Me & ThaLaSseMia thingy~

ok, result medical check up sudah diketahui.. everything's fine except............
.
.
..

"can u come tomorrow morning? Doctor needs to review your result?"
"ok.. tomorrow should be okay for me.. but, the review is for....?"
"do you have any family members who suffered with THALASSEMIA?"
"ha...?"

ok! i know thalassemia is some kind of genetic disease, something to do with blood.. NOKTAH.itu saja dalam otak..

after the phone call, i rushed to surf the internet, read about thalassemia whatever... got the info, day goes by with nervousness.. for tomorrow's "review". duh! it's creepy!!!!

the next day...
"counseling" by the doctor..
for those suffered with thalassemia..............................

wait2!
"am i the carrier or..... i do have the disease??" (rakusnya saya bertanya!)
"if you ask for my opinion, i would say u are the carrier and yours is minor, which we called as alpha thalassemia because your blood count is normal... it is not serious.. you won't notice that you have it"
"okay...." lega!
"but!... (i hate the word 'but'!!) if u want to make sure, that you are the carrier alpha thalassemia, u can do further test... (ya, saya buat terus test itu!) and, u can also do chromosomal test, which can be done at IMR, KL or u'll go to Australia... in Malaysia, only IMR does the chromosomal test" (tak buat, mahal sungguh)

maka.... bermulalah kaunseling itu.... creepy huh~ thalassemia? who would know about that.. it's genetic, and my father had no idea how to pronounce the word pun. how on earth?! i already asked all my family members to do screening..

so guys... do the screening.. you might be ME, who had no idea at all! :( oh my future husband, please stay away from thalassemia!

it is not compulsory yet in Malaysia, but it is compulsory in any other countries before you've got married.. coz, the next generation will suffer if the gene meets...
