Son and Friends Had A Great Fishing Trip

On Tuesday, 2nd May, I went to hospital for my pre-chemo blood test. The next day, 3rd May, I was admitted to the hospital for my 2nd cycle chemo using the new chemo drug. The doctors were not happy with the result of the pre-chemo blood test and I was asked to fast to prepare for an ultrasound to be done to check whether there is any blockage in my liver. By 3pm the ultrasound was done and it was a relief to be told that there is no blockage in my liver.

By then I was told that it was too late to start the chemo treatment. The next day (Thursday) was a public holiday and it is not advisable to start chemo treatment on a Friday because there will be no doctors on duty on Saturday and Sunday. So I was told that I could be discharged and re-admit to the hospital on Monday.

Sometime last month, younger son and friends went for a fishing trip. They rented a fishing boat and below are some of the photos from their fishing trip and their plentiful catch.

These are the smaller fishes.
Younger son and friend bought this ice box when they were back in Ipoh last month.
A long fish.
Looks like they had a great catch this round.
Both caught the same type of fish.
Plenty of fishes to last for a long time.
Sometimes, they don't have a good catch but this round, the catch is good.
Both of my sons love fishing.
Then he said, "Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat,
and you'll get some!" So they did,
and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.

  1. Wow, wow. These are some big fish they caught. Now who cleans these fish. I love fishing but I hate cleaning them so we just throw them back into the water.
    I hope you are feeling better Nancy.

    1. Thank you, Paul. They will do the cleaning themselves before they store away the fishes.

  4. Wow that's a great catch! My brother is a huge fan of fishing and he even built his own boat, so he can go fishing with his friends weekly. Hope by now that you already had your chemo therapy with new drug.

  8. Nancy, how big are those fish! Due to its weight, it will surely be difficult to drag to the boat!

    1. Some are quite big. Needs strong hands to haul in the fish.

  12. Oh dear me, hopefully the next session of chemo won't be postponed but I can understand the delay as it makes total sense.

    Loved seeing these photos Nancy...

  17. Oh, this made me so afraid and sad.
    Yes, Ingo always manages to get sick on Fridays or public holidays.
    And then you run and run to find a doctor.
    Hope all goes well!!!

    I would be bored, but again... Ingo would love that.

  26. Hi Nancy,
    Hope it's going well with your chemo treatment.
    My brother is big fishing enthusiast; he'll be visiting Malaysia in July. Wondering where your sons went to catch these fish?
