Day -1 BMT

Today seems not much change - still having nausea, vomiting and lost appetite. The effect of second type of chemotherapy had put me down and it really make me depressed. For the whole day, I lied on the bed and tried to close my eyes, and getting into sleep.  I'm hoping that everything will be over when I wake-up.

IV ATG (Anti-Thymoglobulin) infusion was started over period of 6-8 hours. It is used to prevent rejection after stem cell transplant. I was monitored closely for possible allergic reactions.

My sister Norianee just had finished her stem cell collection for today which took about 6 hours. No more nause or dizziness. Going to have another session tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the most important day for me. I will get new marrow stem cell (new life) from my sister.

Assalamualaikum wrh wbr,

Kak Nor my dear,
I could understand how you must have felt;hoping that time really flies;hoping that all of 'these' will eventually come to an end once you wake up.However,try reading this;hoping that you could gain some strength to move on and at the same time;pleading for The Almighty's blessings .(obtained this from someone very dear to us,your younger brother aka my husband).Translation is as follows :

Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it , and it maybe that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you.Allah knows,but you do not know - Al-Baqarah:216

Of course,things are easier said than done.However,try to hold on.We love and care for you both.That's all that really matters.

Assalamualaikum wrh wbr,
(Kakak)
Kakak,glad to hear the good news on both Ibu and Cik Ya.Ayah did mention that Ibu's nause and vomitting will go off in a few days.So,when are you and Cik Ya scheduled to come home?Any precise date?If both of you are still in SGH during this weekends,do inform me.My youngest sister (Cik Mai-the one that you met in JB) will be going to Singapore this weekends."Jalan-jalan",katanya.I have personally requested her to visit our family members in SGH.Hence,do confirm on the status,please.Thank you in advance.
Had a great experience while accompanying Cik Ya,right?Remember on the discussion we had while waiting for Cik Ya's registration at Admission Office?Finally make sense,right?Keep up with all those good activities.You'll gain more knowledge as I truly believe,rooms for improvement are always there.
Finally,do keep in touch.You're our ambassador in Singapore...Nik Nur Syaheerah Mohd. Ezane melaporkan dari bumi Singapura...canggih gitu.
(P/s:CK..?Calvin Klein..takpe..makan banyak2 kek.Kek lagi sedap dari The Secret Recipe...?Ha..yang ni Cik Hanan kena rasa..)

He is a.har's old friend when they were in MRSM Terengganu, right? I remember on that day..Dr.Suhairi ask me.."janggut Zaihar panje stagho mano loni?" haha...

(A.Har)...is it the janggut is your trademark during your school days?

(kak ya)...what are you doing right now? how about the catherer at your? will it be removed tomorrow?

(kak nor)...how are you know? I hope your body can accept the new blood that you will get from kak ya..i always pray that you will come back earlier than expected..
