A few days after the 3rd chemo, my left nasal bone started to swell and was very painful. I asked Dr. Lim if the tumour was back. He said unlikely but insisted that I do a thorough CT scan to have a peace of mind. Luckily, the result does not show any tumour. Dr. Lim said most likely that it could be an infection.

My nose is very fragile and sensitive after the radiotherapy. I suspect that I might have catch a cold during my admission in hospital for the chemo as the room was very cold at night. I was given antibiotics which were effective. My blood count has also gone back to normal level and I will be admitted today for the 4th chemo. Hopefully, the room is not too cold this time but I have prepared sweater and mask to protect myself.
