Medical Appointment (24th June)

Had my appt with Haematologies. The bone marrow test shows i'm in cytogenetic remission, which is 2nd stage. There is a total of 3 stages. last one is molecular remission. So i'm on my way to recovery. Doc is very happy with my current condition and he mentioned i am the first one taking dasatinib that move to stage 2 in 3 months.

My HB is 12.9 and therefore i don't have to take iron pills anymore. So happy.:)
My next appt will be on Sept where i'll be going for my bone marrow test. Good Luck to me.

Gynae appointment on 17 Jul

Had my appointment with Gynae in the morning. I finally decide to go for mirena because iit reduced menses effectively. Suprising, the cost is not so ex, only $200+. Gynae say there will be bleeding or spotting a least for 6-12 weeks. But it is ok, i'm thinking in long term i could save cost in pads and no more tired nites during heavy days for the next 5 yrs

Medical Appointment (16th June)

This day i went for my heart echo test and bone marrow test. I was told my heart was slightly bigger. This worries me. The bone marrow test was a bit painful. But still bearable.

I also meet my haematologist. Blood is normal. Will be seeing him again in 6 weeks.

Medical Appointment

Today is my bi-weekly appt with the haematologist. As usual, all the blood count is low. But what worry me most is my HB. In 2 weeks, it had gone down from 10+ to 8+. I was really worried because it was cause by my super heavy menses, 1 week ago. I'll return to see him in 4 weeks time.

I'll be seeing my Gynae tomorrow. Hope he can prescrible some medicine for me or else i worry i'll bleed to death in the next cycle. Cross my fingers

Medical Appointment

I"m progressing well with the medication. Today my Hb, WBC and Platelet's result is still low but doctor says it is still in acceptable range. Menses comes yesterday and i'm worry it will get too heavy. Doctor had not contacted my Gynae yet and he want to monitor my mense for one more time. Appointment will be schdeule in 2 weeks time

My current state

My appetite is getting huge nowadays. It is one of the side effects. Oh, i don't want to be a fattie again. I'm very satsfied with my current built. Now i'm very cautious about my food selection. I try to stay away from fried, BBQ, seafood.

Another thing is my constipation is getting worse. Now with taking 2 iron pills. it just make things worst. Everyday, i got to take lots of fruit and fybogel

Medical Appointment

Today i went for my followup. Done 3 blood test in 0,30mins,2hr interval. Nurse had to put a catheter into my vein because my veins was very fine and difficult to find. The blood test results all low. Doctor say still within the acceptable range and i could still continue the medicine.

Today i return my medicine bottle to my co-ordinator and there is still 2 pills leftover. My other patient friend who is doing the same trial as me return her a empty bottle. 3 of us were puzzled how come we returned different ones. The coordinator will check and revert back to us.

Next appointment is 2 weeks later
