Gum boil is the condition that I am suffering. It sets the panic button, that sent me to get a follow-up with my oncologist and subsequently a referral to a dentist.
I was expecting drainage of the pus and the anticlimax of excitement-disappointment sets in. Excitement, because I thought it was a metastasis and disappointment because the dentist did not think drainage of pus was necessary and preferred me to take antibiotics and see him in 3 weeks time for a filling of the tooth that sets the chronic infection. He was reassuring and he promised to mend other broken teeth or fillings.
The lesson learnt is that though metastasis to the tooth/teeth could happen, it usually happened when there is already widespread metastasis elsewhere.
However, the few days of living with the belief of having stage 4 breast cancer, had thrown me back 120% to the practice as written in the book Kanser Payudara: Teman Ke Akhir Hayat. I never had felt better than anytime in the last three years. So now, even with absence of malignant threat, I still want to continue the same healthy living.
All the medications that I've swallowed had reduced the swelling in my sinuses, and since yesterday, I am feeling that my nose is smaller and softer. However, as I complained that my maxillary bone and throat is still inflamed in spite of antibiotic for the past one week, the doctor gave me Augmentin 625 mg bd to replace the Cloxacillin, and to continue with Metronidazole for another one week.

Dr H, sorry to hear of your condition, I pray that this will be over soon. Kesian mesti susah nak makan kan? InsyaAllah, you will be in a better health soon. Take very good care always - H
H, tak apa, baru balik makan Tutti Fruiti, sebab tekak sakit/inflammed...elok juga tak makan, i baru came across experiment result of rats induced with cancer, divided into 2 groups, one group allowed grazing all the time, the other group fasting 18 hrs a day, allowed to eat within 6hrs a day only..the outcome at the end of the study, yang makan memanjang tu semua mati, yang fasting to a small percentage aje mati...so ada pengajaran juga dalam sakit terbaru ini..thank you for your far distant prayer, I appreciate it.
Assalamualaikum Puan Has
Saya akan buat macam ni, bila ada tanda yg membimbangkan.
Blend 4 ketul ibu kunyit, tapis dan didihkan dengan asam jawa dan gula merah. Minum pagi sebelum makan dan sebelum tidor. Malam, badan akan rasa panas sbb kunyit panas. Alhamdulillah berkesan untuk saya. Rasa sakit di leher akan hilang.
Satu lagi Puan, pokok belimbing tanah juga baik. Kat Kedah, orang tua2 akan buat ulam atau rebus minum airnya. Pokoknya rendah dlm 1 ka, daun bulat bujur kecil, buah kecik2 besar kepala mancis bentuk macam belimbing segi. Rasanya masam.
