The Australian Government announced an improved HPV vaccine for 12 & 13-year-olds from next year this protects about 5% of cancers worldwide including cervical cancer, some forms of throat cancer (this is what I had) and anal cancer.

On Thursday I was lucky enough to attend the Pathfinders forum.
Apart from the sadness and fear of hearing about how wild and random cancer is, it was really good to hear from people who are really making a difference in the way that treatments and cures for Cancer are treated.
I really encourage anyone who reads this to get involved and check it out. http://www.pathfindersgroup.com.au/cancer-research-revolution-forum/
Video Update – 18 February
Personal Blog – 18 February 2016 from Spiros Kotsialos on Vimeo.
Well I am just about to start my 3rd week of radiation. So far it has not been too bad I have been able to continue to put on weight (about 5 kilos now) and get around and do a few things.
Since about Wednesday last week I am starting to feel the radiation take hold a bit and every day am feeling a little more pain and more lethargic. At the moment it is not that bad so hopefully it won’t get much worse, but the doctors advise me otherwise.
I did feel extremely good between 2am and 4am on Sunday morning while my cousin Benson and I sat and watched a great All Blacks victory and felt pretty good later in the morning when the Knicks had a win which is also a great start to the season.
There is not much else to say, hopefully it stays that way and all stays good.
52 days to go…
Sorry for not doing an update over the last few days.The news since my last update has been good.
This of course is obvious after such a great game by the All Blacks against the French. After watching a game that Australia did not deserve to win I am feeling pretty good about a cup victory however previous world cup experience tells me that I should not be too confident!
On my front things continue to progress well and I am now eating a good 2000 – 3000 calories a day so am gaining weight and am in general feeling a lot better. The main issues at the moment is intermittent nerve pain and bouts of feeling very tired.
Today was the next stage in my treatment with the start of seven weeks of radiation. The nurses and doctors tell me that I won’t really feel the negative effects of it for a couple of weeks which is great.
The actual treatment for those that are interested is quick, efficient and painless. It works like this:
till the next time…
