it's me again, Maman Afsaneh

I hoped Talla and Amir would post something! They didn't and it's me again ( I am not complaining!!!)........only I'm sorry for you guys, you're stuck with my boring post again.
He doesn't write, probably he is a little upset, only a little but still smiling!
The c-scan result wasn't as we would like it to be..........the good news is no change, it showed no shrinkage/no growth, I take it as a good news. What about you?
He is going to start his new treatment tomorrow which is Monday in SD., taking  medication(chemo type) every day to beat this big sh...... C( I said the bad word)............please, wish him the best success with this new Pill to beat the heck out of this big C.  As, he is a tough guy it looks like his C wants to play tough too! Cousin Tandar said it all in her comment; "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".  That's the plan for him and all of us.
He has 450 followers/prayers in 2 months, who can do this?! 

Love you all

  4. Amir...the status quo is not discouraging but i am sure it's frustrating for u since u have to absorb the terrible effects of chemo. Regardless of how sympathetic everyone is, nobody can fully comprehend the mental exhaustion and physical punishment ur going through...it would take the vivid imagination of a novelist to half way grasp the physical and mental torment of an individual who's receiving chemo therapy. Yet this cruel process is necessary to transform the status quo into what everyone is hoping for: a full recovery. Stay positive...u have a good support system around u...u will overcome it:)
    Best wishes and regards

  5. May I suggest a good fighting song for you to keep you going in long battles.
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh

    Everybody was kung-fu fighting
    Those cats were fast as lightning
    In fact it was a little bit frightening
    For they fought with expert timing . . . . .
    Thinking of you, sending you some positive energy. Hang in there it will get better.

  6. a great, wise king in ancient times called unto all the poets and writers and thinkers of his time and commissioned a phrase which would remind him of the ways of Life. He wanted something that he could repeat to himself when he was extremely happy, and also when he was extremely upset and unhappy. When asked why, he said because I want to be reminded that neither happiness nor unhappiness are forever, and so I want one of you to write me a phrase which will remind me that all states of mind are temporary, so that I do not get too carefree to forget the lows in Life, and not too depressed to forget the blessings...and so one wise man won the commission by writing the king this phrase:
    This too, shall pass....

  12. Hi Amir. I hope it's ok... i want to share a high school story. :)

    Amir taught me to surf, encouraged me to play music, showed me what it is to stick up for your family, oh.. and we had some fun times too!

    Although it must have been 13 years ago, I remember this incident like it was yesterday....
    Amir stood up to a bully at school because he was saying some not so nice things about Amir and his family. Now, Amir is the nicest guy but this day he was very upset to say the least. This guy was twice Amir's size, although i think he was a fly through Amir's eyes. I stood there behind my friend and watched a slight scrap of young lads. Needless to say, Amir won the fight, the battle, and the war. I was so happy that day because my friend stood up for what was right. And i truly believed in him. I know his folks didn't like him fighting, and i didn't either, but this was a time when fighting was right. This battle was a fly through Amir's eyes.

    Amir, you are a shining genuine soul who believes in living life with love that certainly holds a place in my memory. I can't wait for you to get better so you can return my messages :) ...so we can hang out.

    Love you brotha Amir! I know you will win the fight, the battle, and the war! I believe in you!

  13. so... this message is to everyone following Amir's blog. I visited him today in the hospital and he looks great. His spirits are high, he told me he has gained some weight and now that one of the 2 drains was removed, he is feeling so much better. It turns out he had picked up an infection and was having to deal with that; but things are looking much better. We went for a walk through the gardens and we enjoyed some good discussion. He expects to check-out of the hospital in the next day or so, they just wanted to keep an eye on him as he started his new meds. Don't read into the lack of posts recently, he is doing ok... your prayers and positive vibes are making a difference. In fact, Amir told me he has been partaking in some yoga and has his appetite back. Regards, Jason E.
