Early Christmas gift!! (private room)

The best environment for Samurai to concentrate on his treatment without any stress!!

The group room he was so stresfull and many times it disturbs inpatient's recovery psycological and mentally more than we imagine.

Samurai couldn't caugh at night even being inside the hospital because one of the heartless man on same room complained about its noise... what a fxxx'n old man... but this old man was cut by Samurai's sword sharply enough finally... poor old man... lol

However, Samurai could be transferd luckily to the private room thanks for this old man's insensitive behavior, so now, Samurai is thinking on his next projects get roll.

The low breathing capacity caused by transplant aftereffect, damaged liver and pneumonia have still been issues impeding his sharp recovery even for take a wheel chair out of him, but he is still alive looking forward to the Special Christmas Foods.

His doctor had said that Samurai should not resist to pass the end of 2010, yet, it was only for threat us...

A miracle is always available for everyone.

Enjoy the party season, friends!!

Diamond cuts Diamonds

This is the 4th weekend that Samurai spends out of the jail although the new problems transformed from the origin Leukemia.

The first one is the high cholesterol and the second is the breath difficulty (dyspnea). But both have been under control as possible by medicine, the reeducation of alimentation, the breathing rehabilitation and the chest stretching.

The cholesterol problem he supposed to be caused by the steroid's side effect and by the damaged liver which unable to metabolize it normaly, because even within low cholesterol meal it doesn't get better and neither using a medicine for it. While the steroid is applied the problem won't be resolved and Samurai has been feeling so stressed because his doctor asked him to get better control of meal by himself to help, too...but the Dr. still doesn't know what exacly the cuase is...lol

During the treatment, the happiest moment for Samurai was only the moment to eat, however, if you take it out from him and he can't eat what he likes to eat, these moments could turn to be the most unhappiest moment and acttualy they have been very hard eating the monk's food (hospital food) for more than 5 months 3 times a day..

If even with the medicine it does't get better, let's try to see what happen ignoring a little about the problem.

So, today, Samurai kicked his ass and tried again the Brazilian Grilled Chickin without eats its skin that contained high cholesterol, just for feel more comfortable and less stress.

Diamond cuts diamonds... let him be aggresive in order not to give any chance to the enemy.

In Japan, the automn is coming up and its soft breeze makes us more relaxed and motivated to

do new challenges and activities.

Enjoy your season!

Dear my friend, Mr. Arturo

There're days that we say "Hi, nice to meet you!!" and one day we face to a day that we have to say "goodbye" Come and go ... all kind of disease could be like this relation...but unfortunately not.

Well, this week my co-fighter Mr. Arturo went home...home to Machupicchu...ops. to Lima. After almost 2 years of his fight in Japan, he decided to leave Japan and continues his treatment in Peru with big support of his family. It might be better for him in all terms especially psycological, than he tries here in Japan with different culture and mentality, even inside a hospital. It is definitely so important to creat a better enviroment to fight against disease by ourselves to get better result. We need a better conditioning like when we climb mountain or practice sports. Good tools, psycological and mental preparation can save our lives.

Arturo, Samurai wishes your good recovery and good luck for your future.

After we said "goodbye" we said "see you, again!!", too, right!?

And finally we have to say "adeus!!" for the disease for forever!!

Cuidate mucho, cabron!! Saludos!!

Home again

He is home again!

From the last week, Samurai is allowed to go home for spend a weekend out of the jail to refresh his brain. Whole week days in the hospital he only thinks about the menu for the weekend according to what he is allowed to eat because of his problem on the liver and high cholesterol. And also, hospital's meal are not so easy to have more than 1 or 2 months although we can't complain knowing that there's a lot of people live without food neither clean water in this world. However, we are very sorry but it is not easy for a patient who stay long period in the hospital...

So, that's why Samurai gets crazy to eat some "usual food" at least when he is out of the jail, however, he has to check nutrients of all food he would eat because of those problems.

He was crazy to get some Brazilian BBQ, Spar Ribs and Grilled Chiken but too high fat and cholesterol ...shit... So, basically, he is adapting to have only seafood, seaweed and delivery food from soy beans and vegetables. Quit healthy, isn't it!? Why don't you change your allimentation like Samurai before you get sick!? It is good sign to review your life style when you feel that your berry got started to disturb your mind!! Be carefull, hungovers! lol.

