昨天打完三號風球大風大雨後，今日是出奇地出現晴朗的天空的星期天，早上往荃灣參加了一個港大主辦的鼻咽癌講座，講題主要是關於此癌的診斷及治療新趨向。原來大多數發病原因是不明的，只有少數是因遺傳、食太多鹹魚或感染EB病毒而引起的，所以醫生很多時都未能解答我們患者的疑團。從講座知道鼻咽癌也可以經手術掀起臉皮開刀切除腫瘤的，以及新的電療技術－強度調控放射治療(IMRT)。因為此癌症的腫瘤對(IMRT)是非常敏感，可以成功殲滅癌腫瘤，我就是被安排以此電療技術治療的，也可將副作用減至最低。所以我是不用過份擔心的。講座完結比原本時間稍早，不到１２時可和曦曦午膳。

After the typhoon and heavy raining yesterday, today is curiously shinny brightly Sunday and we went to Tsuen Wan City Hall to attend a talk on NPC.  The talk was organized by HKU Medical Faculty. The main theme is the diagnosis and the new cureness directions of the NPC.  Actually, a survey was showed that most of the NPC was not come from heredity, eating much preserved food or infect the EB disease. That's why doctors always could not explain to patients the reasons they suffer the cancer.  According to the talk, we noted that operations on face to take off the tumour could be the treatment to cure the NPC.  Also, a new technology on radiotherahy treatment, IMRT is the best treatment to kill the tumours because NPC tomours are very sensitive to this technology.  I was the patient of the IMRT treatment. So I should not be so worry.  There was less side effects suffered from this treatment.  The talk ended earlier than the scheduled time but we learned more from it.  We have had an early lunch with Hei hei then.
