Timeline Part 3

Proceeding the story. I was in Malaysia and I still got blood in my stool. I hate it. I always need to find a toilet after eating, it was excruciating. Sometimes during the process of eating, I need to go to the toilet. So I went to see a doctor at a clinic. It was first diagnosed as somewhat they called Traveler’s diarrhea but they pills they gave didn’t do anything at all. They suspected the worst , colon cancer, and they asked me to go to the hospital as fast as I can. So I went to a private hospital and they said they need some blood and stool sample, but they couldn’t process the sample as fast as some top hospital so they forwarded me to PUSRAWI. It was fast and easy. The first time experience preparing for colonoscopy was surprisingly painful and very tiring. Really it is, it’s like fasting(puasa) but for 3-4 days without breaking(bukak puasa) it. Then after the procedure and all. I went to the hospital a week after that for the explanation, I didn’t really understand the degree of my illness. Seriously I thought I just need to go to the toilet more and no more problems and there’s like some medicine to control the bowel movement. And I thought, OK that is all. I went back home even smiling. I really don’t know. The doctor said it is an autoimmune disease and the cause is unknown. The thing that changed your life and there is no hint on what is the cause. I was not satisfied actually and the best answer the doctor said “Your just unlucky”. I don’t blame the doctor after I joined some forums that I’ll update it later. I forgot to update that the medicine that I took costs a lot of money. It is expensive. It was shocking and I think it was around 600MYR and another 2000MYR for the colonoscopy. I paid half and my mother paid for the other half. For a student, 2000+MYR is expensive unless my parents are rich people. Unfortunately, they aren’t.
