TGIF and Resting ...

Thirty-eight days till the end of RT.

The cancer and its treatment is taking a toll

--- on Mum. She is 75. She is up from 6am till midnight, doing the general house-cleaning, preparing meals and boiling drinks although her legs, her knees are not good. She goes back to Batu Pahat to check on Dad frequently, too. She is very tired. Please pray for her strength (physical, emotional and spiritual) and good health.

--- on SK and her weight. She has physical changes to cope with. There is dryness in the mouth and throat, ulcers are coming out, dryness of the "burnt" skin. She is tired, having headaches and nausea, for most part of the day.

Mum has lost her cooking skills over the years that she has not been cooking. Her meals are usually the same and rather bland, such that the food seems to have a funny taste. Knowing that it is important to maintain constant weight, eating seems such a frustrating task. Worse still, food looks unappetising and nauseating.

Before and when RT just started, SK put on 2 kg. But over the past few days, she is beginning to lose weight. Please pray for SK's good and strong health. She cannot afford to be weak, to get low immunity, to get sick. Please pray ...
