Love reading your blog. We are in the same boat. I'm also a tongue cancer survivor. Also lost my whole tongue. Your blog is both inspiring and motivating.
What a beautiful name. Thank you for saying, "Hello" and leaving such a kind comment. I have visited your site and it seems like we have a lot in common. So close yet so far so to speak. How are health care and treatment options in Malaysia?
I'm glad you found me. I have many visitors from all over the world, but most have some type of other cancer. If there is anything you'd like to discuss, please feel free to ask. I know family and friends try to understand, but they just can't comprehend the magnitude of this issue. It seems you're doing well. I wish you the best and hope you continue to make progress!!
Yes, we do have a lot in common. I've been on tube feeding for about 2 months now. My mouth waters when I read about the grilled hot dog and marshmallows and could just taste it in memory but as least we are alive and kicking, right. I guess thats what matters at this point.
About the health care in Malaysia, we have excellent surgeons in the government hospitals. I got my treatments in a government hospital. Being a government servant, all my treatments have been paid by the government and I don't have to pay a single cent. So, I've been fortunate in that department. However, the after care is really poor. In my case for instance, I didn't get the speech or swallow therapies. We just have to adjust to the new normal on our own, sad to say.

You are doing well yourself. Wish you the best.
