Feeding The Mind

'Vibrant'

I received an email from a friend that I haven't met but have been in constant communication like we have known for ages asking about my health condition. Maybe she can't visit my blog, otherwise she would have noted that from my tone here, I'm pretty okay. So far God has given me the 'pink of health' as many would quote. Alhamdulillah.

Now I face this heaty body temperature as MH noted. First I noted this condition was last week during the gathering at Bapak's house when my aunty noted my hand felt hot like I'm having a fever. Then MH noted a few days later. It's not troublesome for me though. I still can bear all, insya'Allah. One thing good, I now drink more plain water than before and sweat even in my sleep. Maybe the tamoxifen pills have given some effect to my menstruation cycle and I'm currently facing the symptoms of menopause... like hot flushes and heatiness

Actually today I'm supposed to have the follow up check with the surgeon for the latest mammogram that I did some weeks ago. The nurse had called me late last Friday to tell me that the follow up check needs to be rescheduled to 17th June since the doctor will be away.

The nurse also informed me that she believed nothing worrisome was noted from the film otherwise the mammo nurse would have alerted the surgeon about it. From the nurse's word I gathered that the size of the detected lump doesn't increase so there is no need for any surgery, yet. And it may not look edgy or sharp like this (see the photo below - photo source from National Cancer Institute.Org)

So, I'm 'on' for this waiting game. For today's food for thought I include some phrases that I personally think worth pondering... maybe it's one of the ways for us to enrich our mind and hopefully some phrases will make us change our habit and thus enrich our soul.
