Abt Ma

I realised tat I nv did mention abt Ma's illness in my blog before. Ma was diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer in Jul last yr. Unless she goes for operation , else by doing chemotherapy would not cure it. As Ma refuse to go for operation n we were afraid tat due to her advance age, she won't be able to take it, we proceed with a series of chemotherapy. After 3 cycles n no improvement, we decided to give radiography a go. Tat was in dec 2011. I was quite hopeful tat radiography should do the trick. Though it won't cure mama but it would at least make the tumour smaller. After her 16 days of radiography, we went on a short malacca trip which she enjoyed alot :)

Her cancer take a turn for the worst just before CNY. She was hospitalised on 20 jan n stayed in the hospital for 3 weeks. We brought her out during the weekends n weekday night we will take turns to visit her n push her to the tv room to watch tv. We were lucky that Ma didn't feel any pain from cancer all along. The only discomfort tat she had was swelling of her legs n arms due to water retention.

She was discharged in early feb n dr said that things ain't looking good n he predicted less than 3 mths left. Devastated but we still need to prepare ourselves. I went ahead n employed a helper to look after Ma. Ma couldn't eat n whenever she eats, she will vomit all out. Slightly more than a week after she was discharged, we got to admit her again n this time round, she didn't make it thru...was admitted on fri n she passed away on tue morning...

Ma was a strong fighter. She didn't complain much other than the exceptional complains on legs bring stiff.

Ma we loves u lots n missing you.
