Hanging Out on the Plateau

Its been 6 months since I had this new installation in my body, and I was scheduled for the check to look for new revelation on the status of my well-being.

I have been feeling pretty well, not fabulous, but reasonably well. And so, with much enthusiasim, I went to receive the results from my heart doc a couple of days back. 

Have you had one of those days as a student when you were super confident that you will aced your exams, and then to receive one of those blah results. Well, its like deja vu for me.  It happened to me before, and it happened again, but this time round as a patient receiving my examination results more crucial than the PSLE, "Ö"and A Levels.  Its the results that will determine not only my future, but the possibility of ever having a future.

I was kind of expecting better than great kind of results, and then lo and behold, the results was really just .... (drum roll, please) blah!  Thats right, there was no improvement in the EF reading,  It was kind of a crushing moment, as i was hoping that the ICD would have improve my heart function.  Alas, the results were the same as that as I had before I had the surgery in January 2012. Yup, no change in EF reading...still at 29%.  Well, I am hoping to hang around on the plateau even if there is no upward climb. 

I am not sure whats my prognosis like. The heart doc will not give me a number.  Just as well, i guess. There's not much information I could googled about my condition.  If you know of any blog or medication publication that will provide an insight, let me know :)

On a happier note, I am officially a 9 year old cancer survivor!! yeah!!