Well, now he got his tank filled so it's time to get some siesta such a cow...lol this is a tiny happy moment of our life...

A good sign!!

After 4 months, Samurai felt autumn wind out of the jail looking at the beautiful blue and red gradation of the Sataurday's evening sky in front of his house. The old house filled of problems in machinaries and in a lot of its parts but his house can't be changed to any other for him to relax and feel his place with his family. However, he needed to back to the jail on Saunday evening to keeps his treatment during this week.

Instead of the hard fight and miracle recovery from the last penumonia, now he is expecting a unbelivable rseult of DNA exam this week.

Today, he had to change from the private room for the group one, so he was disappointed at that moment when the nurse asked him, but at the next moment, he knew that this means that it doesn't take so long to get him out from the jail.

Looking forward for the exam result and the day he can leave here...

Lucia's birthday

2 years ago, the birthday party on their ragged second hand home in Kani-ciry celebrated only between them was so full of expectation, hopes and plan in future with a first lovely dog "Natsu".

It was commemorated Lucia's birthday yesterday on the hospital with much more expectation, hopes and delayed life plan than two years ago. Although this time the party was very simple in the Samurai's sickroom only with a piece of cake for each one of them it was filled of happiness.

Getting old and needed a little of shape up... but her beauty is getting more elegant.

Thanks you very very much for you take care about him being standing by his side physically and spiritually.

He loves you, too much

Samurai's birthplace

Samurai's co-fighter visited Kyoto last weekend and he also visited Samurai's mom cafeteria, in place of him!! Samurai felt a deep jealous for their trip...lol

Although, Samurai's mom visits him every Thursday in the hospital it is so different from he goes and feel his birthplace by himself, you know it!!

However, according to the recent exam result and the level of spirit he keeps on his mind, his homecoming seems wouldn't take so long.

Thanks anyway Arturo and Yoko for visiting his mom!!!

It's a miracle!!

Although, yesterday was the 1 st anniversary of Samurai after his first reborn by the first transplant last year the hardest battle during the year today he got the surprising notice from his doctor!

The bone marrow exam was made yesterday and diagnosed by microscope brought the result with no one of malignant cells anymore. It is miracle!! But it means complete cure!? Calm down, not yet...

Samurai has a DNA problem, too, and it takes about 2 weeks to be known about this result and to be called "be cured" this DNA problem must be resolved, too. But anyway, it sounds that things are going on a positive way.

At the same time, his family says to him "still not cured, so take it easy!" but he is not a kind of guy like "cross a stone bridge knocking" you know. While we are feeling the battle is on our pace, we have to use 120% of power to defeat the enemy, and to fly higher. If not, you will never defeat enemy classfied upper than you.

He has to wait for the result of DNA exam but he and his wife have been already commemorated his anniverary and a possibility of the miracle complete cure.

Tomorrow his wife will get the Brazilian Style Grilled Chicken for our lunch!! Huuuuuum, can't wait for!!

And today, his Peruvian Co-fighter of leukemia brought a Lazania made by himself for Samraui's dinner which he had made a promise that he would cook it for us one day. It was so nice!! Que rica!! And Samurai felt alive!! lol Big thanks!!

In place of chicken it could be a Grilled Duck to fly higher!!

Motorcycle phile!!

In the elevator, Samurai saw the guy with helmet for mortorcycle on his hand to visit someone in this hospital today.

Ahhhhhhh, he made Samurai wants to get his motorcyle and feel wind again!! And additinally, there's a one of his friend who is super philiac for the motorcyle and he always telling Samurai about his motorcyle journey and races he joins to!! These are making him crazy to get whatever seems like helmet even for ride his wheel chair to go up and down inside the hospital!! lol

Well, for who is fan of motorcycle, there's no how to express how we feel energized when we are putting on a helmet even in the hottest summer, isn't there!?

Say goodbye for the pneumonia!!

Reading the my sister's diary on her mixi, my doctor had said that Samurai's remaining days were just about 1 month if the medicine shouldn't work when he got the pneumonia this time...

Obviously, he can imagine that whole his famliy was very afraid of it and they could have asked estimations of funeral in the worst case, acctually... hahahaha One month is enough to find out the economy plan of funeral...lol


But the Samurai has been amazingly recovered from the fucking pneumonia and still alive powerfuly!! This was the second time he suffered by complications during his leukemia's treatment, plus, those doctors always notify cruel notices to his famliy.

