Purpose of this blog

My name is Cor and this is my story dealing with mucosal melanoma (MM) in my nose which was diagnosed on 10 Jan 2017. I am married and have 2 kids. I write and update this blog to reach out to all my loved ones far away with updates and my state of mind and also to share information with other patients.

New daily rhythm

Early morning:
  • Wake up between 5-7am, blow my nose and flush it with saline solution
  • Take a tablespoon of cold pressed sunflower oil and swish it in my mouth while smiling, meditating, preparing yoga mat, soothing music and prepare first mug of green tea.
  • Spit out the oil mixed with saliva, imagine all toxins left the body with it
  • Take a huge slice of japanese pink ginger (sushi)  and chew it as long as i can. The taste buds on the sides of my tongue scream but i get a deep, satisfying sense of cleansing.
  • Do yoga while smiling, followed by light excersize for 1 hour. Feel exhausted and rejuvenated.
  • Have a second mug of green tea while recovering, meditate and chew patiently on celery, carrot, bell peppers and cucumber.
Breakfast:
  • Take with breakfast: vitamin B-complex, 2 sunflower oil tablets, anti-hystamines.
  • Breakfast is a glass of fresh apple-carrot juice and miso soup with lots of tofu and boiled cabbage. Drink water and a mug of earlgrey tea with milk.
Morning:
  • Cherish my only cup of caffe latte with cinamon powder.
  • Snack on veggie sticks.
  • Steam trough nose with tea tree oil for 15-30 minutes. Smile while doing it.
  • Go to office, meet with people, have teleconferences, mimize travel, delegate clearly, let it be and depend on quality staff, let them grow by being a calm and positive radiating role-model, minimize e-mail reading. 
  • Think positively on any info coming in, any opinion has good intent. Stop thinking suspicious thoughts. 
  • Let others worry about their own hidden agendas and delegate the task to themselves to check if they make progress on it. Make fun of them in your mind observing their tricks as they don't bother or touch you anymore. Laugh and shrug it off.
  • Stop trying to control progress in everything. Let it go and check on it once a week with the person you assigned to it.
  • Walk home, enjoy the sweat, smile at people around you, enjoy nature, be happy to live.
  • Cleanse the nose before lunch with saline fluid.
Lunch:
  • Lunch is a bowl of yoghurt with chai seeds, honey, cinnamon and cereals, and a bowl of cut apple, chinese pear and grapes. A mug of green tea goes with it.
Afternoon:
  • Take a nap.
  • Work from home. 
  • Cleanse nose around 4pm and take a warm bath with 4 drops of tea tree oil. Relax in the bath, not too hot, smile and breathe in the damp and oil through the nose.
  • Spend time with my wife and children, joke and hug.
  • Stop trying to be the perfect father and spend that time and energy being with my family. 
  • Swim as many laps as possible, feel exhausted. Rest at poolside in the shade. Enjoy the warmth of the sun.
Diner:
  • Diner is the same as the rest of the family. Lots of green leafy veggies, broccoli, soups, sea food, no processed meat. More fruits for desert: citrus, apple, pineapple, pomello, grapes.
Evening:
  • One more time cleanse the nose (after diner) at least an hour before sleeping so the throst can re-establish mucus balance to prevent dry throat while trying to fall asleep.
  • Watch a movie together or talk about positive changes and how to remove stress in life.
  • More green tea.
  • Before going to bed a detox glass of virgin oil, a lime, honey and hot water. It makes the bowels move smoothly and removes any toxins with it.
When waking up at night:
  • Drink a cup of barley tea
  • Sit in lotus pose, feel vibration through the body with 'oohm' and smile while breathing through the nose.
  • Put on warming eye mask.
  • Lie down, breathe in through nose (4sec), hold breath (7sec), breathe out through mouth (8sec).
Weekly/monthly:
  • Every week take an oxygen treatment session (Hydrogen-per-Oxyde (H2O2) or Ozone (O3))
  • Every two weeks check if anything is lacking in the diet due chemo side effects, changing energy levels, boredom with same diet.
  • Review if you really let go of controlling everything. Write down which pattern you still fall back into. Try harder and smile at your silly mistakes. Never get angry with yourself. Any progress is good progress.
  • Eat a cookie or favorite candies once in a while. Dont be too strict or hard on yourself.
  • Talk with beloved family by whatsapp/skype and exchange views on progress.
  • Plan a diner or coffee with good friends, have a glass of white wine, laugh a lot, crack silly bad jokes and enjoy conversation.

I agree my dear brother. Everyone should live like this. I will print it and hang it in my kitchen. Thank you.
One remark about tofu (according to my dear daughter): you shouldn't eat it more then once a week. Better is tempeh since it is fermented and tofu is not. I don't know how to sign this, so I chose anonymous. Your sissie Wilma

Thanks for the suggestionsWilma and Roos, I will balance that a bit more. Protein and calcium is lacking my diet so I am going to add veggie protein smoothies with milk. By the way, smiling opens the ducts from nose to the upper sinuses, so breathing and steaming reaches them too.
