So this journey started on the 19th October 2011, when I found that I had some inflammation in the back of my mouth, having left it as you do!! for a week or so I was walking past the medical center and decided to "pop-in" and see if the doctor was free, as it happened he was.
I happen to work for a bank and the first thing he decided to talk about was his issues with banks and how they lost his money and that he didn't trust them, but he had kept the cash receipt, but had put it in the wrong place and that he was determined to get his money back, etc. This probably went on for about ten minutes and I am still not sure whether I was meant to be counselling him for his problem or if I had come to the right place for some mdecial assessment?? I didn't have the heart (or maybe the guts) to tell him I worked in banking, so hid behind Real Estate - I guess that could have been a tricky subject as well LOL!
Finaly, he gets to asking me whats wrong and asks to have a look in my mouth..yes I had cleaned my teeth!! If there is one thing I like about South Africa and especially their doctors there are no holds barred, straight between the eyes.....so when he stepped back and went oh shit! whats that! I knew I had come to the right place!! LOL!
To be fair he did call in a colleague for a further opinion and as they couldn't diagnose they referred me immediately to an ENT specialist and this is where my journey begins, unknown but not to bothered, thinking I have problem just got some swelling that they can sort out with some good drugs! Little did I know....
Welcome to my blog, my name is Stephen Sharp and this is the start of my journey to fight cancer. I will try and walk through the stages of my treatment and hopefully give anyone out there suffering with the same problem an insight into what I have been through or am going through.
