Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

I just returned from my 3rd chemo in KL. Feeling well except for slight nausea and malaise. With medicine, able to eat a whole bowl of chicken porridge at lunch. The photo showed a clump of hair lost in one day 2 weeks after the first chemo. Since then hair continues to drop but at slower rate. At least save money from hairdressing. Next photo, wearing Sherlock Holmes cap.

Hair today, Gone tomorrow: Comments

It’s got rhythm. It’s got meter, It’s got music, and it’s got meaning. What more can you ask? Now that you’ve lost your bushel, all these talents are revealed. Watch out world! Keep it up. Yeo Guan Teik, Sydney

You are the loving proof that you cannot get a food guy down. Did you have ondansetron for the nausea? Hair loss is a sure sign the chemo is working. You are an amazing poet. It is not easy to string out words like you have done.  Keep them coming for they are inspirational. Tan Poh Hwa

It looks more like Marshal Lin Piao! Doc, if Liok Ee, who was the poetry star of our Sixth Form, says your poems are good then you can rest assured that them pomes are fair dinkum, as Hon Tat may say!Your fighting spirit is indeed amazing and an inspiration to all of us. Keep it up, SK! Sulaiman Abdullah

really salute your spirit!!  you look great in the sherlock holmes cap!  perhaps you should adopt this as a more permanent part of your manner of dress. it really suits you. keep the poems flowing -- they're really quite good. 

warmest regards.  Ha ha I don't remember writing that essay. t's good to see you looking so well and jaunty with the cap! Never too late to find things that make us look good! :) liok ee and yew fai

You look great in your new cap….very Frenchi! The first pic……looks like a bird’s nest! Keep getting better. JCRao

SK,that does not destroy you will make you stronger ,even the poetress Liok Ee elevated you poems. What can we peasants say. Stalin was referred to as a Ghenghis Khan with a telephone, you are equipped with a smart phone.stay alive SK , we need you. Goh Heng Thean

I liked your poem very much... i can relate to that poem.  Sakinah Ismail (sister of Fateh Mohammed)

Glad you are responding well to the chemo.  Tang Kok Pong

Happy to see your sense of humor as you progress with your treatment. You look very

well in the photo and also your bunch of hair! You are also becoming a poet- well done. Chew Hon Nam

In your leisure you are able to contribute by scanning the Internet and getting news of 

GMC/JJ. The fund raising dinner organized by Dr. Wadia and others was in 2009. If we contact him , I do not think we should mention about the funds we are raising? The funds are all not in yet and non GMCites have also contributed.Maybe I can ask generally about him and the funds they were raising in 2009 and their progress.I can then get back to you. Thomas Varughese

Ya, you will save shampoo too. Didn't know one can get so creative during chemo treatment!!
Take care. Lena Bok

I am glad to note the joy in your heart after this 3rd chemo session. Praise and thank the Lord for again for granting you the strength to overcome the adverse effects of the therapy.

Thanks for informing me. I nearly cried to hear about your medical condition. Pray for your recovery. Dr Lekhraj Rampal

In my prayers for you, I'd prayed 'Lord, it's ok about his hair, but please let him be able to eat and drink.'... so no covering there! Again as I prayed for yr 3rd round, the words that were impressed upon me were 'he will not be harmed' I'd prayed that the drugs would kill the cancer cells... The Lord is watching over you. Maria Rode

Dear sk, i like yr sense of humour. Ding Poi Kooi

God is doing something mighty in your life, I'm sure. And surely goodness n mercy shall follow you all the days of your long long life. Bless you my dear. Lynnette Tan