So, the Samurai still doesn't know whether his vitality is too powerful or the God doesn't want him on his place. It could mean that it is not the time to he goes, yet, unless he desires.


It has been passed already 1 year and 4 motnhs that he has been in the jail, but still he keeps his spirit high with a lot of hopes given by his family and a lot of friends even passing these boring days in inside the fence.

Thanks a lot for those who always cheering him up!!

The Samurai's book launch by Volunteer Group!

The week of concerned fight has begun from last Monday with chemotherapy which must concern a lot about Samurai’s liver. The side effect is very strong especially to this part of body and index number of the liver is getting high gradually every each day.

However, there’s no special symptom at least today. It sounds good!!

While his fighting without interval, the Volunteer Group of Publication of his book got started their activitiy lsat Sunday fowarding to launch the “Diary of fight against disease” (the real title will be different) . However, he wrote focus on how he has been trying to get over this most difficult situation on his life in place to write about said story because usually these sort of book are publishes after patient die and wrote about sadly battle they had passed by their family or after patient gets better.

And also, he always thought the most of those contents passes us patients very negative images takes away from us the gas we need to challenge and fight at the moment to surviving, indeed.

That’s why Samurai wants to write it during his fight and give some example of how he has been trying to face it glancing the true fact of die beside of him, and so, at the same time he wants other patients who suffering the same kind of disease or people who in the difficult situation, for example, on business, family and parents or at school problem discover the power to get over the such each difficulties. Because many time, what we suffer with disease is same to other kinds problems “in term of difficulty” in level of suffering if we compare with.

And now he would really appreciate to the initiative of Mr. Harada who caught Samurai’s enthusiasm to write the book and invited Mr. Richard, Mr. Ryoichi and Prof. Yoshi in order to the activity gets much quickness and efficiency.

Thank you very very much for all of your kindness and cooperation and wish we could take the published book on our hand to enthusiasm others who is about to loose its hope for live.

Best regards
Samurai

imagine there's no country...

There are a lot of people who Samurai really wants to encounter shaking your hand to say “thanks a lot for your help!” but unfortunately it’s not a possible for a while because now he has been in the jail again since from the last Tuesday…





Although apologetically being late, but Samurai would like to really thank for about 40 participants from 8 different countries to the charity dinner at Mehemet place in Hamamatsu end of last February, dedicated to encouraging Samurai, mainly organized by the owner of the restaurant Mehemet, Mariana, Brian and Osny. And also thanks for the all encouraging messages wrote in three different languages. Samurai hasn’t met before almost of them but their dedication and kind messages gave him incredible energy in order to he passes through from his fated path. Even if it has not been easy these power sent to him from every deep of your heart has been turned to his gas to keep in fight against.





When we receive encouragement from someone, it doesn’t matter who send you because we know that it is coming from your heart and not from your head. And when Samurai got the mail on his hand from Mariana contained these messages, he didn’t know first to cry or opened the envelope, and then, when he started to read them the music got started to play “ imagine there’s no country…”


So, thanks for all of you in Hamamatsu!!

A happy anniversary!!

A happy 1st anniversary for my enemy!

Samurai fights against him to beat him but the same time he learns a lot of things that without this enemy he might haven’t learned. So now, he isn’t sure that the enemy could be considered as real enemy in stead of it could be his big competitor or educator.

To be strong, be patient, be courageous, discovered the missions and recognition of importance of family and his friends were all brought from this disease.

He might know to live together like a partner with this disease as one of his friend told before…he was right and now Samurai understands meaning of him.

But at the certain moment, Samurai has to say goodbye to this enemy to no longer keep the partnership and he has to remember and thank for the fruitage the educator brought to him like two boxers on the ring appreciate and hug each other after a fight.

I can’t wait for this moment arrives…

Thanks for the hope you give me for

Since the beast appeared in his life he recognized that the he is the happiest guy in the world or the universe although his tough fight sounds no period. But his hope has been maintained and fortified each day he receives messages, callings and visitors whose heart are full of positive energy to warming up his mind. If he had no friends neither family he should have took the end long time ago. He doesn’t know how to thank for all of you are supporting his soul and spirit.

