Endoscopy and CT Scan, Specialist Leader by Prof. Siew Baw(From
Myanmar)Dr.Faizul,Dr.Khaznizal and Dr.Lim was removed half of
my stomach and half of my esophagus. My major operation at
Hospital University Science Malaysia at Kubang Kerian,Kota

After one week, I make gastoroscopy to see whether my stomach is
leaking or not.

After two week at hospital, I’m discharge but cannot go to

Mecca although I was selected to go there. To healing fast, I’m take
“ikan haruan” and eel. I’m went to school as a teacher but just
teaching, not do a heavy job. At January 2007, I was refered to
Oncology Clinic but unfortunately doctor said my chemoteraphy
treatment is too expansive, around RM70,000.00. Doctor don’t take
any action to help me for get chemoteraphy.

At Mei 2007, blood come out from my nose and mouth. It’s too
much and I admit to ward for 2 week. Maybe allergic for eating
watermelon. During in ward, I’m once more time refer to Oncology
Clinic. Luckily Dr.Wan Yus Hanif give me a way to pay monthly for
my oral chemoteraphy although it cost RM8380.00 permonth. Every
month I must bank-in my money to Diethelm Malaysia Sendirian
Berhad start on May 2007.

After several CT Scan, cancer cell was spread to my liver, so

Prof.Dr.Biswa Mohan Biswal, Oncologist and Radioterphist up oral
chemoteraphy dose to 600 mg from 400mg, so cost increase to
RM12880.00 permonth. I’m very worried to find money for bought
my medicine because my claim from government, always late.
Luckily, Dr.Wan Yus refer me to Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab
11, Kota Bharu and Mr.Othman Md.Zin help me to get medicine
free because I’m government service. So begin on Januari 2008 until
December 2009, I’m no more worried about money.

Unfortunately, when medicine dose was increase, I’m so tired

and can’t go to school as teacher. My stomach always pain and when
it happen, I admit to ward. During 2008 and 2009, ward is my
second house. I’m always vomiting and it take 2 hours until finish
vomiting. When I’m remember it, I’m always cry lonely.

Mei 2008, Prof.Biswal send me to Hospital Besar Pulau Pinang

for PET Scan. The result is the cancer cell was spread to liver for 7
cm. I’m cannot go to school any more because I’m so tired. When
I’m went to Hospital for appointment, I’m used a wheel chair.

At Januari 2009, I’m once more admit ward because of stomach

pain. I’m was refer to Pain Clinic and doctor prescribe morfin,patch
and oxycontin to me for relief pain. At April, I’m admit ward again
for stomach ache and doctor don’t give me take food for 20 days.
I’m depend on water through drip and milk(TPM).For insert TPM,
doctor insert tiub to my chest How sorrow I’m, only Allah know it.

Mei 2009, absess come out from my stomach and when I’m told
Prof.Biswal, he send me to make biopsy and let me went home.
Unfurtunotely, my absess become more bigger and I was admit 3
Selatan Ward. Doctor give me for relief pain until it broken during
fasting month. I’m discharge but admit again because stomach ache
attack again. During 2 Intan Ward, doctor dressing my absess, oh!!!
How pain I’m!! I still remember, that day is Aidilfitri day
1430H(2009). Everyday Dr. Fatin was dressing me and everyday I’m
hold bed when doctor dressing me. My tears come out to hold pain.
My heart was broken when see my wife,my parents,son and my
sibling celebrate Raya Day at Hospital. At sixth raya day, I’m
discharge ward and return home.

After discharge, I become more better and make Qurban at Eidul

Adha. At December, Bachok Clinic Medical Officer introduce me
Susu Lebah(Royal Jelly) and when I’m take it, I become more
energy.

I’m make one more procedure that is Fistulagram. A small tiub

insert to my absess to where the origin of my absess. From x-ray,
absess come from bowel.

Fistulagram Procedure

At January 2010, I’m start take new oral chemoteraphy that is

Suttent(Sunitinib), before this I’m take glivec(Imanitinib). The cost
of Sutent is RM17650.00 permonth. I have no choice, I must pay it
until government approve my claim. Luckily for second month and
third month, Sutent Assintant Program Foundation help me for get
a free medicine.

The side effect of Sutent is too extreme, it’s attack my foot until I
can’t walk, severe pain at my absess, mouth ulcer and extreme tired.
Green pus was come out from absess, follow by yellow pus and
blood.

My Cancer Specialist, Prof.Biswa make a radioteraphy to my

absess for fast healing. It’s take 5 days.

Now, September was coming and I didn’t get medicine yet because
of government redtape. My claim at 2007 also didn’t getting yet, it
cost was RM34100.00. Maybe it’s my fate. Waiting is too tension.
My Allah give me strenghtend to fulfil my destiny.

To all cancer survivor, remember our God(Allah swt), Insya Allah

we can accept our fate and our destiny.
