To Continue or Not to Continue..?


Qiaoyi went for her 4th injection treatment at the end of April '09. She was more steady this time after having gone through the last three treatments. No more crying in pain as the doctor and anaesthesia had given her the right type of painkiller through the past experience.

The improvement on her scars are more visible now. However, it is still quite far from the near full recovery. Her scar is located at a sensitive area and not much pressure is able to obtain to press it down even though she has put on the silicon gel sheet and pressure garment. This has indeed slow down the process of healing.

Anyway, Qiaoyi is not going for her 5th injection for the time being as there is some physical changes on her body after the steroid injection treatments. We were advised by the cosmetic surgeon to stop the treatment and observe if the changes is due to the steroid taken even though it is quite unlikely. The side effect of taking steroid injection are putting on weight and possibly kidney problem as we have known. However, we were told that the side effect is very minimal and it is vary from one person to another.

So now we are stucked here, to continue or not to continue....
