Schwannoma, MRI and 1kg!

Okay, this week  a few significant things had happened. Last Wednesday I met the Orthopedic Oncologist and he suspected me to have Schwannoma(kind of tumor of Schwann cell that is part of our nerve).. Hmmm that's quite worrying as I need to proceed with MRI and then surgery is a must to correct that condition.

And Alhamdulillah being a medical student I have the advantages to do the MRI faster than it should be. The appointment I got last 2 week is on 4th of June, but then after I met the specialist who is my teacher when I did my ortho rotation, he manage to get the MRI being done earlier, to be specific 3 month earlier. Again Alhamduilillah...

So, tomorrow is my MRI test. The hospital staff text me to come at 7am in the morning, with IV line readily set in my hand. Oh my... So I should go to the AnE department first, get the IV line set (for contrast injection) and get into the machine.

Regarding surgery, I request my 'teacher' to do it a.s.a.p so that I wont disturbed my final exam which is approaching. And he is willing to do that as soon as I get the MRI result as he said the Operation theater is quite free for now...

Oh.. this week I just lost 1 kg. huhuhu. This is due to no 'gymming' at all for this week. I dont know why. Mybe due to my ankle condition that has became worse. And I eat rice for few times.. huhu. However there's still changes and i can't give up. Hopefully the current diagnosis of my ankle condition and the upcoming operation would not stop my determination to finish my weight lost journey. Dear Allah, please strengthen my spirit and cure the illness.
