In 2021, i was diagnosed with cancer of the nasopharynx. This had attacked my nose and grown down to my throat. I got started on chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment which came along with severe nutrition related side effects. I lost my appetite, taste, got wounds in the mouth that run down to the throat and my weight immensely reduced from 68Kgs to 35Kgs for a 20+ year old. My immunity was very low too and i had to embark on my nutrition journey.
Seven months down the road, I was free from cancer but not free from malnutrition. The first step I took was getting to know what's right for me to eat, what my body required and how i was going to take it in my body. With professional nutrition guidance, I was able to eliminate unhealthy foods from my diets, as well as concentrated on the foods that would help best restore my body weight. It took me patience and still does, to re-learn how to eat from baby food until I was able to chew and swallow solid food again. Some of the food choices I got helped with the healing of my mouth wounds and others on strengthening my immunity. Its almost a year down the road, and am back to my desired body weight. I am currently 58Kg, have better sleep and physically fit. My menus adjusted to healthy meals and i feel alive again! Am glad i got professional help with my diet and highly recommend the same for anyone battling with a non-communicable disease. CHK Integrative Nutrition Center is a good choice to consider for professional nutrition help.
