Cancer Battle Post Mortem - 6 Years On

Its officially 6 years since the day I'm done with radiotherapy treatment, but am still having the side effects due to it...

Firstly, stinko breath...
It's due to the scab / dried mucus thingy... Every few days or so, I would have to gargle some salt water and then throw/expel the salt water out via my nostrils. In the process of doing so, it softens the scab and dislodges it from the walls of the back of my nose, so it's easier to purge it out. ok, a bit TMI, i know...

Secondly, the 2 bald patches at the back of my head...
Well, thank God they can be concealed cos I've got long hair and the patches are pretty much nearer to the neck. Got a few super fine baby strands of hairs growing, but that's about it. I'm kinda speculating it is gonna be like this forever cos the roots are pretty zapped dead.

Last but not least, my teeth...
They are in a super duber uber horrendous state with decay stains and all. I visited the dentist last Saturday and asked him to fix and restore my smile. He got pretty shocked and did nagged, asking why didn't I go back often to see him. My bad, I admit. When I went there, honestly, I was prepared to get a huge nagging/scolding...
And so, come tomorrow afternoon, I'll embark on a journey to restore my pearly whites by doing crowning... I did some reading online to find out more about the procedure, and it seems to be quite *FARKING* painful. I've got phobia of butterflies (guess whoever's reading this must be either shocked or laughing their heads off) and I really don't like the feeling of them fluttering in my stomach right now... And at the same time, I can already feel the drilling on my teeth... And yet, I can't wait for it to be done so I can have nice nice teeth! I'm nervous, scared shit, and excited at the same time! Can I just fast forward the time to 2359hrs Friday, 29th July 2011? HAHAHAHAH
I'm guessing I'd probably be making a few trips to the dentist in the few weeks or so... Who likes going to the dentist? Not me... But no pain no gain! May God bless me with strength and courage! :-)

But going through crowning is not the most shocking or scary discovery made. It is discovering that 2 of my wisdom teeth have decayed and "disintegrated" to the point that there's only half of each tooth left. Any normal human being would already be running to the dentist, complaining of pain, and demanding that something needs to be done immediately. For me, because of radiotherapy, the nerves are zapped till they are constricted, hence I feel NOTHING... Half a tooth left and I still feel NOTHING, now that's shocking and scary...
If you are reading this and know of anyone, directly or indirectly, who have gone through radiotherapy around the head and neck area, please advise them to have regular dental checkups. I didn't and now I'm paying for a painful and costly lesson...

Keeping It Real With Glee

I love Glee and am a self confessed Gleek.
Hate to say this, but news about axing/graduating some characters is actually kinda expected...
They have to graduate afterall... In real life, who doesn't graduate from school? Hmmm, but with that being said, y can't they fail their exams or get suspended or something? Then they'll have to repeat their final year ya?!

Then again, news is kinda expected but its still hard for me to accept it... Prob it'll take the whole of season 3, watching how the plot rolls out, then i‘ll be able to accept the fact that graduation time is here...
