Salam korang. Writing this in the middle of night sambil merehatkan badan for a 1 week MC leave...ujian Tuhan datang dari pelbagai bentuk dan seriously aku tak sangka aku antara yang terpilih untuk melalu ujian menghidap ovarian cyst. I believe yang ovarian cyst can be quite common to woman tapi untuk aku yang jarang ada masalah period, takde menstrual cramp, period regular every month and period last on normal cycle memang tak pernah terfikir pun lah pasal penyakit nih
Semuanya bermula with abnormal period cylce from Nov - Dec last year and first i thought that the main caused was all about stress..yesss I was so stressed with office works and etc..easily get stressed! Sabar dulu untuk schedule for checkup tapi somewhere by end of December mula rasa unusual as being me yang sentiasa nak kepastian punca kepada setiap masalah dalam diri aku nih, aku arrange for an ad-hoc appointment to see gynae at Prince Court. First choice nak seek Dr Tan, my previous gynae yang handle my delivery and miscarriage tapi unfortunately his clinic was not available on that day, so next option is Dato Dr Abd Aziz Yahya..

Ternyata pilihan aku sangat tepat as he is specialist in gynaecology and his personality really make me feel comfortable walaupun sometime the way he speak to deliver the information is on "suspens" mode..haha.
Dr : Please explain about yourself
Me : (Cerita dari A until Z dari miscarriage, period irregular last Nov and etc)
Dr : OK. Sekarang meh kita buat scan untuk identify the caused if have
Me : ok sure
preparation for scan assisted by Dr's nurse
Dr : (after few minutes scan perut) now we can see the caused...you have a cyst at left ovary. hmmm the measurement at 3cm..look, if you dont have your period today, I will ask you to go back first and come back to see me later during your menses day because sometime cyst can dissappear during menses day
Me : Saya tengah period Dr, to be exact on Day 2
Dr : Ohh if that the case, then this is a problematic cyst. I do not know what's inside the cyst, it could be a water, accumulated blood, nanah, ketulan daging and etc. But looking at the shape of your cyst, probably it is most likely not a cancer. Cancer has a more sharp / rigid feature..but yeah we will only know if we do the operation to take it out
Me : (rasa nak berjurai air mata walaupun Dr cakap bukan cancer) Rasa remuk rendam hati and rasa macam dah takde hari esok huhuhu
Since that day aku jumpa Dato Dr Aziz alone secara appointment mengejut, Dato mintak aku datang with husband on next visit so that boleh discuss if nak proceed with surgery or just let it be inside, depend on my choice. Wife kalau nak buat decision kena ada suami ya!
Penantian kepada tarikh jumpa Dato seterusnya adalah sangat merengsakan dan ibarat sejuta tahun sebab ada banyak public holiday and Dato pun ada amik 1 week leave.
Suprisingly time menunggu next appointment date tu aku masih ada mood menghadiri majlis kahwin rakan sekolah di Johor dan shopping sakan jugak di JPO especially dekat Coach ;p
4th January 2019
Hari yang dinantikan telah tiba....penuh berdebar tunggu nak jumpa Dr
Dr : If you choose for a surgery, we will do a laparoscopy surgery and next available date is on 16th Jan @ 4pm, ok?
Me & Hubby : Setuju Dr, the earlier the better.
Dr : Ok meh kita scan perut awak sekali lagi. Mana la tau rezeki awak cyst tu mengecik, kita pun tak tau kan..kita doa sajalah yang cyst tu mengecut and it's your luck
(while doing the scanning)
Dr : Alhamdulillah..cyst dah mengecik, aritu letak alat scan nih terus dapat detect, ni dok cari-cari baru jumpa. dah kecik dah around 2 cm
Me : (aku rasa nak sujud syukur kat situ sebab tak sangka mengecut sikit)..legaa nya hati saya Dr!
Dr : Since you ada cyst and have been trying for 7 years to get pregnant but yet tak de rezeki lagi, so at the same time during laparoscopy, I will vacuum out the cyst ,then I will check on your fallopian tube as well nak tengok if tersumbat or not.
Me & Hubby : Kitorang setuju je Dr
Note : Aku ada amalkan keep consuming Blackmores Fish & Evening Primrose Oil. Not saying that this is one of the caused my cyst mengecut but as a supplement, no harm to consume it for the sake of the body
16th January 2019
Morning lepas hantar Aqeil for KAFA school, hubby drive me to Prince Court for ward admission at 9am. Issuance of GL, letter for ward admission semua nurse dah setelkan on 4th Jan aritu, so memang lenggang kangkunglah masuk wad.
