感恩天父, 我仍活著 Thanks God still let me still living today.

 六年半了,好開心我今天仍活著. 回想當時既憂慮、治療、痛苦、喜與樂，都好慶幸自己已渡過了。

今天, 仍帶著糖尿、脂肪肝、同剩餘的癌細胞，每天晚上感謝天父比我安然渡過, 每天早上都是醒來。

不知道仲有冇機會再遇見幫過我既醫療人員、朋友、學生、同事, 遇到的病友, 但願大家都能身體健康, 開開心心過活。

 

 Counting the days since my Lymphoma, it is already 6 and a half year.  When I saw the photos, records and the reports, I remember all the scenes, the treatment, the suffering, happiness and sadness. Thanks God's mercy and I am still alive now. 

 Today, I am still living with my friends ~ diabetes, fatty liver, the rest of cancer cells.  I will thank God for giving me a good day every night and wake up healthy every day. 

I don't know whether I can meet those medical staff who helped me, friends, ex-students, colleagues, my cancer friends again. But I hope everyone is healthy and happy ever forever.
