How a typical RADIATION machine looks like.(picture downloaded from the net.)Returned from 1st weekend Ipoh races on Sunday evening and early MONDAY morning was at Room LA2 for my appointment for RADIATION treatment.So its 3 down and 22 to go. The only side effect that is noticeable is the taste, beginning to go again.No salt and sweet, only taste is flat and bitter for all food and drinks.But not as bad as chemo,maybe it is too early to tell.Dryness in the mouth area is expected.Special mouthwash,gel and toothpaste is a must for all neck and throat RADIATION patient.Also salt and sodium bi-carb to gargle at least 5 times a day.Importantly no rubbing against the area radiated as it will cause peeling of the skin.Family and Friends keep praying for me and INSYAALLAH,the treatment will be smooth and with god speed.GOD BLESS AND AMEEN.
