January/February/March 2011
Firstly sorry for being a little slack once again but I really didn’t have much to report on so I thought I would wait until after I visited the ENT Specialist (16 Mar) and the Radiation ONC (22 Mar) before I put my jottings down - as usual for the last few reports my health has been pretty good.
I had my latest review on 16 Mar with the Specialist and once again he was happy with my progress. I now don’t have to see him until Jun 2011 The Radiation Oncologist appointment was put off from the original date of the end of Feb to 18 March then to 22 Mar. When I did see him he was very happy with my progress and now doesn’t see the need for me to visit him until 20 Mar 2012 so I am pretty happy with that.
The dry mouth is still ever present but as I said in my last update I am now used to it so it is not that inconvenient really. All other aspects are going really well. I have been warned by my ENT that I need to monitor my thyroid function as there is a possibility that it will pack it in due to the radiation treatment. So far so good so I will keep my fingers crossed that I don’t have any problems in this area. The ENT said the symptoms are being lethargic and a sudden increase in weight.
I will try to me more diligent and update my blog monthly again. So until next time look after your health.

Firstly sorry for being a little slack again but I really didn’t have much to report on so I thought I would wait until after I visited the ENT Specialist (12 Jul) before I put my jottings down - as usual for the last few reports my health has been pretty good.
I had my latest review on 12 Jul with the Specialist and once again he was happy with my progress. I now don’t have to see him until Oct 2011. As I mentioned in my last update the Radiation Oncologist doesn’t see the need for me to visit him until 20 Mar 2012.
I have been feeling pretty good within myself over the past 3 months. I have been getting some exercise (never enough) and have been heavy involved (as usual) with hockey. Apart from this nothing much else has happened.
I will try to me more diligent and update my blog monthly again. So until next time look after your health.
August 2011
As for the last few reports my health has been pretty good. I had a bout of flu but I have (knock on wood) shaken that now. So until next month take care.
September, October, November & December2011
As for the last few reports my health has been pretty good.
In October I had another follow-up visit with my ENT Specialist and once again I got the all clear for another 3 months.
November marked three years since I was diagnosed and to reflect back on it a lot of water has passed under the bridge in that time
With Christmas fast approaching i will take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and safe season - so until next time I take to the blog take care and be kind to others.
