So been a strange week this one, first I got prescribed a new mouthwash that has actually made me feel better, but as the week has worn on so you seem to go back to where you started, feeling rubbish, beginning of week could taste some food, now I can't, it's is driving me insane!!
So saw Prof. Donde yesterday...he wasn't very happy as my weight has now dropped to 93.8kgs, the conversation was quite funny, went something like:
Prof. Donde: Not very happy with you weight loss?
Me: Oh really
P.D: Yes if you lose to much more then we could have to put a line into your stomach
Me: Um, ok let me put it this way, you'll weigh me next week and I will have probably dropped another kilo, but then I only have a week to go so your not going to do that are you??
PD: Putting it like that I guess not, but try and eat more!!
Me: OK!
PD: apart from that you are in fairly good shape, so you are coping well
Me: you think so (thinking i'm not so sure, but I keep that to myself)
He then tells me that the feeling bad/good is kind of normal, but he tells me the worst period is going to be once I finish the treatment, apparently that is when you feel it the most, your immune system is shot to bits and you feel lousy...this is where I hope Aimspro will kick in and restore me to good working order quickly, I am then looking forward to getting my teeth back and then even more so looking forward to eating normally again.
Carol and Lauren arrived today which is great, so I now have a full house here, Orlanda is settling into work and started off really well so I am really pleased for her, I think she'll do a great job which I will be very proud of her for....
So, another week finishes tomorrow, the finish line is in sight and although its tough I am in the sprint now and not the marathon, so whilst the yards are hard they are not as long anymore - also being lighter I should be able to run faster..LOL!!
Have put the picture up of me about to start my treatment...the man in the mask...!
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.
