Please we need the name of this facility in Magodo. I suppose the treatment commences once the chemo is over right? Anybody can come out with a cancer survival story (not that we're doubting your judgement) but we need diverse opinions regarding this before taking the leap.
Re: Please Help Safe Folake (urgent) by ifyalways(f): 5:58pm On Mar 01, 2015
I'm not sure I understand you very well,Folake but I would have thought finishing the full course of treatment at Eko hospital would have been the best. However, I trust you know what's best for yourself. You are in my prayers.

If she is getting chemotherapy, she ought to be on immune boosters. My worry is that the hospital doing the chemotherapy should prescribe them as I don't think the other guys might know her medical history or have a copy of her case note

Folake, God is your strength.
You are in my prayers.
Please its very advisable to let the eko doctor into whatever treatments or drugs you're planning to take.
Try to make friends with him and carry him along, cos his advice and insights will be most invaluable right now.
Please remain strong.

All the steps you take in combating this ailment will yield positive results by God's grace. Like Mynd and tchiwinnie has suggested, hope the oncologists at EKO hospital have given a green light to these medications?

the point is let the doctors at Eko hospital be aware of ALL medications and treatment you take outside so that you can be better advised.
It is well with you

I just went through the thread today so let me do my bit to educate a bit on Nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC. NPC is a cancer arising from the skin in an area behind the nose known as the Nasopharynx. It is relatively rare and most doctors not in ENT may never have come across a case before and this makes the diagnosis to be delayed in many cases. Most patients present with a neck swelling first, others have symptoms that may easily be confused with cartarhh that refuses to go away, bulging eyes, difficulty in swallowing and deep headaches. Such cases are rarely diagnosed till they have advanced to the stage where they give other scary symptoms like nose bleed. Patients rarely loose weight at the beginning so this makes many people relax and not suspect something sinister. It affects any age group but in Nigeria is commonest amongst young adults in their 20s and 30s.
The treatment is Radiotherapy alone for very early cases and then radiotherapy and chemotherapy for other stages from stage 2 upwards. There is very little surgery that can be done for these patients as the Nasopharynx is so closely related to many delicate structures in the head and the chances of removing the tumor without killing the patient is slim.
I can't comment on this patient as I don't have all the details and I couldn't make a prognosis on a social blogsite even if I did.
My advice for her is to make sure she completes her Radiotherapy and chemotherapy without a break and then 3 to 6 months later her doctor will need to reasses her.
Both radio and chemotherapy are brutal. I tell my patients that at the end they will feel like a trailer ran over them and reversed .
I hope my little explanation is of help.
I'll keep praying for her.

Due to emotional reason,I have stopped reading this thread,but I read Folake's response and was touched.Please what hope does chemotherapy offer?From your explanation and little science I know,operation may not be it sir.
Re: Please Help Safe Folake (urgent) by allycat: 7:04pm On Mar 02, 2015
Folake as I said radiotherapy is very hard on the body because of the way it works. The radio waves kill any fast growing tissue and the fasterthe tissue grows it grows the better it works. Cancer cells are growing extra fast and that is why they are killed off. Unfortunately the skin in your digestive tract (that is mouth , oesophagus stomach etc) are also fast growing but not as fast as the cancer, so many of these cells are being damaged but not as severely as the cancer cells Try to eat a balanced diet, since food is hard to chew and swallow add things like Complan milk to your diet, blend fresh fruits like banana with milk or youghort, or none citric fruits so you get adequate nutrition and vitamins, ask your doctor to prescribe something for the nausea and vomiting.Drink plenty of water, gargle regularly with mild salty water and if you can find it small baking soda. I recommend bone to be applied to sores in the mouth to soothe them before eating. Also be careful of what supplements you tak,e anything with folic acid should be avoided as these feed the tumour.
Yes I have seen patients recover from NPC but unfortunately I have seen some reoccur too . You concentrate your energies on staying positive as we always get better results in patients who are not depressed. I know it's not easy but God is your strength.
