Going back for a CT Scan

Today I'm going back for a CT Scan after almost 11 weeks since my last irradiation.
I still look back and cannot belief the journey I've just been through.  God has been good to sustain me under that circumstance and I've come out deeper and stronger.
Praying for complete healing and a clean bill of health for a fresh start as far as my health goes.

New late onset side effects

Have been enjoying Chinese New Year meals and the gatherings around a sumptuous table of food. Glad that there is no more pain in the throat.

A late onset side effect which came a week ago is sharp pulling pain in the neck area up to the back of the head.  It feels like someone is tugging on the hair.  Apparently the nerves are damaged and are repairing itself. My hands shake a lot especially when putting a spoon to my mouth.  Drinking soup is a challenge :)
Chinese oncologist Tung Shin said that exercises are important to help with the recovery of this side effect.
I have been diligent I'm going to the gym and that has helped somewhat.

I go to do a CT scan in a couple of weeks and prayingt complete healing.

Visit to the ENT

2nd Feb - a visit to the ENT specialist. He put a camera up my nose and found no growth.  Its cleared.  Now that's good news.

I have a late side effect development.  The muscles from The neck to the shoulder blades are super tight. I also exprience sharp pains in the chest. Doc says I have to stretch them muscles or else it stiffen up.  Look up look down, look left look right....ouch!!
