QUOTE(Jessica2020 @ Nov 6 2020, 12:03 AM) Hi Jessica, I was wondering how you are coping with the treatment so far? My father was recently diagnosed with NPC (between stage 1 & 2) and will be going through radio + chemo next week. Your experience would be helpful for me to understand what my father will go through during this treatment.

QUOTE(Jessica2020 @ Nov 23 2020, 12:08 AM) Hi there , yes i just finish my 1st cycle of chemotherapy (each cycle 2 time ) last friday and my 2nd cycle will start on this coming friday. Luckily the side of chemo doesn't go too harsh on me . what i had experience which is a mild fatigue , loss appetite ,constipation(2nd and 3rd day after chemo) , feel bitterness in my mouth (It may last 3 to 5 day). However, i still able to go for jogging after chemo (it is not advisable if u feel extreme tired and weak ). it is sad to heard ur dad also been diagnosed with NPC , but dont worry , with advancement of medical technology this disease is highly curable especially during early stage. what i can advise is listen to what doctor said ,always stay positive (i know it maybe hard but family support is very important (For my mum always be my side ) , eat healthy (alot veges and fruit avoid toxic food like prawn and etc ) and exercise more frequently (i went for jog 5km everyday before i start my chemo ) . i believe exercise will help in boosting metabolism as after chemo our body can produce new cell more quickly and therefore side effect will be mild. so after 2nd cycle , i will proceed to radiotherapy. I will update again once my radio start. Stay strong !!!! Thank you for the update. Hope you can stay strong and steady throughout the entire treatment. My father just went through his first radiotherapy session today and appears to be fine for now. He'll be going through 5 radiotherapy sessions a week with a cycle of chemo every Tuesday. Hope both you and my father's journey to cancer-free will be smooth sailing.

Is there a reason why your white blood cell count has dropped drastically? I met up with a dietician recently and she advised my father to maintain a healthy diet to maintain red blood cell count but from your experience, it seems a drop in white blood cell is something to consider as well.
