WELCOME TO MY BLOG

I have just been diagnosed with a Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma of my right tonsil, this means I have a malignant tumour on my tonsil. This has grown into my soft palate, which makes surgery very difficult.

I have decided to setup this blog for people to read through what my journey to recovery will be and the treatment I will receive on the way.

I am sure there will be some high and low points, some funny moments and some deep dark days ahead, but hopefully for anyone in the same situation as me it gives you some hope, tips on what to do and above all else the FIGHT to get through what can only be described as a very tough ordeal.

Arrive in the UK

Flight arrives on time, have slept the whole flight which was good and feel in reasonably good shape, have a number of things on today, most importantly I see the family which is great, have really missed them since this "medical problem" arose!

I am off to see Prof. Syed Haq this afternoon to start treatment with Aimspro. Aimspro is a drug that he believes will work in conjunction with my radiation therapy and will hopefully at best kill off the tumour quicker, but at least reduce the side effects you get with the radiation treatment, if thats the case I will be singing from the hilltops about this drug, especially as I am an investor!! I'll become a real life case study and there best salesman!!

Still got pain in my jaw but hopefully over the coming week or two that will subside.
