A special day 2008.2008

Today is a special day - 20.08.2008, double 2008. It only happened ONCE.

What had happened on this day? Nothing special, just a normal day for me.

My mum got discharged from UH. She was admitted to hospital on 13 Aug for observation on her on & off fever. She started to have this fever on 7 Aug. Doc gave her antibiotic (dripping type) twice a day, for 7 continues days. Finally the fever has cleared.

She also begin suffering from ascites. Large amounts of fluid accumulate in her abdomen, it will become large and causing her lose appetite and feel short of breath.

Doc decided to give her a new chemo drug - Taxotere, similar with Taxol. Considering her liver condition, doc gave her a much more lower dose which only contain 10 mg, where normally is 120mg. Doc will increase the dosage according to the result.

A week later will go back and have blood test to check on the result, hopefully will gets good result on the new drug.
