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.
