For the past month since my third chemo, my tummy has been growling and growling and growling and growling. It sounded like I had a private symphony orchestra playing exclusively for me. There was so much acid, I was literally ‘foaming’ in the mouth – bubbles was forming in the mouth constantly. So when my nephew came visiting, I challenged him to a bubble spitting competition and of course I won!
When I described the condition to dr khoo, telling him that my tummy was unhappy, in his calm & reassuring manner, his exact reply was “简直就是造反了”. Then I realized my orchestra members are probably 小红卫兵playing a variation of <造反有理小夜曲>！
Then dr khoo decided to take away the steroid from the chemo. So for the past week, the tummy has been just growling and growling. I guess some of the orchestra members have decided to 下海become businessmen and I managed to convince the remaining members to play 胃胃不要怕instead.
So I am eating more these days, keeping my activity level low, reserving energy to go into round 5!

Hello bubbly girl, it's ok lah, at least your stomach is only growling, mine is just growing and growing. Recently had to wear this swimming costume thingy for Cheek, VERY embarassing. But luckily your blog a lot of aunties - BT, BC, BL, auntie Julius/Yvonne/SK etc etc - all have same problem lah. Although Auntie Julius told me last night he lost 2 kg, like real. Next thing you know he'll tell you he wants to grow a fringe. And Italian auntie from Marine Parade came to watch Cheek and said I looked fabulous - my favourite feedback so far. You take care hor. Much much love and hugs.
of course u look fabulous, even with a growing stomach i m sure it wil be a fabulous looking stomach!
life is like that, how i wish i am putting on weight.
oh i miss ALL my aunties!

Jean Claude, of course you look fabulous. I lie not. And Ms Low, i cannot understand what your doctor tell you because it's in Chinese! But it should be good right that you are eating more? You are all life-long pals, with auntie Julie and the B-sisters. So proud of all of us.
your true Italian Auntie from MP.
dajie, too bad you couldn't join us for supper last night, auntie ju said you sounded very tired, you must rest lei. You know, last night he did bollywood dance for a charity event! Danced very well but very vain, asked me to do same makeup as Cheek for him. Then everyone else had nice hairdo he also want. Hairstylist had no wig only got hair piece but hair piece also must pin onto something right? For him ah, must use super glue... Quickly get better, we go hang out! love love and hug hug.
