Few minutes before another brain surgery, me and my mother were sitting beside him. His eyes were a little teary. He was asking to complete the paperwork quickly after him as if he is thinking there isn’t much time left with him.
RT was done timely. Chemotherapy was being done for a week, then 3 weeks gap was given before next session. MRI scan was done after half of the total sessions were completed. MRI scan showed blood clotting in head and growth of tumor size. Surgery was scheduled in first week of Nov 2019.
The surgery was successful. But Doctor said the MRI report doesn’t look good as the tumor has grown and another surgery maybe required later. Every next surgery is more critical and has a lesser chance of being successful.
Multiple surgeries, two times radiotherapy and over 6 months of chemotherapy affected his personality and behaviour a lot. Doctors mentioned all this would change him slightly. But it wasn’t just a slight change. He gets irritated very quickly. Forgets small things every now and then.
No one thinks about having limited time in life. But having seen many patients in his ward with same disease, same treatment given and had already left the world, mind is always occupied with his health concerns and how to lengthen the remaining life. And this changed me.
This Changed Me
