Okay, so Abah is out of the hospital but he will be back in there in a couple more weeks for his second session. He has four sessions to cover altogether with around three to four week intervals depending on how clean his blood is. The doctor has let him come home after this first session because he's still okay though he's not allowed to go to public places: shopping malls, pasar / pasar malam, etc. and where ever he goes, he has to wear a mask because the chemo is rendering his body defenseless. He tells my younger cousins "uncle Kadar kerja ninja" which I think is easier to explain than a disease.
It is estimated that the whole round of treatment will be over in October. I'll be graduating in October (InsyaAllah). I really hope Abah will be strong enough to see me get my scroll. You know, when you grow up with one sister as a doctor, one studying to be a pharmacist and the other aspiring to study in Ireland and become a surgeon, you don't really get that many opportunities to make your parents proud. I want to see both Mum and Abah be proud of me in October. People tell me my dad will make it because he's a fighter. Maybe they say that to make me feel better, but I think they say that because they know for a fact that he is a fighter. He has fought it off numerous times before. This time will not be any different. I'm sure of it. Maybe he is a ninja after all :)
i try, everyday. i hope you know.
