    Inpatient again for second cycle of chemo.

    Hospital will be my home again maybe for a month but not complaining....happy to be back and be completely healed! I can't wait to walk and run like a normal person again. And i can't wait to share my story to everyone in the Right Time. I am a living testament of God's miracle and that there's still goodness in people nowadays. Thank you to all who helped me especially here in New Zealand. I am honoured and deeply humbled.

      Hi Yakeza

      Thank you for sharing on how your treatment is going as well as your faith-am so pleased to hear how you are doing . Cancer treatment I know is not easy (my sister was diagnosed with it a year or so ago and had chemo) and don't know about you but trials also can question ones belief-the blessing is it's building up . That is one of the beautiful messages of Psalms - David who as we know was called God's friend- went up and down yet but always came back. Blessing and prayers to you and your family who I am sure have also felt your journey

      Christian Love to you - Robert

      Hi Yakeza - just a note hoping and praying things are going well for you - and consider yourself getting a internet hug . Saw from a earlier comment you liked hugs . This site doesn't seem to allow for the upload of any graphics , saw some good hug ones but just need to leave it is as . Just remember you are special Psalm 139 13:18 God Bless and Christian Love (and another hug) Robert PS Is you name from Japanese descent ? I work with a lady who is from the Philippines who thought it would be.

    For those who have asked for my health update. Here it goes.

    I can say that "after chemo cycle" is like a whirlwhind romance. ?????? my body's love hate relationship with chemo.i felt recharged and full of energy one day and then the next day i suddenly have shortness of breath and felt yucky. Even talking is exhausting. And so they have transfused a bag of blood, my first time ever last january 4th. After that, i felt newly revived. So I went down to cafeteria to have coffee with nurses. Bless the nurses! I even went out to see and feel the sea. Thank you to my hometown friends carlo boque and odessa for driving me around.

    Thank you to all kind hearted filipino friends who made an effort to give me home cooked meals, giving me presents and praying over me. Thank you to my colleagues for visiting me and giving me a big hug. I love hugs!

    When your sick and stuck in hospital bed, that's when you realized how u missed simple things like strolling in the garden, walking by the beach, breathing in sea air and how i missed sleeping in my own bed.

    I'd said these things coz last 2 days was just tough. Let me borrow the term, i felt "rubbish" ????????. Doctors did warned me, it is expected. I had difficulty sleeping, pettechiae all over my legs, bruised arms, terrible headache, pain and i spiked a fever! So i have underwent "fever protocol" I had received again a bag of blood plus platelet and started on IV Antibiotic. Amazing what a bag of blood can do! I felt better but still i tire easily. So i apologized to those who visits if my battery level is charged low. My body just loves to sleep and i cant control it. ?????? but even so, i deeply appreciate the visits and i feel embarrased using this pic to post but somebody has asked for an update. I am very thankful and truly humbled by your generous donations below and it is such a big big help! Thank you! Bless your hearts!

    By the way, i am transferred in Bed 40, Annex, Ward 5 North still Wellington Hospital.

    It is more quiet and i can have undisturbed sleep. I have a glimpse of Mount Victoria by my bed. And all i can think everyday is how much i would love to go over mount victoria and enjoy the view atop, once again, when i get well. Cheers!
