Day 2 Chemo 2. Fri. 08/11/2017 5:00PM
I woke up 4x last night with milder gastritis compared to my previous chemotherapy which knocked me down hard with hyperacidity, vomiting and nausea. Appetite wise, I could still sense the penchant for food but slightly inferior compared to the past 2 days. Nasal congestion was also bugging me, adding to the reduced appetite spell.
Despite the infirmity as a result of the chemotherapy, at least I sensed the vibrant peace around the house today. My son was very enthusiastic to wear his new blue P.E (Physical Education) uniform, I was able to finish few paperworks for the BIR(Bureau of Internal Revenue) that would lessen down the load of Ate Sinead in compiling my tax requirement submission. And I just felt so much delight having someone so responsible in helping me put order especially with the administrative and paperworks needed in the family and of my profession. Ate Sinead’s (my eldest niece) outreaching hands brought order for all of us, for me, for Zac, for her 2 sisters, for my mom, for her papa, mama and grandpa. Magnificent kid.

The day would never pass without being completed with prayers. And the favourite prayer I have especially with all my trials had always been the rosary. This time I prayed to God for good health of the entire family, for myself and for my mom, who had just been hospitalised yesterday for a mild stroke. Hopefully, with His divine mercy my mom and I will fully recover in His own good time while the rest of the family will continue to have good health. Having 2 people already sick in the household is not an easy thing. It’s actually too much to bear for one person, like my brother Alson who’s doing all the preparation of the meals, running errands, sending and fetching of my son from and to school. So far, he had never complained, much more that we got each other’s back. And for the same reason, we were able to get by each day despite all the adversities and dilemma.
