Much the same as other days, went into work and then saw Dr. Boyes-Varley, who checks over my mouth and tells me that it's healing very well and no effects from the first few days of the radiation therapy.
Then its down to the oncology centre, x-rays as usual and then treatment, all over in a gif as the other days
Get home and surprisingly feel very tired, no other effects, although my sleep pattern getting really mixed up with these 2-3 hour sleeps in the afternoon..
So what vitamins am I taking?
I have been taking, Omega 3 with vitamin E, Vitamin D3, Bi-Quinol CQ10, also Procydin which is a nutrional supplement - an antioxidant free radical scavenger
I have also been taking to support my High BP and cholesterol - Niacin B3 and Red Yeast Rice, interestingly my Cholestrol has dropped to 4.6, from about 6.7, which is much lower than when I was just taking Simvastatin, my BP is steady now as well, although the Candesartan I take has seemed to keep this in check, the big thing for me here is to get off the statins!!
As mentioned before I am also injecting every other day Aimspro, which I think is definetly helping with the healing process..long may it continue to do so!!
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.
