  • Hello Kwh and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation.

    Sinus cancer is a rare cancer with only about 400 people being diagnosed each year.

    There are many different types of nasal and sinus cancers which you can read more about on our website. The type of sinus cancer and the stage will have a huge bearing on how it is treated.

    I am not sure how old your son is but the average age when most people are diagnosed with this particular cancer are in their 50's and 60's.

    We have a page on our website of resources and support for those living with nasal and sinus cancers.

    I do hope that all goes well with yourself and your son. If either of you would like to ring and chat through any of this with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call. the number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