Through these which get him keeps alive give him some guide to read what his mission in this life is. And fortunately he is just about to read what he is fighting for and what he should do after this war takes the end. I’m not getting crazy because of the strong remedies but only with this hope all of you are giving him now that is able to save him from this disease. Arigatou, again and again.

1 year on the bed

Once upon a time, there was a master of Zen called Daruma Taishi who had meditated for 9 years on the rock. It is told that, although he could attain enlightenment he lost his both arms and legs as he spent too long sitting on it.

So now, Samurai has spent almost a year on the bed and still got a complete body functioning enough except the bone marrow in restructuring and the brain size of ostrich own, yet it is very far from enlightenment…lol.

Smash of sacks....

Generally, women sound to feel more pain than men.

So, Samurai wasn’t born to feel a lot of headache neither fever like a woman, but unfortunately, on the process of Chemotherapy and Transplantation these symptoms are very normal. Ironically, Buddha doesn’t protect us when we need him…When these come up to his body to suffer him, at present, he doesn’t know how to alleviate them without using analgesics. Well, no merit to be born as man for a while…

And also, these lazy symptoms make us demoralized for do anything. No encourage for reading neither watching TV. These moments are so difficult to keep his spirit high, positive and dream about happy future.

But he has to get rid of these difficult situations with Samurai Spirit in order to realize his next aim.

The result of the first bone marrow exam after the transplantation is that still can see by a microscope a few percent of immature cells but it is difficult to say that these are malignant at the present phase. Because of the damaged bone marrow where produce fresh blood caused by Chemo it can not produce it as well as healthy one. So, hereafter we have to follow whether this production of healthy cells will be performing well. And DNA’s problem must be resolved, too, and its result will come up only 2 weeks after.

Rabbit Samurai?!

This is it!!

Look at this illustration!

It’s Samurai drawn by one of nurse leaving today the hospital…

If you are Brazilian, can’t stop to laugh about it.

Brazilian joke;

Rabbit ejaculate so quick…

Chicken signify bitch...

Additionally, the team Samurai played for the first time in Brazil uses this logo of chicken, too. Maybe that’s why he couldn’t get success…

When Samurai’s wife looks at it, she will be died to laugh although no doubt this nurse doesn’t intent to, at all. lol

But thanks anyway for her job here and hope her success in new place.

After all, Samurai is still waiting for the blond nurse team that his English teacher from Canada had said that he would take them with him from there…lol

The tiptop is there

More than 10 days after the transplantation, Samurai still has been suffering from fever and got his body so lazy, especially legs and foot. Although these symptoms sounds no period we have to believe that one day it will end off even getting nervous and less patience in this moment.

It is not easy to tolerate these symptoms but there’re a lot of things that he wants to do after couple of months when he gets better. In other words, there’re a lot of people to encounter and to say: I’m back! Once he almost touched the heaven, he will be filled of happiness when he can shake hardly their hands again. And this is the hope that has kept up his spirit.

Despite the fucking disease Samurai feels so happy to have them in his heart.

The transplantation has done succesfully

February 9th, without any problem, the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation has successfully done. However, now we have to keep in observation on its establishment on the Samurai’s body. So, from now on, the real key game gets started.

At first, he’s really appreciated for a lot of kind messages, letters and phone callings from all his friends in the world.

Since from the transplantation done yesterday till this morning, fortunately, he’s not been feeling any kind of symptom of GVHD (graft versus host disease) is a common complications of allergenic bone marrow transplantation in which functional immune cells in the transplanted marrow recognize the recipient as "foreign" and mount an immunologic attack. Therefore, happily, he could have a peaceful morning today.

Thanks to the almost 1 month of the treatment at his home between the last December to this January also has contributed physical and mentally in order to prepare a better condition toward to this 2nd transplantation than the 1st one, so, obviously we can strongly expect that this conditioning will help a better recovery.

However, this time all our expectation is focused on the vitality power at cell level of donor’s as well as his own, therefore, now it’s time to Samurai shows his profound potential, too.

But now, it is little bit difficult to understand what exactly the vitality and how to reinforce it. Somehow, for the moment, Samurai believes that recognizing again his mission in this world and trying to accomplish it is the best way to carry out it.

