Up date!

Hi,

The ENT (ear-nose-throat) doctor said my MRI is clean and there are no signs of recurrence... The pain in my ear is caused by the scar tissues in my throat. I would probably feel better in few weeks, months, years. I just have to be patient during my recovery.

I felt loved, protected, supported, appreciated... after my email asking for prayers. I'm so blessed to have you all around me during this time.

Blessings.
Love,
Aisha.


Stay blessed and thank you all for your love and prayers...

Recovery week 7: Thank you!

Thanks to all for the love and support. I'm blessed with friends and family members like you. I received thousand prayers and words of encouragement.

Thanks you so so much!

I learned that When you stop worrying about things you can't control, you become a better and happier person. My mind is at a peaceful place.

My pain is under control now, sometimes I need the painkillers sometimes I don't. I had a MRI on Friday as scheduled and on Wednesday I will see ENT Dr Sinha for the result, hoping for a better news.

I will let you know.


Stay blessed and thank you all for your love and prayers...

Recovery week 6: Need prayers

Hello friend.

I hope you are all fine.

I was doing great, improving in my recovery. But since last week, I have a headache and a pain in my right ear. Drs are confused with those symptoms. They think about a recurrence of the tumor in my throat plus I have been having a hard time swallowing lately. Of course they just want to be safe they are not sure, the pain might also be caused by the scar tissue in my throat pressuring all muscles around it. It's hard to tell. A look of my Throat by the ENT today didn't show any changes but he thinks it's better to do a scan.

I will have a MRI tomorrow morning ( Friday, Sept 14,2012) and an endoscopy scheduled for 09.28.2012.In case of recurrence I'll go back to treatment immediately. Let's hope it's not the case here.

I didn't sleep for the past few days thinking about a brain tumor. I have a very bad ache. But the ENT Dr this morning don't think there is something in my brain. Yes! It hurts a lot specially at night, but he is sure it's all related to my ear, which is related to my throat. I got more pain killers and antibiotics in case of infection in my ear so I hope for a better sleep tonight.

I've tried my best not to be sick in my mind throughout my treatment. But the recovery it's so stressful. There is something new everyday. Sometimes I feel like I'm giving up. I've never been so tired in my life before. But I still have my faith and I know God loves me. I hope to hang onto it.

I think it's been a long time since January 2012. Anyone in my position would show signs of tiredness by now. I need you. Please help me here, have me in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks.

Love,
Aisha

Recovery week 5

Another week ...

I don't remember much of this week. I have been very busy with my family. Thank God for that.

I met Dr Salem on Friday and she thinks the pain in my right ear is related to the scar tissues in my throat.  She advices to use hot and cold patches around the neck. Let's see what comes out of it.

The pain in my throat is basically at the same level. I use pain killer and I'm able to eat liquid food. Because it takes me an hour to eat, I use my feeding tube for breakfast and lunch then I eat by mouth for dinner when I have more time.

I still have my spittoon every where ...

The scar from the burn on my neck is almost gone. People barely notice it.

My mood is great and that's what matters the most I think.

Stay blessed and thank you all for your love and prayers...
