So got up Saturday morning, most of the swelling has gone down except for around my lower right jawbone which is obviously where all the truama from the teeth being removed is.
Angela and I have some breakfast, bless her she has stayed over just in case, we then go and buy foods that I think I can eat for the next few days before I fly back to London. Off to a light lunch at Morningside Mall (into Tsunami) for some sashimi.
Get home and Nick comes round, all hungover from a big night out and within seconds falls asleep on the couch watching the footie - his team as well!! sadly the gooners win, Nick is a big Arsenal fan so we have some friendly rivalry and banter as I am a Spurs fan - he then goes off home and for the first time in 36 plus hours I am on my own.
I am generally quite comfortable on my own, I am very fortunate to have found a house in SA that is very homely and comfortable, it has helped me settle down very well here. I make myself some food, take all the drugs I need to take for pain, infection, etc. I really want to have the least amount of trouble with all this and especially as I want to be in as good shape as possible for when I get home. My brother-in-law Carol's brother Scott marries his partner at the weekend up in Scotland which I am really looking forward to going to, especially as I am meant to be the official photographer.
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.
