Hi,
I am back in Sweden again! So lovely to see family and friends...like always!! Will stay for 3 weeks, working hard on my PhD write up.
It is such a difference to see my dad today compare to when I was home last month!! He is still recovering well and the sleepless nights does now consist of more sleep and less wake. This results in a less grumpy and more alert dad!! His mood is much better and he spends they day actually doing things rather that sleeping. He started to paint on our house, plus working a few hours a day. I did not expect him to be soo good so soon. Its only 8 months since diagnosis and only 4 months since last treatment!!
He will now have his first check up in Linkoeping at the ENT (oera/nesa/hals) clinic next friday the 4th. He is very nervous....which is understandable. We are nervous as well....
I just want everything to be fine!!! Please.
Will give an update of how it goes, in the meantime, please keep your fingers crossed for him!
LOve from me

LONG TIME.....
I am not sure if anyone is reading this blog anymore as I have not been updating it for very long so sorry about that....
My dad is still recovering well!! The only negative thing is that the tissue in his neck is damaged from the radiotherapy and as a result he has developed severe sleep apnoea. This means that he harldy sleeps at night as the stopping of breathing causes awakenings all throught the night. Becuase of this he is very tired during the day and falls a sleep all the time, within seconds and does not function very well. He went to his consultant and she said that this could happen as a side effect of treatment but hopefully things will improve by next year.
Another thing which is not getting any better yet is his taste, he cannot taste anything and his favourite food is now full fat milk and bluberries.
However, who care about taste and apnoeas at the moment!!! All that matters is that he will keep fighting this bloody disease and keep getting better!! That is the only this that matters!!
He will go back for his first check up sometime in late August/early september so fingers crossed for that the cancer has stayed away.
Otherwise, things are fine with all of us! Had a lovely summer together!
See you soon.
LOVE from me
