Updates for the past 3 months

For those who have asked how I've been the past three months — I'm good! Thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayer. 

Also, many have been asking whether there's any more cancer left... Honestly, the doctors haven't explicitly told me that they're gone, but based on the CT scan that I did in June, cell activity has went down (generally cancer cells are crazy active). However, there's still some scar tissue left, which may or may not go away at all. As long as there are no cancer cells and it's just mass left, it's a good sign that I'm on my way to becoming a lymphoma survivor.

However, my heart function hasn't improved the way the doctors had hoped for. My extra accessory pathway (my pre-existing condition) seemed to have hindered my heart's recovery. Also, more problems such as a premature heartbeat and a below than average LVEF have surfaced recently. The doctor gave me two options to consider — to go for a heart ablation (strongly advised), or to continue my medication to try to boost the recovery. 

I have taken the doctor's advice, and would be going ahead for the heart ablation. I don't want to be stuck playing the waiting game again (waiting a few months, going for a scan to check if the medication works...) I kinda have the feeling that I'll ultimately need to go for the ablation anyway. Might as well be now right- to get to the root of it and get rid of it once and for all. The procedure is scheduled to be on 10 September. It is pretty soon, and I think I'm rather prepared. I've done the ablation before, during the period between my first and second chemotherapy. I am less nervous because I know what's going to happen during the procedure, and I believe that this ablation will help my heart heal, and hopefully be strong again.

P.S. My hair has grown... ALOT. Waiting for my hairdresser to be back in Singapore (he's back in Malaysia for awhile) to give it a nice trim and it'll be ready for the world!
