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.

Visit to the ENT Specialist

So off I trot to see a absolutely delightful man by the name of Dr. Neil Scott at the Morningside Mediclinic. He has all these amasing contraptions in his rooms and I think he decided he needed to use all of them on me!!


He did a few tests by shoving things in my nose (very painful btw), down my throat and had a good feel around the lump I had near my tonsil, which had some inflammation.

He prescribed some Augmentum antibiotic, mouthwash and gel to be applied to the inflammation and I was then to comeback a week later and see how we were doing. Away I go get my drugs and remedies and religously take the antibiotics, mouthwash and apply the gel.

On my return a week later (2nd Nov. 2011) the inflammation has gone down but the lump is still there. Neil explains to me that this is now beyond his area of expetise and he refers me to Prof. Chris Joseph another ENT (head & Neck) specialist, I see him the following day!
