Murphy’s Law and Life

July 31, 2011

So the Murphy’s law says “If something has to go wrong…. It will” . And it did to an large extent in my life. I was suffering from Fissures since March 2010, got treated at various hospitals in Kuwait. Finally on October 26th got operated at Dar Al Shifa putting end to all my misery. At least I thought so, had the doctor at Dar Al Shifa paid little attention to his job and done further investigation down my anal canal probably he would have detected something was wrong… terribly wrong.

So after months of bleeding after the surgery and being sent back by the imbecile doctors at Dar Al Shifa that it was normal to pass ‘Mucus and blood’ 3-4 months after the fissures surgery, one fine day my bowel was blood red and it was very scary and this time I told the doctors that something is wrong and and I am scared and finally they opted for a colonoscopy.

And as NOT expected, I was diagnosed with colorectal tumor of size 4cm which was blocking 30% of my anal passage and causing all the bleeding. And thanks to the negligence the lymph nodes had already spread. A CT scan was done after my wife fought with the doctor who was adamant that CT was not required.  And luckily there is no distant metastasis and all my vital organs were OK.  So without no further delay, not risking my life at the mercy of Dar Al Shifa doctors, we moved to India the next day to Mumbai. and After consulting couple of doctors we settled down to Dr Kamran Khan at Joy Hospital Chembur. That was in April

Since then I have undergone radiotherapy and Chemotherapy (tablets) at the Jupiter Hospital at Thane, followed by a Major surgery at Joy hospital Under Dr Khan. Right now I am recovering from surgery well. I’ve got one more corrective surgery to put my colostomy back. Then I will be undergoing chemo again for a year I guess.

So that’s what happened in my life, while some of my relatives were joyous that I got cancer and will die soon. My wife has put up a brave front, she’s been standing by me like a pillar from day one. And I know by faith that this phase of my life will pass like a bad dream.

Lot’s of lessons learnt this year, and many more to learn. It’s not over until it’s not over !

    Get well soon. Even if the experience is excruciating and may show incidents as the ugly face of life. There is always the bright side of them. Knowing who are your true friends and those who genuinely care for you, the value of what you might have taken for granted and a second chance to experience life with a new pair of eyes where you see things differently and brightly.

    Hope all gets well with your recovery and god bless your wife and those who stood by you.