Though, through this fight against the disease he’s been learning a lot, the most precept is “people only can live with supports of a lot of others” indeed. He has no doubt that he could get where he is today by the grace of a huge number of support of his family, friends, medical teams, colleague and managers of the office and a lot of others.

Even any kind of opponents show up on his way, before he accomplishes what his mission requires, he can’t give up his life.

Live vigorously keeping his will higher and being obliged in order to follow his own life.

While he is on the treatment he tries to keep editing here as his condition allows.

Thank all of you very much for your kind support.

Samurai Japan!!

Watching the National Team’s game against Venezuela yesterday, I didn’t catch what was the purpose of the game…. and unhappily I couldn’t really understand even listening the vacant comment of the head coach…therefore, what we Samurai Japan Supporters can expect from their performance on the world cup in South Africa…

Well, the second shot of Chemo has done today morning and feeling better than yesterday, less silly and more hunger. Yes!! Now I’m having a can of coffee that I didn’t want a bit of it at the first transplant and also feeling much physically stronger than that period. So, let’s say that Samurai has been entirely better prepared to the second transplant so as to keep his spirit higher!!

Samurai must get better till the world cup in June and insistently wishes that he will be able to toast high a glass of beer watching games as much as 4 years ago at the No Names Bar in Hamamatsu!!

Samurai's mind (kokoro)

It is so hard to describe Samurai’s mind in foreign language….But he made up his mind to keep trying…

Sometimes, Samurai can touch the same contents which he describes his mind (kokoro) on his blog in Japanese. http://ameblo.jp/quemobile/ (please, feel free and free to access to it). Please enjoy the both.

Well, everyone got on your mind (kokoro) which means “spirit, soul, mind” and for the Samurai, it is not easy to control it even being its owner, maybe it could be hard for everyone. So, feel like that you want to try to handle it but you don’t know how to grasp it.

On Samurai’s mind there are always two types of different spirit. One is Positive thought and other one is Negative thought. These are twin and called as “insects on mind”by the owner. Kokoro no mushi, in Japanese.

Well then, they fight each other inside of him and when something suffering or perturbing factors are surged the Negative wins a game and when something glad or eats what he really likes the Positive gets the gold medal. Therefore, they act so freely on his mind and play like on the seesaw… it means no control and his mind is like a lawless zone??!! lol

However, comparing to the beginning, lately, Samurai has been getting better control these 2 insects, trying to think about what would like to acquire and to be in the future. Samurai’s brother suggested him to have one more dog (already have 2). It will be definitely a Bulldog!! lol

Well, the first Chemo has done this morning and feeling like hang over silly but helpfully feeling no nausea, yet. That’s a good sign and why the side-effect could make me more intellectual??!!

Platelet transfusion

Since beginning of this January, the number of platelet doesn’t stop to decrease gradually. In today’s blood test it has shown such 32,000. Because of this, Samurai had to take a transfusion of platelet in this afternoon. Additionally, on the blood test on last Friday showed about 2% of Myeloblast.

Every time Samurai takes platelet transfusion he becomes so sleepy by effect on the anti-allergy shot applied before transfusion, but it is very pleasant moment that he drowses off although sometimes he reacts on platelet such as some part of his body gets started to have an itch like got crazy.

After 14 hours, the Chemo that Samurai was “so expected” will get started but he hopes that he’ll has been able to keep writing his blog without lose good feeling.

Samurai has a silver lining

The first one given by his brother didn’t work and now our expectation counts on the second one given by his sister. He is completely lucky Samurai to has two brothers with HLA matched.

The first tryout was done in August 2009 and after 3 months it was confirmed that leukemia has returned betraying all our belief in cured. Since beginning of this fight against the monster Samurai knew that the beast is not so easy to be eliminated, however, fortunately he has been able to keep his spirit high and optimistic thought because of the encouraging support of his wife making him feeling like not as a patient.

Now we are facing to the second challenge and all our hope is focusing on his vitality and successful work of his sister’s Hematopoietic Blood Cells in order to clean up all. Obviously, chemotherapy will be applied but a complete recovery can be expected if the H. Blood Cells do perform enough together with his vitality.

Samurai's high spirit with a positive thought is maintained by a huge number of encouraging messages through letters, e-mails, comments on blog and especially a support of his family.

He believes that the all he has been passing through on this moment was nothing more than a page of thousands of books of his life.

Now this blog has unveiled by a sword of Samurai.
