For those who had not been kept up with my cancer saga.
This is just to bring everyone up to date.
To my friends and relatives who have not been on Caroline’s mailing list where she had been sending out my health bulletin when I was in the hospital and nursing home.
I am now in my own home.
I did spend over a month, and it was quite an experience, since I had never been hospitalized before.
After my surgery on June 10th to remove my tumor a complication had developed. I started losing lot of blood to the point I was put into Intensive Care where I stayed for a week or so.
At the time I started losing blood, my blood pressure went down to 50, and it was still falling. I could see doctors and nurses frantically pumping blood into my veins and first time I felt I was so close to the state on annihilation which some people call “death.” But interestingly enough the brush with death didn’t seem to bother me a bit. I felt being in between two states “existence and non-existence.” I could go either way.
The closest way I can describe, it was a very profound experience, and I felt I was in a twilight zone.
Right now I am going through chemo therapy. My second therapy was on August 25. So far, I haven’t encountered any serious adverse reaction, other than general weakness that lasts only a few days after the therapy. My next therapy will be on September 15.
And thank you everybody who expressed so much concern and wished me good health and quick recovery. Keep sending positive thoughts. Good thoughts have power of healing.
