Home > From 40kg and Hopelessness to Recovery: Dr Quass’s Nasopharyngeal Cancer Journey
When I was battling nasopharyngeal cancer, life became almost unbearable. The treatments were harsh, radiotherapy left me unable to speak clearly, unable to eat properly, and my body wasted away until I had lost 40kg. I was weak, frail, and at times I wondered if my body could withstand the suffering any longer. During the process, heart complications were discovered through echocardiogram scans. Doctors found blocked arteries, enlargement of the heart chambers, and I had already undergone a bypass surgery. On top of that, the side effects of radiotherapy brought terrible imbalances to my body, constant ear pressure, dizziness, and even chest tightness. I was barely functioning, and every day felt like a fight for survival. Then, three months after starting AFC products, I experienced something truly remarkable. Bit by bit, the problems that once seemed impossible began to resolve. My appetite returned, my weight increased by 7kg, and slowly I regained energy and strength. My medical check-up on 20/1/24 showed results that even surprised my doctors, my echocardiogram readings improved to 7.0, even better than the normal 5.5–5.5 range. From being too weak to eat or speak, to now living a life of balance and energy, I cannot describe how grateful I am. AFC SOP Subarashi and Utsukushhii gave me more than nutrition, they gave me back my dignity, my hope, and a new chance at life. For those going through cancer and its painful treatments, please do not give up. I stand here today, stronger and healthier, as living proof that recovery is possible.
