My Shadow

Outspoken Nothingness

A Black Hole
Never-ending Turmoil, pulling and sucking everything in
So dark my world
No light, no ending, no rebound
No hope, no reverie
Simply Despair

Emptiness
The longing, the desire, My foolish yearns
Never fulfilled
Never a touch of a hand, or an understanding nod
Never felt a beating heart

So lonely, so lonesome, and completely alone
Dejection, Depression, Desperation
Misery, my only loyal Friend
So cold, so helpless
So lost - aimlessly wandering

My Bleeding Heart
My Hollow soul
My feelings so numb and dead

My life, simply a Black Hole
I’m falling, so quickly, on my way down,
Slowly fading away into sheer Nothingness
Knocking so hard on Death’s door
Shunned away by Life, not even Death is letting me in

I’m reaching out, I’m calling, I’m crying for Help
Only a touch of a hand
Only an understand nod
Only for a beating heart

We are STILL ok in London so far!!

Net Admin with Lymphoma

Salam all,
 
We are all ok after the 2nd attack.
Done with my 6th chemo yesterday. Shots starting Monday, but this time I’ll be alternating between different locations (arms, thighs, abdomen) for the injections, which hopefully will minimize the pain.
 
Anyway, the current plan is for me to take my 8th and last chemo on 30th of August, then I’ll be able to head back home on 31st August or 1/2 September depending on seat availability insha’Allah, as my wife starts work on 3/September (she’s a school teacher). The health office can’t keep patients abroad if they don’t have any appointments for 3 consecutive weeks anyway, so they send them back to Kuwait.
 
This means I’ll be able to help with the new building migration if it starts on 1/september as planned insha’Allah, yuppii! :)
 
Then, I’ll need to come back in 6-8weeks (hopefully 8 weeks, so that it is after Ramadan!) for a PET/CT scan to determine whether further chemo/radiation is necessary or not. If I were to do it in Kuwait, then since they don’t have the PET there yet, they’d go with radiation immediately given the large size of the tumor in my mediastum (cavity in middle of chest). However, with the new PET scan they can determine whether the remaining mass is active or inactive more accurately so I would avoid radiation if not necessary.
 
PET scans should become more mainstream as they are used more often and get cheaper. They show in color where active cells are, while the CT scans only show the size and location of the tumors without knowing whether they’re still alive or dead. I think the only way to know with CTs is to take a CT, then wait and take another one and see if the tumor got bigger or not!! Obviously, the extra waiting is not very good especially with the high-grade (fast)  lymphoma that I have.
 
Of course, my trip back in November will have to be approved by the Ahmadi hospital committee, but the health office here says they usually approve sponsorships when there’s already a follow-up appointment for the same treatment.
 
Salam,
Nasser.

We’re ok in London so far

Net Admin with Lymphoma

Salam.

We’re ok so far.

My wife and I had just moved to another hotel about 20 minutes by underground from Marble arch as the hotel we were in was fully booked on Wednesday night. My mom called us Thursday morning about the problem in Liverpool street. I saw on tv it was a Power Surge at the time.

 

My two aunts were still in Marble Arch, just a 10 minute walk from Edgware Road station but they’re ok.

 

Things were back to normal the very next day except for the closed stations. But bus services were running to compensate the closers.

 

Got another blood test this Tuesday. I was in terrible pain Wednesday night, not from the attacks :) but from the injection which I was taking in my thighs this time. The muscle-bone pain was unbareable for 2 nights and I couldn’t sleep well! Previously, I had the pain only in the back and arms as I used to take the shots in my arm in Kuwait as it was given to me by nurses. So, I decided to take the last shot in my Arm with the help of my wife instead of thighs and sure enough, the thighs pain was relieved the next day but he pain moved to the back and hip. It is still much better than the one in the thigh though. I guess cause there’s more muscle in the thigh are and the pain was more intense.

 

Anyway, feeling better this morning and had a good sleep finally last night as my last shot was yesterdy.

I still have to take these shots for about 5 days after each chemo. Next chemo not until the 21st, so I’ll have time to rest!

 

Salam,

Nasser.