Lepas setel pas semua borang, ada nurse dari wad Gynaecology akan datang escort ke bilik
View for standard room. Probably that day was my lucky day - got a room with KLCC view
such a nice view..kalau takde kesakitan, pastinya view ni akan dapat dinikmati dengan sepenuh hati.
Walauapapun yang terjadi, aku tetap redha dengan ujian ni. Mungkin aku banyak sangat merungut dengan workload dan stress di ofis dan seringkali mengungkapkan kata-kata kepada kawan-kawan yang aku ingin cepat-cepat hamil supaya aku dapat merasai maternity leave lama and left the office stress behind. Secara indirectlyTuhan mendengar kata-kata aku dan hantarkan ujian ni sebagai "hadiah" supaya dapat jugak aku berehat seketika dari hal-hal dunia. Jadinya aku terima ujian ini sebagai hadiah dan juga peringatan untuk diri aku
Sepanjang di wad, pelbagai prosedure telah dilalui dengan injection untuk memudahkan acara buang air besar, ambil darah, ujian air kencing, check blood pressure and etc. Masa berlalu sangat lambat sedangkan aku sudah tak sabar menanti 4pm for the operation.
Akhirnya, around 3.30pm beberapa nurse masuk ke bilik aku dan bersedia untuk menolak katil aku ke wad pembedahan. Perjalanan dari Wad Gynae Tingkat 6 sehinggalah ke Operation Theatre Tingkat 2 sangat mendebarkan. Walaupun just a minor surgery but anything can happen sebab I'm gonna be on full bius and tidur semasa pembedahan berlangsung.
Around 5.10pm, aku tersedar dari tidur. Rasa lega yang amat sebab pastinya pembedahan telah berakhir. Cuma masih ada sedikit debaran dalam hati untuk mendengar kata-kata Dato Dr Aziz mengenai cyst yang dijumpai di dalam perut.
Dato Dr Aziz telah arrange for 1 night stay for me and I will be discharge tomorrow. Actually ada je yang balik rumah on the same day, so depend lah ya. Macam aku, since menu kat hosp sangat menyelerakan..why not stay! hihi
Malam tu babysitter Aqeil dan adik aku ada melawat di hospital walaupun time diorang sampai around 9.20pm dah lebih waktu melawat. Selebihnya aku melayan mata yang masih macam mamai nak tidur. haha. Actually at 5.30pm I woke up teringat hal kerja ofis sebab ada one task due date today (17/1/19). Gigihla baca terms and condition subuh hari bagai sampai rasa nak bentan perut sebab duduk lama..well, look Farhana you still can't get rid off your work! Laki aku dah bising siap pakej bebel and aku pulak tak sampai hati nak letgo everything kepada my assistant yang newly joined the team (walaupun dalam hati..please farhana, this time you have to let go!)
Yes, I am a responsible person for whatever task being delegated to me and for what I've been responsible for, but I care too much till it burden myself, haishhh
Pagi at around 8.45am - having my breakfast with Aqeil. He loves hospital sausage so much ;p
Then nampak kelibat Dato Dr Aziz pay a visit...
"Well, I have all good news no bad news!"
aku rasa nak melompat atas katil hospital dengar ayat Dr haha..
"Your cyst contain accumulated blood and I dah vacuum out. You have a lot of darah terkumpul kat belakang rahim and yang tu pun I dah clearkan..basically the reason is beacause of retrograde menses. Meaning to say, darah period yang lama-lama dok terkumpul kat belakang rahim tak keluar habis...jangan risau semua I dah clearkan. Another good news, your tube fallopio takde blockage jadinya mungkin you takde rezeki lagi menimang anak, jadi kena kuat berusaha lagi"
'Alhamdulillah" aku rasa lega sangat dan bersyukur sangat takde apa yang bahaya..no wonderla lepas keluar OT memang melimpah period keluar, memang Dr dah clearkan habes
Around 11.30pm dah boleh discharge, so summary of discharge as below:
and the bill for all the procedure incurred due to ovarian cyst (paid by the insurance company)
Terima kasih Dato Dr Aziz untuk consultation, nasihat, pandangan dan usaha semasa pembedahan. Terima kasih untuk my hubby yang very supportive walaupun tersepit dengan acara team building in between. Terima kasih untuk nurse-nurse wad gyne yang sangat baik dan finally terima kasih untuk ahli keluarga dan kawan-kawan atas doa kalian..it means a lot to me walaupun this is only a minor surgery.
Semoga kita semua diberi kesihatan yang baik dan berpanjangan...ameeen
